The May 31, 2008 edition of the New York Times suggested that having Scottsdale condo rentals
will allow you to have 'desert versions' of Miami's South Beach condo
rentals because of all their access to great late night partying and
booming commercial development scenes. Just like in South Beach, at
Scottsdale you will encounter a strong Latino influence that puts an
unique twist on the local culture. One of the great outcomes of this
culture mix is the great list of Tex-Mex restaurants that you will be
able enjoy. BBOnline recommends these three amazing Tex-Mex restaurants
nearby more than one Scottsdale vacation rental: Rita's Kitchen (5402 E. Lincoln Drive, expensive price), Chipotle Mexican Grill (4513 N. Scottsdale Road, inexpensive price) and Old Town Tortilla Factory Scottsdale (6910 E Main St, moderate price).
Rita's Kitchen
Located within the Camel Back Inn Resort, a W Marriott Resort & Spa in Scottsdale, Arizona, Rita's Kitchen offers authentic home-style regional cuisine. This restaurant is well known for its weekend brunches that will allow for $60 per person to enjoy an unlimited amount of dishes that range from classic breakfast items such as pancakes to the more unusual ones such as filet mignon tacos. Some people might argue that the buffet price is a bit steep, but there will be no doubt that you're getting the best bang for your buck, once you realize how fresh the food is and how the items are constantly being rotated. Unfortunately, the restaurant doesn't allow you to take home left-overs. Guests at Rita's Kitchen have the option to sit inside or outside in the patio area.
Chipotle Mexican Grill
West coasters and southerners alike might be surprised to see
this popular Mexican food chain included in a list of best Tex-Mex
restaurants, but they should be aware of three facts. First, this chain
is not present in all states so there are plenty of people who don't
now this brand. Second, you must try the barbacoa beef tacos from the
N. Scottsdale Road location. Third, this is a great option for those
visiting Scottsdale on a tight budget or just wanting to be able to
quickly grab a meal that they can enjoy in the comfort of their
Scottsdale vacation rentals. The staff at this location always serve
with a smile, no matter how busy the place can get. Talking about great
service, this Chipotle Mexican Grill is known for letting you take as
many free condiments (lime slices, spices, etc.) as you want, without
even a purchase being required.
Old Town Tortilla Factory Scottsdale
Opening daily at 5:00 p.m., the Old Town Tortilla Factory Scottsdale is located on a beautiful 75-year old adobe home that has been adapted to provide a Southern-style homey feeling with all the modern necessities.
