    I'm not a regular of Federico's, so I don't know if the one we visited is indicative of the others, but quick thoughts: 1. My wife nearly spat out the ice tea. 2. My daughter's drink was so disgusting I ran into the bathroom to spit it out after tasting. I made her dump it for another. The cashier mentioned they changed the type of soda in the machine, but any good restaurant would at least flush the system. 3. The steak in my dish, even though I had it chopped, was tough. Some of it was inedible. 4. The salsa, while spicy, completely lacked character. It was just soupy spiciness. 5. The rice and beans were half decent. 6. The atmosphere was dull, uninspired and completely empty on a Sunday evening. 7. It cost $30 to feed two adults and two kids, which is about the same price we would spend at Chipotle. Not a real bargain from my standpoint. 8. The only good thing: The food was not as much a salt-lick as other fast food restaurants. Still, I don't see a reason to ever go there again.

    Normally I like Federico's but the last two times I've been on Taco Tuesday and had the worst tacos ever. They must be using oil that isn't hot enough because the taco shells come out dripping with oil, hard (not crispy) and impossible to bite. Might just be a Taco Tuesday thing...I'll give them one more try on a non-Tuesday to see if its better. If not, sad to say won't be coming back. The staff is friendly though!

    Finally, North Scottsdale has a fast food Mexican place...something most other neighboring cities take for granted. The food and service is always consistently good, a great value, and definitely fills that Mexican craving you just seem to get every week or so. And it's drive-through that's open late! The quesadillas are huge, filled with melty cheese and grilled meat of your choice. The combos are delicious, and the burritos include several breakfast options served all day. The food is freshly prepared at order time, and might take a few minutes. Everything I've tried I have liked and would (and have) order again, except for the Chile Relleno burrito...but then I'm not a real relleno fan to begin with. The Super Nachos are piled high with grilled carne asada and guacamole, and serve as a great shareable appetizer for several people. The pork Carnitas and Adobada combinations are very flavorful, and come with your choice of flour or corn tortilla with rice and beans. The Fish Tacos are a solid choice, as is the Fish Burrito, with a nice balance of fish, fresh pico, and tartar sauce. All of the breakfast burritos are worth trying, but my favorite is the Ham and Cheese with their green salsa on the side...simple and delicious all day long. A real find that adds to the neighborhood.

    The food here is never the problem, but for the life of me they can never seem to get our order right. From the time we order to the time we drive around to the window it is always forgotten, messed up or scrambled. 2 number 19's and a bean and cheese burrito doesn't seem that difficult to remember but we usually get some combination of the three but never all three on the first try. One day!

    Federico's Mexican Food is amazing. The service is great, the food is excellent, and the prices are extremely fair. It's a tremendous value for what you receive, and I can't recommend it enough. I've gone to this location several times and each time I've come away impressed. You can tell that the food is made to order and prepared with attention, a rare feat nowadays. Bottom line, if you are debating on whether or not to try it, or if you are just looking for delicious Mexican food, go for it!

    I had great hopes, and indeed the food is decent, if you can get past finding hairs in the beans and one of the tacos. And even that I could deal with, if the staff had cared. They didn't. They smiled, said Oh sorry, and went on to help the next customer. Sorry but I will not be back. YEECH!

    It's NOT boring - it's INCREDIBLE! The Arizona 24 hour Mexican restaurant bean tostada is seriously one of my favorite foods, and Federico's has one of the best. Add their hot sauce and WOW! They offer both red and green salsas and just a few drops of each magic liquid make every bite simply outstanding. You can get a happy mouth and a full belly for just over $2. You've gotta try this place.

    OK, if it wasn't 11:09 p.m., maybe Federico's would only get four stars, but when you're in need of Mexican and everywhere else is closed or far away, five stars is the least Federico's deserves. Probably won't visit very often, but it's definitely on my list of "go to" places late at night.

  • Michael M.

    I will give this place 4 stars because there is no other Mexican fast food place in the area. It's just like any other fast food Mexican place, filebertos, losbetos ect. The breakfast burritos and good and so is the carne asada burrito. It's kind of expensive for a Mexican fast food joint, but then again it's in Scottsdale. Staff is friendly! Salsa is a little bland. Convent drive through service. Nothing spectacular but still good stuff! The closest Mexican fast food place is off Indian bend so it nice to have this one located in the neighborhood!

    Inexpensive and delicious. I had the carne asada quesadilla and it was to die for. The place is also spotless as in very clean. The staff is super friendly and the food comes out in no time. Overall, I am very pleasantly pleased with this chain. My friend had the three tacos and it was plenty of food for one person. The quesadilla was humongous with plenty to take home and enjoy afterwards.

    Very good! I really like that they're opened late, especially on a weekday after work. Quick, easy and good Mexican food.

  • Aaron C.

    Decent mexican food. I like their Monday, $2.50 burrito and Tuesday, $1.25 taco specials. And go for the salsa, it's legit!

    There tacos are excellent!! On taco Tuesday there 1.25. I'm coming here all the time.

    This place is quickly becoming one of my favorites. North Scottsdale definitely needed a place like this and this is closer to my house than Filiberto's in the Pavillions. I judge a Mexican restaurant by its carne asada burrito and was not disappointed here. My son gets the carne asada fries and they always look tasty but I haven't tried them yet. Excellent consistent food, great specials such $1.99 burritos on Monday and 99 cent tacos on Wed's. they have buy one get one free burrito coupons on their website. Always clean and no complaints about the people behind the register.

    Federico's Scottsdale location has not been able to maintain the consistent quality since its original opening. The prices have also gone up twice since its opening. The first 6 months, I was ecstatic about having a quality faster-food Mexican place in Scottsdale, near Shea/Raintree corridor. My March 2015 trip, I wondered whether to go back again. The quality of the ground beef was absolutely not there. I ordered a ground beef burrito and a ground beef enchilada plate. It looked great and tasted flavorless, over-cooked, too dry. My teen daughter didn't even help me eat the leftovers. That is a good test! Their re-fried beans are great!

  • Marco D.

    Finally a fast food Mexican joint by my house! This place is just like the others. The food is just as expected so if you like it dirty Mexican style then you won't be disappointed at all. I ordered a California burrito and a kids bean and cheese burrito. Both were excellent. It's even open until midnight! Late night Mexican food cravings are in my future now.

  • Aaron S.

    Very very good quick Mexican. Eat in or drive thru. My favs are the carnitas taco, shredded beef burrito, and the refried beans. Food always come out piping hot. We usually get stuff to go as we live in the neighborhood.

  • Patrick H.

    I like several things about Federico's: 1 - It's close to my house. 2 - It's inexpensive. 3 - They have large portions. 4 - The food tastes good. 5 - Service is friendly. The only thing I don't like is the iced tea. It doesn't taste very good and isn't fresh brewed. Overall, Federico's is a good option in this part of town for Mexican food.

    Wasn't too impressed first time around, thought I'd give it a second chance. I'm writing this review from my toilet, I know not too classy, oh well, trying to get the message across. I ate dinner there just about an hour ago, five minutes ago I was doubled over with the worst stomach cramps that I can remember. The food was subpar, oily, low quality Mexican, yuck. I will never go back! Eat there at your own risk!

    This Mexican joint sprung up out of nowhere in my neighborhood and it took me this long to find it?! I'm glad it's here though, they have some great food. Bean & Cheese Burrito, $2.89 yelp.com/biz_photos/fede… Quesadilla, $3.09 yelp.com/biz_photos/fede… yelp.com/biz_photos/fede… The portions are huge and taste great. They also have Mexican Pepsi and Jarritos Orange soda....that seals the deal, this place is legit. yelp.com/biz_photos/fede… The only thing lacking is that they offer 2 Salsas, green or red....wish they had a "super spicy" option, but they don't. yelp.com/biz_photos/fede… The restaurant is very clean and spacious. There's also a drive thru if you're on the go. Return Factor - 90%

    This place actually has decent fast Mexican food. It's pretty much good for when you need Mexican food in a hurry. It's pretty convenient with a drive thru, and there is a salsa bar if you dine inside. Think like the style food you'd get in a Mexican super market. Why only 3 stars then? Well it's good but not great. It will do when you need some Mexican flavor in a hurry.

    Pretty good Sonoran style Mexican food right up the street and a great price.

  • Ali C.

    This place is awesome! The prices are great, its clean, they actually use vegetable oil and NOT LARD. Thats right folks, I can actually go through this place late at night and get myself a burrito without the worry of lard! YES! Thank you Federicos! I am so looking forward to getting my Black bean/refried bean cheese burrito mix from them. They are located right next to my 2nd job and they are the bomb. Also, the burritos are big XD. You will not be disappointed either your stomach or wallet if you stop in here.

    This particular location is great! The service is always excellent and with a smile. We are always served food that is fresh and hot. We're always happy to wait a couple extra minutes for our food because it is always served perfectly. Their tortillas in particular are always soft and delicious.

    First of all, no matter the price of the food I do like quality meat. That tells me a lot about a restaurant's quality. We ordered a chicken salad, a beef taco and the beef burrito combo (combo means rice and beans, no drink) The chicken salad had a ton of chicken and not a lot of lettuce. The quality of the chicken was great and very flavorful. All in all, good dish. The beef on the taco and burrito needed some seasoning. It was kind of bland. The portions of all the dishes were very good. The taco was the size of a Taco Bell taco, but was $2. I saw the meats go on the grill raw which made me happy. It wasn't sitting there all day! It was $13 for the 3 items so that's not too bad considering the portions. We will try different dishes, but so far it wasn't anything "out of this world". It's nice they have a drive thru and it's open 24 hours. The quality of food is good, beef dishes seem to lack flavor.

    I've eaten here twice, with last time being yesterday. First, very nice owner works there with his wife, so it is a family business, which I like to support. Second, the place was clean, although they were just cleaning it with Pinesol...I wouldn't use that stuff in a restaurant, it smell awful...but getting past that, they offer great Mexican drinks and pretty good Los Angeles style Mexican food. The bean though aren't my favorite style, looks like they use light pinto beans, I like the dark beans. But it was tasty enough. The chips were hot and crispy, a big Plus there. I had the Taco and Tostada plate. Not bad. But I do miss my L.A. Mexican food...like Las Fuentes...This is a good second though.

    I'm so HAPPY that North Scottsdale finally has a GREAT mexican restaurant!!!! Everything I have had here, I love! A list of items we have ordered: Arizona Burrito, Chicken and beef tacos, bean and cheese burritos, cheese enchiladas, chicken soft tacos.... EVERYTHING is tasty and perfect! Flavor in every bite! We eat here all the time. The employees are friendly and the owner Freddie is such a great, caring, friendly guy!!!! If you are in the area stop by and try something! Specials: Monday is burrito night $1.99 for some of the burritos Tuesday is taco night! .99 beef or chicken tacos!! Thursday is enchilada night! $2.99 gets you 2 enchiladas and a drink!

    This place is great. Besides what has already been mentioned, their attention to my request are outstanding. They always make my special order perfect. Except one time. But thats cause I sent someone to get it for me so, could have been the messenger. Super clean, fresh, friendly but not fake. A great addition to the area.

    OMG! Can't believe they have one in North Scottsdale, only 2 miles from my home, sssssoooo Happy, but Dangerous! Great Mexican Food, and Great prices! Close to my 24hr fitness, so at least I will be able to work out, before I have a Giant Green Chili, or Bean Burrito, my Husband loves the Fish Burrito!

    In the tradition of Southern California's Filibertos, we have the new Federicos here in Scottsdale. Gotta' say- Very solid! We had a 2 for one combo coupon, so we got 3 combos and shared. Enchiladas were pretty good, but the 2 burrito (carne asada type meat) combo was fantastic. The 3 combo plates ended up being lunch, dinner, and snack for the 2 of us. The portions are HUGE here. I didn't really care for the carne asada fries, as I am not into the American version either: chili cheese fries (a pile of greasy mush, to me). It was prepared all right, just not my thing. The place really needs some decor, a TV, ANYTHING to liven it up a bit! It's very boring on the inside! They do have a few tables on the patio, and there is drive up service as well. As in other places of this sort, they have a fill your own salsa bar, with delicious & spicy red and green salsas. It'd be nice if they had 2 more flavors. Food is really good, portions are gigantic, so overall it gets 4 stars from me. Just needs some ambience... Tunes, TV, wall art, etc.

    I love this place! I go there at least once a week to get my favorite, their chorizo special burrito. It's a breakfast item but you can order it any time, which is awesome! I also love their carne asada fries. Their prices are fair for the amount of food you get, and it's always fresh, plus their right by my house which is a big plus! All in all, this place is great if you are looking for quality Mexican fast food!

    I love the bean and cheese burritos. The beans don't have lard, and are always fresh. The tortilla is amazing. Super friendly service too. Big portions for the low prices.

  • James R.

    Finally, North Scottsdale has a fast food Mexican restaurant!!! Not Sure if it ever really needed one?? Okay food, Nothing that stands out... I tried their Signature Carne' Asada Taco's and a Cheese Quesadilla with their Grilled chicken... Good choices. I wouldn't drive out of my way to get there, I just happen to have to drive past it, at least twice a day during the week, and still have only been there on one occasion. I would agree with another reviewer, the staff is indifferent, and does act like you are intruding on their time.

  • Michelle H.

    Phenomenal! Best fast food Mexican food I have had in AZ. Ordered the carne asada tostada and a chicken taco. Both were seasoned perfectly and included very fresh garnishes and a delicious salsa bar. My only regret is that I didn't discover this place sooner. And the prices are very reasonable. Can't wait to go back this weekend!

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
