Travel safely. Enjoy your meal at Manuel’s.We’re heading up to Phoenix this morning and got a picture of Picacho Peak off the I-10. It’s a 3,300 foot peak at the summit that you can hike up and around it. Pretty cool how stuff like this was formed from the remnants of volcanoes.

You KNOW that's on the itinerary!Travel safely. Enjoy your meal at Manuel’s.![]()
We rarely pass up an opportunity to stop there.You KNOW that's on the itinerary!
It was delicious as always! Like most places they did make them smaller now and of course raise the price. But the service and food is always great there. Next stop Scottsdale to get the hutch I had made for Annie.You KNOW that's on the itinerary!
I have been to the top of the peak. There is a solid rock wall about 20 ft high that has toe holes and chains that you have to pull yourself up. Margie waited for me to return a couple hours later. The solid rock wall is the first thing you encounter on the climb. View from the top is great!We’re heading up to Phoenix this morning and got a picture of Picacho Peak off the I-10.

Little Mexico on E. Valencia just East of I19 in a strip mall. Also off Valencia up 12th street is El Güero Canelo Restaurant for the best Sonoran Hotdogs...Called Sammy dogs, https://elguerocanelo.com/elguerocanelo1?utm_source=googleWe rarely pass up an opportunity to stop there.You’d think where we are now being only 40 minutes from the border there’d be some good Mexican restaurants but there isn’t. Someone just told us about a good one up in Tucson so we’ll probably try that one next time we’re up there.
Thanks Phil! We did go to the Manuels in GV back in the summer and I thought it was the same chain as up in the valley but it's not and the food wasn't all that great and the service was worse. We'll have to try the others and maybe we can get together one day and go out for Mexican?Little Mexico on E. Valencia just East of I19 in a strip mall.

Yeah, Margie and I do not go to Manuels as it was poor service and it is so loud in the winter. There is another place we go that is a Beer and Burger place called The Garage...used to be Coaches..Sports bar but burgers are good, and Margie has a favorite quesadilla offering.Thanks Phil!
