Discover Pinal through food

For this Discover Pinal, we’re taking subscribers on a tour of our county through the cuisine local restaurants offer. We asked a number of area restaurants to submit information about and, in some cases, photos of one of their best dishes.

They each offered up a delightful combination of soups, salads, tacos and pitas, each with their own unique spin. Grab your forks and spoons and dig into the flavors and stories behind some of Pinal County’s favorite dishes.

And if you’re looking for more tasty treats, subscribers can take a look at our annual restaurant guide. Maybe you’ll find your favorite dish here in Pinal County.
