Description

Funky spot offering a hybrid of Asian bowls and fast-food Mexican cuisine that boasts a pistol-packin', sombrero-wearin' Pancho Villa-like panda for a mascot, appropriately named "Pancho Panda." Chino's Sino-Latino culinary creations include chile relleno and spicy jade red chicken on rice, but you can also get burritos and quesadillas here, too. For dessert there are snickerdoodle cookies, just like you used to get in junior high.

Not digging the bowl... More »

"Pancho Panda" is the mascot for the PHX's Chinese-Mexican fast-food restaurant Chino Bandido Takee-Outee, and Chino pictures the fun-lovin' critter seated on the floor with legs spread wide, a huge grin on...

Fusion food done right is often a rarity. If you're not careful, you'll end up with some horrible interbreeding of confused flavors and poorly masked-Americanization, along with an unjustified price t... More »
