| - Why 4 stars? Because it was a solid backup plan.
--- --- ---
I have a confession: I did not intend to visit Maskadores. I had it all mapped out - I was going to land, grab my rental car, and head to Little Miss BBQ, which recently was named the #2 restaurant in the U.S. on Yelp.
And then I got to the Little Miss BBQ and they had no parking spots left + an hour and a half wait, which I just couldn't make work. It was a very sad day, but the consolation is that it led me to Maskadores.
Though I was devastated to miss out on this meal I'd looked forward to for weeks, I pulled over into some random parking lot and asked myself, "Self, what are you in the mood for?" And because I was in Arizona after all, I decided to Yelp the best Mexican around. Maskadores had great reviews and was close by, so the decision was made pretty quickly!
The line wasn't super long, but it moved slowly, so I had plenty of time to decide on what I wanted. The wet burrito seemed to be the consensus as the top item to order, so that was my plan. There were two different kinds of wet burritos, so I asked for clarification on what a Bandera Wet Burrito was. It turned out that some of the sauce poured on top of the bandera was really spicy, so I asked for jus the regular wet burrito instead.
Unfortunately, it was hard to hear each other and it seemed that the level of English spoken was minimal, so she thought I asked for a (dry) burrito. I normally would have asked them to re-do it, but I was running late for where I needed to be, so I just let it be.
The burrito was solid, but it also didn't taste a ton different than what I could have gotten from Chipotle. Don't get me wrong, I love Chipotle, but I was hoping for something a bit unique while in a new place.
So that was my Maskadores experience. It hit the spot, but just not quite a home run.
