La primer vez que fui a comer ahí me encanto la comida y ya hemos ido varias veces pero hoy encargue en uber eat y ordene unas fajitas y cual fue mu sorpresa que la carne y el pollo estaban todos quemados y del sabor no se pudieron comer así que mis 40 dolares fueron a la basura nunca espere recibir una comida así una cosa es carne en total cocimiento y otra es quemada qué decepción me lleve.

The Maricopa restaurant is average at best.

I’ve been dining at the Chandler location for years and it never disappoints. The food is always fantastic!…- the presentation (whether dine-in or takeout, the food always looks great!); taste/flavor/consistency, all great!; the ambience of the restaurant is inviting.; the staff is fantastic.
I was thrilled to learn there was going to be a Maricopa restaurant…. Unfortunately, it just doesn’t hit the mark. I visited yesterday afternoon, sat at the bar and ordered takeout, 2 entrees and 1 a-la carte burro. I enjoyed a tasty margarita while I waited. The food arrived plated rather than packaged for takeout. It was returned to the kitchen to be packed up. I was told chips and salsa were in the bag. I arrived home, unbagged everything, no chips and salsa :(. Not a huge deal but disappointing none the less. I ordered the regular Pollo Rico entree but received the lunch special , or is it the same size just on a special?, I don’t know, but the portion seemed much smaller than when I order it at the Chandler location. The El Jefe Chimi, my FAV!, was overfried, the tortilla was browned all over, it looked as if it sat and was reheated ; the onions were so overdone they were black, again as if they had been sautéed, then sat, then sautéed again; the chicken was dark, definitely overcooked, dried out; the guac was already browning in color.
All-in-all , pretty disappointing experience. I really hope the Maricopa location can make some much needed improvements with their quality of food. In the meantime, the Chandler location continues to be my first choice, well worth the drive!

We recently visited Nando's Mexican Food and had a fantastic experience. The food and service were both excellent, and the place was clean and inviting. We arrived just before the happy hour rush and enjoyed their great happy hour specials.

The complimentary chips and salsa were a nice touch, and their salsa was particularly good. I had the red chili burro, which was filled with big chunks of tender beef. Overall, it was a delightful meal, and we highly recommend Nando's for their delicious food and friendly service.

The hatch green chile cheese crisp is to die for a must try item! Very chill atmosphere, clean and inviting when you walk in. We ordered the enchiladas del mar, beef chimichanga, and a kids corn dog with fruit. Enchiladas were really good but very rich. The food came out piping hot too! The chimi literally has just beef inside of it which my husband said was good it was just a little bit plain seeming because all the ingredients are on the outside like the pico de gallo and the sour cream etc. The mixed fruit for the child's plate was fresh and had a good variety of fruits. The prickly pear tea is excellent it's not very sweet at all but has a really good mild pear flavor it's yummy. 100 would go back again I could literally eat an entire plate full of the roasted hatch green chiles. The bathrooms were exceptionally clean and well maintained. I also like how they give you a spicy salsa and a non spicy salsa and allow you to refill your own dipping cup.

Good food and a cool little bar. Our server was attentive and kept our drinks full. They were busy so the little wait for our food was to be expected. The chicken enchilada was my favorite. The birria tacos weren't as good as others I've had and they were a little stingy with the consume but they still were ok.

Usually, I like the food at most Nando’s, but I wasn’t impressed with this location. Unfortunately, nothing was very good. The food was average with below average service. Even the chips and salsa were bland. I do not recommend this location.
