Nestled a bit further down from Cobra Arcade at the front corner of the street it's on, just walk a bit further and you'll find CRUDA. Not a huge place, maybe about 8 or so actual tables, it's a quaint little spot that's surrounded by many other places that are a bit larger but not necessarily better since the other spots are just so crowded particularly at night. If you want a nicer spot to kick back and unwind, you definitely want to try out this spot first. The night we were there they had live music playing too, and since he spot is smaller but had decently taller ceiling, the sounds and acoustics in there actually wasn't bad. Nice to have someone jamming while you have a bite and a drink. The drinks here were sort of hit or miss for me. The drink I got wasn't bad, the drink my friend got was not good. A couple of drinks others got were also hit or miss. I think the cocktails here are just mediocre. The shots here were a bit pricey, but beggars can't be choosers perhaps. Food here was pretty good. Personal favorite, especially for the drinking crowd, that calamari basket was amazing. Came out piping hot and oh so tasty and perfectly fried. Compared to that hot mess of a fried calamari I had at JA Curry Ramen before, this was leaps and bounds ahead. Just a nice spot to be in if you're looking for more lowkey spots here, and one that isn't awful just because it's quieter for, different reasons. Would recommend.

Comfortable booths but otherwise plain. I got the Aloha Plate with katsu and bbq chicken. Just got it with the side salad and no rice. Counter guy was great by asking me questions so I got what I wanted including an extra thing of salad dressing. The dressing was good though - a ginger based flavor. The katsu sauce was good too as a tangy dipping sauce even though I was expecting a curry flavored sauce. The surprise was the serving size was huge. So much that it could have been for two people. The chicken was I think sliced boneless thigh meat and tasted good as a bbq. The Katsu was great as well. I was stuffed. Only thing was it is a Pepsi place and I prefer coke products.

The lomo saltado beef ($12) is flavorful-it's pretty much stirfry beef with onions, tomatoes, fries and white rice. I still prefer the paella.

I loved the salchipapas. Who doesn't enjoy french fries with seared hot dogs layered on top? The Aji Verde sauce had a unique taste to it; I could detect hints of cilantro and lime within the deep flavor. It was delectable! The lo-mein had the texture of the typical Chinese Lo-Mein, but the spices were quite different.

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.

Fish Fry Friday Review - Crispy's…read more Today was Fish Fry Friday, and you know what that means... time to get in the car and hunt down some fish! This time we headed south to a little spot called Crispy's, and I'm glad we made the trip. It's only about 7 miles from the house, but that's not the point. The point is that good food is worth a little drive. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the cashier, who was super friendly. He told us if we had any questions, just ask. I laughed and told him, "I'm ordering a lot because I drove all the way from North Tucson and I want to try everything... it's not my fault, I do it for you guys!" Let's talk prices first. I'd say they're in the mid-to-upper range. For example, a 2-piece fish combo (fish, fries, and a canned drink) runs just under $15. Considering the size and quality of the fish, I think it's a fair price. Now for the feast: * 2-piece fish combo * 4-piece fish combo * 1-piece catfish * 10 jalapeño poppers * Fried pickles * Small coleslaw * Small potato salad * 3-piece chicken combo The total came to about $80, and honestly, I didn't mind because we came to sample the menu. The food was excellent. The catfish was moist with just the right amount of seasoning and a nice little kick. The cod was breaded and fried perfectly--crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside. The sauce selection was impressive too. We tried: * Tartar sauce * House sauce (very similar to Cane's sauce) * Blue cheese * Ranch * Cocktail sauce * Ketchup We pretty much sampled them all. My wife and Isaiah both loved the house sauce and tartar sauce. I kept going back to the cocktail sauce. The fries were made from fresh-cut potatoes, and you can definitely taste the difference. Something about fresh-cut fries just makes me feel healthier... even if they're deep-fried! The lobby was clean and surprisingly cool on a hot Arizona day. It felt like they had both A/C and a swamp cooler running because my wife actually got cold. Final Score: 1/2 (4.5/5) The food was fantastic, the service was friendly, and we'll definitely be back. The only reason I couldn't give a full five stars is because there are no public restrooms. Other than that, Crispy's is absolutely worth checking out if you're looking for some quality fish and chips in Tucson.

Ours was 1/2 that size x2. 2, 1/2 corn on cob not 2 full cobs as expected, but 1 cut in half. What a total rip off and false advertising!!! We complained the minute we saw how small the KING crab was. About 10 inches long total with about 3/4 inch in diameter in shell! Now I have had king crab before and the legs were at least 2 feet in length not 10". We went home hungry and $104.00 less in our pockets. Manager was our server and only gave us 10% off!
