Tacos from Casa Corazon

‘Check, Please! Arizona’ features family-owned restaurants

Javier Verdugo built Casa Corazon with his own hands and serves dishes from his hometown in Mexico.

After years of running other people’s restaurants, Mike Lopercio opened RigaTony’s, an Italian eatery filled with family recipes.

Jonny and Lauren Oughterson turned Local Jonny’s into the perfect spot for breakfast, lunch or dinner with live music on Friday and Saturday nights.
