Well I'm from SoCal and our salsa is betterChico's. There hot salsa is awesome! I'm from New Mexico and know good salsa.
We tried El Paraiso this weekend. I thought it was pretty good as well. The flaming Margaritas are entertaining too.El Paraiso is a from me. Have to give Chico’s a try when we want something fast.
After visiting a few places here in Tucson, I will agree. Everything here has heat, but lacks a LOT in flavor. 90% of the places you order a burrito and its JUST meat inside a tortilla. That's it. If you ask for anything added inside it you would think you were asking for their first born....Well I'm from SoCal and our salsa is better
I'm talking San Diego SoCal not that OC and LA stuff
When I order a carne asada burrito I want meat in it, not 10lbs of beans and rice with 6 little bits of carne.After visiting a few places here in Tucson, I will agree.

Oh no, you are absolutely correct on the other end as well. Ots all about the balance. Too much either way is no beuno.When I order a carne asada burrito I want meat in it, not 10lbs of beans and rice with 6 little bits of carne.

dam dave, grandaughter with us, otherwise sounds lake a date nightMan I read these reviews and it blows my mind..
Dos Amigos sucks.. not only sucks it’s barely edible. Tried that place four times with high hopes and it’s just terrible..
chicos is good but their salsa are blah..
if you don’t mind the drive blondies up by the adult book store is the Mexican food spot in Havasu.
You ever try El Pinto in Bernalillo?Chico's. There hot salsa is awesome! I'm from New Mexico and know good salsa.
What ever “Berto” place it is by the Ashley store. When you buy a chicken burrito you get a tortilla and chicken. Been enjoying that place when I just want a quick drive thru place. The last couple of times I have tried I think the Texas style is with potatoes guacamole and other things.

Same, went to Chico’s over desert storm. Food sucks!! So bland and greasy.I have the complete opposite opinion of those 2 places. I always wish I went somewhere else when I go to Chicos. I have not been to Dos Amigos in the last couple months though.
To me Chicos and 2 Amigos are very similar. Both do not satisfy my palate. Some like it, I do not.I have the complete opposite opinion of those 2 places. I always wish I went somewhere else when I go to Chicos. I have not been to Dos Amigos in the last couple months though.

Yeah been going there for years and they've always been good. Drive another 1/2 mile down the street just east of Norwalk on your left tucked in the coner of that strip mall is Julian's Mexican Food. Some really good stuff but best to.take out as they don't really have a decent dining area.Tacos San Pedro in Hawaiian Gardens is my kryptonite!
I've actually timed flights in or out of ABQ to make sure it is near lunch or dinner time! Good sopapillas (not sure on spelling) too.El Pinto has great Hot Salsa as well as Red&green chili sauce that they sell all over the world.
...it's good stuff.
The street tacos at dos are worth it but otherwise... meh, I'd pass.Maybe it has gone down hill, many places do after the first several months. I had 2 decent lunches there when we were on the way home from a Rzr ride, but again that was awhile ago.
My favorite for lunch is the Carneceria. I don't even bother with any of the 'bertos during the day if I am in the car driving to get a quick lunch.
Those are the best.Out of my wife’s kitchen. No you can’t come over.
I can’t get enough of Las Golindrinas in San Juan Cap. A couple dozen mini burritos is the king of road trip snacks...
Home - Las Golondrinas
Las Golondrinas offers scratch-made Mexican food and tortillas. Order family packs to feed the crew or party packs to feed even more!lasgolondrinas.biz

There is also one in Mission Viejo - good food.
The nice thing about the mini burritos is they only give you the mini shits.
Speaking of Mission Viejo, Flamingos is really good, and was operating straight through the pandemic with indoor dining. They got my business for quite a while. Has some Al Pastor street tacos there last weekend.
Havasu has an adult book store!??? I'd bet that place is a Hoot!Man I read these reviews and it blows my mind..
