The overview

Chinese-Mexican plates that shouldn't work and do. Since 1990.

Chino Bandido has been mashing up Chinese, Mexican and Caribbean flavors in Phoenix since 1990 — a wildly original menu where you can pair Jade Red chicken with a machaca burrito and a scoop of fried rice, and every plate comes with a free snickerdoodle. There's genuinely nothing else like it.

A one-of-a-kind Phoenix favorite for over 30 years, Chino Bandido is the 2025 Centurion Award winner.
