Chino Bandido

Chino Bandido seems like a culinary curiosity: a local Chinese-Mexican restaurant that blends the two cuisines in a seemingly elaborate design-your-own meal menu format. In reality, blending two of Arizona's favorite cuisines turns out to be a great idea, and ordering is much easier than it seems like at first. There are 14 meat items that you can mix and match with rice, beans and other sides, resulting in a custom meal that combines the flavors of Mexico and China. You can order a Jerk Chicken burrito, for instance, or a Jade Red Chicken quesadilla. Every meal comes with a snickerdoodle, a baked-fresh daily cinnamon sugar cookie.
