I absolutely love Banditos! sometimes just my partner and I go, they get the individual tacos, I get the spicy shrimp burrito bowl! I always get a margarita, they have a selection if different flavors, all delicious, but my favorite is the hibiscus
I used to really love this place, before their most recent expansion. After that it seemed the quality of food dropped significantly. The atmosphere with the larger space is also much worse. Before, many thanks to the smaller size, it felt more intimate and it was easy to have a conversation. With the bigger space everything echoes much more and it just feels bland and kind of empty. All in all, not great. If you want great Mexican go to La Regia.
Ordered some of the perez family tacos. Would compare them to tasty tacos out of des moines. Pretty good, but very greasy. Definitely need some hot sauce if you're a spice guy. They did give me a massive container of salsa and the portion size was pretty good for the money. Overall I would give 9/10, we'll round up to a 5 star for the salsa. Have heard from friends that their burritos are also top notch.
