Mesquite Fresh Street Mex — Restaurant in Phoenix

This is a well thought out descriptive review so embrace yourself. Upon indulging in the steak burrito adorned with a medley of delectable ingredients – pico de gallo, Spanish rice, refried beans, cilantro, guacamole salsa, and onions – I embarked on a culinary journey that tantalized my taste buds and left an indelible mark of satisfaction. This gastronomic masterpiece exuded a symphony of flavors and textures, offering a delightful blend of savory, zesty, and creamy sensations. The steak, tender and succulent, served as the cornerstone of this culinary delight. Its juicy essence infused every bite, complemented harmoniously by the aromatic Spanish rice and hearty refried beans. The marriage of these elements created a robust foundation, satisfying both the palate and the appetite with each savory mouthful. The addition of pico de gallo bestowed a refreshing burst of freshness, with its vibrant medley of diced tomatoes, onions, and cilantro. This colorful ensemble not only elevated the visual appeal of the burrito but also imparted a tangy zest that enlivened the palate. The inclusion of cilantro added a subtle herbaceous note, enhancing the overall complexity of flavors. Its fragrant essence intermingled seamlessly with the other ingredients, contributing to a multi-dimensional taste experience. However, the only minor drawback was the scarcity of guacamole salsa, a component that I found to be a highlight of the burrito. While its presence was insufficient to fully impart its creamy richness, the compensatory green sauce on the side provided a welcomed enhancement. Its tangy kick served as a perfect accompaniment, lending an additional layer of flavor to each bite. In conclusion, the steak burrito adorned with pico, Spanish rice, refried beans, cilantro, guacamole salsa, and onions proved to be a culinary triumph. This burrito, undoubtedly, earns its place as a standout among its...

So disappointed, first issue was I was standing there for 5 mins. Before I even got to place my order, and there was so much flies. When I finally got to place my order I feel I was overcharged, then as I waited my number kept getting skipped and I notice he was messing up other people's orders which they were nice and didn't mind the mix up. And the cook was handling things in the front that the clerk should have taken care of first. When my order finally was up, it wasn't even all there, I politely ask about what was missing and he quickly made, their salad bar was a bit ridiculous, and when we to the clerk there was no limes she just kinda looked at us, so we just said OK then and walked away.the food was OK but I was really disappointed, the beans were watery and no flavor, rice was good just a little burnt, the meat was all fatty, like have the meat in the tacos were fat. I noticed that the trashes were full, but as soon as it was clear the cook came out and quickly emptied them, good eye. Everything was disappointing but a good experience for my class project,the cook could really use some better help, I think he did a good job, the clerk was sloppy, dirty, she needs to step it up, she seemed like she just didn't know what to do, maybe a bad day who knows, if they had one more person working they might have...

We have been coming here for about a year. Tonight we went again and noticed a couple next to the outside grill. This couple was homeless and we're literally hawking the grill. As we pulled up a male employee walked away from grill and went inside. That's when the woman went right next to the grill and was watching the food on the grill. Shortly after I noticed a female employee walk out as if she went to go check on the grill but did not say anything to the woman or couple. The homeless woman kept standing there one foot away from grill. This was very concerning. I understand she was probably hungry but what concerned me most is that the outdoor grill was left unattended. Anyone could have come up to the grill and contaminated the meat on the grill. Any other time I have pulled up to order at drive through there is always an employee working the grill.

What's going on? Why not staff appropriately so that the grill can be tended to? Why not have a protecall for constant attention to the grill since the grill is located right next to the drive up order area? Not only can someone in the drive through contaminate the meat on grill but so can anyone walking through the parking lot?

I thought it was cool that the grill was outside and you can smell it when uou drive up but...
