Among the joys of heading west for a taste of desert baseball is the taste of real Mexican food. Ray Horner and I got a tip from the Tribe's Bob DiBiasio on "Raoul & Theresa's" just south of Goodyear Ballpark (make a left coming out of the park; south on Estrella, then left on MC85 then about 100 yards on the right after crossing Litchfield) for some seriously good eating.
Other culinary notes: there's a nice gift shop off I-10 and Bullard that has a sign asking visitors to have an "ass-kicking day" -- of course, with a burrow in high rear kick. They've got a pretty decent selection of hot sauces so yes, it will do that.
The Goodyear area has plenty of decent places to eat, most of the chains included. There is still plenty of land to develop around the area and visitors this year will note the economy hasn't left the West Valley of Phoenix unscathed with plenty of empty storefronts and some of the restaurants already up for lease. Nearby Glendale probably gets more of the higher-range dining choices but you won't have any problems getting a good meal after the game.
As noted in the Pancake War post, the Black Bear Diner off I-10 & Dysart in Avondale (southwest corner south of the interchange) piles on the food at very affordable prices. I don't know what lunch or dinner is like, but for breakfast the grub is very good. One nearby table had a chicken-fried steak so huge it looked like part of a truck tire. Don't take your cardiologist to this place or else you'll get nothing but lecture through the whole meal.
If you survive.
