Arizona Eatery Named 'Best Fast-Food Restaurant' In The State

Fast food can take out a lot of the work that comes with planning a full meal, but just because a fast-food restaurant may be a convenient and often more cost-effective option doesn't mean you have to compromise on flavor or a meal that packs a punch.

Using reviews, awards and accolades as well as first-hand experience, LoveFood compiled a list of the restaurant in each state that serves the best fast food, from "fabulous no-frills food trucks [to] hole-in-the-wall gems, and mom-and-pop restaurants."

According to the site, the best fast-food restaurant in all of Arizona is Carolina's Mexican Food, a popular eatery dishing out incredible Mexican favorites like the raved-about chimichangas. Carolina's Mexican Food has several locations around Arizona. Find your nearest one by visiting the website .

Here's what LoveFood had to say about the best fast-food restaurant in the entire state:

"Arizona is said to be the birthplace of the chimichanga, so for this state our pick had to be Carolina's Mexican Food, a no-frills eatery that's been serving up exceptional quality fast food since 1968. The menu is short and sweet; the shredded chicken tacos and beef tamales are top notch, but it's the chimichangas that people really talk about. The deep-fried tortilla is perfectly crisp without being greasy, and the fillings (shredded machaca beef or chicken) are packed with flavor."
