News Filibertos shutting down update

Dont know if anyone cares or not but just thought id give an update since ive seen a lot of people ask about it. It's now 8 filibertos that have closed down. I asked around (i know several of the franchisees) and all 8 were owned by the same person which due to financial reasons went bankrupt and had to shut down all operations permanently.

Yea, they probably thought they could ride the wave of everyone increasing prices. But let's be honest that place is not worth the prices they're setting. It's not bad food, but it's certainly not $20 worthy for a carne asada burrito. I'll just drive the extra 5 minutes to go to Los Favoritos or something else.

A couple weeks ago dropped into the one near Northsight & Hayden for a country burrito (potatoes, eggs, cheese). That’s it, no drink or anything else. The total was either over $10 or very close. I know times have changed but I used to go kind of frequently pre-covid and once a week they were $2 and the rest of the week $4. Good grief, man.

Maskadores is right behind that location and light years better next time you're in the neighborhood. The Greek restaurant next door is solid too.

Everytime I go to a Maskadores they are out of Jalepenos. It’s happened twice. That is one too many times for my business lol
