I LOVE this restaurant!!! The food is amazing and you get a HUGE portion of food. Totally worth the buck you spend! I love that they are open late for my late night cravings. The staff is wonderful and the restaurant is clean with a warm vibe. The service is always fast. I totally would recommend this restaurant!!

I’ve ordered from this location a few times and have not been once disappointed. Best fresh ingredients and portions. I’ve had other meals but the Chimichanga plate has been my favorite. Definitely recommend over the other 24hr Mexican food spots. The guys working at night were cool peoples to help when I forgot to add salsa to my order.

Best menudo by a restaurant in Arizona! It is 85% to being the same as my mother (who lives in another state) makes. The menudo is a large container that is enough for two individuals. It has plenty of meat & hominy & enough red pepper to make it taste good without being spicy. On the side, it comes with the lemon, chopped onion & cilantro, oregano, chili pepper flakes and of course, the corn tortillas. We lived in Phoenix and happened upon Federico's my chance and then moved to Tucson. We make a special trip to Frederico's (only the one at 101 & Cave Creek Rd.) just to go get menudo when I'm craving it. It definitely satisfies my desire for it until I can make my own!

The customer service here is always top-notch, but last night was next level! Around midnight, the guy at the window had us laughing the whole time and really made our day. Highly recommend!

Got the chorizo and potatos breakfast burrito and it was seriously the best! I could tell it was made fresh and it was so tasty. The salsas were on point as well. You have to try the huevos ranchero burrito.Love this location

I have been eating the F-Bertos type of Mexican food since it arrived in the Valley back in 1996-ish. The main one everyone knows has just gone insane with pricing, especially on sides like cheese or sour cream. This little shop I have stopped st for years, and honestly took it for granted. The food is always great. The people are always awesome, and the pricing is fair. It's not 2.50 for SC to be added. I highly recommend this restaurant. Forgot pictures because it was soon good. A
