There's a delicious restaurant on practically every corner, with J & R's El Rey Fine Mexican Food being among the most famous. Unfortunately, they closed their doors some years ago... but the legend lives on.
Locals also go wild for Guayo's On the Trail, a family-owned and operated Mexican restaurant that has served the Globe community since 1938.

To say this one's good is a bit of an understatement.
The three-page menu takes a while to sift through, but you'll be glad you did.

It has some real gems, from carne asada (the house specialty) to comforting menudo, albondigas, and everything in between.
