Additional Information

When you've won the New Times Best of Phoenix Award for Best Tortillas every year for the past nine years, we think it's safe to say someone is trying to send a message. A Valley legend since 1968, The Original Carolina's Mexican Food has gained cult-like status due to its incredible homemade tortillas and authentic Mexican dishes. Experience this Phoenix institution with today's deal of $20 worth of food and drinks for just $10.

Setting the standard for flour tortillas in the area, Carolina's award-winning discs are made in-house and come fresh off the grill ready to stand up to the sloppiest of green chile fillings, yet still manage to be almost paper-thin. Operating out of a charmingly bare-bones shop, Carolina's offers plenty of options to pair with your tortillas including green corn tamales, enchiladas, red machaca burros and, on weekends, menudo. Yelp and UrbanSpoon reviewer favorites include the Oaxaca Special of chorizo, potatoes, cheese and beans; green machaca with cheese, double-wrapped and foot-long; and buttered tortillas for a quick treat. Don't leave breakfast out of the fun, though; Carolina's also serves up seriously tasty breakfast burros with machaca or chorizo with egg, potato and beans.
