F
or mexican food lovers in the West Valley, here are two new developments making their way to local cities to expand their chains and share their customer favorites with more parts of the valley.
Federico’s opens 25th Arizona location
IN THE BIZ
Location: 220 N. 83rd Avenue, Tolleson The West Valley just got even more delicious with the opening of a new Federico’s Mexican Food location on the corner of 83rd Avenue and Van Buren. Federico’s offers a great fastfood option for workers and families in the area with lunch specials and taco Tuesday deals, and is open 24 hours per day. Co-owned by Isidro Araiza, Ricardo Araiza and Carlos Vazquez, the new location looks very different from other Federico’s restaurants, with an elevated design aesthetic by Merge Architectural Group in Phoenix. The building is 2,000 square feet and features a beautiful wood linear façade that looks beautiful and elegant in the Sonoran Desert. “We’re so happy to bring our food to the city of Tolleson and hope to contribute greatly to the economy in this area. Everything at Federico’s is prepared daily, never frozen, and our drive-thru is open 24 hours a day. We Public Notices ............... page 2 © Copyright, 2022 West Valley View, Inc.
offer friendly service to all and invite the local community in Tolleson to come out and give us a try,” Isidro said. The first Federico’s Mexican Food location opened in 2005 on 43rd Avenue in Phoenix. Today, there are 25 locations across the West, North and Central valleys. What sets Federico’s apart from other fast-food style Mexican restaurants is the quality and freshness of the food paired with exceptional customer service, cleanliness and affordability. Three more Federico’s locations are in the early stages of construction, with plans to be open in early 2023, located in Phoenix and Goodyear. “Federico’s continues to thrive in today’s market because we are committed to making and serving high-quality, fresh and affordable Mexican food. We strive to offer excellent customer service and clean restaurants that our community enjoys,” office manager Idalia Rios said. The menu at Federico’s is packed with fan-favorite comfort foods like the famous carne asada burrito, super nachos, quesabirria tacos and aguas frescas.

The popular chain of Mexican customizable plate restaurants is placing another location in Goodyear, which is currently under construction. Known for its sourcing of fresh food, Chipotle promises its customers no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives and never-frozen food. Customers can see all 53 ingredients used by the restaurant on the company’s website, as a commitment to its fresh promise. The main menu items include burritos, burrito bowls, tacos, salads and quesadillas, where customers have the option to customize with their favorite meats, cheeses and toppings. Chipotle also has a commitment to sustainability with an effort to divert 50% of its waste from landfills and began a pilot program in 2018 to recycle used plastic gloves into waste bags it uses in its own restaurants. The company recently opened its 30,000th Arizona location in February and plans to open 200 more locations this year, including the Canyon Trails location. For more information, visit chipotle. com.
