It is in the City of Chandler, on Ray Road at the Southeast corner of the intersection 
of Kyrene Road (a couple, 3 miles east of I-10 --- Ray is exit 159).

Mike, for some New Mexican style food, you could try Arriba on the north side of 
Camelback at about 18th Street - tasty food, good salsas and El Yucateco on the 
tables. Their quesadilla with Hatch chiles is very tasty and amazingly hot for only 
using green chiles. Many of my chile consuming friends keep recommending Los 
Dos Molinos - there are two of them, one about a half mile north of Northern Ave. on 
Central Ave and the other somewhere on Alma School in Mesa. The brewpub, 
Coyote Springs (sw corner of  20th Street and Camelback) used to offer some really 
good wings - tasty and very hot (4 and I was in an endorphin high) ... I think they 
serve them tamer now, but I know you can get them hotter than they list on their 
menu. There are a number of chain fast food burrito places around town (all locally 
refered to as "Berto's" because they all (or most) have names that end in "berto" and 
they are mostly interchangeable) that have remarkably good burros - I've never had a 
poor one and I eat at one or another fairly often. Sorry I can't give you a longer list of 
spots, but I don't eat out that much. 

As an aside - while we have considerably more heat available at our restaurants here 
in Phoenix than the benighted places back east, the normal run of Mexican food 
around here is (of course) northern Sonoran style which is somewhat to a bunch 
milder than you will find in New Mexico ....
