One of the most unique restaurants in Arizona not only features a blend of Chinese, Mexican, and Jamaican cuisines, but also includes a free, fresh-baked snickerdoodle cookie with each order. Chino Bandido in Phoenix offers a truly unparalleled dining experience that your taste buds will crave again and again.
Featured multiple times on the Food Network's hit show Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, Chino Bandido has made quite a name for itself since it first opened in 1990.
Thanks to the unwavering support of the community, however, they were able to expand year by year, eventually acquiring a 6,000-square-foot building that's just as much a hangout spot as it is a place to dine.

You'll be hard-pressed to find a restaurant with a menu more unique than that of Chino Bandido.
Featuring a blend of Mexican and Asian cuisines (with a little Jamaican flair thrown in to keep things interesting), this innovative concept lets patrons chow down on everything from jerk chicken to quesadillas.
The ordering process is simple: either opt for a rice bowl with one protein and one base, or go with a Chino Combo, which features two proteins and two bases.
You can also turn your Chino Combo into a burrito or quesadilla if desired, or build your own combo with one or two proteins and rice and/or beans. A la carte items are also available, as is a kids menu.
As if the restaurant didn't have enough going for it already, every order comes with a free, fresh-baked snickerdoodle cookie!
