Coming from L.A. where Carne asada is a must and there are meat markets in every corner, Phoenix tells otherwise but one great place for carne. Carniceria del pacific not only the best meat for asada and Pollo preparado and they grill it for you on the spot if you want to be lazy. The prices are a little bit more than usual but well worth it. Bistec a la plancha is the less expensive version of ranchera but does not substitute the ranchera flavor they carry.
