OK even us foodies and health nuts get caught out there hungry and no where good to go late at night. That is if you think 9pm is late.  So you find yourself subjected to second rate food at fast food places.  This is really when I start to get homesick for the Big Apple. You can still get great food past 9pm even if it is cheap and fast in NYC.  \n\nWhen I moved from NY almost 4 years ago, the fact that Mexican food was so abundant here was enough to have me salivating on a regular basis.  Not just any Mexican food but the REAL thing.  Yippee for my move.  Great Mexican food here I come.  So I decided to get the consensus from people and I kept hearing about Filiberto's.  OK not hard to find they are sprinkled all over the valley.  Late one night I end up in the drive through of Filibierto's in East Mesa.  I really can not remembered what I ordered but I do remember it being awful.  I chalk it up to late night cooks.  Hey who wants to make tacos at 1am? My next encounter is lunch rush in Tempe.  Eh nothing to write home about.  \n\nI have frequented different locations and still nada.  There is one item that I do like, the bean tostada.  But honestly how can you mess up a bean tostada?  Tonight I decided to live on the edge, ordering my usual AND a side of guacamole.  Hey, this is a Mexican restaurant the guacamole has to be good...NOT.  It was bland, too creamy and just down right YUCK.  That was the last straw for me.  \n\nIf you are stuck in the wee hours of the night and you must have Mexican food then at your own risk go to Filiberto's.  I would rather take my chances with Taco-Bell.
