I've been sitting on this one for awhile. I have to say that I believe that Chino Bandido is a love/hate kind of place. You don't just feel okay about it, ever- you either love it or hate it.
I'm on the naysayer's side. I wasn't impressed, in the least. I thought the chicken was a bit gnarly and for the amount of calories you are consuming, it just isn't worth it.
There are some positives- free samples to ensure that you like what you are ordering, actual spiciness and divey feel.
I realize that this is a Phoenix favorite, but I'm going to have to say, try it once and decide which side of the fence you're on. I'm glad that I'm on the 'hate' side because it isn't anywhere near healthy.
