My manager, who highly recommended this place, was thrilled to introduce it to me. It's a popular spot among locals and even featured on Guy Fieri's TV show, "Diner's, Drive-Ins and Dives." The restaurant attracts a steady stream of customers eager to savor its fun and creative Native American dishes. Frye Bread holds a special place in culinary history as the first Native American restaurant in the United States to receive the prestigious James Beard Foundation's "America's Classics" award in 2012. Their signature Fry Bread is incredibly chewy and flavorful. During my visit, I joined my coworkers, manager, and a few friends for lunch. One of the unique features of Frye Bread is its outdoor mini farmers market, where native American vendors sell jewelry, cultural gifts, and all things Native American. It was a great opportunity to immerse myself in the local culture and experience one of the restaurant's beloved dishes. While Frye Bread offers a variety of savory protein options to accompany their Fry Bread, I personally preferred mine simply drizzled with butter and powdered sugar. The combination of flavors was simply irresistible. Frye Bread is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking an authentic and flavorful Native American dining experience. The restaurant's commitment to preserving and showcasing Native American culture, combined with its delectable Fry Bread and batter, makes it a memorable dining experience.

They serve a few different tacos in their delicious, fluffy Fry bread. If you're a saucy girl like me, I recommend ordering one with either the green or red "chili" in your taco. I ordered the Ultimate Taco with red chicken chili with salsa verde on the side. It was large and delicious. I got about halfway through before the warm chicken slathered in a rich red sauce broke through the bottom of the Fry bread. I finished up the rest with fork and knife. The restaurant offers both inside and outside seating. Food is ordered at the counter by a friendly member of the staff who will guide you through the menu if you need help. They do one thing and they do it very, very well. Well worth a visit if you're in Phoenix.

You can customize by adding peppers and avocados but it comes with those yummy crispy onion pieces. The fries are pretty good too - I would give them a 6/10 on the fry scale - they are crispy and not greasy but maybe could be a little bit more crispy. My son and I each ordered our own fry but definitely could have shared them because they are quite large. I also love that they have some pretty decent wine in a can for $10. We dined in and there is not too much ambiance but they do have a tv going -- we sat by the window and did a bit of people watching. This location is inside the uptown plaza and it is so cute and decorated for the holidays. There is not much to say about the service -- our food came out fairly quickly especially during the dinner time so that was positive -- you could see a lot of door dashers in and out picking up to go orders so it was fairly busy -- but not a lot of people eating in the dining area. It is kind of pricey for fast food but it is good and they have a veggie burger so I pay the price.

It wasn't until I brought the food back when I saw the recipient splitting fries and I asked "there's another fry, wait, they didn't forget a fry did they?"... It may seem like no big deal, it's just a small order of french fries but not to the folks who were waiting on the food and not to the one who split theirs... lame. I attempted to call, twice.

Avoid going during the lunch rush!…read more I came for the shredded beef green chili burrito and while it was worth it, the wait was about an hour so just be prepared. That said, the burritos are stiffy solid (literally and figuratively), the asada is always flavorful, and their signature slushies are a must. I haven't tried the shrimp yet, but it's on my list. Can't get away from the green chili personally lol Parking can be hit or miss during peak hours, but the turnover is pretty quick. The staff are super patient, even when it's busy, which makes ordering a lot less stressful. This spot is great whether you're doing pickup, walking in, or hanging out. There's plenty of outdoor seating and the whole vibe feels like a chill beachy burrito shack. I've been coming here for a while and it never disappoints. Just expect the line to keep getting longer because it's that good.

My previous order was a few years ago and I recall it being pretty flavorful. My more recent order was light, crispy and served hot, though it didn't have much flavor. It wasn't bad; just not great. My memory could deceive me, but the portion size seemed slightly smaller. My order was prepared quickly and the employee was nice enough. I do, however, wish they had offered condiments such as lemon wedges which were never offered. I know lemon wedges were available in the past. If they still are, it would have been nice if the employee asked if I wanted any or if they could be requested through the app (which I didn't see). The ambiance is casual and the facility was clean. Be aware late night hours can draw large crowds and parking may be limited.

People treat fast food reviews like police reports, they only come calling when there is an issue…read more So I like to balance that out and provide reviews when fast food delivers! This drive-thru-only location is basically the Formula 1 pit crew of chicken sandwiches. The line can look terrifying, but somehow you still get your food faster than most places take to say "welcome in." The staff is consistently friendly, the food actually looks like the menu pictures (a miracle in fast food), and the whole operation runs with suspicious levels of efficiency. There is a patio if you're feeling adventurous, but this is Phoenix, where sitting outside half the year feels like volunteering to be slow-roasted. Thankfully, this spot is perfect for grabbing lunch on the go or picking up dinner on the way home. Fast, friendly, accurate, and reliable, the fast food equivalent of finding a shopping cart with all four wheels working.

So I'm updating my previous review because... plot twist, we had a situation…read more I originally gave this place 4 stars because overall they've been solid. Fast, efficient, food hits, no major complaints. But after my most recent experience, I'm dropping it to 3. I ordered online, paid ahead, did the whole "I'm a responsible adult" thing. I get there, give my name, pull up, and suddenly I'm told my total like I never paid. Then someone loudly calls out from the back, "OH! it declined." First of all... what? Second of all... inside voices?? Here's the kicker: it did NOT decline. I had the confirmation email, and my bank showed the charge (I didn't know this yet). Instead of verifying, she told me matter-of-factly that it declined, so I handed her the exact same card I used online, and she ran it again. Boom, double charged. And at that point, I'm starving and not about to fight over a fast food order, trusting that staff are doing their due diligence, not just assuming and casually charging a second $30 like it's no big deal in this economy. I had to go back through the drive-thru line (again), wait (again), and deal with it while my food sat getting soggy (not again, unfortunately, just once was enough). To their credit, the refund was issued and it did hit my account. So yes, they fixed it. That matters. But... this shouldn't have happened in the first place. It's a training issue. If an order is confirmed, don't assume it declined. And maybe don't announce someone's "declined card" across the building like it's a group discussion topic. Still a decent location... would be smart to verify before you charge people twice (maybe my expectations are too high?) and I will never order online again because of this, lesson learned first time around on that.

From what I understand, the truck moves around to different locations, so it's worth keeping an eye out for where they'll be next. We ordered three Viva Mexico burgers and one bacon avocado burger, plus fries. The total came out to around $80 for the four of us. It's a little on the high side for burgers and fries, but the quality and portion sizes were definitely solid. The fries were a standout. They're hand cut and cooked in beef tallow, which gives them a rich flavor you don't get from typical fries. My son immediately said they're in his top three fries he's ever had, which says a lot. The burgers were big, messy, and really flavorful, definitely a little greasy, but in the best way. The Viva Mexico burgers had great flavor, and the bacon avocado burger was just as good. Overall, if you like a good, greasy burger and excellent fries, La Hambuguesa is worth trying.

My friends and I arrived about 20 minutes before the truck opened, and there were already a few people standing in line. The line moved pretty quickly, and the total time from ordering and receiving our food was only about 15 minutes. At this time, the line wrapped around the truck. The food came out hot and fresh. Filet-o-fish is one of my favorites of all time, and the filet de fish did not disappoint at all! The first bite had us levitating and seeing stars. The tartare sauce that the fried fish was smothered in was delicious and creamy, and the fish fillet itself was tender and flaky. The toasted and soft Japanese bun was the cherry on top. Simple and comforting and nostalgic, but elevated in the best way. We also tried their popular Viva Mexico, but we felt like it lacked in flavor and only tasted spicy, if that makes sense. Beef tallow fries were okay and not anything special. Great portions, however, it was still pretty expensive for a food truck burger. I'm glad I got to try this place out and will be back if the filet de fish hits the menu again, and would try their Signature next time.

It looks like they want you to use a big kiosk to order, and I started to do that, but didn't see any way to do "easy sauce" on my sandwich so I ended up asking one of the real employees if they could help me, which they did. After ordering, my name was on a screen with approximate wait time for my food. Something like 8 minutes, so... maybe not the fastest food, but at least it's prepared to order. The grilled chicken caesar sandwich I ordered was tasty enough and the strawberry lemonade was nice and tart. While I was waiting for my food, another customer called out to me and loudly made sure I knew the restaurant was offering a free milkshake if I wrote them a 5 star review on Google. It made me question the star rating I'd seen before coming in. In the end, my chicken sandwich was good. Not the best I've ever had, but nothing wrong with it, and good taste. The restaurant was clean and brightly lit. Comfortable atmosphere, and parking was easy. Prices seemed fair to me.
