Tortas Chano– Anthem Arizona

March 3 and March 10, 2016

Formerly Roberto’s this is one of our favorite places in Phoenix but since last year they changed their name to Tortas Chano. We again talked to Roger the owner for a bit and he was very excited to see us again and he told us how nothing has changed besides the name and the picture on the salsa jar. The name is the same as the restaurant their family has in Mexico. This trip we made sure we were there on a Thursday to get their tamales.  
 
I ordered one red beef and one green chili corn tamale with rice and beans. The tamales were excellent as usual, previously I wasn’t sure which was better, but for this day anyways I thought the green one was better.

 A week later we decided to come back and get some more tamales. We got there fairly early and thought for sure they have tamales, but they said they were all out which was quite disappointing. But I figured this gave me a chance to try something else off their menu that I might not otherwise would have ordered.
 
 
My dad ordered a chimichanga
 
 
 
and mom ordered a Carne Asada torta.  I really wasn’t sure what I should get, but I eventually settled on two Carne Asada tacos. The guy at the counter who is actually Roger’s son asked if I wanted guacamole and I said yes.
 
 
I got two tacos and you would think it wouldn’t be too much food but they were fully loaded and you definitely got your money’s worth. These were quite good tacos. The carne asada was good, the tortillas were pretty good and I really liked having the guacamole and the pico de gallo on top of everything.
 
We also ordered some chips and salsa and when our food was delivered they asked if we want to try the green salsa so we did that. This was an alright green tomatillo salsa but I think I like the red better. These tacos were quite tasty but still not as good as their tamales.

This place has a new name, but has a same great tamales and other Mexican food.
