ducksface 2 Posted August 26, 2012 And Los hermanos has great authentic sonoran food. The other place in town about 1000 feet farther up the hill, is the worst food I've had on the road in 30 years. If you like rough and tough beefy beef, o:-) order their los hermanos machaca. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
