This is one of the best kept secrets in Phoenix for authentic Mexican food. It is a small family owned restaurant with two locations; one in Ahwatukee and newer location in North Phoenix. It’s a local spot where people go for simple food that taste good and doesn’t cost a fortune. They have everything from breakfast burritos, tortas, menudo, to delicious street tacos. My favorite thing on the menu is the bombero burrito with carnitas.
The burrito is the size of a six-inch sub, which should satisfy most people’s hunger. The burrito is simple, with only a few ingredients; rice, pico de gallo and your choice of meat (steak, chicken, or carnitas, but after the burrito is filled and wrapped up, it is smothered in a spicy (bomber) sauce. I usually get the carnitas in my burrito, as the pork is slowly cooked, has tons of flavor and goes really well in the burrito. The pork is delicious, tender, juicy, has a sweet flavor and really compliments the bombero sauce as well as the pico de gallo. The bomber sauce tastes like a spicy barbeque sauce with a smoky hint.
As you take that first bite, the heat from the bomber sauce will not hit you right away, but the more bites you take; the spiciness of the sauce will begin to heat up. As you begin to eat slower or take a break, that is when the heat will begin to pick up (pretty much like Flaming Hot Cheetos).
Everything on their menu is worth trying, but their breakfast burritos are a good choice no matter what time it is. Stop in and check out the atmosphere and sample all the great food, you will not be disappointed.
