| - After only two trips to Mr. Mesquite, it has become my favorite choice for take-out Mexican food. Both the pollo and the carne asada are delicious and tender. The rice and beans are in line with what I expect when ordering Mexican food. Not especially fantastic, but not bad at all!
The salsa bar is a highlight, with both green and red traditional salsa, which are both delicious (and pack some heat!), pico de gallo, cilantro, limes, onions, etc.
I had the burrito with mixed meat (chicken and steak) both trips, and I will say I preferred it the second time, without the pickled onions, but that is completely personal preference. My wife got the protein bowl, which came in a large portion, and was as tasty as it looked (according to her). We got the quesadilla for our daughter, and I got her leftovers (as usual). That's gotta be the best quesadilla leftovers I've had since we moved to Phoenix two years ago.
Being from San Diego, finding a top notch Mexican place was priority one, and after almost two years, we finally struck gold.
Way to go, Mr. Mesquite! You won us over!
