That's outrageous. Well I hope you enjoy your time in AZ! I don't know the places you mention. If you ever get up to Flagstaff, try La Fonda (#1 for sopapillas) or El Charro. Casa Bonita is authentic too but it's from a more southerly, cream-sauce, fish-eating tradition. In Globe, La Casita rocks. They butter the tortillas.
