Gadzooks Enchiladas and Soup

Lunch HIT THE SPOT for my wife and I today ... Gadzooks is always really delicious, but for some reason they hit it out of the park today. I had two enchiladas, one beef and one chicken and my wife had two stuffed poblanos with their very tasty mashed potatoes. We both enjoyed sweet and spicy corn bread as our sides. We have really enjoyed Gadzooks since stopping by the Arcadia location for the very first time about 18-months ago. Gilbert is our go to now since it has opened, much closer to home for us.

Gadzooks is a cool dining experience for made to order enchiladas with excellent food. I love the concept of selecting your own meat and toppings, including bison, and then having it cooked right in front of you. The locations vary quite a bit, however this one in Epicenter is very well run. I recommend the enchiladas with bison and red sauce or pulled chicken and green sauce. The food is reasonably priced and load up on toppings since they are included and get creative. There is plenty of indoor seating and the service was very good. Make sure to try the homemade cornbread as it is their specialty!

I love Gadzooks! Whenever I have a craving for enchiladas, I always hit up Gadzooks in Gilbert. I appreciate that they stay open until 10 PM from Monday to Saturday, and until 8 PM on Sundays. It's the newest location, though it's been around for a year or so now. The restaurant is clean, the ingredients are fresh, and the service is excellent.Gadzooks is a fast-casual restaurant specializing in enchiladas and soup. They also serve tacos, salads, and more. You have the option to customize your enchiladas by selecting your favorite fillings as you move down the line.My favorite is Jared's Enchiladas which comes with 50/50 tortillas, one cornbread enchilada, one jack potato enchilada, green sauce, both cheeses, guacamole, pico, honey vinaigrette slaw, house buttermilk, and cotija cheese. I like to add an egg. It's sooo good and has a nice kick!I will definitely be back, especially when the weather cools down.

I was the only one here and I'm surprised the food was great and great quality. They did forget a fried egg and the cornbread on the side but so did I until I sat down. I will be back but be alittle more watchful of the things I ask for. The flavors were great and glad I came.

Love Gadzooks, been going for years to their Phx location and thrilled they opened this one closer to me. Location is in Agritopia near Air Guitar. My favorite is their tacos and nachos but sometimes a good ole enchilada is a must have. Custom made to order, I recommend the 50/50 (corn/flour) tortillas. But you can get straight up corn if that is your jam. Their proteins are fantastic, maybe someBison, chicken or beef. I love their cornbread in a taco or on my nachos or if doing an enchilada (spinach/mushroom) yum!!!! Go with both sauces and load up on those condiments, like the pickled red onions, the slaw and make it a party. I love to take the enchiladas home as it allows time for that 50/50 to soak up the sauce. It is definitely worth a visit. Go try this Phoenix and suburbs small business!

Interesting concept. Kind of like a chipotle for soup. You pick a soup base, then add protein and veggies to make it your own. I enjoyed the beef, chicken and cooked Spinach with mine. Only complaint was a big bowl for 2 ladels of soup broth. Good flavor.

I can't say enough about how good this place is. The pool boy taco is a staple in my diet. If you have the chance to eat here, do it!

I always like the option to choose my own fillings and toppings. The lunch special is a good deal because for $15 I was able to get the enchiladas, one side and a fountain drink. Unfortunately I found the black bean side too spicy for my liking, but I'm aware that I'm a spice wimp. For my enchiladas I chose the half corn/half flour tortillas and found those to be good. I liked the chicken meat but found the beef filling to be nothing special and pawned that enchilada off on my husband. The green sauce was a good choice for me (spice wimp) as it had good flavor but wasn't overly spicy. I did like that you could add items to your dish like cotija cheese or crema. While I'm not sure I'll return to Gadzooks, I did appreciate the very nice, helpful guy who explained the choices and ingredients to us while we ordered.

I come to AZ annually to visit my in-laws, go hiking, and try tacos from as many different places as possible. I wasn't able to try anything here. I walked in, waited literally ten minutes while observing the staff chit-chatting with each other. I know they saw me because one of them filled up a few of the condiment trays along the food assembly line. I used to wait tables and know its a hard job, so I tried to be very patient. But once one of the staff looked right into my eyes and then proceeded yapping in the back with her coworkers, I decided enough was enough and I walked out. I've worked hard and thankless jobs before. It sucks. You pick and choose your spots. But you didn't leave customers hanging. Bad choice. Probably explains this place's poor rating despite a very tasty-sounding menu that I really wanted to experience. I won't bother with that again.If you want tacos and are in this area, walk another 300 yards to Backyard Taco. Yes it's a chain but they're SUPER NICE and very focused on ... actually selling food to their customers. And the tacos are pretty dang good for a chain.

Great service and great food! Similar set up to a chipotle where you pick from a variety of options but honestly the options here at gadzooks are way better and more flavorful. Highly recommend!
