A necessary staple of any Tucsonan's Apocalypse Preparedness Pack, salsa is relatively simple to make—it's basically tomatoes, peppers, onion and a bit of love. But no matter how much time you spend perfecting your recipe while hiding from roaming hordes of bandits, you'd be hard-pressed to match the magic of Guadalajara Grill, the now-perennial Best of Tucson® winner. Guadalajara's salsa is made beside your table to your specifications. The ingredients are of your choosing, as is the preferred level of heat. Dear reader, the proof is in the pudding—or, in this case, the molcajete.
