Chino Bandido

Chino is a gem. The food is delicious and a unique fusion of Chinese and Mexican. I love the Jen Red Chicken quesadilla and the Jerk Chicken quesadilla. Also, great to finish off with a complimentary cookie!

The service here is always great. If you've never been here, they are always willing to help and guide you with ordering. ...We used to eat in at the old location, every now and then. The food seemed much better, as was the quantity, years ago. There was always plenty for leftovers. ...At this new location, it's either hit or miss. The chile relleno was good, but it lacked flavor on the coating. The Jade Red Pork and Chicken is still good, as was the rice and beans. Try it for yourself. We love the menu variations.

Im genuinely really impressed with this place. The food was great. The tastes and flavors just work. I got the Pollo Diablo and the Jade Red Chicken. My husband got the Pollo Diablo and Jen Red Pork. Absolutely would recommend that people stop here when they are in the area.

Drove from Lincoln NE to eat here. One of my favorite places! Jade red chicken, jersey fried rice and black beans. The snickersdoodles...OMG!

The Pork fried rice was excellent, but the machaca was a little drier than expected. I put their hot salsa onto the beef and it made it better. Overall, they had the best and friendliest service!

First time visiting Phoenix Steeple and I gave the combo bowl a try. I chose carnitas in a quesadilla (loved that this was even an option!) and paired it with the jade red chicken, jerk rice, black beans, and their special snickerdoodle cookie. The jade red chicken was the standout crispy, deep-fried, and similar in flavor to orange chicken, but not spicy. The snickerdoodle cookie was soft and delicious (thankfully not hard, hard cookies are a dealbreaker for me!). That said, the jerk rice and black beans didn't vibe well together, a bit too sweet and mismatched for my taste. The carnitas were under-seasoned, but the crispiness of the quesadilla helped save it. Service was great, I was greeted right away, offered suggestions, and even able to try some samples. You order at the counter and then grab a seat to wait for your food. There's a dog-friendly patio, which I always appreciate, but unfortunately, it's in direct sunlight with no shade so not ideal for my pup on a warm day. My friend ordered the veggie quesadilla, which surprised me in the best way. It tasted like a fresh veggie salad wrapped in a tortilla. She also had the chile relleno with refried beans and chicken fried rice, which I ended up liking more than my own combo. Overall, it's an interesting Mexican-Chinese fusion spot, and I'd definitely come back to try different menu items.

It's been a while... this place is a unique, Phoenix landmark! I stopped in for some take out, the service was welcoming and as usual the food was delicious. I absolutely despise refried beans from anywhere but here. If you like a crazy twist on Asian and Mexican food give it a try.
