1st time here. Didn't know it was patio seating only, but it was okay. Nice patio for breakfast. I think it was the manager who took our order at the outside window, he was friendly and smiled. He helped us with ordering. Lots of complimentary add ons. Salsas were fire hot! The barbecoa was tender meat. Dined at 1030 Easter morning and they were busy. Will be back. read more

This is not it. I've been here a handful of times since moving to the area because it's hard to find a good burrito spot. I was on the fence about trying them again, but I decided to because they advertised a $5 breakfast burrito. Big mistake. I ordered a chorizo breakfast burrito with eggs and potatoes, but honestly, I couldn't tell if I was eating rice or potatoes. The potatoes were overly mushy, the eggs were watery, and the combination was just bad. On top of that, the burrito wasn't even hot -- it was practically refrigerator temperature. At this point, I should've just gone to the nearby McDonald's and stuck with a sausage McMuffin. At least they're consistent with serving hot, fresh breakfast sandwiches. This was about the fifth time I've given this place a chance, and unfortunately, I won't be going back. The food was so horrible it's not pic worthy. read more

Ordered to-go order. Packaging was sufficient and food was warm, but that was the only positive aspect. The food is terrible. The queso dip is not real cheese dip, having consistency of mixing packet of dry cheese with water and flour. That kind of crappy cheese dip at a restaurant called "Mesquite Fresh Street Mex?" Lol The rice and beans were the most basic rice and beans I've ever had, along with the barbacoa quesadilla. Can't believe I spent $50 on this dinner and could only eat a few bites; it's THAT bad, sadly :( read more

Drive thru for lunch! Ordered the chicken bowl with half rice and spring mix. Did not get chicken at all... :( just veggies and rice with TONS of onions... I even paid extra to not have beans in my bowl. This plus chips and bland salsa for $17 was not worth it The green salsa was my favorite. I didn't like the other one. read more

Inconsistent experiences. One day, the killer chicken burrito with everything is excellent. Plenty of chicken and rice correct amount of beans and pico, pickled onions. Other days, it's mostly beans, and barely chicken, and no pickled onions. I don't understand the huge variation from week to week on the same item. Yesterday was my last visit. I was running late from work and ordered four chicken burritos for my family instead of cooking. Each burrito was made differently: some overloaded with beans, skimpy rice, and hardly any chicken with no picked onions. Very inconsistent product. On top of that, it cost $54.11, plus an $8 suggested tip--$62 total for four chicken burritos is not happening again for us. read more

They recently mailed out a generous coupon for a buy one get one burrito, but applied it to the cheapest purchased item.their staff said their system automatically chooses the cheapest item and they couldn't do anything about it. read more

I really wanted to like this place because it's a mile from my house and I love Mexican food. I gave it two tries when it first opened and had both burritos and tacos. Was disappointed in the meats- tough, gristle, and flavorless. Figured it may have gotten better in the last year since I went there but no, same issue last week. Plus there's minimal other flavors or options to cover up the tasteless chicken and beef. They do make the food quickly after ordering and have a drive thru and walk up window options, but unfortunately I cannot recommend this place. Hopefully other people are having better experiences. read more

The food is great here and very well priced! I loved the chicken, beans and rice beans we.

I ordered a mix of chicken and steak tacos. Honestly, I didn't think they were bad at all! It's a basic street taco with all the fixings. I really liked the chicken as it had more flavor on the meat, but all in all, it's good. The mango drink was good as well. Not very sweet, but I like it that way. read more

Good customer service. We really enjoyed the salsas. I would get the carne asada tacos again. read more

Mesquite Fresh Street Mex - Outside - Mexican Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

It was a surprisingly nice addition to my day. A coworker brought food, as a way into my heart. Knowing that I lean more veg much of the time she grabbed me an egg breakfast burrito. She also grabbed a steak breakfast burrito. These things are massive. Her and I shared the egg and she sent me home with the steak to feed hungry Child"man" (my teenage son). They wrap them up like an OG who knows you may be eating it later, it truly prevented what otherwise would have been a sad and soggy leftover burrito. I was blessed with halves of each. Admittedly, as a person who prefers the veg over the meats, the steak was a but tough for my liking, but that isn't saying much at all. It reheated remarkably well thanks to the OG who packed it up. I would not be angry if I started a day per week with an egg breakfast burrito from this place... or rather, half for breakie and half for lunch. The red salsa is pretty spicy, whereas the green seemed to have very little spice at all. It's one of those situations where the green has the flavor I'm looking for and the red is more in line with my spice preference. What does one do in such a situation? Well, use both, of course. I was unaware of this place and if I happen to pass by one while looking for a bite, I may just stop in. I won't be heading out of my way by any means, but all in all, both halves curbed my hunger. A pic of a steak breakfast burrito half, because it is all that remains. read more

The meats and tortillas are excellent. The fajita veggies are great and I love the pickled onions - I get them on everything. The barbacoa on flour is my fav. The salsas are OK, but I prefer something a little chunkier. The rice and beans are the best I have found at a quick service restaurant. The service is always fast, friendly and accurate. read more

First time trying this Mesquite location. Drive through only, and they have a window if you're on foot. The staff was pretty friendly. I ordered a few different types of tacos and a cheese quesadilla. I thought everything was decent. My favorite was the Carne Asada tacos. I would come back. read more

I didn't realize that this was set up like Chipotle. The employees here are really nice! The place is clean. It's hard to realize that it's in this location though as it's changed businesses often. The mild sauce was spicy! The meat used is very good. It's a good fast food place to stop for lunch/din din for sure! Customer service, cleaning and the meat, is why I give it 5 stars. read more

Went here for their breakfast burrito with chicken. It is the best and has the extra protein I'm looking for. If you like spice, ask for their hot sauce! read more

Best bean & cheese burrito with onions added. Quick and friendly service. Weather is perfect today to enjoy eating outside.

Let me paint a picture for you all: I am laying in my bed when all of a sudden my boyfriend starts yelling my name. He comes in with the most disgusted look on his face. To my surprise and UTTER disgust he proceeds to tell me that he was eating his burrito and when he went to take another bite, he lifted his head and saw the LONGEST black hair going from his mouth STILL ATTACHED to his burrito. I don't know if hair nets just cease to exist in 2025 but I nearly puked at just the thought of him having such a mortifying experience. We will literally never come back here again. Yelp needs an update to make it so we can give places 0 stars. read more

Mesquite Fresh Street Mex - Chicken bowl: rice, beans, cabbage, pico, Limes, guacamole sauce, red salsa. - Mexican Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Wife drove through on her way home from work, at my request. Brought home 2 "steak" street tacos, with rice and beans, and a chicken taco for herself. First time trying this place. Unfortunately, we see no reason to return, and we're still searching for some good drive thru tacos. Steak was ok, but a bit tough and chewy. Refried beans were some of the worst I've ever had. Tasted like they may have been reconstituted from a package. Rice was below average. Tasteless and meager portion. Wife said her chicken was dry and stringy. Best part... the salsa was pretty tasty. This place is convenient for us, so we're disappointed that it's not a keeper. read more

So beyond frustrated. The girl was so distracted taking orders. Ordered the chorizo breakfast burrito no egg. Red salsa. Got to the window. What salsa? Red. She does something, comes back, what salsa? Still red. I got home to discover only green salsa in my bag. AND egg in my burrito, which I can't eat. Money wasted. read more

I was so excited to try this place out, I got a steak bowl and it was disappointing. The portions were really small and the rice was really greasy with not a lot of flavor. I will say the staff was very friendly though. read more

The chicken in my burrito was drier than grandmas turkey on Thanksgiving. This place is a 1 and done for me. Eat at your own risk!

Not sure what the one star reviews are about-- food is phenomenal. Beans are AMAZING and authentic. Got a chicken and steak taco-- again very authentic with so much flavor. Exceeded expectations for a drive thru mexican chain. I've gotten two weeks in a row because it's that good! read more

I have been pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. Their breakfast burritos remind me of the ones I used to get in college in San Diego. They are hearty and filling. Their tacos are also good. I have not had their burritos but each time I go, I am pleasantly surprised. Each staff member I have had the opportunity to talk with has been very pleasant. I highly recommend this place. They have done great fund raisers for our school. I'm impressed that they allowed an all day window. That is rare and I appreciate their support to their community. read more

I've never been here, decided to try it because it close to where I was working today. This place is like a better Chipotle. They got the bombest lemonade on the planet you can't leave without grabbing a cup. Nice people working here as well, dude was cool taking my order. Clean Restaurant inside including the bathrooms. Overall this place deserves 5 stars and I hope they keep the quality up! read more

This location was by our home and decided to try since we saw the sign for $5 breakfast burritos. Walked up to order and saw this sign with the smaller print saying 99c charge for protein. So hubby and I order 2 breakfast chorizo burritos thinking it would be 5.99 but the lady said it was 7.99. Mentioned the sign and she tried to say it was because of the time but it was only 1040 am. The sign said served till 11 am. I told her they should take that sign down then because deceiving to customers. Needless to say we won't be returning here or any location if a business won't honor what it advertises. read more

I gave the place two stars only to appease my wife. 1-no indoor seating which will be fine in the non-summer months but now--no thanks even with massive misters that create humidity in the summer and thus create 80s hair in the ladies.... 2-the kid who took our order was nice and very helpful 3-my wife's chicken had two bones in it... 4-the food was bland whether a steak burrito (too much other stuff inside which obscures what is supposed to be their signature [mesquite] flavoring) or their chicken tacos which my wife said were "okay" which in wife-speak means "let's not go there again as I can get better flavor somewhere else" 5-my wife also literally said and I agree "let's not go there again as I can get better flavor somewhere else" 6-we tried it, now we know not to go read more

Overpriced and flavorless food. Both the chicken and steak street tacos had grisly meat and only one corn tortilla The Rice and Beans "add" was a very small portion for the extra cost. Might try the breakfast burrito??? read more

Opened up by my house and I figured I'd try it today, staff was very friendly but the food was awful, beans are bland, rice was meh, all 4 tacos I got (2 chicken and 2 steak) had grisly meat and unchewable cartilage throughout, literally have a pile of it next to my plate and I will not be returning, should have stuck with my go to spot maskadores. Way better quality food and less cost. read more

READ this review it could save your tastebuds and your hard earned cash!Yelp you need a zero star option. Mesquite Fresh isn't worthy of 1star Steak breakfast burrito was terrible. Like all other reviews here the steak is chewy and flavorless. They must work hard to remove any hint of steak from their steak tacos. To add insult to this terrible incident I was ripped off!! Going through the drive thru I ordered one burrito.... $6.53. Handed the cashier a $20 bill. Drove off next door to Black Rock Coffee (BTW good coffee and honest) noticed I had the wrong change. I tried calling their phone number to immediately tell them of their error... no one picked up. So I immediately drove back to the drive thru line.... Literally 5 minutes later. Same girl opened the drive thru window. I told her of the error very kindly...she immediately says no I gave her a $10 bill and gives me this blank stare. Look I had 1 $10 & 1 $ 20 bill I know what I gave her. What a terrible experience all the way around. I hope that my $10 bucks went to good like buying her baby formula or something but.... It's not worth the bad karma in my opinion. read more

Chicken and steak tacos were great, and staff was very friendly. 10/10 would recommend!

2.5 stars. Service was good, food looked nice, price was alright. If you like really spicy salsa, extra salty chicken and/or tough steak this place is for you. I will say the beans were really good and the rice had a nice flavor but seemed a little too fake colored. It was worth trying, but likely won't be going back, unless I'm in the mood for some yummy homemade refried beans. Oh, and sitting outside to eat hearing everyone vacuum and spray out their cars was not the most romantic environment. read more

Wanted to try a burrito because tacos are too hard to eat in the car (and there is no indoor seating). Was given a tortilla with plenty of chicken inside but what's this, everything else listed as an ingredient was in small containers "on the side". No fork, spoon or knife to make my own burrito and no napkins. Well, guess I'll go home and make my own out of all these ingredients. read more
