Wonderful, and those beans - above and beyond in flavor!
Brian M.

Wonderful 'fairly' new spot in central. Cool authentic Mexican Food vibe with a nice patio and friendly staff. Three crispy tacos and a tostado were fantastic. Foot stomping those beans and rice, not certain if there is bacon fat in those beans, but they were on point! If you like hot sauce (Beyond the standard salsa), you have to request it - worth it, but damn it has a kick! We will definitely be back. Thanks Girls Kitchen!

We were craving some Mexican tacos before heading back home and stumbled upon Girl's Kitchen. The restaurant seems family owned which is great to see and everyone we encountered was very nice and the dining area was quiet. We ended up getting a variety of tacos and a tostada (check the photos). I really enjoyed everything we ate, even the variety of salsas. I would recommend dropping here and supporting local.

Red chili burro ($16)

This restaurant is right off of speedway in an older historic home. They have more parking in the back of the building. The restaurant was nice size and had many small tables and a couple larger tables. We had some chimichangas and the red chili one was perfectly crispy and the red chili was very good. The carne asada chimi was ok. The bean burrito was ok as well. You have to pay extra for rice and beans on the plate. So a chimi by itself is $16 a bit pricy for what you receive. Food for three people (two chimis and one bean burro) and two drinks $50+. The service was fast and nice.

Custom entree with quesabirria tacos (2) and a beef enchilada (1). 2 sides = calabacitas and refried beans. $17.95 (1/2025)

This Mexican diner has only been opened for 2 months but is already gaining a reputation! After reading about them in "This Is Tucson" I had to try. Once inside the brightly painted exterior you enter into a turn of the century bungalow that was likely once a residence. There are three immediate dining areas and the kitchen/counter lies just past the "living room" wall. Staff is super friendly and brimming with recommendations. I visited just after the lunch rush and that likely played to my benefit. I was visibly torn between the 3 enchilada plate and the 3 quesabirria plate (each is $16.50 and includes 2 sides). The cashier kindly asked the chef/owner if I could try a custom combo 2/1 and the chef smiled and nodded yes :) The quesabirria tacos were delicious, with lean tender meat and a balanced amount of cheese. The lone critique is that they had quickly become soft, losing their crispness in the short time from grill to plate. That could easily be my fault as the chef accommodated the customer third item - the shredded beef enchilada for my combo. There was 2x the beef in the similarly-sized enchilada as the quesabirria tacos (but it's not flash fried with cheese either). The red sauce that douses the enchilada is delicious, if a bit sweet(?). I opted for calabacitas (sautéed mixed veggies) and refried beans (rather than simply rice or also whole beans) - I must say, having options like those is wonderfully unique. The calabacitas (diced zucchini, onion, and corn) was delicious. The refried beans were perfect and dipped nicely with the (free) intro bowl of chips/salsa. Parking in their private lot is a little snug but sufficient for now. Bathrooms are modern/quaint, gender specific, and clean. Traditional glass-bottled sodas abound as do agua frescas like jamaica and also horchata. I can't wait to return!

Menu as of 3/25/2025

Great service, friendly staff, quality food, very clean, doesn't break the bank. We loved it!

Out of business it seems. Closed always. Open for a while then shut down. Maybe on Summer break but phone doesn't answer.

WOWhubby and I had an epic lunch today at ‍Chef Brian's Comfort Kitchen. We arrived for a late…read morelunch at this hip fast casual (counter service) eatery and were greeted directly by Chef Brian Hill, an OG [S1!] Top Chef contestant, who guided us through his southern menu, recommending yummy vegan and carnivore options. OMG, what an EXQUISITE meal--My fried pork chop dish and hubby's vegan platter--chef's kiss perfection! My pictures do not do it justice! Chef Brian checked in during the meal to regale us with witty stories of cookng for luminaries like Mary J Blige, Eddie Murphy, Forrest Whittaker et al! It was the ultimate Chef's table experience!! Truly memorable!

Leaving a disabled car in an active, narrow traffic lane is incredibly dangerous, so I did the responsible thing and coasted into their lot solely to get out of harm's way while I immediately tried to get in contact with my husband . Instead of showing an ounce of human empathy or profesional courtesy during an emergency, the owner came out and aggressively screamed at me on three separate occasions. I explicitly told him that my vehicle was mechanically dead, that help was on the way, and that I had my two infants inside the car. He did not care at all. He kept berating me and demanding that I leave anyway. Managing a private parking lot is one thing, but repeatedly escalating a stressful roadside emergency into a hostile confrontation--with zero regard for the safety of two small children in AZ heat--is completely unacceptable. I am incredibly disappointed by this toxic, heartless behavior.

Even during the busy lunch rush with what seemed like half the downtown office crowd grabbing lunch, the staff was incredibly attentive and everything moved surprisingly fast. I never felt rushed, but I was still able to get in and out with plenty of time to spare. I ordered the Chipotle Green Chile Cheeseburger, and it was phenomenal! The smash burger patties were perfectly cooked with a great sear, and the green chile had just the right amount of flavor without overpowering the burger. I especially loved the smoky chipotle flavor. It came with their house-made chips, which were fresh and really tasty. I also ordered a sweet tea that was delicious and paired perfectly with lunch. Before I left, I grabbed a bag of the Raptor Tracks from the bakery case. I forgot to take a picture, but they were so good. They reminded me of Nutella Muddy Buddies and disappeared way too quickly. Great food, fast service, and a perfect option if you're working or spending time downtown. I'll definitely be back, and I highly recommend the Chipotle Green Chile Cheeseburger!

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!
