Counter people need to know what they are serving. Three different people were clueless when I popped the "white chicken " question. Finally, they said it was white meat, but a chicken burrito at this place only contains chicken in a tortilla for 4 bucks. Nothing else is inside - that is not a burrito in my mind. I ended up with the egg, onion and potato breakfast burro, which was small, but pretty good. Everything was well cooked and it wasn't as huge as some other places breakfast burros. The hot sauce was watery and had no taste, but the mild was better with more flavor and still a small bite. Chips are not included to-go. This is some sort of americanized mexican food despite what they tell you on website. Might be back for breakfast again, which is great that is served all day. read more

Ok, but not as good as San Tan Marketplace one. I had the "poncho villa" and it's basically a red chili burro. Was a little to bitter for me, but wife loved it. Next time I'll stick with tacos & enchiladas. read more

Someburros - Mexican Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

See all

Anytime I travel out of AZ for work, my husband knows to have a Three Way burro ordered and ready to be picked up on our way back home from the airport. It is my comfort food, for sure. My company also uses them for catering and their platters are pretty awesome if you're looking for that sort of thing. They always send plenty of chips and salsa too. We've never had an issue with them failing to arrive on time or failing to provide what was ordered. This location is great and accessible right off Mill Ave and Baseline. I have only dined in a couple of times, the rest of my experiences have been with phone/web orders and the pick up window. Ordering online is SO easy! I love it when I don't have to call a place and deal with background noise when placing my order. The restaurant is clean and all the staff have been very friendly. The drive through staff is amazing. They always double check the order to make sure you're getting what you ordered and are sure to include extra hot sauce. I LOVE their chips and hot sauce. Another reviewer said it is ketchup based. WHAT? No. Honey. Just no. The salsa is your usual watery pico de gallo type salsa, whereas the hot sauce is all ground chilis, tomato and garlic yumminess. I will eat it until my tongue is trying to escape the inferno of my mouth and my nose is running. It's that good. My favorites are the Three Way Burro enchilada style with green sauce, or Three Way Chimichanga, if I feel like blowing my calorie allowance for the next three days. I've also had the Rod Burro which was good, the pollo fundido, and their tacos. Tacos are pretty basic, nothing special, standard tacos. Get the shredded beef, they are tasty if they are hot. Their rice and beans are also good, but it is hard to mess that up. Give them a try, for the price, the ease, and the convenience, your money is better spent here than at Fili-Bs, Taco Bell, or any of the other Berto's chains. read more

Been to this location a handful of times and never had any problems. Good quality Mexican food. As other reviewers have said, it's technically a chain but the flavor is home-cooked inspired and gets close enough to it for me that is satisfies my cravings when I'm not feeling adventurous enough to travel an extra 20 minutes to try out another mom & pop place. Inside seating might get a little packed during the hot season, but the outdoor seating is great this time of year. read more

Being a native Phoenician, I have a junkie like addiction to mexican food. I find Someburros to be quite satisfying. It is not a _bertos clone, so don't go expecting carne asada like you're used to. It has a more authentic menu, that isn't all that authentic, but more so than _bertos. The Pollo Fundido is indeed delectable and decadent. The three way burro is scrumptious and may I suggest a cheese crisp with green chiles, which is my personal fav. It's a bit more pricey than _bertos, but well worth it. Call in your order and they have a pick up window. You can't beat convenience. read more

I had ordered some party trays for an event on Saturday. i accidently put in Sunday instead of Saturday and, understandably, found the order not ready when we went to pick it up. The manager and staff at this store (Gilbert and Chandler heights) quickly got to work getting the order ready and we were able to pick it up within the hour. food was fabulous as always, but the above and beyond effort by the staff set this experience apart. Thank you so much for allowing my event to be a success! read more

Decent stop for a quick lunch. The food is pretty much just your ordinary run of the mill quick-stop Mexican food. Not meaning that it is bad food, because it's good. But it's nothing special. I really like the chips. I dip them in the beans because as some other reviewers stated, the salsa is boring. But if you're looking for a decent quick Mexican lunch, stop on in this place. read more

I have been eating here since my jobless just moved out here from CA and don't want to go to college just yet days. The quality of the food has remained consistent throughout the years. I have had everything on the menu at least twice. The chips are always fresh, the salsa is spicy but not to bad, the burritos are great (even the red sauce ones, and I don't like red sauce), the staff is always polite. They open at 10:30 AM, so, its a little difficult to say its "breakfast" food, but yeah, I guess I could eat this for breakfast. They do have a "drive up" window - but its for phone orders only! read more

I was there today and tried the pollo fundido that has gotten such good reviews. And it was bad. Really, really bad. Too salty, not enough sauce and already limp and wet by the time I got it, and I ordered it there!! $10 and I feel like I just ordered a salt lick. And also, what is up with the "salsa"? I think they are stealing packets from taco bell. Will I be back? Hell no. That food was just nasty. read more

I really like their shredded beef tacos and machaca. Although, I keep forgetting to tell them "No papas en mi Machaca por favor! Reasonably priced and each location I have visited (3 so far) has been doing great business! I am a fan. read more

It's the hot sauce. I never drown any food in a sauce, juice, gravy, or condiment but I will drink Someburro's hot sauce all by itself. 1995 may have been the first time I visited here and the hot sauce has always been mild-medium in heat but packs a ton of chili-ness flavor and seasonings. So everything on the menu is just a delivery source. Some better than others. The tacos are fried in what I call an 'upgraded' preformed shell. Much better than anything store bought and from any typical Mexican Fast Food joint. The tasty, well-seasoned shredded beef is fried along with the shell and there isn't an overwhelming amount of lettuce and tomato. There could be more cheese however. The somewhat-bland chicken version comes almost minced like the crab meat in a sushi roll. The burros are above medium sized (although I haven't had the Pollo Fundido, those are big) and aren't double-folded. The red chili has very tender beef cubes and lots of flavor but almost mild in heat. The shredded beef is very good just as they are in the tacos. The carne asada burro has beans and potato in it - not my favorite version. There's free drink refills and complimentary chips that are somewhere between really good restaurant-style chips and store bought. The outside seating is great when it's cooler out otherwise the concrete chairs can be used to re-heat your food. Don't feed the birds. The drive-thru is for call-in orders only. Seating inside is a little cramped. Tell the friendly folks at the front counter if you're in a group - they'll keep all of the orders in one number and bring it all out at once. read more

Ordered 2 red/green burros. the 2 of us agreed: worthless due to no visible red or green chili, it had big chunks of beef and beans and reminded us of what was in a can of Dinty Moores beef stew minus the veggies. It also had no taste of chili whatsoever. AND we made the mistake of ordering fries. About 10 big fries for 2.50... absolutely ridiculous. The stuff tasted like some people who have never been to Mexico decided to cook Mexican food. read more

We have been eating here for over 20 years. This is a order at the counter kind of place and the food is quite good. The veggie burro is a favorite for several in our family, and of course the cinnamon crispies disappear off the table very quickly. The wait staff is always friendly, and the whole place has a family atmosphere, and people who eat here are just friendly. Mary Sanchez helps with the tables and cleans up and always makes you smile she is so enthusiastic. I see others complaining in these reviews that it is a gringo place, but the cooks are not, most of the wait staff are not and and most times at least half of the customers are not. We have several Mexican food places we like, and Mexican food is a little like love, it's in the eye of the beholder. This is just good family food, nothing fancy. read more

I stopped in here for the first time today and the two stars is simply because the chicken burro was good and good sized. The tortilla was good too. The customer service sucked. Gracie took my order and basically just stood there and looked at me instead of being friendly or helping me out. I ordered my food and then after some silence she mumbled at me that it doesn't come with anything in the burrito. Okay. That's fine. But she didn't go out of her way to tell me my options or anything of the sort. She mumbled my total at me, tossed the soda cup over onto my tray, and walked away. I filled up my soda and stood there waiting for my food because it's an extremely nice day outside and inside was a little cold for my taste. I stood waiting for my burrito while the 4 or 5 girls working there stood there talking to eachother about clubbing. My burrito was ready and sitting on the food warmer (when I'm the only customer, I would think it would be easy to take care of the only order if there are 6 employees). One that was on her way out because she was off was kind enough to respond to my request to hand me my food. The other employees heard me tell her that I didn't see any point in waiting for my food while they stood there talking. The birds outside are ballsy and will even fly onto your table while you're eating. Fairly alarming but also entertaining to watch. Food: decent Customer service: beyond horrible Birds: ruthless read more

Yes, Julia T's review may be boring. But, it didn't stop me from heading over to someburros. Good thing! She was spot on! Nothing more I can say above what J said... Take a look at her review! read more

I ate at Somburros for dinner around 8:30 or 9:00pm. The place was not too busy. It was clean and brightly lit. I was greeted by a nice young lady behind the counter who too my order. I had the #1 combo a chicken taco, cheese enchilada, with rice and beans. With a medium soda the check came to just under $9. A small tray of tasty chips was included. Not cheap. Mexican food in Tempe has to be great just to stay in business. There is so much competition. So my two stars would probably be three in another town, like French Lick Indiana. It's a real town without many Mexican food places. The taco was just ok. A little on the small side. The corn tortilla was fried in old oil which gave it a burnt stale taste. The chicken was tasty, and the lettuce was crisp. There was a little cheese in there too. It tasted cheesy. The enchilada sauce had a burnt taste and was dark brown. I'm not an enchilada expert but I've had better. This cheese enchilada was flat and I could not taste any onions. The rice and beans were average. On the bright side the food was hot. I didn't find Someburros to be a very good value. I have had much better tacos and enchiladas at full service restaurants for less money. I'm going to keep looking for some great tacos. read more

Someburros may be my favorite Mexican place in Tempe. The enchilada I had was very good and the refried beans excellent. The shredded chicken and shredded beef in tacos were very good as well. My reason for really, really recommending Someburros is the honesty of the staff. After finishing our lunch and trying to manage busing the table and assisting my 91-year-old mother I left my New 32 gig iPad on our table. After realizing my mistake fifteen minutes later and returning to the restaurant a staff person smilingly assured me he had it. So I had a very tasty lunch and my faith in the kindness and honesty in people restored at the same time. Thank You Someburros! You are a great organization. read more

Not all burritos are created equal, but Someburritos is just "plain" nasty. I thought the idea behind the burrito was more than just meet in a tortilla, which makes this a literally PLAIN burrito. if i wanted a large taco, i would have ordered a large taco. the taste was bland at best, their hot sauce is more of a tomato sauce than anything else. I probably should have read some reviews before ordering. Everything including salsa costs extra... I literally walked out without eating. Service was what you would expect from a burrito joint, nothing stellar. read more

TWO BIG THUMBS DOWN! I do not know if it is just me but arizona does not have good mexican food. Someburros should not even be classified as mexican food to be honest. maybe its because i'm from California, and we got all the good mexicans. a burrito here consist of beef or chicken wrapped in a tortilla! with nothing else! no way hombre! and they don't even have carne asada, its ground beef. luckily i was there on the right evening where they had a chimichanga for $5 that came with a little more than just meet. and the only reason i ate it was because i was starving and then it was still only "ok". recommendation- keep driving till you see taco bell read more

This time I came back with my father and sister. I can not remember what they got. I remember I got the green chili again. That stuff is super good. If you are in the area I recommend you try this place. I will be back for some green chili. I tried a sample of their red chili but prefer the green. read more

Foods okay.. service is really crappy though.:) Especially from the younger teen employees. Always have an attitude and roll their eyes after customers walk away. Just rude. Their job can't be that hard but oh well. Edit- 2 min into food and already 3 short brown hairs in my food :( gross read more

I expected more due to the glowing reviews here on Yelp I got the Pollo Fundido It wasn't bad, but certainly wasn't the best Pollo Fundido ever. I thought the salsa was good, but a little too thin. I would have liked to have a chunkier option as well. The ambiance was flourescent and a bit cheesy. I dunno, I just thought that I'd really be wowed by the food, and I'm a bit disappointed. Oh well :( read more

I got a bean burrito, add rice and add cheese. There were maybe 12 grains of rice, and very little cheese to be found. It was an incredibly average bean burrito. The salsa they gave me tasted like spicy marinara. The only reason I'm giving this as many as 3 stars is because of the strawberry guava lemonade- THAT was out of this world. The girls working the register were kind as well. read more

Normally very good food, yet today's Macha Burrito was not good. The meat was soggy and really had no taste. I will return to this location, cause I do like the food and quick service, yet will never order that burrito again. read more

Two words: Pollo Fundido. Wear your fat jeans or sweats and go eat one. Then go home and take a shower, unless you like to smell of grease.. Love this place. Never disappoints. . If the line is long, call the take out line and order while you wait. Your food will probably be ready by the time you get to the counter.. read more

It's been several years since I'd stop by SomeBurros and I am glad to say that the food is still tpo quality. My wife had the tostada verde and she really really liked it. I chose the pollo fundido which has chicken wrapped in a tortilla deep fried and topped with a green cheese sauce topped with green onions. The only thing that seems a real drawback is they should offer a fly swatter with each order. Unfortunately that seems to be a problem in a lot of the restaurants in these Phoenix area. It is so hot outside and with doors opening and closing the flies are looking for a cool place to go just like all of us. The quality of the food more than makes up for having to shoo away a few flies. read more

When you go to Taco Tuesday expecting good tacos that they advertise on 2-22-22.. only to get McDonald's tacos... nothing like they advertise. Very disappointed read more

Ordered a shredded beef and bean burrito smothered with green Chile to go Received a bean burrito without any green chili. Extremely disappointed with the meal!! read more

Horchaita was good as well as the free chips. Fish tacos were decent but it's still fast food.

The place is really nice and clean. There is not many people at around 4pm on a Wednesday and it's happy hour! I got an order of nachos that were different from what I expected, but surprisingly good. If you don't want to fill yourself of chips, this is a great vegetarian option. I will definitely come back here to try other things. read more

Someburros - Nachos!!! Differently tasty - Mexican Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

We love someburros and have enjoyed it for years!!! Live in Peoria now and would hope that they would extend to our area, PLEASE!!! The west valley is in need of good food. read more

This is the second time I have tried this place because I wanted to see if anything had changed from a year ago. It is still as horrible as ever. My boyfriend got a burrito, which consisted only of the meat (nothing else was in the burrito only the meat). I got the mini chimi and they did not come with any sauce on them and had more tortilla than meat in them. Both of the orders had no flavor. I will never go back to eat here again, this is the worst Mexican food place I have been to in the valley. read more

I went here for the first time yesterday with the boyfriend. He grew up going here and loves it. Its a cute little restaurant and PACKED. The staff is very nice and everything is quick and clean. I forget the name of what I got but it was chicken with cream cheese melted over top. It was huge and delicious and we also got a cheese crisp with guac, which you cant really go wrong with that. I also had a horchada which was yummy and the perfect dessert. I'd definitely go here again since they have the more mild Mexican for me and it makes the boyfriend happy. Make sure to text the little thing they have on the flyer since you get a little freeby perk! read more

Love the Pollo Fundido! Portions are enormous! Only reason for not granting 5 stars is that the salsa tastes great but is so liquid you need a straw. read more

Someburros - Breakfast - Mexican Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

So we still think that someburros could use some friendly employees. However, we have never been unhappy with their food after this first visit. My husband LOVES their hot sauce and frequently goes in just to pick up a container. read more

This is another place on my regular lunch rotation. I have been eating at Someburros for years frequenting the locations in Gilbert and by Chandler Mall as well as this location in Tempe. This is deli style. You go to the counter and order, they give you a number, and then bring the food to your table. The restaurant is always clean and well staffed. This location, though, is a little smaller than the Gilbert or Chandler Mall restaurants. The food at Someburros is on par with any good Mexican restaurant in the Valley, but it is fast and inexpensive. Most adult meals with drink will cost about $8. Kids cost 1/2 that. I usually get one of the burritos. Lately the Crudo Burro is my favorite. It is shredded beef with SPICY tomatillo sauce. Do not order this unless you can handle spicy food. I also like the Rod Burro and the Poncho Villa. I really like the rice, as well. Someburros also has large party platters. A number of times we have purchased party platters for a gathering at our house. Our guests always devour the food and rave about it. It is a relatively inexpensive way to cater a party. Someburros is a great place for lunch and a relatively inexpensive way to feed the family. If you have not tried it, definitely check it out. read more

Since I work right around the corner from this Tempe restaurant, this is a go to place for weekday lunch. But you better get there early, because the small restaurant fills up fast. Good, fresh and tasty Mexican food. I usually get the chicken/avocado salad and then add a lot of the red chili sauce. You have your choice of dressing too, and I go with the jalapeno ranch. They have a drive through for take out, but you have to call ahead. read more
