The Unique Restaurant In Arizona Where Every Order Comes With A Free Fresh-Baked Cookie

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.

The restaurant started off in the most humble way possible, setting up shop in a 1,000-square-foot building that could only seat 16 guests at a time.

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.

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!
