Jerk Chicken is my FAVORITE!!!

Christopher Gallaga

They have a very light and respectful touch towards fusion that allows each cultures influence to remain distinct. Really nice char siu burrito , excellent chicken , jerk fried rice , all good

Maddie Livingston

My family and I have been going here for over 20 years.. Almost since the day they opened! Great food! You will get addicted. Try jade red in a quesadilla too!!

Eric Henningsen

Black beans are amazing! No place like Chino's anywhere I've travelled. I get here at least once whenever I'm in Phoenix. It's a hole in the wall that's been there for 20 years, with the same menu.

Anthony Duran

Hell Yes! Delicious food because it's an awesome concept to combine two of the world's best flavors. Easy way of ordering but if it's your first time the staff are very friendly and helpful!

Christopher Michael

Jade Red Chicken and Emerald Chicken are delicious! The Cuban black beans are exquisite! I come here every Friday it’s that good

Sara Ziolkowski-Bredeson

Been wanting to try this place for years! Lived up to my expectations. Kind of a hole in the wall , but the people are incredibly friendly and helpful and the food was good. We'll definitely return!

The food was amazing! The Chinese/Mexican twist is perfect for our family. I love Chinese, husband loves Mexican.

Melissa Hernandez

The Emerald chicken is so yummy and flavorful! That ginger & green onion sauce! ♡

Alec Lomas

The obvious standouts are the ever-popular Jade Red chicken and sweetly delicious Snickerdoodles , but there isn't much on the menu not worth sampling. Great service, impossibly good food.

Kelly Nish

My boyfriend LOVES this place! He dragged me here & I fell in love. Atmosphere is ok, but the food is great "pig out" food! Enchiladas & fried rice in one entree! I'm vegetarian & I was able to eat.

Cosmo Shepherd

I have eaten at 4 other restaurants that Guy Fieri featured on his show and they were all pretty disappointing. Chino's is a great exception. Everything I have had here is ????

Gilbert Garcia

First time visitor but the staff was friendly and helpful. Jade chicken was good, not too spicy . The wife would have hoed the place was a little cleaner but all and all very pleased.

allie bloomfield

An impeccably unorthodox mix, this place meshes mexican and chinese food and creates delicious meals like jade red chicken quesadillas with black beans and rice . Don't knock it 'til you try it!

Paige DiPasquale

The best thing about this place besides the food is the fact that people of all cultures, all ethnicities love eating here. It's amazing that this food appeals to such a broad spectrum of people! Woot

Tim Agne

Jade red chicken , black beans , jerk fried rice , emerald chicken , snickerdoodles , chocolate volcano cookies — everything is amazing!

Chris Siegwald

An Arizona icon. Enough said. No matter what you try, somehow it always appeals to your taste buds. A must visit at least once, then you are hooked!

Cecil Daniel

If you're feeling particularly hungry, get the two sides plus one of the rice flavors and beans! There's so much to mix and match.

Jacquie Marie

told her it was my first time and she bombarded me with yummy samples! emerald chicken tastes like ginger and green onion , and jade chicken is sooooo good! jerk fried rice yummmyyy! dont judge!

Alyssa Hirsch

Been going here since I was a kid and I've never been disappointed. My favorite things are the jade red chicken and their quesadillas .

Laine Wyman

Love the Red Jade Chicken ! It is a fun place with a lot of character. The ordering can be a little overwhelming but staff are happy to help.

Nurse Eric

Everything's good here. Sorry about the photo. Can't ever remember to take one before I'm finished. Soooooo Good!

Jennifer Davies

Get a combo with a quesadilla . I prefer the Chinese pork in the bowl and the jerk chicken in the quesadilla . And the pork jerk fried rice is delish!

Matthew Dillner

Fusion!!!! Do red Jane Chicken in a burrito . Then Emerald Chicken in a quesidilla. Do the fusion for the real deal

Billy

What's not to love? Such an amazing wreck of Asian and Latin cuisines all together on the same plate. I love it.

Ryan Compton

I have been going to Chino for several years, Jade Red & Black Beans are always my standards. Recently discovered a Chile Relleno in a burrito ... Pancho Panda you have blown my mind!

Jace Goodmiller

This place is amazing! Great service and awesome food. I recommend Jade Red Chicken and BBQ Pork Quesadilla (have to eat it with plum sauce though).

Amanda Petru

Make sure to do a chinese/mexican combo.... Dont just get all of one or the other like a rookie. The chile relleno is great and the machaca beef is great too.

Kali wailey

The food is amazing, my favorite is jade red chicken , emerald chicken quesadilla , and black beans , no rice . Sooooo good!!!!

Brent Metzler

The best part of Chino Bandido is that you get to chose 2 different meats, and a rice and beans for your sides.

Rodney Muehlfeld

Great food! Don't be fooled by the outside, the food you find inside is incredible. Try the vegetable quesadilla . Healthyish and yummy!!

Sean Maschue

Above all the people here are great. Friendly patient staff.Jade chicken , chile relleno , and jerk rice .

Jeremy K

Is it more of a Mexinese... Or is it a bit more Chinexican? Honestly I can't decide. But it's good food and a divey atmosphere. Perfect.

CeCe Wilken

Carnitas quesadilla with black beans and jerk fried rice ! Emerald chicken is legit. Snickerdoodle cookies are to die for.

Monte Tucker

Great staff . The free cookies are good enough to make you want to go back just for the cookie .

Craig M

Best chile relleno and Cuban black beans you will ever find... everything else is also great.

Michael Belluardo

Awesome & fast food . Grabbed lunch here and loved it.

Libby Spainhower

Don't get discouraged if the ordering system seems complicated. The friendly staff with walk you through it and even give you tasty samples. The great food is well worth the effort!

Kati Routh

I love getting the Jade Red Chicken or the Machaca in a quesadilla ! The cheese balances out the spice very well . Yum!

Doug Armstrong

As always the food was GREAT!!! A neighborhood hole in the wall place that has never disappointed.

Robert Fisher

I'm from Texas and I came here with a friend who lives here. If you wanna try something mind-blowing, GET THE EMERALD CHICKEN .

Phoenix New Times

Best of Phoenix Winner 2011: Best Mexican Fusion. If you’re feeling for some Chinese and Mexican cuisines , Chino Bandido is the perfect combo. Read more

Christopher Michael

The menus are a confusing pain in the ass to fill out but the food is epic. EVERYTHING is delicious!

Sara Ziolkowski-Bredeson

My combo of choice...Jade Red Chicken , Carnitas Burrito , fried rice & beans. Mmm!

M.J. Reed

For those with island palates, try the Chinese BBQ , Emerald Chicken or the Carnitas (think Kalau Pork & Lomi Lomi intertwined). But in the end, it's *really* all about the Snickerdoodle .

Hind R

Jade chicken and the jerked rice were good

Brad Bowman

Double jade red chicken , refried beans , and rice - it's been my only order for 15+ years!

Alexandra Priest

If you're new thy will give you samples, there's so many options it's nice to narrow it down!

James Wood

The food was fantastic! We will be back!

Jennifer Seese

Food and service were great. We got to sample before we decided what to order
