It's a good drive through Mexican place that's shaking things up.
Like it may not be my favorite, but I appreciate the variety they bring to all the basic Chipotle stans of Peoria.
You've got two options--the walk-up window outside and the drive through. For your meals, it's essentially a choice of a large tacos or burritos that are T H I C C. They come with chips, salsa, and a drank.
Things I like--I like the idea of their steak burritos. The ingredients and the portions of them are done correctly. You don't feel like they're skimping on the protein. You feel full when you're done, but not the same kind of full that leads you to taking a nap for the next two hours.
Things I don't like--I think they could improve how they season their meat and rice (i.e. seasoning their steak at all). I think the salsa isn't offensive but is watery and playing it too safe. Something that's got a 4 out of 5 on your heat scale shouldn't taste like tomato juice that came into brief contact with a lone pepper.
Things that absolutely make me LOL--They actually marketed tacos are "tapas". It's dumb, but I am kinda happy such a modest place like this did that before some $40-a-plate mediocre tex mex place in Old Town or Downtown beat them to it. If Brushfire did this ironically, I would have given them five stars and just doted on that while barely even touching my food opinions.
In the end, I'm still happy to see new independent Mexican spots open up. I just don't want them to be afraid of flavor and spice. I hope they continue to thrive and improve.
