    Neon Green Salsa Verde

    Me and my family were visiting my grandparents in Tucson, Arizona and my grandma recommended this place to us for Mexican food nearby. We checked online and the reviews looked alright, but when I looked on yelp it gave a more honest perspective, so please listen!! Also, FYI, we are from Chicago- a city that has hundreds of really good mexican places- so we expected this place, only an hour away from Mexico, to be pretty good. SPOILER: it wasn't. It started off with average/okay service when taking our orders, a little confusion but overall easy and quick. The total added up to $120 which was unexpected as we thought this was a relatively cheaper place, but regardless we didn't want to assume the worst. We ordered 6 large horchatas for each member of our family, but when they served us they only had enough for 4 large cups and told us the other two would be out soon. This is where everything took a wrong turn; the horchata was extremely grainy and felt like you were drinking sandy water. I have had grainy horchata before but this was nothing like that, and remotely undrinkable. I gave it to my dad and asked to get a different drinks instead of the last two horchatas. The server said sure then unexpectedly instructed me to just grab the drink myself from the fridge behind the counter. This didn't bother me but just felt weird since the restaurant wasn't busy at all and she wasn't the only one working. Then the food was brought out and as much as I wanted to forget everything before and just enjoy my food, I found a hair in my food that was neither the color nor length of my hair. The birria I got was not a conventional birria taco; the tortilla was not dipped, there was no consome on the side, and the meat seemed to be the only thing that was dipped in the consome. After both of these things, I was not thrilled to eat but I went up to the salsa bar, which was closed and hard to find until the server told us where it was. The salsa bar had only 3 spoons and 1 tongs for 8 different toppings and to serve myself I had to wipe off one spoon and dip into another. The salsa verde I poured was very bright green and was extremely spicy that had no flavor but intense spice. Overall, I could tell that this place seemed to be struggling or going through a rough time, but restaurants should still be able to serve average food and this restaurant wasn't even sub-par. I would avoid this place if you are looking for really good, cheap, authentic Mexican food. If you need a quick bite, this will do, but be weary.

    Thank you Yelp for this travel find. Starving from driving all day down to Tucson, AZ. Looked up Yelp for authentic Mexican and found this basic hole in the wall/strip mall joint with tasty authentic food, hot salsa and fast service. Do ask for the hot sauce (it is not on the salsa bar, it is house made and popping!) We only used half the lil cup and took it with us to enjoy on eggs the next day. Very complex and unique hot sauce. Great road stop!

    Hidden gem. Closes at 6:00 pm. May be the best Mexican food in Tucson, the best in Cortaro Farms for sure. Fantastic Aboda beef, Mexican hot dogs, fresh chips in very causal atmosphere. All run by a small local family. Come out and support them today!

    Authentic tacos. The meat is fresh and you get a massive quantity on the tacos. I tried the asada, chicken, and beef and potato. All were delicious and had just cabbage, which was just enough to bring out the flavor of the meat and not mask it. The salsa was made in house and while it had a bite, wasn't too spicy to use. Overall just legit tacos in a random shopping center, but worth a stop. Overall great food, giving it 4 because the kitchen staff were not wearing masks (although the person at the register was).

Our server/bartender took great care of us, he offered us drinks, took our food order and made my hubby a really good Margarita, The Frida Margarita, he said it was bomb! I ordered a beer and it came with a chilled glass and lime wedge. We decided on the flautas and the mole enchiladas. Both fantastic, tasty and hearty! I got full with two enchiladas so I donated the third to my hubby, which he was super happy to eat. I have to say, the mole sauce was decadent and full of flavors. It really reminded me of my grandmas mole. It also left a delicious numbing (very slight) on my lips. Perfect balance of nutty, spicy, almost semi sweet goodness. Gorgeously prepared and looked almost too good to eat. Almost..... The place was full, we were still able to have a conversation. It was amazing. Will definitely be back to continue to enjoy the carefully curated menu. Everyone seemed happy and relaxed! This screams a great place to work and obviously enjoy. Well done La Frida! Well done!

The staff where beyond amazing, especially the woman who made our complementary salsa right at the table. And the salsa was yummy but sadly that's the only part of the meal that I can say that about. The thing is, nothing was truly bad, but just about everything was incredibly bland. You'd have expected someone who puts raisins in potato salad to have served it, not an authentic Mexican restaurant. Though the positive is the lack of seasoning is really the only major problem. The food did not have any weird taste, it wasn't dry, the presentation was fine. It simply needs to be seasoned and this place goes to a solid 4/5 rather than a three.

Located in downtown Tucson, this iconic restaurant is full of character and beautifully decorated. We visited on a Saturday around 1 PM without a reservation and were told there would be a wait since the place was packed. They only have air conditioning in the indoor dining areas and basement, not on the outdoor patio. Luckily, we were seated in the basement, which turned out to be perfect. The service was commendable truly some of the sweetest and most attentive service we've experienced in a long time. We started with freshly made chips and salsa, which were an instant hit. For drinks, we ordered the El Tamarindo, Mangopeno, and Monica's Cafetini. For food, we chose the Vegan Jackfruit Taquitos Trio and the Fresh Corn Tamale Platter, which came with a side of squash. The drinks were excellent, with the Mangopeno being my favorite. But the real star of the meal was the tamale platter. Oh my goodness it was absolutely delicious! Everyone at the table kept digging in and couldn't get enough. Even the squash side was so flavorful that we ordered an extra serving. The vegan jackfruit taquitos were a bit too deep-fried for our liking and didn't quite compare to the incredible tamales. To finish, we shared a caramel flan, which was the perfect sweet ending to the meal. The pricing was very reasonable, the service was exceptional, and the food was memorable. We will definitely be back again if only for those amazing tamales!

Honestly, I wish I could give Yaquesita a little more, maybe half a star more, because this place definitely has potential. Their flavors are good, but compared to similar restaurants the menu feels a bit overpriced. For a party of three we ended up paying around $100, which felt like a bit much for what we got. The restaurant itself is pretty small with only about 3-4 tables inside, but the patio is a decent size and has a cute vibe. It's actually a nice option on cooler days if you don't mind sitting outside. Some items were better than others. The wet-style burrito was delicious and definitely a highlight. The quesabirrias were good, however the birria felt more like fancier shredded beef. It was missing that rich, spicy, slightly acidic, earthy flavor that usually sets birria apart from barbacoa or traditional shredded beef dishes. The bowl was just okay and had lots of lettuce. It felt more like a salad with a bit of meat, rice, and beans. Honestly, Chipotle does bowls better, and that says a lot considering the price. The nachos were good, but I've had better. Seis Kitchen has amazing nachos to share. That said, it's definitely a place I'd come back to mainly out of convenience, not because one particular item on the menu won my heart. I really do hope they continue refining the menu because the flavors are there and this place could easily become a standout spot. Personally I just think at the total price of my ticket other restaurants should not even have room in my mind during my meal. If you're in the area and looking for a safe bet where everyone will probably find something they like, it's worth giving them a try.
