Burros & Bowls, a fast-casual Mexican eatery, has opened on Country Club just north of Main in downtown Mesa.
It takes over the longtime Taco Bell building that recently has housed a series of short-lived restaurants, including 5 Star BBQ, SuperBurrito, La Palapa, and Sodalicious.
Burros & Bowls is a sibling of a San Diego restaurant called Burros & Fries and offers mostly the same large menu.
Featured are more than 20 burritos (most $6.49-$8.49) and eight kinds of loaded fries (most $6.49-$8.49), as well as tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, and nachos.
(Pictured above: The Hot Cheetos Burro, $7.49.)
Sides include rice, beans, and ‘‘hot carrots.’’ (See menu)
Drinks include fountain sodas and aguas frescas. No alcohol is served.
