    Carne asada fries.
    Tina E.

    Food was very bland .we ordered the Carne asada nachos They had no flavor and the cheese wasn't melted at all...Pico wasn't fresh .

    nuggets of carne asada kept falling out when I put the burrito down.  There was that much in it.

    Francisco's Mexican Food 20800 N John Wayne Pkwy Ste 115, Maricopa AZ 85139 August 27, 2021 Friday- 5:30 PM for dinner 1 Adult Atmosphere - 4 stars Food - 4.5 stars Service - 4 stars Background - Craving a burrito all week.  I was planning to drive to PHX but with COVID-19 Delta ragging I went with a local place so I could grab and go. Atmosphere - Maricopa and John Wayne Pkwy is filled with a ton of strip malls, and this one is tucked behind a chain Chinese fast food place which hides them.  It also can make it difficult to navigate around in the parking lot.  The inside is pretty plain, nothing special.  I understand Mexican restaurants are a dime a dozen here, but this place was a ghost town.  Someone else did walk in after I finished up with the cashier to pick up her food as well. Dinner - I read several articles on burrito in the Phoenix area, and learned about the Arizona Burrito.  Goggle defines indicates the burrito that is filled with carne asada, pico de gallo, potatoes and cheese.  I love carne asada, so this was a no brainer for me.  Potatoes is a filler item to me.  The potatoes where cubed as if home fries, which made feel I was eating a breakfast burrito.  Do not worry about that.  There is so much meat you will forget about everything else.  The burrito was warmed up on the flat top a little too much and thus the half star deduction.  This was a monster burrito if you could not tell from price of $8. Service - I called my order in.  The gentleman that answer I could tell English was not his primary language.  Which is fine, I can only speak one language.  So I place the order for the burrito but no name or phone number was asked.  I arrived and I told the cashier what I called it and she went to find it.  I had a minute wait which was not bad.  For I all know they could have been warming it up.  The burrito was still very hot when I unwrapped the paper from the burrito. Future - My second time getting a burrito here, I can see this place becoming a regular spot me.

    Try both salsas! My favorite was red sauce.

    I am pleasantly surprised at the quality and quantity of such a delicious breakfast burrito. It was easy to order, the place looks very busy but at the same time, it's foot traffic did not compromise its cleanliness. The first bite I took of the burrito was reallly good. I want to say that it took me back to my youth! Keep making great tasting food!

    Is this even a burrito, my wisdom teeth has more filling than this.

    If you want to find a hidden gem for some awesome Mexican food while in Maricopa AZ, you have to…read morecheck this place out. It is a traditional Mexican bodega and meat market better known as a carniceria. Everyone there is so friendly and they have all of your hard to find Mexican brand goods. The best thing is that they have a full kitchen that serves everything from tacos, burritos, nachos and even menudo on certain days. Fresh hand made tortillas that you can purchase and take home to cook when needed as well. My go to there is the mixta burrito which is a mix of pastor (pork) and carne asada. The burrito is huge and also has beans and rice inside combined with cilantro and onions. Their fresh homemade salsas are to die for! Grab an ice cold refresco from the fridge to wash it down (soda pop for all the gringos).

But that's okay because I wouldn't want us to even think about eating more of it than we did. These people clearly don't know the meaning of the word "crisp." And I don't know how you cook meat to kill it that completely. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll kiss $30 bucks goodbye. Just wrote this in hopes that someone else will read it and be spared that experience.

But this place seriously nails it. Even the rice has lil corn pieces and so you might think it's "weird" but it's INCREDIBLE. Best flavors ever. The Camarón (shrimp) is super juicy and moist and seasoned with garlic and everything. I haven't had Mexican food this good In so long. I have been here for 19 years and going to this location since it opened in Maricopa. And every time I order something new I have an even better meal than the one before. Big portions, fast service. 7.8/10 chips and salsa. I wish they had a chunky salsa with it. The shrimp fajitas made my ancestors very pleased. I was in heaven. It's a beautiful family restaurant and there is live music at 4pm on Mother's Day. All day happy hour for Mother's Day. 2pm-6pm is the daily happy hour Margaritas are $4.75 or something like that. Amazing deal.

No one was at the counter when we arrived so we waited to be seated. The young woman who seated us was pleasant. Our waiter arrived 3-5 minutes with chips and salsa, I requested salsa verde which took 5 minutes and had to be asked for again. The waiter returned 5-7later took our order and returned 5 minutes later with our drinks. Then the white family of five arrived and were seated in the booth behind us. Immediately our waiter was there taking their drink order. The bus boy hurriedly brought them chips and salsa. Within 3 minutes their orders were taken and given to the kitchen. My friend and I began to worry what was the hold up with our order, our waiter rushed by with a drink order lower his head to avoid eye contact or any acknowledgment. Guess what happened next the white family received their order I told my friend I am out! No way was this acceptable. As we were leaving the greeter thank us for coming stop mid sentence when she realized we were never served. My friend ask to speak with the manager , the manager was our waiter. I am not sure why we were treated so poorly, we are quiet and respectful. We patiently waited for our order. The manager decided that we need to wait til he served the white family that arrived after us first, I feel like this money is green and the color of your skin should not be a factor. If you don't want certain ethnicity to come to your restaurant then you should relocate to a place that does not have a diverse population. In closing I would say if you don't mind being treated like shit go to Plaza Bonita! Disrespect is served in abundance!

    Where do I start! Disappointment is an understatement! We definitely were not welcomed! No…read moreexaggeration included! For starters, the seat yourself arrangement is the most uncomfortable arrangement in the city. You stand at the front door with other hungry patrons literally hovering over already occupied tables trying not to stare while patiently waiting for them to finish. This is unavoidable since there's nothing else to look at while waiting. Uncomfortable for those eating and those waiting. Lol, The hungry will always win the staring contest. Gives off the vibes of being rushed or rushing those seated. Get a number system or incorporate some other form of notifying waiting guest that can comfortably wait "outside" considering the minimal amount of space. Once a table came available we begin seating our kids when the grumpy busboy says " I usually don't let people sit while I'm wiping the table". Which we completely understood and apologized but felt the need to quickly make our way to an open table before the other surrounding groups did since theres no way to tell who arrived first. Granted, we watched him clean the table once but decided to make a second pass. Not too big of a deal but there's more. Once seated with drinks we watched the group(s) behind us finally get seated and thats when the hospitality true feeling of our presence began to show. After finishing a cup of coffee we watched the family ahead of us get there plates, start smacking on the country fried steak, licking the gravey running down the side of their arms and an abundance of refills of coffee for every table except ours. We are now 45 min in watching this atrocity take place next to us while our stomachs touch our backs. At this point we're debating on paying for the drinks and leaving. From the time we received our drinks, the family ahead of us were not only served but finished eating and now chatting it up. We're pretty patient people and understand that eating out during peak hours will take time, but with that being said, taking time doesn't mean that the group in front of you can be fed and finish along with the groups 10 min behind you placing order, getting refilled coffee AND receiving their plates before our second cup of coffee let alone a plate or apology for the delay is cool. Nope, 1 hr + in and we just kept getting ignored. Made eye contact with the gentleman taking orders with the mobile register and the heavy set waitress skipping out on the coffee refills and both quickly looked away. It wasn't until the grumpy busboy saw us and asked if we needed anything. At that point I thought he was being sarcastic but he actually slightly redeemed himself by taking care of the 2nd cup of coffee. We took two sips and decided enough was enough. I made my way to the register to let the busboy (hate calling him that but I didn't get a name) know that we will just pay for our drinks and exit stage left. He apologized and told me not to worry about the drinks and we left. In short (sarcasm here) Thank you Headquarters for providing a teachable moment for my kids and shout out to Deny's for unknowingly recovering this fumble. SMH! I'll just continue to keep passing by this place without hesitation. Never thought I'd say this about any establishment because we all have bad days but I would give a zero if I could. Unfortunate for sure because it smelled really good, it was the service that stunk!
