| - The owners probably should have named this place differently, because although the name implies it might be similar to something like Filiberto's, that wasn't the case at all. The California burrito (a difficult menu item to find in AZ) had the most tender and flavorful meat I've ever had in a fast food Mexican restaurant. In fact, all the ingredients were rock solid--the fries were crispy and freshly prepared, the guac and pico were tasty, and the tortilla was a nice mix of chewy and crispy. The street tacos were also very good--again, probably more in the league of a Baja Fresh than a Filiberto's.
The dining experience itself was well above expectations--the staff were quite friendly and professional, everything was very clean, the furniture and flooring were upgraded beyond what you might expect, and there was a clear investment in technology, such as the menu that spanned four flat screen monitors and had a slideshow displaying high-res photos of various dishes.
I can only hope they put one in Chandler eventually, as it would beat all the local Mexican fast food joints in my neighborhood. I'm feeling a pretty strong 5 on this one.
