Reviews for Mesquite Fresh Street Mex in Phoenix, AZ

A good alternative to the Chipotle chain with fast service and great food! The price is very reasonable. This place is clean... and has plenty of space to feel social distance while dining in????. Read more

I came in around 7:30 on a Saturday morning and was greeted with the sight and scent of several hunks of steak being grilled up.... The dining area was a very clean, ?corporately boring in design? space, with lots of room between tables. I was very impressedwith watching the crew of 3 work so efficiently and I still felt very well taken care of -one person helping me, one grilling,and another doing other tasks. Immediately after being greeted, I instantly got the feeling of being transported to a Chipotlewhere everything is pretty similar right down to the tortilla press / warmer. The service was attentive, sincere, andeverything was explained to me since I made it known I was a first-timer. After I saw the pricing, I wasn?t sure what to thinkof the size of the breakfast burritos but I will say that they should be called brunch burritos due to the large size! (Again,think Chipotle size) Meat options are $5.99 while no meat is $4.99. Grilled onions and peppers, which I thought was a must haveitem on these, was an extra cost. Overall, 3 burritos, 2 with meat, 1 without, all with vegetables was a little over $20. Asteal since we all probably won?t need lunch. 3 of these burritos can easily feed 4 people. I have read a few reviews thatmention that the food was bland, and under seasoned, but I feel this to be mostly untrue. What you have here is an operation runin a corporate style setting which aims to make their food palatable for everyone, not just a handful of people. All that beingsaid, the saltiness level was near perfect and the char on the steak really shines trough. The burritos that I had made all werethe same: meat, egg, potatoes, grilled vegetables, cheese, and the red sauce. The red sauce is wonderful and has a very nicespice level to it. If they sold this on it?s own, I?d buy it! The steak burrito was definitely a 5/5 while the chorizo wasn?tas good as I thought it could?ve been after having the steak but will still give it 3.5-4/5 stars. This Read more

10/26/22: We?re back. This time with a smaller group. My burrito was perfect. Half and half meats with such great service. I... really do wish I could eat here everyday. 10/8/22: my brother got me a chicken burrito and delicious even after being in thebag for 20 minutes. 7/10/22: So sorry! I completely forgot to photograph my burrito. It was filled to the rim with delicioussteak and chicken. If you're comparing this place to Chipolte, let's just say nothing can compare. The flavor and seasons areamazing with the perfectly cooked ingredients and high quality care you want to see in a place like this. I was blessed to bringmy church who all gave it raving reviews. The environment was very cheery and workers so nice. Don't miss out on this gem! Read more

The mesquite grill is the first thing you see, so your taste buds get a kick start. We ordered tacos, a bowl & a quesadilla.... Then you can add whatever toppings you prefer. Everything was delicious! Read more

So delicious! Great little restaurant, they offer mesquite chicken beef burrito, tacos, or bowls with all the toppings. I?ve... been a few times and it?s always fresh & so good. I?ve had their breakfast burrito, tacos and a bowl and all were great. You cansmell & taste the mesquite in the beef & chicken. Totally worth the stop. Read more

I?ve been wanting to try this spot forever. Love Mexican food and texmex. Their food looks amazing on social! Finally tried it... yesterday and it was the most flavorless burrito I?ve ever had. Chicken looked great on the grill, but that?s where it ended.The chicken was served from tub full of juices and sopping wet, so the chicken had no charred flavor, but rather tasted stewed.Beans come from a bag(not so fresh). Hot sauce was super oily and had coagulated and separated from whatever was in it. Burritofell apart while she was wrapping it, so I had to knife and fork. Not only was it super disappointing, but it?s absolutelywrecked my girlfriend and my stomach?s since yesterday Read more

We got the family meal to go (pickup) with chicken, guac sauce, cabbage, spanish rice, and half flour, half corn tortillas, and... both red and green salsa. The chicken was okay, too much char for our liking, as it leaves a bitter flavor on your palate. TheSpanish rice was okay after adding salt and pepper, however it tasted very sweet and had an aftertaste of chicken bouillon. Theguac sauce is basically avocado puree. Not bad, but not amazing. The cabbage is fresh and tasted great. The flour tortillasare tasty, no issue there. The corn tortillas left a VERY bitter taste on your tongue. Not sure if we just had a bad batch orwhat but man that was an unwelcome surprise. The green sauce (mild salsa) was good, very flavorful. The red sauce (spicysalsa) was very tasty. It wasn't overwhelming and was a good addition to the taco. For the price ($30 after tax) I think thiswas a great deal. We will get about 3 meals (for two adults and one toddler) from this meal. Overall, we'd come here again andtry some other items from their menu Read more

This place is killer! It's so hard to find great Mexican food out here in AZ that has that Southern CA flavor, ingredients and... style. This is the spot. I'll be coming here a lot moving forward. Mesquite just gained a loyal customer. Careful of usingtoo much red sauce. My eyebrows are dripping sweat. Read more
