    Arizona burrito
    Jordan H.

    A very hefty burrito with plenty of meat. Red and green salsas both were pretty alright. I'd come back if I'm in the area.

    Supreme Burrito
    CJ L.

    The supreme burro is mega YUM. This place being so close to CSL Plasma is PERFECT as I'm usually starving post plasma donation. The food is served fairly quickly as it has a counter order system similar to fast food. My only hang up is the furniture needs some repairs. The place is by no means dirty but the dinged up furniture and inner walls makes it seem dingy. BUT AGAIN the food is delish and the only way for them to improve their facilities is to bring them your business and money for repairs/newer things!

    After people showed up.

    This place used to be Los Favoritos and I liked it then. They got new ownership but everything seems to be the same. The salsas taste the same. I went on a Sunday about 11am. There were only two people there. They let me bring in my own coffee. I had an egg, potato, bean, cheese breakfast burrito. I added guacamole. I had the complimentary water. The burrito was very, very good. Maybe excellent but I'm only giving them four stars so in accordance, I'l say very, very good. Tortilla was thin and pliable. Potatoes/hashbrowns were pretty crispy, considering they were wrapped in a tortilla. I cut my burrito in half and the cross section didn't reveal that all the ingredients were scrambled together but instead, cooked separate and placed in the burrito. The red salsa rules. Sidenote: The punx (up da punx) say this place uses lard in the tortillas and beans. I didn't ask because I know da punx to be diligent. So it's prob not vegetarian and def not vegan. Service was decent, friendly. Food came in about ten minutes. When no one was there, it was nice. I dined in and knew I'd be sitting for a bit. About 11:30am, all the college students must've woke up and the place was packed. It wasn't totally annoying but it wasn't as peaceful as it was when it was empty. Go early if you're not into crowds. No wifi but I was able to jump on another close company's free wifi. I'll come back as I have when it was Los Favs.

    Always am amazing service and high quality food served by even better people. My go to is Cali burrito, and don't forget the red & green sauce.

    Burritos are amazing. Very flavorful, nice thin tortilla, and HUGE portion. They definitely don't skimp on the meat inside.

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.

There was a line when we got there but the food came so fast a little after we got a table. They have drive thru too. Ambiance was great. Seats are limited and they have outdoor options. They played Mexican music which adds to the authenticity. Saw reviews that parking is limited but we got lucky, they're were still a few open spots when we came. Overall, would recommend and will come back

The meats are so good. We also use to love the sushi side. During Covid, we tried the sushi for the first time. We were hesitant as it's a Mexican joint, right? Not a Japanese specialty shop. So to my surprise, I couldn't believe the sushi especially the Las Vegas roll and their Nigiri cuts were pretty dang good. My disappointment seems to be this last year with the sushi just hasn't been the best or fresh tasting. The Las Vegas roll was always nice and warm but with an awesome cold center and fried to perfection and the sauce just right. Lately it's been the opposite. Super over fried were all you can taste is old burnt oil and it dried out and the sauce just bland and not helping at all. The other thing that bothers us is the lack of wasabi they give! If you're not going to give us full flavor, at least give more wasabi to help mask. I will say they give you plenty of soy sauce packets (just barely any wasabi).
