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.

When I lived in Scottsdale, I used to hit up Los Betos about 3-4 times a month. I always ordered a Carne Asada Quesadilla, with sour cream. After a while, they got used to me ordering it, and would wave to me through the drive thru window. Apparently, I was the only one who ordered this. Anyways, I got to know the staff, even though I couldn't really communicate with them but through broken English and gestures. Friendly crew. Plus, they alway accomodated me with extra hot sauce containers, and I always threw them an extra few bucks. That quesadilla is heaven on earth. Someone else posted about 'being in love,' and I can relate. I seriously cannot go more than a month without one, as I live in Chandler now. But I make it to Scottsdale once in a while, and every time I do, EVERY time, I stop at Los Betos. You put a spell on me.

You want to feel guilty, satisfied and happy come here during the hit of drunken cravings at 2am and its a no fail mmmmmmmm gooooood! The bacon burritos that I've taken in are badges of pride in the form of plaque in my arteries. Totally have accepted it but its alright. Clean kitchen from the viewpoints I can observe with speedy service. That's all I need. After this review Its gonna be time again for another bacon goodness.
(4)Andrea T.
I LOVE this place. It is usually the first place we stop when we get to Scottsdale and the last place we eat at before heading back home. I spent too much time and money there while a college student, but the food was cheap back then and it is delicious. I can't find the equivalent out here in the San Francisco Bay Area. The carne ascada tacos without beans are what always keeps me coming back. The super nachos are really tasty too! Well, shoot! Now I want that for dinner!
(4)Sarah K.
This joint was GOOD. I don't know about the other reviews saying it was cheap- $20 for a drive through isn't exactly cheap- but good, YES. It was quick and m deeee-lish. The food was fresh and yumo. Bean and rice come with the combos- the burritos were HUGE.
(5)Michael C.
Breakfast Burrito and lots of extra hot sauce. Yum!!!

They need to give Alejandra a raise. She's the best drive thru worker I've ever come across. She remembered exactly what we liked and wanted on our second visit. She has great memory and amazing people skills. I ordered a vegetable burrito and loved it. This is now my go to mexican spot. It tastes like senor taco only with a cheaper price tag. I only paid $5.75 and it was huge! I'm so full now and somehow I still want more of it because it tasted so good. The horchata was good but they put too much ice in it. Next time I come here I'll try to remember to tell them no ice. The green chilaquiles here are amazing.
(5)Sophia S.
Me and my boyfriend come here all the time just to get chilaquiles. So far this place makes the best chilaquiles! Its very cheap only cost $5.50. This place has one of the best employees by the name of Alejandra also known as Alex. Everytime we come here she is always quick with our meals, she is very kind and communicates great with customers, when I go through the drive thru at restaurants workers are not as kind but Alejandra is kind. Alejandra always has a professional positive attitude and leaves a good impression. I hope she eventually gets acknowledged for her great work effort as a great employee. We will continue to come back she helps brings business with her professionalism and deserves to have a raise in her pay for doing such a excellent job.

As I put the bag on the counter and removed the pollo asado burrito I couldn't help but smile. As I held this monstrosity up to my size 8 head I noticed my head and the burrito were nearly the same size. Yes, the building may have seen better days, and I'm sure things could be much cleaner on the inside. but Betos is a strong value with huge portions and classic flavors. If you are concerned about your waistline, this place isn't for you. This single chicken burrito had as much chicken as 2-2.5 burritos from Chipotle! In the future, I may eat 1/2 for lunch and 1/2 as a midnight snack. As other yelpers have mentioned, yes there is noticeable amounts of grease, lard, and/or trans-fat. Who cares? It's almost refreshing to taste these old school flavors, as you will not find richness like this at the competition. Because I was unaware of these epic portions, I also ordered a chorizo quesadilla for under 5$. This was also nearly comically huge! The chorizo was authentic, well seasoned, and plentiful. The grease level penetrated the fresh tortillas and created another unique rich flavor. What's even more impressive is that I lost track of time studying, and came in for a late dinner around midnight. Everything was perfectly hot and fresh. They even discount there already low prices for tacos on Tuesdays. I don't usually yelp after only a single visit. but this taco stand really punches above its weight.

Green chile means more than one thing, and although I didn't get the New Mexico-esque concoction I hoped for with the green chile burrito, it turns out that the burrito was worth it for the outstanding, juicy pork. Not radically different from carnitas, it reminded me a little of southern pulled pork. The accompanying green sauce was fine, but a bit like anywhere else. However, the red was a powerful recipe that no spice enthusiast should miss. There are no indoor seats, just a couple of outdoor spots at this mostly drive-through venue.
(5)Cyn V.
I'm the kind of gal that needs greasy, cheesy, spicy, yummy goodness after a rough night out. Los betos has been my go to spot for the right kind of cure. My favorite burrito is the California burrito, no pico de gallo, add beans. I order this every time and it does it's trick. I recommend you get this burrito and you'll never go back to a different kind of burrito.

Real men and women eat at Los Betos. You're here to get some hearty Mexican cookin', and you give no fucks about the 80,000 calories you're about to consume. Diets are for the weak, anyway. You're not on a diet because your body is already a god damned temple, and you're going to worship it by ordering a combo #2, two cheese enchiladas deep fried in lard, an iron fistful of rice, and mountain of beans. Then you're going to wash that shit down with a mother fucking ice-cold beverage. The prices are more than reasonable. That means you got enough cash left over to order another combo #2. And you're a god damn rockstar so do you exactly that. The employees know the deal. They make your food quickly and then they get the hell out of the way. You're hungry and you need to eat NOW. Drive through is available so you don't even need to get out the car while you gorge on the finest Mexican cuisine $6.99 can buy. Live la vida loca, mother fuckers. Eat at Los Betos. Open 24-7.
(5)Kate D.
Im not sure what kind of person checks yelp for a Mexican fast food joint with a drive thru - usually best for after the bar closes. It's what you would expect. Greasy, filling, sauce laden, cheese covered Mexican food in a styrofoam box. 75% of the menu comes out of a deep fryer - these places are on every corner in Scottsdale and are pretty much the same. Not as cheap as they should be but they are sure to fill you up. Seriously - how do you review 5 rolled tacos with cheese...
(3)Danyell S.
Not too bad for what it is. I usually get three rolled tacos with cheese and guacamole, or a bean and cheese burrito. The service is quick and friendly, but I'm not too keen on the quality of food but its great for late night munchies. Try plain churro :) yum!
(3)C N.
We ordered two breakfast burritos, one without eggs due to allergy, only to find out when we got home they both had eggs! Neither was that tasty, and the two salsa options (red & green) were watery, not spicy or flavorful. Drive-thru only, FYI. So no salsa bar like others. Tortilla not great/seems store-bought, unlike the excellent homemade tortilla shells at Regio's Mexican Food at 1705 E Indian School Rd.
(3)Jill C.
While not as good as Fiesta Burrito, this place is an okay substitute.
(3)Mike M.
Take it from AZ native, best machaca burrito and chicken tacos around. Try the flautas with guacamole, drive thru and go sit in the park to enjoy
(5)Grace O.
My friend lives nearby and really likes this joint. It is very convenient! We don't have drive-through Mexican food in Hawaii...lol. Anyways, I had combo plate of 3 tacos with rice (no beans for me!) I didn't pay attention to the "rolled" before the tacos and was confused as to why I had taquitos. lol. But my husband assured me that they had given me the right thing. It was tasty, nonetheless. Their guacamole tasted a little odd to me, and they plopped on a huuuuuge pool of it onto the tacos, so it overwhelmed the plate a little bit.
(3)Chad G.
Love the breakfast burritos!
(4)Terrah C.
Best everything! Best nachos! Best everything! Delicious.
(5)Mike S.
I never thought I'd visit a place such as this without a brain full of alcohol, but recently I discovered the steak and egg burrito here. I put this little guy on my late night rotation (minus the cheese) and I wake up feeling ready to tackle the day (as opposed to the toilet). It probably won't win any awards but it more than adequately serves its purpose. Cheap. Delicious. Man-food.
(3)Donald S.
I haven't been Yelping much lately...too, too busy! But happily busy (busy means money and while the money may not buy happiness, it will rent you a parking space so that you can park the Bentley and stroll on over to happiness...so more is good!). So I was surprised and delighted to receive a missive from Yelp HQ in my inbox...less so when I broke the seal on my mail and discovered that a photo in one of my reviews had been "flagged by the Yelp Community and removed because it fell outside the photo guidelines" . Which review, you ask?...why the one directly below this one. I thought for a moment about who would flag a small graphic in an obscure review about a third rate taco stand in South Scottsdale...and decided I didn't have a clue! So I went to Los Betos to do a little investigating (and to have lunch...they may be third rate, but they still make delightfully greasy and satisfying rolled taco's...I had three of the little boogers!). As I sauntered up the window (I was going to do drive through, but then I would miss the full Los Betos experience...dining under an umbrella, in the grease vortex that perpetually swirls between Los Betos and Whataburger, plus, I needed to be on foot to do my best Magnum P.I. investigative work). I ordered my rolled tacos and salsa and then asked casually "Hey, have you guys flagged any cute little graphs in a Yelp review of Los Betos, lately?" The sweet little undocumented worker behind the counter either said "¿Quién, yo?" or "do chu wan rice 'n bean"...I can't be sure. In any event, the food was, as always, decent...no one stuck their thumb in my tacos. The service was fine, if incomprehensible (much like the explanation from Yelp HQ, as to why my little graph didn't meet photo guidelines:) The grease was pretty fresh (and now I am lubed for days:) I guess I'll never know the answer to who flagged my little chart, or why (although I have my suspicions about the Bertos/Betos conglomerate and their minions). I was going to take a photo of the grease traps behind Los Betos and post those, since they are an integral part of the restaurant experience when you are sitting outside and subject to the tornado like cloud of cooking gasses and particulates (unlike my small chart which, while accurately describing the crap to good stuff ratio of my meals at Los Betos, apparently doesn't qualify)...but then I decided, maybe I've made enough mischief for one day:) Or not.

Absolutely delicious when you're intoxicated. A 50-50 chance being decent or totally gross when you're sober. Los Betos offers a lot of greasy food for cheap, but like any 24-hour drive through Mexican stand in the valley, it's a gamble that you will most likely regret when you wake up in the morning. I used to live a stone throw From Los Betos and ate here way too many times during that period of my life. Like a majority of the patrons, I drove through after a night at the bars or after a late night of working when traditional fast food just wouldn't do it for me. I also probably had a BAC that was pretty close to the legal limit. The staff was always pretty cool and friendly. For better or for worse, one guy even consistently remembered that my usual order was 3 rolled tacos with guacamole and a quesadilla.
(3)Ashley S.
Convenient and delicious. Slightly higher price than other 'drive-thrus' but the portion size is relative. Even at the drive through I wait a little while, but honestly- it's worth it - which says alot! I will definitely keep going back.
(5)Ceejay Y.
This my fix when I want cheap and easy mexican food quick! open 24 hours, so if your hungry and leaving the club in Scottsdale its nothing to take a cab down the street and get a burrito from this spot I have only tried the breakfast burrito and the California both are delicious.. cant go wrong with 24 hr Mexican food especially this spot..
(4)Mike G.
For cheap, yet delicious Mexican food, especially after a night of drinking... this is the place. They're open 24 hours! Order the Steak Egg and Cheese Burrito. $5.45, and its about the size of a subway foot-long. Packed with steak and cheese... oh man, I think I might go get one for breakfast! *drool*
(5)Jason B.
Sometimes you just got to get yourself your sausage burrito fix... and it can't just be any burrito it has to be los betos! So a friend once told me that in order to judge a good burrito it has to be greasy, messy, and stuffed. Yea, los betos is damn right greasy! Once you're halfway done with your burrito it get's really messy, and I think they really fill up those burritos. I gotta admit that we Phoenicians are spoiled with our many drive-thru mexican fast food places and I'm spoiled knowing the greasy goodness of los betos. This is the place to head to after a night of drinking in old town, or simply craving carnitas with the pico and guac. So, these are my recommendations at los betos - try the carnitas burrito coz it's damn greasy and good, and if you're extra hungry, the carnitas supreme with all the fixins. If you want a breakfast burrito, go for the salchicha (sausage) burrito... the eggs, cheese and sausage is mmmmmmmmmmmmm YUM YUM... and finish it off with some horchata or jamaica... oh heaven.
(4)Maggie W.
As soon as I land in Phoenix, I go straight to Los Betos. Having lived there for about a year, it was a staple. Now that I am gone to the East Coast, I can only DREAM about their delicious breakfast burritos. I have read the other reviews, and all I can say that anyone who complains just doesn't appreciate the gem they have there. Is it a pantheon of hygiene, no...but it is a drive through Mexican restaurant that is open 24 hours a day - if you want high class and floors that you can eat off - there are plenty five star restaurants in Scottsdale. Also, as one with food allergies and a penchant for getting food poisoning - I have never, in ten years, gotten sick once from Los Betos. Be warned - one burrito is like a pillow, and the red hot sauce is divine and will knock your socks off with spice. It is a lot of food - but it is worth the calories and the salsa stains. The staff are also always pleasant. In all - my only complaint is that it is so far away from where I live now! The address of the one I love is on the way to the airport or near Fashion Square - at Los Betos Mexican Food 3414 N 24th Street Phoenix AZ 85016 Phone: (602) 954-4749
(5)Dan L.
I used to live right up the street from this restaurant and as a result came here several times. I don't think that there is any way I'd return though. I have literally never felt good after eating here - whether it was a hazy, late night encounter and getting sick in the morning, or more of a standard evening dinner and getting sick at night. Maybe I'm allergic to some sort of special, exclusive ingredient they use...
(2)Lauren M.
I love eating at los betos. My favorite is their chicken enchiladas which I get constantly. They fill my tummy up and taste delicious with their lettuce and chicken and red sauce. When im not in the mood for enchiladas my second favorite item is the green chili burrito which has just enough kick before its overpowering. This place is definitely a hole in the wall but isn't that what makes a dingy little Mexican joint so awesome? The only reason im giving it 4 out of 5 stars is because their food isn't consistent some days their food is really good and other days its just alright.
(4)Richard Z.
Any of you who read this who have ever been in love will be able to relate: There's a first pang of distress, when the knife blade pierces the skin, when you know you are in for some pain. But the endorphins kick in and you realize that you are in for more than you ever bargained for... At los betos, after a few (5, 10, 20?) drinks, I had the sad misfortune of ordering a carnitas burrito at 220 in the am. And what did I receive, but the most delectable delight ever served in the pinche madrugada ( rejoice, all my spanish speaking compañeros, a cuss word or two to titillate you). The carnitas were cooked to a perfect crispy exterior, while the innards burst forth with a cornucopia of spices and flavors that made my very synapses fire indiscriminately with glee. But, not to be outdone, heartburn would make its own dastardly play for my overwhelmed nerve endings, tearing me from neck to knave with pain. Did I stop, even for one excruciating second? Yes, but only long enough to pour on more green sauce, villainously spicy in a way that no beto, be it fili, rol, or eri, has ever been. Nay, I succumbed to the sweet agony of picante and used that to goad me forth into the foxhole against the onslaught of acid reflux. Each bite brought both more pain, acute, dire, and relentless, but also a sweet symphony of flavors that can only mean guacamole and green sauce replete with all the accoutrements. I fought, and fought back hard, and what I can tell you is this: No burrito has ever caused me such pain and yet no burrito has ever granted me such pleasure. Like a sine curve, plunging predictably from zenith to nadir and back again, los betos has given me the pleasure--nay, the honor, of feeling every physical sensation known to sentient vertebrates. Five glorious, painful, resonating stars. Five harrowing yet riveting stars. Five supernovas, five black holes, five big bangs of taste. The world has never known anything like what I have just experienced. You too can have what I had... all it takes is intestinal fortitude enough to jump in the car with a beer bong and head straight to thomas and hayden. Oh, and leave the zantac at home, puss.
(5)Veronica S.
Great place especially when you are drunk. You can walk right up to it, and order, and for the most part, they get your order somewhat right... if they mess up, it is probably cause you were drunk.
(4)Max A.
I've never been a huge fan of this place although I've been eating here for about a decade or so. Over the years, this place has been hit with multiple health code violations - make no mistake. It's an unclean place. Most of their ingredients come from huge cans or vats - they don't really "make" anything there as far as I know. It's all shitty crappy food. The shredded beef is dry and tough and looks like charred rat tails. I guess when it's the closest mexican food place still open after hours that isn't Taco Hell, it becomes the best option. It's edible and gets the job done, but it's not very good food. I'd never choose to eat there if any other halfway decent mexican food place was open at the time. This place wins by default only. Hell, I'd rather eat at Filibertos and they got busted for serving cat meat. Another charming thing about Los Betos is that they make up the prices in their heads. You could order the same exact thing there every single night of the week and they would charge you seven different prices. It's bizarre, but amusing. Their food is really cheap anyway, so it's not like it matters.
(3)Joel Y.
What happened to this place. Ordered 2 California burritos and it was disgusting. There was no taste and the meat was debatable. Ordered Carne Asada fries and it tasted like mush as well. Fries were soggy and everything else was lacking flavor. Worst part? I WAS DRUNK WHEN I THOUGHT IT WAS GROSS.. SO YOU KNOW IT WAS PROBABLY PRETTY BAD! AND HOW DID MY BILL END UP BEING $14 FOR 3 ITEMS?! Nachos from Taco Bell would have been a better choice.. damn it. Don't eat here.
(1)Shannon M.
Seriously the best 3am quesadilla I have ever had. It was big and gooey, with just enough browning on the outside of the tortilla to make it a little bit crisp. As an added bonus it was kind of cold outside, so it made a great hand warmer as well. Why only 3 stars? OK, you do have to sit on some questionable outside picnic tables and I don't want to think about how clean the kitchen may or may not be, but the entertainment value of watching tipsy people stumble around while waiting for their food can't be beat.
(3)Kristen R.
It was almost impossible for me not to stop here on the cab ride back from old town for carne asada fries.mmmm sooo good! I really only went there between the hours of 2-4am but, los betos never let me down.
(4)Josh P.
I don't know what it is about this place. I've been going to Los Betos for years. For some reason it only agrees with me late at night. Anytime I get it between the hours of 9am-11pm, it's disgusting. I love their beef burritos and Super Natchos. Super Natchos weigh at least 3 pounds.
(4)Heather C.
This place really scares me sometimes. I bit into a taco last night and grease literally streamed out the other end. Luckily I'm already on Lipitor.
(3)Angela K.
This location has never screwed up my order, yet they've been quick about getting my food to me. I'm a picky eater and Los Betos has competent staff. What a contrast from most fast food restaurants! Plus the food has always been delicious and inexpensive. I LUV Los Betos!!!
(5)Jimmy H.
I love Los Betos. I love all the 24 hour Mexican food places in Arizona. It shocks me that these places don't really work in other parts of the country. I'm writing about this Los Betos because I live within 3 blocks of them. God knows their food has probably lead to a healthy hardening of my 24 year old arteries. I eat here at least once a week, and their food is always pretty amazing. It's just delicious, greasy Mexican food at its best. Watch out for the 2AM rush, as that's when the drunks show up en masse. You will likely have to wait in line, and potentially deal with ridiculous behavior. This pretty much goes for any of these 24 Mexican joints.
(4)Melinda R.
Let me start by saying this place could potentially kill someone. That's alright with me ;) Great if you want a huge greasy breakfast burrito, or a clogged artery. Either way, they're open 24 hours a day, and they're quick to get your order out. I got the chips (plain), and a sausage breakfast burrito to go with the cocktail I made at home. I got through about half of that burrito and was stuffed to the brim. These things are pretty large, but don't let the previous reviews hype up the size. It was a good 12 inches long, and almost 3 inches in diameter. Packed with cheese, sausage, and eggs. My boyfriend ordered the chrizo and told me the chrizo was a bit over cooked (figured maybe they used left overs from the day before) and he would have liked a little more egg in there. It was a good pound of pure chrizo and maybe 1 scrambled egg total in that thing. Nobody got sick. After my breakfast burrito sat in the fridge for 30 minutes and I pulled it back out for a few more bites, it wasn't worth eating. All the grease formed solid, so I trashed it. I'd go back again. Maybe next time I'll clog my arteries with cardne asada tacos. PS: The chips aren't that great. But cocktails make everything delicious. 2 stars goes to food quality 1 star goes to it being open 24 hours
(3)Danielle T.
Love this place to get my late burrito fix. I especially love it after a night out. The place is awesome. Yes, it's greasy but it's yummy. I know, bad, but like I said, yummy. The portion sizes at this place are huge and their food is pretty cheap. I like getting my carne asada burritos as well as a California burrito. I also really enjoy their carnitas burrito, thanks to my friend Jason, and I do like their chorizo burrito when I get in the mood for a breakfast burrito.
(4)Brad S.
Okay, the Betos isn't going to win any international awards for culinary subtlety but dammit if it isn't an institution. And, yes, you'll hear the haters talking the mess about the 'Tos being just for late-night drunken gorging. False. Slander! Their chimichanga, paragon of authentic Northern Mexican cuisine, I know -- is otherworldly in its cheesy, meaty assault. The carne asada burrito -- aka "the donkey dick" -- is abusively delicious, as are the breakfast burritos. AND, as a bonus, I've never gotten ill from eating there in ten or so years of loyal patronage. And to address to accusations of cats being used to supplement the meats, as my buddy once pointed out, "If this is what cat tastes like, it's all good." And don't be fooled -- they're not open on Xmas Day. That's why they get four instead of five stars. Bullshit.
(4)Jennifer G.
I love this place....and all divey mexican joints for that matter! I was in the area today, and was unfortuantely still full from lunch, so I didn't stop. I used to drive by every morning on my way to work and would go through the drive thru at least 2-3 times a week to pick up breakfast AND lunch. I don't care how dirty their kitchen is....I have never gotten sick, EVER. When I was on a low-carb diet, I would order a burrito, eat the insides and I was still full!!! Now, I fully indulge in the greasy, lard-filled, carb-filled goodness. How can you go wrong with a breakfast combo of scrambled eggs w/ ham, refried beans and fresh tortillas...YUMM!!! I agree that their "hot sauce" is very watery, but it still works. Carne asada, carnitas, pollo asado, it's all good ")
(5)Sina A.
this place sucks. meat tastes like straight asshole!
(1)Jake C.
If you're looking for clean, chic Mexican food, don't go to Los Beto's. But, if you want a messy, cheesy brick of goodness late at night to soak up some booze, look no further. Los Beto's is my favorite 24 hour Mexican food drive thru around. I have heard murmurings of health violations but only for really minor infractions that you would probably expect at a place like this anyway. Like I said, if you want to sit down in a clean restaurant with light ingredients this isn't for you. The Texas Burrito is stuffed with chicken, potatoes and melted cheese. Pour a little salsa on every bite as you go and you're on your way. But, don't eat and drive! I have salsa stains on many a pant that can tell you why not.
(4)Jeff W.
I basically go back and fourth between the carnitas and carne asada burritos. Add a horchata and I'm in heaven for $7.
(5)P. G.
My sweet lord, The Betos! I have had just about every item on the menu (except for maybe the shrimp, I mean I'm not insane) and this place just delivers time and time and time again. It's my first stop whenever I travel back to Arizona. The absurdly delicious breakfast burritos, the shredded beef tacos with roughly 78,000 grams of fat per serving, steak supreme nachos which weigh about 3 pounds, cheese enchilidas...this place has it all, and open 24/7 to boot. The staff is friendly, fast, and helpful, so be a pal and don't be shy about dropping a dollar in the tip jar, these guys earn it.
(5)Peter D.
Typical authentic mexican for these parts. However, if your into the whole fish burrito scene, I suggest you look elsewhere. Not to worry, the shrimp burrito is among the best finds in the valley. The horchata here has the perfect balance of sweetness and spices.
(4)Brian G.
Just like Sonic I miss this place so much. I have not found a place that can come even close in Boston to the unreal Mexican food "Betos" had 24/7. Nothing beat hitting up Betos after a night of drinking or even hitting it up at 7am for a breakfast burrito. You cannot beat their prices, the breakfast burritos are less than 2 bucks and their bigger and as heavy as a brick. Betos will you and Sonic please move franchises to Boston.
(5)Bonnie S.

I usually stop at this place once a week after work. The food is really good! I Usually get a California burrito or super nachos, they are both delicious. I highly recommend this place if you want fast service and good food.

I'm a Mexican food junkie. Nothing beats a good Carne Asada Burrito or a Bacon, Eggs, n' Cheese Burrito when you got a case of the hangovers. Los Betos is average in satisfying your Mexican food fix. If you're drunk, stop on by and get your favorite post-drinking Mexican dishes. They have what everyone else has. They won't disappoint. When sober, however, you'll notice the inconsistency. The tortillas are sometimes hard and taste days old, the guac is nasty on occasion, the Carne Asada frequently is dry and rough. It's okay Mexican food...unless you're schmammered. Then it's the shiz!

Do not eat here! The food is tasty--greasy, cheesy goodness, but my husband found a piece of plastic like from the top of a bottle or something in his chimichanga. CRAZY. How does that even happen?!?!?

Second time is never the charm. The rolled tacos are still good, but guacamole quality took a dive on this visit. I also tried a chicken tamale and that was inedible and rubbery. Must have caught them on a bad night, but I think they have more of those nights than good nights.

I've had this place two times and so far so good. It's kind of a hidden little gem but I have been very pleasantly surprised. I usually go to filbertos but after finding this place I'll go here from now on. The carne Asada fries are amazinggggg!
(5)KaThy T.
So my friend decided to pick where we'd eat lunch since he was driving. We ended up at Losbetos. We went through the drive-thru which wasn't that long of a wait. I ordered carne asada fries. I totally forgot how big a full order was and didn't think about order a half order. We of course took the food to go. Once we got home, we grubbed. The food wasn't cold, nor was it hot. I guess it was somewhat warm. In general, the food wasn't great, nor was it horrible. My friend concurred. As for the hot sauce, it sucked. It wasn't even spicy at all. Tasted like watered down tomato juice or something. The place looked pretty authentic to me...what a shame. Maybe ordering from here will taste better on another day. That's what my friend said who's a regular. They take credit card, even American Express.
(3)Ryan W.
Went here for a couple of beef tacos the other night. The outside looks a little rough - it's pretty small too. The tacos were great - they came out fresh and not overly greasy. I'd come here again for more tacos and maybe venture into some of their burros.
(3)Lyn C.
Losbetos is the bomb. So dirt cheap and you get so much food. I live across the street so it's super convenient for me which I love! It's open 24 hours which is the shit. I haven't been there at any really odd hours as of yet, but I like knowing I have the option and I also presume I will end up there at some weird hours at some point. They're carne asada, chicken, and huevos rancheros are all soooo good. You will be in a serious food coma after you eat here.

The thing is that I'm spoiled by Filibertos, and they look similar. Last night in Scottsdale, we settled here because how different could they really be? More than I thought! I ordered the chili rellanos burrito, and my friend ordered the beef chimichanga. I'm all about green salsa, but to my disappointment, they 'now charge $1 for salsa.' Boo! They put a couple red in the bag, but I wasn't into paying for more. My burrito had one tiny little pepper in what tasted like a del taco combo burrito, which would be fine, except this one cost twice as much. The deal breaker for me was when I bit into something like a tiny rock that was grinding in my teeth and had to spit it out. I wasn't into finishing it. My friend wasn't into his either. He thought the guacamole might have been mixed with mayo, and it looked pale. We're not picky usually, but sadly this place just didn't satisfy. Sooo two stars for being open 24 hrs and being drive thru, but overall I think I'll bypass this place in the future.

(4)Ryan J.
5 stars for a drive through Mexican food joint?? Eff yes. Basing this solely on the type of restaurant they are, Los Betos is pretty damn good (and affordable too). Monster burritos, cooked up and delivered in the drive through at record breaking pace along with some killer red salsa. I love Los Betos for their quick and easy way of getting me a delicious breakfast burrito on the go when all you really want in the morning (or late at night - they're open 24 hours) is a tasty gut bomb that is Mexican fast food.
(5)Chad M.
Okay food. Beans are sometimes old with a little crustiness. 75% of the time the people have an attitude taking orders... so they get $0 tip most the time.

This has got to be the worst fast food place we have ever been to! Terrible customer service! Terrible prices! Terrible everything. I over heard one of the cooks say something about a cucaracha...now, I can't understand most Spanish but I do know what that word means. For anyone who doesn't, it means cockroach! I immediately lost my appetite! They made my boyfriends food wrong and because of his allergy he requested that they remake it. They put up a huge stink and because the cooks refused, the cashier ended up having to go back there and make it himself. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone.
(1)R B.
Went there last night late for a chile relleno burrito. I craved one and I haven't had theirs yet. It was delicious and had refried beans. I could taste the relleno batter which mixed with the other ingredients well, but there should've been more relleno. Overall great tasting but too much bean. Nice heavy burrito. INSIDE SKINNY: Pay the extra buck for a double handful of watery red salsa shots. Sign on drive-through window. A whole shot at the right time makes a magic mouthful.

They need to give Alejandra a raise. She's the best drive thru worker I've ever come across. She remembered exactly what we liked and wanted on our second visit. She has great memory and amazing people skills. I ordered a vegetable burrito and loved it. This is now my go to mexican spot. It tastes like senor taco only with a cheaper price tag. I only paid $5.75 and it was huge! I'm so full now and somehow I still want more of it because it tasted so good. The horchata was good but they put too much ice in it. Next time I come here I'll try to remember to tell them no ice. The green chilaquiles here are amazing.
(5)Sophia S.
Me and my boyfriend come here all the time just to get chilaquiles. So far this place makes the best chilaquiles! Its very cheap only cost $5.50. This place has one of the best employees by the name of Alejandra also known as Alex. Everytime we come here she is always quick with our meals, she is very kind and communicates great with customers, when I go through the drive thru at restaurants workers are not as kind but Alejandra is kind. Alejandra always has a professional positive attitude and leaves a good impression. I hope she eventually gets acknowledged for her great work effort as a great employee. We will continue to come back she helps brings business with her professionalism and deserves to have a raise in her pay for doing such a excellent job.

As I put the bag on the counter and removed the pollo asado burrito I couldn't help but smile. As I held this monstrosity up to my size 8 head I noticed my head and the burrito were nearly the same size. Yes, the building may have seen better days, and I'm sure things could be much cleaner on the inside. but Betos is a strong value with huge portions and classic flavors. If you are concerned about your waistline, this place isn't for you. This single chicken burrito had as much chicken as 2-2.5 burritos from Chipotle! In the future, I may eat 1/2 for lunch and 1/2 as a midnight snack. As other yelpers have mentioned, yes there is noticeable amounts of grease, lard, and/or trans-fat. Who cares? It's almost refreshing to taste these old school flavors, as you will not find richness like this at the competition. Because I was unaware of these epic portions, I also ordered a chorizo quesadilla for under 5$. This was also nearly comically huge! The chorizo was authentic, well seasoned, and plentiful. The grease level penetrated the fresh tortillas and created another unique rich flavor. What's even more impressive is that I lost track of time studying, and came in for a late dinner around midnight. Everything was perfectly hot and fresh. They even discount there already low prices for tacos on Tuesdays. I don't usually yelp after only a single visit. but this taco stand really punches above its weight.
(4)Josh B.
Green chile means more than one thing, and although I didn't get the New Mexico-esque concoction I hoped for with the green chile burrito, it turns out that the burrito was worth it for the outstanding, juicy pork. Not radically different from carnitas, it reminded me a little of southern pulled pork. The accompanying green sauce was fine, but a bit like anywhere else. However, the red was a powerful recipe that no spice enthusiast should miss. There are no indoor seats, just a couple of outdoor spots at this mostly drive-through venue.
(5)Cyn V.
I'm the kind of gal that needs greasy, cheesy, spicy, yummy goodness after a rough night out. Los betos has been my go to spot for the right kind of cure. My favorite burrito is the California burrito, no pico de gallo, add beans. I order this every time and it does it's trick. I recommend you get this burrito and you'll never go back to a different kind of burrito.
(4)Hadou K.
Real men and women eat at Los Betos. You're here to get some hearty Mexican cookin', and you give no fucks about the 80,000 calories you're about to consume. Diets are for the weak, anyway. You're not on a diet because your body is already a god damned temple, and you're going to worship it by ordering a combo #2, two cheese enchiladas deep fried in lard, an iron fistful of rice, and mountain of beans. Then you're going to wash that shit down with a mother fucking ice-cold beverage. The prices are more than reasonable. That means you got enough cash left over to order another combo #2. And you're a god damn rockstar so do you exactly that. The employees know the deal. They make your food quickly and then they get the hell out of the way. You're hungry and you need to eat NOW. Drive through is available so you don't even need to get out the car while you gorge on the finest Mexican cuisine $6.99 can buy. Live la vida loca, mother fuckers. Eat at Los Betos. Open 24-7.
(5)Kate D.
Im not sure what kind of person checks yelp for a Mexican fast food joint with a drive thru - usually best for after the bar closes. It's what you would expect. Greasy, filling, sauce laden, cheese covered Mexican food in a styrofoam box. 75% of the menu comes out of a deep fryer - these places are on every corner in Scottsdale and are pretty much the same. Not as cheap as they should be but they are sure to fill you up. Seriously - how do you review 5 rolled tacos with cheese...

Absolutely delicious when you're intoxicated. A 50-50 chance being decent or totally gross when you're sober. Los Betos offers a lot of greasy food for cheap, but like any 24-hour drive through Mexican stand in the valley, it's a gamble that you will most likely regret when you wake up in the morning. I used to live a stone throw From Los Betos and ate here way too many times during that period of my life. Like a majority of the patrons, I drove through after a night at the bars or after a late night of working when traditional fast food just wouldn't do it for me. I also probably had a BAC that was pretty close to the legal limit. The staff was always pretty cool and friendly. For better or for worse, one guy even consistently remembered that my usual order was 3 rolled tacos with guacamole and a quesadilla.
(3)Ashley S.
Convenient and delicious. Slightly higher price than other 'drive-thrus' but the portion size is relative. Even at the drive through I wait a little while, but honestly- it's worth it - which says alot! I will definitely keep going back.
(5)Jimmy H.
I love Los Betos. I love all the 24 hour Mexican food places in Arizona. It shocks me that these places don't really work in other parts of the country. I'm writing about this Los Betos because I live within 3 blocks of them. God knows their food has probably lead to a healthy hardening of my 24 year old arteries. I eat here at least once a week, and their food is always pretty amazing. It's just delicious, greasy Mexican food at its best. Watch out for the 2AM rush, as that's when the drunks show up en masse. You will likely have to wait in line, and potentially deal with ridiculous behavior. This pretty much goes for any of these 24 Mexican joints.
(4)Melinda R.
Let me start by saying this place could potentially kill someone. That's alright with me ;) Great if you want a huge greasy breakfast burrito, or a clogged artery. Either way, they're open 24 hours a day, and they're quick to get your order out. I got the chips (plain), and a sausage breakfast burrito to go with the cocktail I made at home. I got through about half of that burrito and was stuffed to the brim. These things are pretty large, but don't let the previous reviews hype up the size. It was a good 12 inches long, and almost 3 inches in diameter. Packed with cheese, sausage, and eggs. My boyfriend ordered the chrizo and told me the chrizo was a bit over cooked (figured maybe they used left overs from the day before) and he would have liked a little more egg in there. It was a good pound of pure chrizo and maybe 1 scrambled egg total in that thing. Nobody got sick. After my breakfast burrito sat in the fridge for 30 minutes and I pulled it back out for a few more bites, it wasn't worth eating. All the grease formed solid, so I trashed it. I'd go back again. Maybe next time I'll clog my arteries with cardne asada tacos. PS: The chips aren't that great. But cocktails make everything delicious. 2 stars goes to food quality 1 star goes to it being open 24 hours
(3)Danielle T.
Love this place to get my late burrito fix. I especially love it after a night out. The place is awesome. Yes, it's greasy but it's yummy. I know, bad, but like I said, yummy. The portion sizes at this place are huge and their food is pretty cheap. I like getting my carne asada burritos as well as a California burrito. I also really enjoy their carnitas burrito, thanks to my friend Jason, and I do like their chorizo burrito when I get in the mood for a breakfast burrito.

Best San Diego style burrito shop this side of the Califoria border.

This is my favorite mexican fast food place in the Old Town, South Scottsdale area, great flavor, good portion sizes. If you want something to finish off a night of partying in Old Town, this place will be open late for you!

5 stars for a drive through Mexican food joint?? Eff yes. Basing this solely on the type of restaurant they are, Los Betos is pretty damn good (and affordable too). Monster burritos, cooked up and delivered in the drive through at record breaking pace along with some killer red salsa. I love Los Betos for their quick and easy way of getting me a delicious breakfast burrito on the go when all you really want in the morning (or late at night - they're open 24 hours) is a tasty gut bomb that is Mexican fast food.
(5)Chad M.
Okay food. Beans are sometimes old with a little crustiness. 75% of the time the people have an attitude taking orders... so they get $0 tip most the time.

This has got to be the worst fast food place we have ever been to! Terrible customer service! Terrible prices! Terrible everything. I over heard one of the cooks say something about a cucaracha...now, I can't understand most Spanish but I do know what that word means. For anyone who doesn't, it means cockroach! I immediately lost my appetite! They made my boyfriends food wrong and because of his allergy he requested that they remake it. They put up a huge stink and because the cooks refused, the cashier ended up having to go back there and make it himself. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Went there last night late for a chile relleno burrito. I craved one and I haven't had theirs yet. It was delicious and had refried beans. I could taste the relleno batter which mixed with the other ingredients well, but there should've been more relleno. Overall great tasting but too much bean. Nice heavy burrito. INSIDE SKINNY: Pay the extra buck for a double handful of watery red salsa shots. Sign on drive-through window. A whole shot at the right time makes a magic mouthful.
(3)Danyell S.
Not too bad for what it is. I usually get three rolled tacos with cheese and guacamole, or a bean and cheese burrito. The service is quick and friendly, but I'm not too keen on the quality of food but its great for late night munchies. Try plain churro :) yum!
(3)C N.
We ordered two breakfast burritos, one without eggs due to allergy, only to find out when we got home they both had eggs! Neither was that tasty, and the two salsa options (red & green) were watery, not spicy or flavorful. Drive-thru only, FYI. So no salsa bar like others. Tortilla not great/seems store-bought, unlike the excellent homemade tortilla shells at Regio's Mexican Food at 1705 E Indian School Rd.

While not as good as Fiesta Burrito, this place is an okay substitute.

Take it from AZ native, best machaca burrito and chicken tacos around. Try the flautas with guacamole, drive thru and go sit in the park to enjoy
(5)Grace O.
My friend lives nearby and really likes this joint. It is very convenient! We don't have drive-through Mexican food in Hawaii...lol. Anyways, I had combo plate of 3 tacos with rice (no beans for me!) I didn't pay attention to the "rolled" before the tacos and was confused as to why I had taquitos. lol. But my husband assured me that they had given me the right thing. It was tasty, nonetheless. Their guacamole tasted a little odd to me, and they plopped on a huuuuuge pool of it onto the tacos, so it overwhelmed the plate a little bit.

Best everything! Best nachos! Best everything! Delicious.

I never thought I'd visit a place such as this without a brain full of alcohol, but recently I discovered the steak and egg burrito here. I put this little guy on my late night rotation (minus the cheese) and I wake up feeling ready to tackle the day (as opposed to the toilet). It probably won't win any awards but it more than adequately serves its purpose. Cheap. Delicious. Man-food.

When I lived in Scottsdale, I used to hit up Los Betos about 3-4 times a month. I always ordered a Carne Asada Quesadilla, with sour cream. After a while, they got used to me ordering it, and would wave to me through the drive thru window. Apparently, I was the only one who ordered this. Anyways, I got to know the staff, even though I couldn't really communicate with them but through broken English and gestures. Friendly crew. Plus, they alway accomodated me with extra hot sauce containers, and I always threw them an extra few bucks. That quesadilla is heaven on earth. Someone else posted about 'being in love,' and I can relate. I seriously cannot go more than a month without one, as I live in Chandler now. But I make it to Scottsdale once in a while, and every time I do, EVERY time, I stop at Los Betos. You put a spell on me.
(4)Peter T.
You want to feel guilty, satisfied and happy come here during the hit of drunken cravings at 2am and its a no fail mmmmmmmm gooooood! The bacon burritos that I've taken in are badges of pride in the form of plaque in my arteries. Totally have accepted it but its alright. Clean kitchen from the viewpoints I can observe with speedy service. That's all I need. After this review Its gonna be time again for another bacon goodness.

I haven't been Yelping much lately...too, too busy! But happily busy (busy means money and while the money may not buy happiness, it will rent you a parking space so that you can park the Bentley and stroll on over to happiness...so more is good!). So I was surprised and delighted to receive a missive from Yelp HQ in my inbox...less so when I broke the seal on my mail and discovered that a photo in one of my reviews had been "flagged by the Yelp Community and removed because it fell outside the photo guidelines" . Which review, you ask?...why the one directly below this one. I thought for a moment about who would flag a small graphic in an obscure review about a third rate taco stand in South Scottsdale...and decided I didn't have a clue! So I went to Los Betos to do a little investigating (and to have lunch...they may be third rate, but they still make delightfully greasy and satisfying rolled taco's...I had three of the little boogers!). As I sauntered up the window (I was going to do drive through, but then I would miss the full Los Betos experience...dining under an umbrella, in the grease vortex that perpetually swirls between Los Betos and Whataburger, plus, I needed to be on foot to do my best Magnum P.I. investigative work). I ordered my rolled tacos and salsa and then asked casually "Hey, have you guys flagged any cute little graphs in a Yelp review of Los Betos, lately?" The sweet little undocumented worker behind the counter either said "¿Quién, yo?" or "do chu wan rice 'n bean"...I can't be sure. In any event, the food was, as always, decent...no one stuck their thumb in my tacos. The service was fine, if incomprehensible (much like the explanation from Yelp HQ, as to why my little graph didn't meet photo guidelines:) The grease was pretty fresh (and now I am lubed for days:) I guess I'll never know the answer to who flagged my little chart, or why (although I have my suspicions about the Bertos/Betos conglomerate and their minions). I was going to take a photo of the grease traps behind Los Betos and post those, since they are an integral part of the restaurant experience when you are sitting outside and subject to the tornado like cloud of cooking gasses and particulates (unlike my small chart which, while accurately describing the crap to good stuff ratio of my meals at Los Betos, apparently doesn't qualify)...but then I decided, maybe I've made enough mischief for one day:) Or not.
(3)Brad S.
Okay, the Betos isn't going to win any international awards for culinary subtlety but dammit if it isn't an institution. And, yes, you'll hear the haters talking the mess about the 'Tos being just for late-night drunken gorging. False. Slander! Their chimichanga, paragon of authentic Northern Mexican cuisine, I know -- is otherworldly in its cheesy, meaty assault. The carne asada burrito -- aka "the donkey dick" -- is abusively delicious, as are the breakfast burritos. AND, as a bonus, I've never gotten ill from eating there in ten or so years of loyal patronage. And to address to accusations of cats being used to supplement the meats, as my buddy once pointed out, "If this is what cat tastes like, it's all good." And don't be fooled -- they're not open on Xmas Day. That's why they get four instead of five stars. Bullshit.
(4)Andrea T.
I LOVE this place. It is usually the first place we stop when we get to Scottsdale and the last place we eat at before heading back home. I spent too much time and money there while a college student, but the food was cheap back then and it is delicious. I can't find the equivalent out here in the San Francisco Bay Area. The carne ascada tacos without beans are what always keeps me coming back. The super nachos are really tasty too! Well, shoot! Now I want that for dinner!
(4)Sarah K.
This joint was GOOD. I don't know about the other reviews saying it was cheap- $20 for a drive through isn't exactly cheap- but good, YES. It was quick and m deeee-lish. The food was fresh and yumo. Bean and rice come with the combos- the burritos were HUGE.
(5)Ceejay Y.
This my fix when I want cheap and easy mexican food quick! open 24 hours, so if your hungry and leaving the club in Scottsdale its nothing to take a cab down the street and get a burrito from this spot I have only tried the breakfast burrito and the California both are delicious.. cant go wrong with 24 hr Mexican food especially this spot..
(4)Mike G.
For cheap, yet delicious Mexican food, especially after a night of drinking... this is the place. They're open 24 hours! Order the Steak Egg and Cheese Burrito. $5.45, and its about the size of a subway foot-long. Packed with steak and cheese... oh man, I think I might go get one for breakfast! *drool*
(5)Joel Y.
What happened to this place. Ordered 2 California burritos and it was disgusting. There was no taste and the meat was debatable. Ordered Carne Asada fries and it tasted like mush as well. Fries were soggy and everything else was lacking flavor. Worst part? I WAS DRUNK WHEN I THOUGHT IT WAS GROSS.. SO YOU KNOW IT WAS PROBABLY PRETTY BAD! AND HOW DID MY BILL END UP BEING $14 FOR 3 ITEMS?! Nachos from Taco Bell would have been a better choice.. damn it. Don't eat here.
(1)Richard Z.
Any of you who read this who have ever been in love will be able to relate: There's a first pang of distress, when the knife blade pierces the skin, when you know you are in for some pain. But the endorphins kick in and you realize that you are in for more than you ever bargained for... At los betos, after a few (5, 10, 20?) drinks, I had the sad misfortune of ordering a carnitas burrito at 220 in the am. And what did I receive, but the most delectable delight ever served in the pinche madrugada ( rejoice, all my spanish speaking compañeros, a cuss word or two to titillate you). The carnitas were cooked to a perfect crispy exterior, while the innards burst forth with a cornucopia of spices and flavors that made my very synapses fire indiscriminately with glee. But, not to be outdone, heartburn would make its own dastardly play for my overwhelmed nerve endings, tearing me from neck to knave with pain. Did I stop, even for one excruciating second? Yes, but only long enough to pour on more green sauce, villainously spicy in a way that no beto, be it fili, rol, or eri, has ever been. Nay, I succumbed to the sweet agony of picante and used that to goad me forth into the foxhole against the onslaught of acid reflux. Each bite brought both more pain, acute, dire, and relentless, but also a sweet symphony of flavors that can only mean guacamole and green sauce replete with all the accoutrements. I fought, and fought back hard, and what I can tell you is this: No burrito has ever caused me such pain and yet no burrito has ever granted me such pleasure. Like a sine curve, plunging predictably from zenith to nadir and back again, los betos has given me the pleasure--nay, the honor, of feeling every physical sensation known to sentient vertebrates. Five glorious, painful, resonating stars. Five harrowing yet riveting stars. Five supernovas, five black holes, five big bangs of taste. The world has never known anything like what I have just experienced. You too can have what I had... all it takes is intestinal fortitude enough to jump in the car with a beer bong and head straight to thomas and hayden. Oh, and leave the zantac at home, puss.
(5)Max A.
I've never been a huge fan of this place although I've been eating here for about a decade or so. Over the years, this place has been hit with multiple health code violations - make no mistake. It's an unclean place. Most of their ingredients come from huge cans or vats - they don't really "make" anything there as far as I know. It's all shitty crappy food. The shredded beef is dry and tough and looks like charred rat tails. I guess when it's the closest mexican food place still open after hours that isn't Taco Hell, it becomes the best option. It's edible and gets the job done, but it's not very good food. I'd never choose to eat there if any other halfway decent mexican food place was open at the time. This place wins by default only. Hell, I'd rather eat at Filibertos and they got busted for serving cat meat. Another charming thing about Los Betos is that they make up the prices in their heads. You could order the same exact thing there every single night of the week and they would charge you seven different prices. It's bizarre, but amusing. Their food is really cheap anyway, so it's not like it matters.
(3)Shannon M.
Seriously the best 3am quesadilla I have ever had. It was big and gooey, with just enough browning on the outside of the tortilla to make it a little bit crisp. As an added bonus it was kind of cold outside, so it made a great hand warmer as well. Why only 3 stars? OK, you do have to sit on some questionable outside picnic tables and I don't want to think about how clean the kitchen may or may not be, but the entertainment value of watching tipsy people stumble around while waiting for their food can't be beat.
(3)Kristen R.
It was almost impossible for me not to stop here on the cab ride back from old town for carne asada fries.mmmm sooo good! I really only went there between the hours of 2-4am but, los betos never let me down.
(4)Josh P.
I don't know what it is about this place. I've been going to Los Betos for years. For some reason it only agrees with me late at night. Anytime I get it between the hours of 9am-11pm, it's disgusting. I love their beef burritos and Super Natchos. Super Natchos weigh at least 3 pounds.
(4)Heather C.
This place really scares me sometimes. I bit into a taco last night and grease literally streamed out the other end. Luckily I'm already on Lipitor.
(3)Angela K.
This location has never screwed up my order, yet they've been quick about getting my food to me. I'm a picky eater and Los Betos has competent staff. What a contrast from most fast food restaurants! Plus the food has always been delicious and inexpensive. I LUV Los Betos!!!
(5)Veronica S.
Great place especially when you are drunk. You can walk right up to it, and order, and for the most part, they get your order somewhat right... if they mess up, it is probably cause you were drunk.
(4)Jason B.
Sometimes you just got to get yourself your sausage burrito fix... and it can't just be any burrito it has to be los betos! So a friend once told me that in order to judge a good burrito it has to be greasy, messy, and stuffed. Yea, los betos is damn right greasy! Once you're halfway done with your burrito it get's really messy, and I think they really fill up those burritos. I gotta admit that we Phoenicians are spoiled with our many drive-thru mexican fast food places and I'm spoiled knowing the greasy goodness of los betos. This is the place to head to after a night of drinking in old town, or simply craving carnitas with the pico and guac. So, these are my recommendations at los betos - try the carnitas burrito coz it's damn greasy and good, and if you're extra hungry, the carnitas supreme with all the fixins. If you want a breakfast burrito, go for the salchicha (sausage) burrito... the eggs, cheese and sausage is mmmmmmmmmmmmm YUM YUM... and finish it off with some horchata or jamaica... oh heaven.
(4)Maggie W.
As soon as I land in Phoenix, I go straight to Los Betos. Having lived there for about a year, it was a staple. Now that I am gone to the East Coast, I can only DREAM about their delicious breakfast burritos. I have read the other reviews, and all I can say that anyone who complains just doesn't appreciate the gem they have there. Is it a pantheon of hygiene, no...but it is a drive through Mexican restaurant that is open 24 hours a day - if you want high class and floors that you can eat off - there are plenty five star restaurants in Scottsdale. Also, as one with food allergies and a penchant for getting food poisoning - I have never, in ten years, gotten sick once from Los Betos. Be warned - one burrito is like a pillow, and the red hot sauce is divine and will knock your socks off with spice. It is a lot of food - but it is worth the calories and the salsa stains. The staff are also always pleasant. In all - my only complaint is that it is so far away from where I live now! The address of the one I love is on the way to the airport or near Fashion Square - at Los Betos Mexican Food 3414 N 24th Street Phoenix AZ 85016 Phone: (602) 954-4749
(5)Dan L.
I used to live right up the street from this restaurant and as a result came here several times. I don't think that there is any way I'd return though. I have literally never felt good after eating here - whether it was a hazy, late night encounter and getting sick in the morning, or more of a standard evening dinner and getting sick at night. Maybe I'm allergic to some sort of special, exclusive ingredient they use...
(2)Lauren M.
I love eating at los betos. My favorite is their chicken enchiladas which I get constantly. They fill my tummy up and taste delicious with their lettuce and chicken and red sauce. When im not in the mood for enchiladas my second favorite item is the green chili burrito which has just enough kick before its overpowering. This place is definitely a hole in the wall but isn't that what makes a dingy little Mexican joint so awesome? The only reason im giving it 4 out of 5 stars is because their food isn't consistent some days their food is really good and other days its just alright.
(4)Jennifer G.
I love this place....and all divey mexican joints for that matter! I was in the area today, and was unfortuantely still full from lunch, so I didn't stop. I used to drive by every morning on my way to work and would go through the drive thru at least 2-3 times a week to pick up breakfast AND lunch. I don't care how dirty their kitchen is....I have never gotten sick, EVER. When I was on a low-carb diet, I would order a burrito, eat the insides and I was still full!!! Now, I fully indulge in the greasy, lard-filled, carb-filled goodness. How can you go wrong with a breakfast combo of scrambled eggs w/ ham, refried beans and fresh tortillas...YUMM!!! I agree that their "hot sauce" is very watery, but it still works. Carne asada, carnitas, pollo asado, it's all good ")
(5)Sina A.
this place sucks. meat tastes like straight asshole!
(1)Jake C.
If you're looking for clean, chic Mexican food, don't go to Los Beto's. But, if you want a messy, cheesy brick of goodness late at night to soak up some booze, look no further. Los Beto's is my favorite 24 hour Mexican food drive thru around. I have heard murmurings of health violations but only for really minor infractions that you would probably expect at a place like this anyway. Like I said, if you want to sit down in a clean restaurant with light ingredients this isn't for you. The Texas Burrito is stuffed with chicken, potatoes and melted cheese. Pour a little salsa on every bite as you go and you're on your way. But, don't eat and drive! I have salsa stains on many a pant that can tell you why not.
(4)Jeff W.
I basically go back and fourth between the carnitas and carne asada burritos. Add a horchata and I'm in heaven for $7.
(5)P. G.
My sweet lord, The Betos! I have had just about every item on the menu (except for maybe the shrimp, I mean I'm not insane) and this place just delivers time and time and time again. It's my first stop whenever I travel back to Arizona. The absurdly delicious breakfast burritos, the shredded beef tacos with roughly 78,000 grams of fat per serving, steak supreme nachos which weigh about 3 pounds, cheese enchilidas...this place has it all, and open 24/7 to boot. The staff is friendly, fast, and helpful, so be a pal and don't be shy about dropping a dollar in the tip jar, these guys earn it.
(5)Peter D.
Typical authentic mexican for these parts. However, if your into the whole fish burrito scene, I suggest you look elsewhere. Not to worry, the shrimp burrito is among the best finds in the valley. The horchata here has the perfect balance of sweetness and spices.
(4)Brian G.
Just like Sonic I miss this place so much. I have not found a place that can come even close in Boston to the unreal Mexican food "Betos" had 24/7. Nothing beat hitting up Betos after a night of drinking or even hitting it up at 7am for a breakfast burrito. You cannot beat their prices, the breakfast burritos are less than 2 bucks and their bigger and as heavy as a brick. Betos will you and Sonic please move franchises to Boston.

The service was fine, if incomprehensible (much like the explanation from Yelp HQ, as to why my little graph didn't meet photo guidelines:) The grease was pretty fresh (and now I am lubed for days:) I guess I'll never know the answer to who flagged my little chart, or why (although I have my suspicions about the Bertos/Betos conglomerate and their minions). I was going to take a photo of the grease traps behind Los Betos and post those, since they are an integral part of the restaurant experience when you are sitting outside and subject to the tornado like cloud of cooking gasses and particulates (unlike my small chart which, while accurately describing the crap to good stuff ratio of my meals at Los Betos, apparently doesn't qualify)...but then I decided, maybe I've made enough mischief for one day:) Or not.

Absolutely delicious when you're intoxicated. A 50-50 chance being decent or totally gross when you're sober. Los Betos offers a lot of greasy food for cheap, but like any 24-hour drive through Mexican stand in the valley, it's a gamble that you will most likely regret when you wake up in the morning. I used to live a stone throw From Los Betos and ate here way too many times during that period of my life. Like a majority of the patrons, I drove through after a night at the bars or after a late night of working when traditional fast food just wouldn't do it for me. I also probably had a BAC that was pretty close to the legal limit. The staff was always pretty cool and friendly. For better or for worse, one guy even consistently remembered that my usual order was 3 rolled tacos with guacamole and a quesadilla.

Convenient and delicious. Slightly higher price than other 'drive-thrus' but the portion size is relative. Even at the drive through I wait a little while, but honestly- it's worth it - which says alot! I will definitely keep going back.

Any of you who read this who have ever been in love will be able to relate: There's a first pang of distress, when the knife blade pierces the skin, when you know you are in for some pain. But the endorphins kick in and you realize that you are in for more than you ever bargained for... At los betos, after a few (5, 10, 20?) drinks, I had the sad misfortune of ordering a carnitas burrito at 220 in the am. And what did I receive, but the most delectable delight ever served in the pinche madrugada ( rejoice, all my spanish speaking compañeros, a cuss word or two to titillate you). The carnitas were cooked to a perfect crispy exterior, while the innards burst forth with a cornucopia of spices and flavors that made my very synapses fire indiscriminately with glee. But, not to be outdone, heartburn would make its own dastardly play for my overwhelmed nerve endings, tearing me from neck to knave with pain. Did I stop, even for one excruciating second? Yes, but only long enough to pour on more green sauce, villainously spicy in a way that no beto, be it fili, rol, or eri, has ever been. Nay, I succumbed to the sweet agony of picante and used that to goad me forth into the foxhole against the onslaught of acid reflux. Each bite brought both more pain, acute, dire, and relentless, but also a sweet symphony of flavors that can only mean guacamole and green sauce replete with all the accoutrements. I fought, and fought back hard, and what I can tell you is this: No burrito has ever caused me such pain and yet no burrito has ever granted me such pleasure. Like a sine curve, plunging predictably from zenith to nadir and back again, los betos has given me the pleasure--nay, the honor, of feeling every physical sensation known to sentient vertebrates. Five glorious, painful, resonating stars. Five harrowing yet riveting stars. Five supernovas, five black holes, five big bangs of taste. The world has never known anything like what I have just experienced. You too can have what I had... all it takes is intestinal fortitude enough to jump in the car with a beer bong and head straight to thomas and hayden. Oh, and leave the zantac at home, puss.

Great place especially when you are drunk. You can walk right up to it, and order, and for the most part, they get your order somewhat right... if they mess up, it is probably cause you were drunk.

I love Los Betos. I love all the 24 hour Mexican food places in Arizona. It shocks me that these places don't really work in other parts of the country. I'm writing about this Los Betos because I live within 3 blocks of them. God knows their food has probably lead to a healthy hardening of my 24 year old arteries. I eat here at least once a week, and their food is always pretty amazing. It's just delicious, greasy Mexican food at its best. Watch out for the 2AM rush, as that's when the drunks show up en masse. You will likely have to wait in line, and potentially deal with ridiculous behavior. This pretty much goes for any of these 24 Mexican joints.

Let me start by saying this place could potentially kill someone. That's alright with me ;) Great if you want a huge greasy breakfast burrito, or a clogged artery. Either way, they're open 24 hours a day, and they're quick to get your order out. I got the chips (plain), and a sausage breakfast burrito to go with the cocktail I made at home. I got through about half of that burrito and was stuffed to the brim. These things are pretty large, but don't let the previous reviews hype up the size. It was a good 12 inches long, and almost 3 inches in diameter. Packed with cheese, sausage, and eggs. My boyfriend ordered the chrizo and told me the chrizo was a bit over cooked (figured maybe they used left overs from the day before) and he would have liked a little more egg in there. It was a good pound of pure chrizo and maybe 1 scrambled egg total in that thing. Nobody got sick. After my breakfast burrito sat in the fridge for 30 minutes and I pulled it back out for a few more bites, it wasn't worth eating. All the grease formed solid, so I trashed it. I'd go back again. Maybe next time I'll clog my arteries with cardne asada tacos. PS: The chips aren't that great. But cocktails make everything delicious. 2 stars goes to food quality 1 star goes to it being open 24 hours

Love this place to get my late burrito fix. I especially love it after a night out. The place is awesome. Yes, it's greasy but it's yummy. I know, bad, but like I said, yummy. The portion sizes at this place are huge and their food is pretty cheap. I like getting my carne asada burritos as well as a California burrito. I also really enjoy their carnitas burrito, thanks to my friend Jason, and I do like their chorizo burrito when I get in the mood for a breakfast burrito.

Okay, the Betos isn't going to win any international awards for culinary subtlety but dammit if it isn't an institution. And, yes, you'll hear the haters talking the mess about the 'Tos being just for late-night drunken gorging. False. Slander! Their chimichanga, paragon of authentic Northern Mexican cuisine, I know -- is otherworldly in its cheesy, meaty assault. The carne asada burrito -- aka "the donkey dick" -- is abusively delicious, as are the breakfast burritos. AND, as a bonus, I've never gotten ill from eating there in ten or so years of loyal patronage. And to address to accusations of cats being used to supplement the meats, as my buddy once pointed out, "If this is what cat tastes like, it's all good." And don't be fooled -- they're not open on Xmas Day. That's why they get four instead of five stars. Bullshit.

Sometimes you just got to get yourself your sausage burrito fix... and it can't just be any burrito it has to be los betos! So a friend once told me that in order to judge a good burrito it has to be greasy, messy, and stuffed. Yea, los betos is damn right greasy! Once you're halfway done with your burrito it get's really messy, and I think they really fill up those burritos. I gotta admit that we Phoenicians are spoiled with our many drive-thru mexican fast food places and I'm spoiled knowing the greasy goodness of los betos. This is the place to head to after a night of drinking in old town, or simply craving carnitas with the pico and guac. So, these are my recommendations at los betos - try the carnitas burrito coz it's damn greasy and good, and if you're extra hungry, the carnitas supreme with all the fixins. If you want a breakfast burrito, go for the salchicha (sausage) burrito... the eggs, cheese and sausage is mmmmmmmmmmmmm YUM YUM... and finish it off with some horchata or jamaica... oh heaven.

As soon as I land in Phoenix, I go straight to Los Betos. Having lived there for about a year, it was a staple. Now that I am gone to the East Coast, I can only DREAM about their delicious breakfast burritos. I have read the other reviews, and all I can say that anyone who complains just doesn't appreciate the gem they have there. Is it a pantheon of hygiene, no...but it is a drive through Mexican restaurant that is open 24 hours a day - if you want high class and floors that you can eat off - there are plenty five star restaurants in Scottsdale. Also, as one with food allergies and a penchant for getting food poisoning - I have never, in ten years, gotten sick once from Los Betos. Be warned - one burrito is like a pillow, and the red hot sauce is divine and will knock your socks off with spice. It is a lot of food - but it is worth the calories and the salsa stains. The staff are also always pleasant. In all - my only complaint is that it is so far away from where I live now! The address of the one I love is on the way to the airport or near Fashion Square - at Los Betos Mexican Food 3414 N 24th Street Phoenix AZ 85016 Phone: (602) 954-4749

I used to live right up the street from this restaurant and as a result came here several times. I don't think that there is any way I'd return though. I have literally never felt good after eating here - whether it was a hazy, late night encounter and getting sick in the morning, or more of a standard evening dinner and getting sick at night. Maybe I'm allergic to some sort of special, exclusive ingredient they use...

I love eating at los betos. My favorite is their chicken enchiladas which I get constantly. They fill my tummy up and taste delicious with their lettuce and chicken and red sauce. When im not in the mood for enchiladas my second favorite item is the green chili burrito which has just enough kick before its overpowering. This place is definitely a hole in the wall but isn't that what makes a dingy little Mexican joint so awesome? The only reason im giving it 4 out of 5 stars is because their food isn't consistent some days their food is really good and other days its just alright.

I love this place....and all divey mexican joints for that matter! I was in the area today, and was unfortuantely still full from lunch, so I didn't stop. I used to drive by every morning on my way to work and would go through the drive thru at least 2-3 times a week to pick up breakfast AND lunch. I don't care how dirty their kitchen is....I have never gotten sick, EVER. When I was on a low-carb diet, I would order a burrito, eat the insides and I was still full!!! Now, I fully indulge in the greasy, lard-filled, carb-filled goodness. How can you go wrong with a breakfast combo of scrambled eggs w/ ham, refried beans and fresh tortillas...YUMM!!! I agree that their "hot sauce" is very watery, but it still works. Carne asada, carnitas, pollo asado, it's all good ")

this place sucks. meat tastes like straight asshole!

If you're looking for clean, chic Mexican food, don't go to Los Beto's. But, if you want a messy, cheesy brick of goodness late at night to soak up some booze, look no further. Los Beto's is my favorite 24 hour Mexican food drive thru around. I have heard murmurings of health violations but only for really minor infractions that you would probably expect at a place like this anyway. Like I said, if you want to sit down in a clean restaurant with light ingredients this isn't for you. The Texas Burrito is stuffed with chicken, potatoes and melted cheese. Pour a little salsa on every bite as you go and you're on your way. But, don't eat and drive! I have salsa stains on many a pant that can tell you why not.
(4)Jeff W.
I basically go back and fourth between the carnitas and carne asada burritos. Add a horchata and I'm in heaven for $7.

My sweet lord, The Betos! I have had just about every item on the menu (except for maybe the shrimp, I mean I'm not insane) and this place just delivers time and time and time again. It's my first stop whenever I travel back to Arizona. The absurdly delicious breakfast burritos, the shredded beef tacos with roughly 78,000 grams of fat per serving, steak supreme nachos which weigh about 3 pounds, cheese enchilidas...this place has it all, and open 24/7 to boot. The staff is friendly, fast, and helpful, so be a pal and don't be shy about dropping a dollar in the tip jar, these guys earn it.
(5)Peter D.
Typical authentic mexican for these parts. However, if your into the whole fish burrito scene, I suggest you look elsewhere. Not to worry, the shrimp burrito is among the best finds in the valley. The horchata here has the perfect balance of sweetness and spices.
(4)Brian G.
Just like Sonic I miss this place so much. I have not found a place that can come even close in Boston to the unreal Mexican food "Betos" had 24/7. Nothing beat hitting up Betos after a night of drinking or even hitting it up at 7am for a breakfast burrito. You cannot beat their prices, the breakfast burritos are less than 2 bucks and their bigger and as heavy as a brick. Betos will you and Sonic please move franchises to Boston.
