Good AZ eats by the Phoenix Airport?
I mean really close to the Phoenix Airport. I have a layover of an hour and a half between PHX and LA. Any local deliciousness nearby? I just ask because we have a ton of options within walking distance from the Burbank LA airport so I thought it might be the same here. Thanks!

Hohokam is right. PHX Sky Harbor is a huge airport -- much bigger than Burbank. There's no way you could exit the airport, return, and clear security in 90 minutes. Choose the least offensive option behind security.

The only thing within walking distance of the terminals at PHX is more airport. ;-)
Seriously, though, 90 minutes doesn't seem like a whole lot of time to me, given that you're looking at close to a 10-minute cab ride each way and a wait at the security checkpoint plus time spent walking through the airport, which can be considerable if you're going through Terminal 3 or 4.
It might be possible, but I know I would be too worried about missing my connecting flight to enjoy my meal.
I always fly through Terminal 4 (Southwest and US Air). When I eat there, I usually go with a green chile burrito or tamale from one of the Mexican places (Oaxaca, El Bravo) or a breakfast burrito from Blue Burrito Grille--my choice being driven by which gate I'm flying out of and how much time I have before my flight. None of these are what I would call great, but definitely better than the fast food chains (e.g., BK, CPK, Pizza Hut).
