Ramona’s guidebook for Sky Valley
Authentic Mexican Food!
Sure there are lots of good Mexican restaurants in the area. But in Dillard, a tiny place called La Vercruzana Taqueria on Franklin St is down behind the Merry Christmas Shop, Turpins Jewelry, etc. You'd never know it was there. Bring your Spanish speaking skills or just take a chance! :-)
Incredible food, by one of the top 100 chefs in the U.S. Yet very comfortable/casual attire is perfectly acceptable. Reservations recommended in busy seasons.
