By now, Arizonans know you can’t judge a book (or a restaurant) by its cover, and that’s especially true of this little roadside burrito shack found in Mesa. Every once in a while that one roadside shack will open up and the food is so good that people wait in line to get an order in. THIS is that place!
The Burrito Shack is a family-owned, roadside icon that many people drive right on by. But for others… the quirky appearance is part of the irresistible appeal.

There is ample seating inside the unassuming little shack, and a window outside where you order your food.

The same goes for the roadside outdoor seating. Comfy…

Obviously Burrito Shack is the King of burritos, but they also serve Enchiladas, Tacos, and more, including breakfast!
