Chino Bandido
Look people, when I tell you what kinda food this is, you're not gonna believe me that it’s the food equivalent of an Arnold Palmer. We all know how good those two things are together.
To give you a little background of why we even went there was because we watch this show, Diners, Drive-ins and Dives and my wife LOVES the off the beaten path type places to eat. She saw it, looked it up, and was like, we have to try it out.
Now, I know by this time you're at the edge of your seat in anticipation for what could possibly get my taste buds doing the chicken noodle soup dance. People, it's CHINESE AND MEXICAN. Together. BOOM! That just happened.
I can not even hope to explain to you how good this food is. I love Mexican food (of course I grew up 1 block from a Filibertos (carne asada w/rice). Man, let me tell you, if you have a chance to go there -- look, they let you try out the stuff. I was sold on the black beans and, yes, they are the musical fruit.
All gas aside, the place goes down on my list as all time best. If I wasn’t on a semi sorta strict diet, I would definitely eat there every day hands down. Here's a link if you live in PHX and haven’t tried it. http://www.chinobandido.com/
I'll say this is more exciting than going to the Grand Canyon and you'll be full when you leave. So check it out. More reviews to come.

jade red chicken is great in a quesadilla, burrito, or just as is. Plus their Machaca is on point, get it in a burrito.

It’s so lucky for me to find your blog! So shocking and great! Just one suggestion: It will be better and easier to follow if your blog can offer rrs subscription service.

My wife and I would like to you and your wife for a special evening at Chino’s after you’re done massacreing the Lakers.
