We think of burgers, fries, and milkshakes when we think of fast food. But there are too many big companies that sell Mexican-style fast food for us to ignore them.
The cocoa and mozzarella burrito, Double Del hamburgers, and seasonal tamales are must-orders, but I encourage you to find your own favourites. You're capable.
Most of El Pollo Loco's 500 locations are in the southwest. The lemony, flame-grilled chicken at EPL is the main attraction, but like any good chicken place, the sides are also great.
Chipotle is reliable. It's always there if you want a quick, low-carb meal for lunch or late at night.
If you're not in a bad place, food is usually clean and fresh. Tacos, tacos, and bowls are perfect for any size of meal. Even alcohol. Chipotle, thanks.
From of the west side to the southeast, Baja Fresh was one of the first to use the word "fresh" in a meaningful way.
The Baja restaurant was always made with health in mind, which is important. Salsa Baja is the best fast food salsa, and when I was young, I loved the Baja Burrito.
Except for the Quesarito and the cheesy bean and rice burrito, most Taco Bell recipes aren't very good. Too much is made of Crunch Wrap Supremes.
Before they came up with "Qdoba," the chain was sued several times, so I didn't know how to say it. It's hard to put this Chipotle competitor in a box.
Fans of Moe's are always trying to show that Moe's is better than Chipotle and Qdoba. It doesn't, unfortunately. At least, that's where it's really good.
