| - Arriba, Arriba! Let's get this over with. So they are definitely the home of the BIG ass margaritas and nothing more. The two times I ate here have both been a disappointing experience. They get the one star for being open on Christmas though.
So this place is definitely located in the right area. I'm certain the lack of seasoning I.e spice, flavor, is geared towards a few of my Caucasian brothers and sisters who dislike spicy food (no offense). As far as flavor goes, you can see pepper on your rice. The cheese (which is sprinkled on in quantity like a Panda Express employee would do 5 shreds at most) nor the sour cream does justice to such bland offerings.
I ordered the White Sands burrito the first time I came here over 5 years ago and it was so salty, I'm certain I walked away with high blood pressure at a very young age. So this time around I ordered the burrito plate. I had the Machaca meat with the side of blands and rice....pardon beans and rice. With each cut of my burrito, water rushed out. Talk about sustainability, here's where our water is going Arizona. I would've enjoyed it more if the meat were drained and seasoned.
Our waitress was pretty good. I don't know her name though. Anyhow, the restaurant was pretty packed, so packed we sat next to the busiest bathroom ever. With each swing of the door, I could smell that pink colored hand washing soap. Not a minus though, hey it was a full house sit where you could.
In conclusion, I will NEVER come back here. Nothing against the service. It's not you Arriba, it's me not liking the food. Although the chips and salsa were alright.
P.s OMG the mints are amazing!
