Lunch with my girlfriends is a highlight of my week. Today's adventure was Eclectic Cafe, at the…read morecorner of Sabino Canyon and Tanque Verde. Neither of us had been there in quite a while and were looking forward to it. The restaurant is clean and spacious and we were seated right away and given menus. Eclectic is a perfect name. Everyone should be able to find something that appeals: sandwiches, egg dishes, salads, Mexican, and more. I'd been craving a Rueben and my friend decided to try the taco salad, which is on the seasonal menu. The waiter complimented my choice, saying the Rueben is the best thing on the menu and likely the best Rueben I've ever had, so I was excited. He offered sweet potato fries as an add-on, and I took the offer. Our food arrived soon. I am a bit late on the photos, sorry. A couple bites are gone from my sandwich and the top layer of my friend's salad was already gone. The salad was billed as chicken, beans, cheese, and a host of others things, packed into a generously-sized bowl. She was sure the meat was pork based on taste and color and asked the waiter, but he said it was chicken. My sandwich was plump with corned beef, cheese and sauerkraut. It had lots of tasty sauce but the bottom bread was so soggy that it disintegrated and was difficult to eat. I ended up separating the breads, scraped all the good stuff onto the crispy side of bread, and it was good. I was getting full, so just ate the insides of the second half, so didn't deal with the other soggy toast. The sweet potato fries were lightly crispy and should have been served hot.they did taste good and came with a dipping sauce I enjoyed. All in all, it was a nice lunch out, great company, but the food was nothing special. My sandwich, fries, her salad, two soft drinks came to $54 plus tip.

Sunday breakfast at Frida's Cafe was such a neat start to the day! We ordered the Frida Huevo…read moreRancheros (wish the sauce was a bit thicker), Desayuno Huas Teco (the ham and eggs were yummy), a short stack of pancakes (which were perfectly fluffy), and a side of fresh fruit (nicely arranged)--everything was pretty tasty overall. The restaurant wasn't very busy, so we enjoyed a relaxed atmosphere, the prices were reasonable, and our waitress was friendly and attentive. The Frida Kahlo-inspired décor was bright, colorful, and fun--it added a unique vibe that made the experience feel special. Overall, a solid choice for a tasty, laid-back breakfast spot in Tucson that didn't seem impossible to get into like some other places on the weekend. Will add it to the rotation for the future.

Saturday morning brunch invite at Prep & Pastry on Grant... and let me just say, I'm very glad I…read moresaid yes to this one. I had previously been to their Campbell location, so this time I wanted to try something completely different for breakfast. I went with the Monte Cristo with a side of their potatoes, and wow this dish absolutely delivered. First, the bread. It's thick, almost like Texas toast, which gives the whole sandwich a perfect structure. Inside, it's stuffed with delicious ham and melty cheese, then battered and cooked into that classic Monte Cristo style. The outside is crispy, the inside is soft and gooey, and every bite is full of flavor. It's the kind of breakfast that makes you pause for a second after the first bite because you know you made the right choice. And the potatoes... how do you make something as simple as potatoes taste that good? They're small, perfectly cooked, and somehow packed with flavor in every bite. My friend ordered the Duck Confit Skillet and she was definitely not disappointed. Just the presentation alone makes it look incredible, but the flavors are where it really shines. It's made with braised duck, shallots, spinach, cabernet-braised cherries, and cherry goat cheese mousse. And let me tell you they did not hold back on that cheese mousse. It was a generous scoop and it paired perfectly with the dish. It also comes with the same delicious potatoes I had, which again, did not disappoint. She ordered her eggs over medium, and honestly that's exactly how I'd get them too. For drinks, she had an iced matcha latte and I stuck with their house coffee. She said the matcha was amazing, and my coffee was exactly what you want with brunch, warm, smooth, and reliable. The staff were super friendly and helpful, which always makes the experience better. The restaurant itself is spotless and really aesthetically pleasing. It's bright, welcoming, and kind of feels like you've stepped into your grandma's cozy cottage kitchen - warm, charming, and just really cute. Safe to say... I'll definitely be back.

When I read the reviews, people raved about how great this chickpea scramble was so I was looking forward. It really wasn't anything to write home about. Bland, dry.

Service as great- immediately seated me while I waited for my two friends to walk from their car parked at a good distance away. It was a Sunday around lunch time at 11:30 a.m. and full up with a long line we had out front. Took about 35 min - normal and I had waited on a bench outside - worked out well. The other two did not need to wait since they seated me and waited the few min it took them to arrive. All good on the service all around. Our server was attentive and kind and was professional. Busy and that has the noise level a bit loud to be able to converse too much but food consistently good. Only negative was parking on this day , but the server gave us a tidbit for next time on where to park for shorter walk for my friends- nice and we will do it next time!

The food is great, although their steak was overcooked and a poor cut, they have so many other great things here, I can let it slide. The only weakness this place has is portioning.
