It's first of all visual appeal and then the olfactory sensations inhaling the aromas, then "the mouth feel" and then the taste. (Photo credit: Phoenix New Times/Heather Hoch, but the two I ate looked better than this one - there's a whole condiment to add more)
You won't find this local downtown place on Visit Mesa's "Foodie Trail" . . .
Your MesaZona blogger posted this about Micky's back on November 9, 2015
If the New Urban Downtown Mesa is all about PROMOTING - your MesaZona blogger is admittedly guilty of that - there are some local long-established downtown businesses Off-Main Street, just a block or two's walking distance south of Main Street that readers will be happy to know about for authentic Mexican food.
Like this one on the NW corner of Macdonald Street & Broadway: Micky's Hot Dogs. It's been here for 17 years.Here's what you see when you walk right onto Broadway . . .
Mexican Food Sonora Style
[and half a block east on Broadway on the south side is the most successful restaurant in all of downtown Mesa: Mariscos de Sinaloa, but more about that in a later post].
All the tortillas, big and small with your choice of wheat or corn tortillas, are hand-made Hecho a Mano as shown here by Miguel when that was brought to my attention by the manager during a visit to Micky's yesterday just after 11:00 a.m. when it opens and stays open most days, except Tuesday, until 11:00 p.m.
It's one of downtown's few food establishments that does stay open "late". For 17 years they know how to keep people happy - at the same time attracting new customers.
Indoor tables were filled and a family of six were eating on the outdoor patio when yours truly arrived with a friend just after 11. . . Good crowd when the doors just opened!
It's always an encouraging sign to see lots of people liking the food at a neighborhood place.

Micky's
108 West Broadway Road, Mesa
"Micky's is well-known by Sonoran dog connoisseurs for its consistency in hours, location, and quality. Though we think their dog could use a bit more bacon (we had to check to make sure it actually had some after our first bite), we love to drop in anytime we're near downtown Mesa for a quick bite to eat."
