Chino Bandido

I live an hour away so haven't been to Chino Bandido in years, went today and everything is exactly as I remember. Amazing food from the Jade Red quesadilla right up to the Snickerdoodle cookie for dessert. Definitely won't be waiting years to come back again.

Had an amazing experience here. It was my first time and they walked me through the menu, step by step. Ordering was a smooth process. Food came out hot and efficient. Great quality food as well. The jerk chicken has the perfect amount of spice. The extra care to make fresh baked cookies to was an incredible touch. Overall fantastic experience.

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.

Local favorite, but not for everyone. Very basic food, smothered in precooked canned processed sauces. Not Chipotle, and not Panda—$1 a scoop... Give it a try; maybe it's something you will like. Can't argue about tastes and preferences, as we all have our own. I personally wasn't impressed.

I got the diablo chicken, red jade chicken, and pork fried rice. It was ok. The best part was the snicker doodle. Drink is sold separately so the double entree with a drink ends up being around $20. If I go back it will pretty much just be for the cookie. Worth trying at least once.
