    Food was ok. My husband did like his machaca. Service was slow, not very attentive. I'm. It sure I'll come back, we had visited a couple of years ago and it's was good.

    I stopped to eat breakfast at the location on west Valencia ---ordered carne Machaca breakfast and asked to delete the rice and provide me with fried potatoes instead (with added charge of $4). The fired potatoes were cold and mushy. The waitress confirmed my suspicion that the potato was boiled and then cut up into huge chunks which were then slightly singed in oil. I am 68 yo and this is the worst "fried potatoes" I have ever had! The machaca had minimal meat and had scant onions amd an abundance of green bell peppers that overwhelmed the taste buds which ruined the machaca flavor. First and last time here at this Taco Giro on west Valencia in Tucson, Arizona. Don't stop and eat here!

    Chips and salsa

    Thought we'd stop in for a quick dinner bite. Service was not so great. When we walked in two of the wait staff were discussing something about an order. We were standing 3 feet from them, they never acknowledged our presence. We were finally seated and ordered. Took awhile to get our meal. Server said they had received a large on line order, which was the reason for the delay. Meal was average. We asked for a side of guacamole on our order. It was never given to us. I mentioned to the server to cancel the guacamole after we were almost finished with the meal. He looked us with a stare, then said "my mind just checked out, what did you say". Needless to say, not our best experience.

    Taco salad. Can have ground beef, carne asada, pork, pollo, fish and shrimp

    The fil is in town and asked for Mexican. We offered a few options but he remembered Taco Giro from last visit and asked to go again. They have a nice indoor area, plus a great patio. As soon as seated you are brought chips, salsa and bean dip. The servers do a good job of not letting you run low. The menu is huge, with soups, salads, mocajete, seafood, breakfast all day and all your combos and burritos and tacos that are staples. The carne asada is always good, never gristly or dry. The green Chile pork is delicious and moist. The daughter loves their albondigous and tortilla soup, which is always filled with veggies plus the meat. I just realized I almost forgot drinks. They have good beer list and fantastic margaritas. Tonight's special was a peach margarita for $4. That alone is worth going for

    18. One Taco de Carne Deshebrada y One Chile Relleno $15 (1/2023)
    Mike S.

    Came here to have a casual, end-of-holidays, celebratory meal with friends/family on 1/2/2023. The establishment was about 1/3 occupied, yet service was a bit slow at first. Fortunately the complimentary chips/salsa kept us occupied. Once the six of us ordered, the food arrived in a respectable 15 minutes. The carne quesadilla (which came with lots of guac and sour cream) was a hit as were the chicken enchiladas with plenty of clean, shredded chicken. On the other hand, the carne tacos, while meaty, were barely lukewarm. Ditto for the chili rellano (barely lukewarm and disappointingly not batter-crisp on the outside nor was the chili tender on the inside)... overall echoing other reviewers who complained about "cold" entrees. Most of the meals came with Spanish rice and refried beans. The rice appeared fresh and tasted good and the nifty thing about their refried beans is that they are very creamy (not as thick/dense as typical) and have turmeric added (so they appear more orange as well) - an intriguing twist. Decor is nondescript, large booths were very comfortable with padded seating, and parking was ample around all sides of the establishment. Bottomline, at this high-ish price point, and with this many performance hiccups, Taco Giro won't make our Mexican top-ten list this go-around.

We made a reservation well in advance and even then there were limited time options. The atmosphere of the restaurant is slightly upscale while still being cozy. I love all the plants! Our server was very knowledgeable and was able to give several recommendations. We ordered the grilled and chilled beets and the steak skewers for appetizers. The beets and everything that came with them was very fresh! I love anything with pickled onions. The steak appetizer was excellent and my dad could not stop talking about them. Next, I ordered the swordfish special and my dad got the pork chop. Everything was cooked to perfection and flavor was everywhere! For dessert we split the dark chocolate ganache. The ganache was very rich but paired wonderfully with the whipped cream and other flavors. I don't drink, but my dad also loved the cocktails he ordered! If Tito & Pep has been on your list do not hesitate any longer. I very much regret not coming here sooner and I highly recommend giving it a try!

The first thing I need to own is that it's a shame I hadn't visited here before. We arrived at 5:30p and both the bar and patio areas were packed - standing room only, and no wonder. They have one of the better happy hours (daily! 3:00 - 6:30p) - able to accommodate both the slacker and the over-timer Lol. Basic drinks are all discounted such as house wines, well drinks, and beers. Their bottled wines and craft cocktails are all exempt though. Many of their appetizers are also discounted and some quite substantially. We grabbed a glass of the house cabernet ($6, normally $8) and the grilled shrimp wrapped in jalapeno bacon ($13, normally $20). NOTE: happy hour pricing is Only available if you order/consume at the bar or on the patio and that's clear in advance, and understandable. The dining areas were only half full at this early point (but filled up by 6:30) and the host kindly encouraged us to enjoy our starters at the bar as she would hold our table. We were then sat near the "back" of this long venue and frankly, aside from the lone windowed table at the very front, this would be my preferred seating - cozy, intimate, with only five other tables around us. For dinner drinks she got an Italian Nebbiolo Bricco Magno Red Blend ($13/glass, reliably terrific/mellow) and I got the Chupacabra ($15) Mezcal/prickly pear cocktail, strong and excellent as well. We got an additional appetizer: the roasted bone marrow ($19). I had never had marrow before but she raved about how good this can be if done properly (bonus, it is super healthy). Folks, a picture/worth a 1000... suffice to say this was simply outstanding! We both had long work weeks and were craving meat - just a damn good steak. Our waiter, without blinking recommended the 8oz bison filet mignon ($65) as his absolute menu fav, and then the day's special: 14oz ribeye ($50). We ordered each. All dinners come with two sides and we each got the day's special: roasted half artichoke and she got the loaded baked potato while I got the mashed potatoes. Food arrived about 15 minutes later at good temperature (warm/rested with a strong char) with each being accurately grilled (medium and medium-rare). Taste was outstanding. Neither one of us had bison filet before and marveled how it (subtly) added a "wild" edge to an always outstanding, lean-but-tender, cut of beef. The loaded baked was terrific, however, the mashed was the only disappointment... a plainer mash one could not make themselves - pure white and borderline dry, no milk, butter, egg, gravy(?), nothing to make it creamy or add any flavor dimension - a surprise frankly. The only other "critique" is that the dessert menu could add some kind of dark/chocolate concoction. All in all, though, we loved our experience and have decided to add this to our periodic special dinners rotation! Staff was outstanding - just the proper balance of attentive and quiet - and waters never went below half empty. Parking is free and plentiful, especially behind the restaurant (and yes, if you continue on around the back there is another long entrance/exit driveway that comes out the other side of Jimmy John's and Noodleholics.

We were in Gavi's last weekend and our server, Peter, started out friendly enough, but when we joked a bit with him, I guess he felt it gave him license to hit on my 19 year-old daughter. Gross. Peter looks to be about 45 years old and doesn't wear a ring so it's obvious he is on the prowl as he told my daughter that he was surprised she didn't have a boyfriend because she is hot and that he would love to date her. My daughter was beyond embarrased and a bit creeped out by this comment. I was downright pissed off and my daughter immediately grabbed my arm and looked me in the eyes to tell me to let it go. Against my wishes, I did. I wanted to make a scene like none other but had to consider my family. I refrained. I considered informing management, but again, my daughter implored me not to. I obliged. My only recourse is to publicly recognize Gavi for having a creep on staff and to warn patrons of the restaurant to keep your underaged girls close to you as I can't imagine what this creep would do if he encountered a young girl unsupervised by her parents.
