I am consistently impressed with my experiences at this restaurant, and I can't recommend it enough. From the moment you arrive, whether you're dining in or just passing through, the service is genuinely welcoming and remarkably efficient. The staff is always friendly and attentive, which makes the entire visit a pleasure from start to finish and contributes to the wonderful atmosphere.The real star of the show, however, is the food. It’s clear that they use fresh, high-quality ingredients to craft dishes that are bursting with vibrant, authentic Mexican flavor. This isn't your average fast-food fare; every bite tastes like a cherished family recipe. The meats are tender and perfectly seasoned, the salsas are bright and fresh, and the flavors are complex and deeply satisfying. It’s a truly fantastic and authentic culinary experience that keeps me coming back for more.What truly sets this place apart for me is the incredible convenience of their drive-thru. It’s a rare and welcome feature for a restaurant serving food of this quality. Unlike most drive-thrus with limited options, this one offers a remarkably large selection from their full menu, making it easy to grab a delicious, high-quality meal on the go without sacrificing taste.

I got a vegetarian burrito and added lettuce and rice to it and it was so delicious!Their tortilla chips were so thin and crispy and fresh and yummy.I loved the atmosphere and the service was excellentI also really loved all the variety of drink options they had that were free refillsI would definitely recommend this place as well as eat here again!

I like this location because they make the best beans at this Someburros. But I was disappointed with my visit today. My burrito was great, as always. But when I went back up to the counter to get a second helping of chips for me and my friend, I was told I had to pay for them. Really? I've never had to pay for a second helping of chips at any location, and I've been going to Someburros since they first opened. If this is a new policy, then you better give me a decent serving of chips the first time, not a small helping of mostly broken chips. I guess the time to 'nickel and dime' has started at Someburros. At least at this location. Why the change in policy? Inflation? Tariffs? Whatever the reason, I think this is a bad look. I know this may seem like a little thing, but I don't know if I'll return. I mean, what's next? Charge me for second container of mild sauce? Charge me to rent a fork and knife?

Great carne asada soft tacos. Quick, about the right price. Excellent.
May 18 · Silas Walker
First time here and have been watching these locations go up like crazy! Peaceful and comfortable atmosphere, ordered at the counter and sat ourselves until they dropped off our order, was out quick and hot, complimentary chips and salsa (chips were very good) I ordered the 3 mini chimi's with rice and beans. Came with guacamole, lettuce, and tomato and it was a lot of food for a great price (around $13 I believe) husband ordered the red chili burro with rice and beans which he loved and we are very picky on our Mexican food having lived in Globe, AZ for five years. Our bill out the door was $30!!! Not bad at all and can't wait to to back for more!!!
