For people visiting AZ, this is a must go imo. My relatives visiting from Australia requested it as their last meal on their way out of town.\n\nFirst of all, I'm not a big green chili fan. Second of all, Rito's green chile burro is one of my top 3 bites in all of AZ.\n\nTortillas are amazing (homemade), beans are amazing (I guess I'm still a big fan of lard). Unbelievably, beans seem to get even better when you microwave them from the fridge the next day too.\n\nI love the character of the place. It's run by a mother, her daughters & some other relatives. They do what they do & are who they are & don't really care beyond that. I've heard it compared to the Soup Nazi from the Seinfeld episode. My first visit, I did get that vibe but the ladies have been super sweet many, many times. It is a bit tough to find, they have short hours, they only take cash and as the sign says, do NOT approach the window on your cell phone. \n\nI think at present they quit making tacos because they were too much work & the mom has had some health issues. So basically you get what you get. I say get the green chile burro.\n\nSo they are who they are & do what they do, take it or leave it. I love it.\n\nAs far as the shop, it's basically just a barred window counter you order from, you pick up your food & go outside & eat on picnic-like tables. \n\nThey are open only M-F from 9 - 5ish. Close even a bit earlier on Fridays I think. \n\nThey're on 14th street just south of Roosevelt right across from the school. You'll just see a screen door & that's it. If it's around lunch time, you'll probably see a line as well.\n\nI think the short hours & no evenings, no weekends even add to the obsession for me. Scarcity makes it even more desired.\n\nRight now, I cannot believe how much I'm craving this food.\n\nBTW, the warning about scalding food & soupy burrito are right on. Ended up with a bunch of scalding green chili in my lap my first visit."^^ . "5"^^ . . .
