Mercado De Amigos - Gila Bend

Was hungry for a snack as I drove through Gila Bend on the way to SoCal from Phx and yelped this Just, looked like a typical Mexican mini market like the ones I grew up with in Los Angeles, but they sure have a tasty deli counter! Big burritos generous portioned tacos, carne asada carnitas with a few slightly more exotic offerings. I had a couple tacos, one of Carnitas, and one of the Chicharron with green chile sauce. Super tasty and filling, more than reasonably priced. To go only.

I have to concur with the earlier reviews. The burrito asada (with chopped flank steak) was made freshly hot with pretty good quality meat. In fact, another customer who was a Mexican gentleman assisted me ordering the toppings. The food preparer did not speak any English. I asked for pretty much everything and with the red salsa which added a level of spicy (not too hot). It was delicious and can make for a good leftover as well. I would return if in the area as a tourist. Located just about 3/4 mi., north of I-8 on (west side) AZ rte 85.

Food was cold and overpriced. I waited for 15 minutes and when I got it it was warm to cold. For $11.00 I would have thought that it would be hot and fresh.

Holy cow. If you are on the 8 freeway DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GET FOOD HERE. Hands down the BEST carne asada burrito I've ever had in my young life so far. I'm not even kidding this place slaps

The carne asada burrito was amazing. Cooked fresh, watched him take the meat out of butcher shelf. It was also massive, It was two meals in one. Will always stop when go through the town again. The Spanish market it is in has several items to buy too. Got some great corn chips too.
