Hey - do they have CHIMICHANGA's?

And are they made of shredded beef instead of hamburger?

Shredded beef is the best kind, and I'm glad I'm sitting back from the keyboard because drool would not help the sticky keys.....

Rolled tacos are even better from shredbeef, and guacamole -n- sour cream with lettuce and cheddar is a meal....

Yea Humberto's IMO does the best burritos. But your right Bullhead has some good ones. Each has kind of a specialty that they do the best one. I hear the little taco stand on Marina & Rivera has the best tacos.

What about Chimichanga's, ever tried one?

Think of the biggest fattest burrito you ever saw, stuffed with shredded beef....
Deep fried, and served with sour cream, cheddar, and guac!

Every time my wife and I drive through Wickenburg we stop at Filiburtos and get the green chili burr.......green chili sause dripping down your wrists.....and theres always the tension that comes from the possibility of getting sick on the pork. Now thats living!

Filiburtos, is some of the best mexican food. another really good place to try is mix teca on bell and 67th, it might be 59th but i'm not sure. They have the prices of all the little 24 hour joints but the quality and taste of like top shelf or some of those other sit down places.

Mebbe in AZ, CA is a different story. El Cholo in West LA is rated Numero Uno.

It's only a short 353 mile drive from my sisters driveway in Phoenix to my old stomping grounds in West LA. El Cholo is just down the street. The lunch crowd is usually standing room only.

Bill Wilson will be happy to buy Bill Wilson the best burr- rrito in town...whenever he's in West LA.

There were so many variations of (something)Berto's in San Diego County it was pathetic.

I was expecting to see a "GEORGEWASHINGTONBERTO's" pop up any day....

Juanberto's, Alberto's, Alibierto's (look for the extra "I" in it)...

You know what I mean. "BERTO" seemed to be necessary somehow....
I thought it was kinda funny, but honestly - any place with BERTO in the name seems to be dang good.

They should be as they are everywhere in Phoenix. If you cannot find one just go with the O's as I say:

Filiburtos
Rombertos
Rebertos

are all the same

Yes, and I love them.....I used to live in SE AZ and had old grandmothers feel sorry about the new teacher and would give me homemade Chimi's, Burritos, Flautas and Tacos

Garcias has good Chimis as does Filiburtos

Best Mexican food that I had was in Las Vegas at the Luxor. Unreal portion size and flavor was great

So long as it's shredded, not ground. To this day I don't know why that makes it so different, but it does. It's kind of like real barbeque...

Strings of meat in sauce, not just a mashed 'SOMETHING'.
