    Service is decent. Food on the other hand was nothing impressive. I ordered rolled tacos with guacamole. I was disappointed with the "guacamole" - see picture and you will see why My boyfriend's chilaquile wasn't that bad but I've definitely had better. Every time they open a new restaurant in Tucson Estates, I get very excited because I live pretty close and I really want to support those businesses but sadly food wasn't that great. Maybe I ordered a wrong thing? I would try one more time and order something else. The lady there seemed so nice. I hope they do well.

    Very nice Mexi joint! The food was really good. I had the fish Tacos and my friends had the chile relleno and the chimichanga. They were very generous with chips and salsa. Service was great and we didn't wait long for our food. The prices are very reasonable and the place was impeccable and super clean. They have some outdoor seating and smaller tables inside. The parking area is large enough and the restaurant is easy go find. Will definitely be coming here again.

    This place is in our top 3 places to eat for our family of 4. They are a family owned and operated restaurant which on its own deserves at least 2 stars. The food is well balanced in flavor from the enchiladas to the tacos that we have had. Service is amazing as they are often the family members attending to you so they are very generous with chips, attention and price is among the most reasonable I've seen. We love the crunchy tacos, enchiladas and chile rellenos. We haven't tried the soft tacos or fish but they will be next. They are very accepting and accommodating to our 2 toddlers which can be perfect one day and an absolute mess on other occasions. Ambiance is chill vibe with a blend of Nuevo León Mexico mural and 2 TVs as well as plenty of window seating. This place is definitely worth repeating or giving it a 2nd chance if your first try was not enough to make a decision.

    Giant coffee. Giant concha. Bacon wrapped burrito. This is my happy place. It's a cute little spot, there's a few tables for big parties but it's more cozy and casual. The employees were SO sweet and offered to take group pictures and checked on us frequently. Thank you guys

    I was told by a friend to try this new place so I decided to try it. The place is tucked away off by Kenny road and it's a nice area. The inside was clean and lady was super nice to my family and me. I ordered the Chorizo plate that was served with beans, rice and a tortilla on the side. Delicious Wife ordered the Machaca Burrito with a side of beans. She told me it was very good My son ordered some pancakes that smelled and tasted delicious he said. I would recommend this lace to anyone to try for themselves. Very good food

    So glad we stopped here. This was an awesome mexi joint. Great service and the food topped it off. 5 stars easy.

    Chilaquiles with carne asada. Divorciados, half green chili and half red. Side beans tasted homemade, just like Nana's.

Gave it a try, we are so glad we did! The Prep Omelette was seriously so delicious and seasoned to perfection. It was well balanced and cooked well. The potatoes! YUM! They were crispy but still soft. The toast and jam...that jam is to die for! Husband enjoyed his french toast and fruit, as well! We were both very impressed. Service was good too, I was never in need of anything, and my coffee was filled when I needed it! It was also very clean and wasn't overly expensive. The donuts and pop tarts in the case looked amazing, but we didn't try them. Next time! What a gem you have here! Highly recommend!

Every dish we have tried has been fresh, tasty and great presentation. They always have a diverse spread of pastries so we grab a few to take home. All of their pastries have been amazing. My favorite is their cronut and the raspberry pop tart. Lastly and maybe most importantly, is their delicious drinks. I love the butterfly pea mimosa! Their butterfly pea palmer is great as well. YUMMY! Their service is always great. Attentive and friendly servers. The ambiance is lovely as well- very welcoming, nicely decorated and a bright open space. The patio is quite large and dog friendly. One of the best brunch spots around- we look forward to coming back.

    Used to come here years ago (2019-2020) when working downtown in an office and fell in love then…read morewith this place. Had not been in over 6 years when I went today to this awesome place. The line was the usual long line and with my dog, was much better as people talk and pet dogs in line and it went fairly fast. The line was in shade with the nearby tree so it made it that much better. The ambiance is the misters around that are welcomed by all, the pretty tree and greenery and fencing and signage they have used to decorate this small outdoor place so well. The shaded and covered tables outside had various chairs and enough space for people to rotate in and out- esp with our dogs that love the cool brick to lie on:) Now, the absolute best part is the food- still amazingly worth waiting for and delicious!! I got the burrito( basic has potato, egg, beans , cheese) and the protein I added was bacon and extra was guac. Also got the 16oz Dirty Chai. My friend came for first time and was surprised to open her order and find two burritos- I knew and wanted to see her face- she loved the taste and the fact she had lunch or dinner later as one truly is so full of deliciousness- it fills you up! We each had one we took home ! This place- just a treat for anyone wanting fantastic and pure local service and food! Highly recommend!!!

    These burritos totally live up to the hype. There's was a super long line, and I totally get why…read more The burritos themselves are really simple, but SO good. Nothing overcomplicated, just done really well. I also noticed their drinks looked amazing, so I'll definitely be trying one next time. The seating is all outdoor and the decor is pretty eclectic. A super fun place to be! Only heads up is their morning hours are pretty short, so make sure to check before you go. Overall, absolutely worth it.

    Nice restaurant. Been here a few times, some with colleagues for lunch…read more Food is good. I've had a variety of things, some Mexican dishes, some American. Did a breakfast once. I wouldn't say that it is top of the line cooking, but it is very delicious and definitely worth a visit this side of town. Parking can be a little challenging, they do share a parking lot with other businesses, but close in, there are not that many spots. Service is always friendly and makes you feel comfortable. Interesting atmosphere with flamingos galore and other things decorating the inside. Gives it somewhat of a party and fun feel. Food comes out in a timely manner even when they are very busy. Prices are reasonable. Give it a try, I think you'll like it. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

    Teaspoon is one of the best overall restaurants in Tucson…read more I've been here a few times over the last year or so. It has never disappointed in service, quality or taste. (well once in taste, but I'll get to that) They have great in-house made items. Like the Challa bread, the preserves, their pesto. They most certainly know what they're doing. I had unseasoned filet mignon once, I believe it was the omelette. I talked to the manager. Now I wasnt upset, didn't send it back, I just told them what I experienced and mused that I found it odd the cook forgot a simple thing like salt. The manager acknowledged my complaint and that was all; or at least I was fine. Nope, she came back with a to-go box of croissants topped with cream and berries as an apology. They were tremendous by the way. She didn't have to do that. The ambiance is it's only weak point, but even that is minor. Simple black is fine. It's modern feeling and doesn't stand out loudly. They have outdoor seating, which early in the morning is fine, but id avoid in the summer, which will likely mean you'll be waiting, depending on the time. Oh! I forgot to mention, they have very good drinks. They really are intentional about the blend of flavors, they have a little something for everyone. All in all, I cannot recommend this place enough. It's been a shining star amongst Tucson restaurants and I am grateful they exist. Even to how they organize their menu partly by flavor profiles shows they genuinely LOVE food. I love food too, and I love here. Try this place. Today.

It's is dog friendly and just such a nice vibe. Service was a bit crazy, but we totally understood given that it was Father's Day. Our wait was 19 minutes for a table and then another 10 minutes before the waitress came by to take our order. I'm certain it's not normally like this and took into full account all the families and couples that were there to celebrate Father's Day. The food was incredible. Once we ordered, we didn't have too long to wait before our order came out. My coffee was delicious and my husband enjoyed his organic tea. Aces all around.

    Wow! I was blown away. New American is my favorite cuisine and Cup Cafe does not disappoint…read more I ordered the salmon caprese which was INCREDIBLE. Our waiter Keith gave a great recommendation. He said it was his favorite and I can see why. The salmon and asparagus were perfectly cooked. The Parmesan risotto was slight under and crunchy but the flavor was so good I didn't mind. My other two friends ordered the fish n chips and the tofu curry dish on the menu. I was pleasantly surprised that both of their dishes were good also. I took home a slice of the Bailey's chocolate mousse which was amazing. I got it last week and it was slightly different but still very food and I think I liked it even more this week. There were two things that were out so I will have to try them another time. I was still happy with what I got and would definitely come back!

    My favorite meal during our most recent trip to Tucson! And very dog friendly!!!…read more Big dog approved: We came with our large dog, and were able to sit with him on the patio. We came during May, when it starts to get warm, but he did well since there is a good amount of shade out on their patio and they provided a nice big water bowl for our special boy. The staff also were kind enough to move one of our chairs out of the way so our dog had lots of room to lay down. Staff were all very kind and never seemed annoyed with the dog (you can always tell at a restaurant if they are, and they were very happy to accommodate him). Very dog friendly!! The food: We gotta talk about their French onion soup. It was pretty dang delicious! The broth itself is quite nice, a nice cheese portion, and the baguette was divine. I also had their French Connection sandwich (with a side of fries), and it had a great combo of ooey, gooey cheese, firm and flavorful ham, and served on a really delicious loaf. Really solid fries, too. We didn't end up getting any drinks but saw several people ordering yummy looking bites. If (but likely when) we come back to Tucson, I'm making a point to return to Cup Cafe!
