Have you ever had trouble finding good, authentic Mexican food? I received a tip about a place in Phoenix, Arizona where the chef was nominated for the 2010 James Beard award for best chef in the southwest, quite an honor for a tiny restaurant in a strip mall on 16th in Phoenix. Turns out, her food is spectacular and worthy of the nomination, and possibly the award.

Upon my return to Florida, I sought to recreate one of her dishes at a fast food outlet named after a Mexican phone company. Watch the video to see how well I did. Thanks to Doc Terry Simpson for playing the Mexican on the Arizona segment. Seems there weren't many real Mexicans around anymore.
