The meat was great, we didn't get enough sauce so we got extra on the side. The hoagie, unfortunately, was burnt to a blackened crisp, and detracted from the otherwise good BBQ. $ (2008) El Rancho Restaurant , (928) 367-4557, 1523 E White Mountain Blvd, Pinetop. Mexican Restaurant. Our large party had mixed reviews. Kudos for the shredded beef taco salad, chimichangas, chicken quesadilla, albondigas soup & enchilada. 2 tacos & enchilada plate came with only one taco. Tostadas were cold. $ (2008) Grumpy Jake's BBQ, (928) 532-2266, 5647 White Mountain Blvd, Lakeside. Hon-Dah Indian Pine Restaurant , (800) 929-8744, in the Hon-Dah Resort Casino. Open 6am-10pm daily.

Southbank Chicken Caesar Salad was drenched in dressing. With a $7.95 lunch buffet, it hardly made sense to try a sandwich. $$ (2008)
