They are. Those are the poblano and cheese enchiladas and they are excellent.
The PHX food choices are among the best of all Sky Clubs
Mostly regional inspired cuisine and usually several options among meat and vegetarian dishes.

DCA Skyclub on Saturday had some good eggs/root veggies/quinoa/hash (with lots of toppings) for making breakfast bowls. Also had some nice yogurt and pear dishes as well as a ricotta and raspberry dish. Nice upgrade from what I'm used to in ATL!

Nicely surprised in SLC SC last Sunday eve. I didn't make it to the food counter but an agent had a satellite rolling cart offering ham & cheese on brioche mini sandos to all. She even took a moment to inform each person what the special item was. Nice touch!

This has been happening with some frequency at many clubs recently. In SEA in the morning they were passing out coffee & coffee cakes. A few months ago at LAX it was sparkling wine and cheese cake in the afternoon.

I’ve enjoyed the food at MSP F/G SC. Sure, it can be a bit repetitive but the flavors are good and the chicken isn’t over cooked. Today the Soba noodles were quite spicy which, while I am Minnesotan, I loved. The staff is always helpful, friendly, and working hard. Yeah, it’s not “The Ritz”, but I don’t expect that for a US lounge.

OK but it's one of the worst lounges at a Delta hub in the Sky Club system. I'm glad they are redoing it but it should have happened a long time ago. It has nowhere near the capacity for the size of the hub, the bathrooms are disgusting, it lacks showers, the HVAC can't keep up and the decor is austere and not relaxing.

They only updated the food service area (which was badly needed). They did not touch the rest of the lounge. They did new furniture/carpeting right after the merger but that has not held up well over the past decade. Restrooms have not been touched since it was a NWA World Club and there are still no showers. Biggest issues with the club is the size, which no amount of remodeling can fix. It's just not right sized given that it is a major DL hub (this, or they need a third one, but they seem to have decided to build an expanded version of this club, coming next year). They need to at least double the capacity, and I also hope they upgrade the food service to the level of SEA A or SFO, which more options and also real dishes.

and to add to this, they are expanding the F/G club and building new bathrooms.

Decent spread at the LAX T2 lounge at lunch time today. Stuff to make chicken or beef soft tacos, a fruit and cheese board, chicken tortilla soup, the make your own Asian soup/ broth thing, as well as the normal veggies.
I also like how they have a self serve bar, but the keg on the Delta IPA was empty and the new keg was room temperature so the staff said sorry we're not going to tap it for a couple hours until it gets cold.
