In southern Arizona, cowboy fare is more common than haute cuisine. There are exceptions, though, especially in the wine region of Sonoita and in the trendy town of Bisbee, both popular for weekend outings from Tucson. And, as one would expect, Mexican food dominates menus.

A Yuma institution, La Fonda opened as a tortilla factory in 1940, then added a colorful restaurant onto the original building in 1982; locals have been enjoying the carne asada, pollo asado, and chiles rellenos here ever since. Only canola oil is used (not lard), and all the sauces and marinades are made fresh, as are the corn tortillas, which many say are the best in town. Save room for the homemade desserts—the flan and fried ice cream are fabulous. Open for breakfast (served all day), lunch, and early dinner, La Fonda closes at 8 (7:30 on weekdays) so the employees can go home to their families.
With reasonably priced Mexican favorites from morning 'til night, this humble eatery is a welcome surprise for anyone passing through. Don't let the weather-beaten exterior keep you from sampling tacos, burritos, tamales, and "shrimp cocktail" (served in a gazpacho-like soup)—they are all winners.
