I love my neighborhood Federicos. The customer service is always good, the drive thru staff are super friendly. The food is 10/10 every time, I specifically love the Birria tacos. The meat is so juicy and flavorful I can tell it's been cooked with love :) the 3 tacos are very filling. I will always be a regular here! read more

Sometimes you just feel like a big ole burrito! I was heading off to an appointment and swung by this place. It's good to see that they still have the big giant burritos that will probably last me all day. The drive thru staff was super friendly. The food came out hot and fast. Delicious to boot! I'll go back for sure when I get a hankering for a burrito again. read more

My friend and I hiked nearby dreamy draw mountain and was in the mood for breakfast burritos after. We googled and found this place. We went at lunch time and there were many patrons. You know that's a good sign. We got ham and cheese burrito and carne asada. Both were good. The cashier was super nice and professional. They do not have a garnishment bar which probably is ok with all the germs going around. They do have salsa in a container available. It was decent lunch. Little pricey but expected. $28 for burritos and 1 drink. read more

Now, more than ever, I want to support local wherever I can. I was craving a bean and cheese burrito and this did not disappoint. The dining room was very clean, the service very friendly. The price was a little higher than I like to pay for a burrito, but I get it. Small businesses are trying to survive and pay their employees a living wage. This location has a 24 hour drive-through and robust menu, including breakfast options. Take it easy on the red hot sauce until you check the temperature! read more

Living in the valley, I think I've been to all of the *berto's restaurants and had varying degrees of quality and limited consistency. I stumbled on Federico's not too long ago and have been blown away with the consistent quality. The food is always hot and well prepared. The red sauce is, well, red sauce. It's not red flavored vinegary water. The service is also fast and friendly :) If you have that craving for this kind of food, stop by... You're not going to regret it. read more

Came for a late night snack and found a pleasant surprise! I wish they had this in Texas because this was a game changer for fast food imo. Service was fast and food was amazingg, especially because I was starving. Other reviews are accurate in that they do not skimp out on protein and they make it when ordered so I love that it was hot and fresh. I tried their carne asada tostada and had to come right back before my flight (mainly because I looovee crunchy things) and also because the flavor overall was great. The salsas were flavorful as well and had just the right amount of kick. Pretty good bang for your buck and I would definitely recommend! read more

Came here after midnight I was the only customer in line. I told the lady at the drive thru I wanted one chicken taco and one beef taco. Two tacos total. I get to the window and she charged me for four tacos and extra sour cream for each one. $1.19 each for the sour cream.. LOL. I told her at the window I only wanted TWO tacos. She insisted I ordered FOUR. I SAID NO. Just give me my money back. This is the best part haha she gave me 11 dollars back (I handed her a 20) and said the tacos are FREE. I said ok but you still didn't give me all my money back! So very rudely she finally gave me my money back and no I did not accept any of there tacos that they prepared WITHOUT GLOVES BY THE WAY. needles to say I will not be coming back ever again. read more

The lady who answered when I called tried to tell me that this is how the meal comes when I have eaten here many times and know she's lying. She wanted me to drive 5 miles back to the restaurant to return my food for a refund. As if they were just going to serve it to someone else?? Gross.

Size does matter! That is what they serve here, the burritos must weigh about a pound and a half no matter which one you order. I prefer the Carna Asada, Chorizo with Potatoes or Breakfast Burrito with Eggs, Potatoes and Sausage. The Carna Asada Tacos are huge served I'm a soft taco and you can barely bend the tortilla because there is so much meat and salsa. I also like the cheese quesidilla which also is served on an awesome tortilla. Everything is very inexpensive and pretty fresh tasting. So to sum it up huge portions, cheap prices count me in on coming back for more! read more

Great random burrito today in the heart of Phoenix, Mexico. When your driving around this part of town, it is either tortas, tacos or burrito's. Now this joint has locations all over the Valley, so I was just expecting another standard grease bomb. No fast food Mexican places use white meat chicken, but the pollo asado here is all white and it was simply placed in a burro with guacamole and pico de gallo. It was a large item and a great value at 6 bucks. Not sure why this burro was so good, but it hit the spot and did not even need any of the salsa that was available. The interior at lunch is full of working class dudes (mostly Mexican), but at least on this day at this location this burrito was excellent. read more

The red salsa surprisingly was really good and didn't have the watered down taste like other Mexican fast food places. The drive thru was poppin since it was lunch time. The horchata was the best and again didn't taste watered down. My mom had a carne asada torta and omg was the meat GOOD. It was so tasty and well seasoned!

We were also given free chips & house made bean dip.

Out of all the restaurants I had before leaving Arizona, THIS ended up being one of the places I couldn't stop thinking about after I moved away. Ever since leaving, I've randomly craved these tacos constantly. I've tried other taco spots in Denver hoping something would compare, but honestly nothing really hit the same. So when I came back out to Phoenix recently to visit some friends, this was one of the first places I knew I needed to come back to because I had built it up so much in my head over time. And somehow... it was just as good again. The meat tastes incredibly fresh, flavorful, and well-seasoned, and you can literally watch them prepare everything right in front of you, which makes the whole experience even better. There's something so satisfying about seeing the tacos being made fresh instead of food just appearing from the kitchen. You can tell they care about quality and consistency. The servers were also super friendly and welcoming both times I came here, which honestly makes such a difference. Everyone had great energy, the service was quick, and the whole place just feels inviting and authentic. I honestly think the fact that I remembered this place so vividly for so long says everything. Usually when you revisit a restaurant after hyping it up in your head for years, it ends up disappointing you. But this place tasted exactly how I remembered it, fresh, flavorful, comforting, and absolutely worth the obsession. Safe to say this place is officially a mandatory stop for me anytime I'm back in Phoenix now.

For the table, Camarones Locos is an easy choice. The flame grilled shrimp comes out hot and full of flavor, perfect for passing around. La Patrona ceviche tower is massive and worth the order. When it hits the table, you immediately feel good about the decision. El Pulpazo is technically an entrée, but we always order it as a shareable. The octopus is grilled perfectly and it comes with rice and beans, so everyone gets a little of everything. For entrées, my number one pick is the Lobster and Crab Enchiladas with green sauce. I think about this dish at least once a week. The enchiladas are packed with lobster and crab, and the green sauce ties the whole thing together. Honestly, I could talk about this place all day. If you like Mexican food and seafood, you need to try it. Great food, big portions, and a menu that makes it hard to stop ordering.

This review is for the totality of the experience…read more I made an advance reservation at Alma Scottsdale for a mid-sized group of 7 to celebrate a special occasion. Our party arrived right on time for our reservation, but we were not seated until 15 min later because our table was not ready. It took about an additional 15 min to get tap water for the table (there was not enough provided anyways), and to place our orders too another ~20 min. The food did not arrive until 30 min later. For context, we eventually learned that the restaurant was short staffed and the bartender was also operating as our waiter. When the food finally arrived, there was a mix-up on what was delivered. We had checked with the staff who delivered one of the dishes: we ordered the "wild mushroom" side, but what we received did not look quite like it. We asked clarifying questions x2, but were assured, "no, it is the wild mushroom." Turned out, it was the mushroom empanada that was delivered to our table, which we originally did not order. The management did rectify the situation upon the conclusion of the event when we were paying the bill, but to us, it felt a bit accusatory as if we intentionally wanted to cause a huge fuss about the final total, which was absolutely not the case. The food in general was delicious. If this was a more standard dining experience, it would have been 4-5 stars just for the food. The service was very subpar, and really colored the entire experience negatively, therefore the two star review. I understand that staffing shortages happen -- fine. My family has worked in food service as wait staff for 25+ YEARS, so I am empathetic. But for management to ring up our bill and then come confront us in an inflammatory manner, making us feel like we were wrong, on an occasion to celebrate something special, was extremely disappointing.
