Los Favoritos

Let me start by explaining that I have a Los Favoritos by my work at Guadalupe and McQueen (Mesa) Dr, which is fabulous and my coworkers and I go there frequently, so i figured I would try this one, which is slightly closer to my home. The fact the food was edible and there was extra lettuce and my beans and rice were warm is the only reason it got 2 stars. I ordered the 2 cheese enchilada combo. .. it is so simply yet they screwed it up, how you ask? The cheese was not even melted –_​– and with it being cold, the sauce everything else was cold as well. Never going back to this location. It was even super busy there, so there was no excuse as to a cold CHEESE enchilada!

Love hate with this place! Fantastic breakfast burrito! The service is not so great.
It’s busy on weekends so be prepared. It’s right next to a Starbucks so a great place to get your coffee and a killer burrito!
I recommend the bacon egg and cheese.

Consistently dissatisfied with this location. The one is Scottsdale is better in all aspects, food and customer service.

The Mexican food there is ok. Some is kind of pricey for what it is. If you go I would suggest to avoid going during lunch time (noon) because they seem to get overwhelmed with a ton of students from the local high school.
Also I would avoid going the in the mornings, there is this girl always there in the morning and she is just so rude, like she doesn’t want to be there or something. Every time I go I get the same experience from her and see her as she tends to others before me… She’s just rude and abrasive for some reason like she is doing you a favor.
The burritos are ok and reasonable price. My biggest issue is the attitude specially for someone like me who buys several times a week sometimes a day because is the easiest thing for me on my way to work. Anyway, don’t go in the morning specially if is your first time. You’ll get horrible attitude

Awesome carne asada! I love my late night munchies, this one defeated me though. I just couldn’t finish the monster burrito. The red salsa was much more spicy than I thought it would be.

Good food. Bad service.
When you’re dealing with a lunch rush, passing out food that’s piling up on the counter is more important than wiping down drink dispensers or picking up straw wrappers from the utensils counter. Yet that’s what I’ve seen them do. Also, when passing out food, it’s important to pass out the oldest food first, especially when the oldest orders have been sitting for several minutes waiting to go out and people out for lunch are in a hurry. The staff just always seems kind of disinterested in taking orders and distributing food with any kind of urgency whatsoever.

I’d give this a 5 but I think we should all leave room for improvement.
I moved here from CA and was looking for a mom/​pop type place for good Mexican food. I found this on Unilocal and have to say I am really happy with what I’ve had here. First I had a Breakfast Burrito (Chorizo) and then added sour cream. Perfect!
Next time I was in for dinner I tried their Chile Verde burrito. I had them add beans. Wow… really really good! Hit the spot!
I think I found my new «go-​to» favorite!

Sometimes you just need some favs! Not as greasy and other taco places, and pretty consistent. Nice to have late hours, bc we usually crave it late at night.

Food was fine. Nothing spectacular, not bad. The burrito size is a little smaller than Filiberto’s. The store was clean, they are a little chincy with their sauces. There is no salsa bar, you have to ask them for condiments. Overall the experience was lukewarm, nothing to write home about. Quality seemed fresh, prices are around $ 6.50 a burrito after tax. If I were shopping at the Bashas next door, I might stop by, otherwise, not going out of my way to come here. The customer service was okay, but not very friendly.

This is a clean place with good service… But the food is just not great. The breakfast and Carne Asada burritos were not bad, just nothing to write home about. However, their chicken tacos had some sort of dehydrated chicken or something. The wife had a hard time eating it.
I debated giving a third star, but when eating your food is an unpleasant struggle, you get no third star.

Wanted to give this place another try and again they failed me. I ordered a soft flour carne asada taco and got a soft corn taco instead and I actually really hate the soft corn tortillas. I also got chips and guacamole. If you love guacamole and are a snob about it like me don’t get their guacamole. It’s some sort of bland, cheap green stuff. And then they throw raw shredded cheese on it… Ugh. Sorry Someburros, I should have listened to my guy and drove over to you instead. Waste of money. Oooh and that’s another thing! A small drink, a taco and chips and guacamole was $ 12!!! Rip off.

I love their breakfast burritos and the shredded beef tacos. Always delicious and fresh tasting. The prices are very reasonable. I live out of state and I always stop in here when I am visiting. I do recommend calling in your order because they are very popular and you may have a long wait to get your food… it’s worth the wait though!
Warning on the shredded beef tacos:
They are a bit greasy. That can be a plus or minus depending on your personal taste. I think they are PERFECT! If you are one of the low-​fat, heath food only crowd, you probably should not be eating here anyway.

I love the food here and the staff is very friendly! I have tried the conga the green chile, the tacos! All leave you feeling full and satisfied! The flavored are authentic and pure! If you have a chance please visit the Tempe and Chandler locations!

Illustration: My family and I live in Tucson, and my parents only ever go to Phoenix to shop and get banh mi from Lee’s Sandwiches. I forced them to stop at Los Favoritos in the morning, before we had gone shopping or stopped to get banh mi for dinner. My dad and I both ordered burritos while my mom, who resists trying new things, turned up her nose and said she did not want a burrito because she was saving her stomach for banh mi. I told her that was fine but she was absolutely not welcome to have any of my burrito because I knew that what happened next was going to happen: she ate half of my dad’s burrito, and when I still refused to give her half of mine, she got up to order her own. Then she raved about how delicious and cheap it was the entire drive home. Yup.

I would give this place 4 stars for the fact that my burrito seems to increase by $ 1.25 when adding potatoes to it… ridiculous. However, they have THE best chile relleño burrito you’ll ever consume… I’m pretty sure my co-​workers would concur. Also, there’s a guy that works the cash register that provides THE BEST customer experience, period. I can’t believe this guy is working at Los Favs. If you own a local restaurant and happen to read this, you should seriously consider offering this man a job! I literally looked him in the eye as I was leaving and let him know that he has a great attitude. Amazing burritos and superior customer service… kinda weird saying that about a fast food burrito shop: P keep up the stellar work guys, and gals!

I loved coming here until this ignorant lady started talking bad about me in Spanish. it was a Saturday and the business was packed. She rushed my order into her register and got it wrong. When I picked up my order and nicely brought it to her attention (no big deal we all make mistakes) she rudly started arguing with me that I was wrong. That wasn’t enough for her she began to tell her co-​workers that I was being a nuisance & didn’t know what I was talking about. Well… ¡Si entiendo español perfectamente!
A la otra, muchacha pecosa no tienes que ser tan grocera. Mala educada.

I come to Los Favoritos All the time! I love their burritos! They are sometimes on point depends on who makes it. Today was a horrible experience!!! I ordered a side of chips with pico de gallo and guacamole. They charged me for 2 pico de gallos and didn’t give me any guacamole. I went back in the restaurant and asked them to please give me the guacamole. They charged me the same amount they charged me for the pico de gallo but they gave me only 1, 2 oz soufflé cup. I was debating the two women there about the charge. They both got rude and upset with me. I explained to them that I run a restaurant myself and I can’t believe how they are refusing to just give me another after the fact I paid for it. VERY POOR POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!
I am very disappointed and unfortunately will not be bringing my family back.

Oh Los Faves, you sure know how to make a great breakfast burrito. What I love about Los Faves is that their burritos are not greasy, and they offer them with either flour or whole wheat tortilla. I’m boring with my order and usually get a sausage burrito, and sometimes a quesadilla. Their quesadilla is made with American cheese and not with queso blanco. On weekend mornings, expect a long wait with orders (around 15 – 20 minutes) since they get really busy. It’s a good place to get a nice warm burrito and do yourself a favor and ask for the salsa verde, it gives the right kick to deliciousness!

You can not really go wrong with a breakfast burrito at Los Favs. They are always tasty and fresh, and they use real tortillas. We have also gotten their refried beans a couple times, and we enjoyed them as well.

This place is usually infested with high schoolers and that makes me stressed. Have I become a bitter old lady? Bah hambug!
Anyways, I’ve been coming here for years. I was introduced to this place some time during my ASU days by some guys I use to hang with. While their food might not be traditional, I always enjoy my meal. The place is decorated sparingly and the tables aren’t the cleanliest [high school hangout, remember?], the portions are great for the price you pay. I usually get the carne asada burrito combo, the California burrito combo, or the shrimp burrito. You get moist fluffy rice, decent refried beans, and a giant [not Chipotle giant or anything but a good size] burrito for the combo. I love how they don’t pack their burritos with cheap «filler» ingredients. They seriously stuff your burrito with a ton of flavorful meat!
I’ll probably keep coming back for many years to come when I need me some Americanized-​Mexican eats although I rather take my food to-​go because high schoolers are the bane of my existence. Wee! If only their red sauce was spicier…

Awesome best Carne Asada burrito.
