    Maybe I didn't order the right dish from this place? I saw that they were one of the better menudo places in town. I made the trip down 12th Ave to try some. The restaurant is small and so is the parking lot. The inside appears to be a mom & pop owned business. The service was fast, friendly counter service. The menudo wasn't anything special. I got a lot more hominy than I did tripe. Good place overall, but probably won't make a special trip to eat there.

    Parking was a breeze. Inside is clean and setup for takeout. Theres a small seating area out front. Jarrito's is the same owners for 44 years. There's some celebrity photos on the walls. Everyone I was greeted by was super friendly. My order is vegetarian. Potato, egg, cheese, and a smear of beans. They accommodated the bean shmear' to perfection. Their Tortilla has the right texture and everything else inside was tasty and delicious. The salsa's got some bite and is really good. It's an authentic Tucson spot. I'm connecting the burrito dots and Jarrito's is definitely worth your time and the drive.

    Only chorizo and potatoes when I ordered and paid for chorizo, potato, egg, cheese and nopalitos.

    I drove to the other side of town for some breakfast burritos and they were a total disappointment. See receipt: I paid $8.75 for a chorizo, egg and potato burrito. I also paid an extra $0.89 for cheese and $1.50 to add nopalitos. My burrito was only chorizo and potatoes. It was very dry, the tortilla was hard and overall a 1 star experience. My husband ordered the barbecoa and egg. Although it was better than mine, the barbacoa didn't have any flavor other than beef. Wouldn't recommend.

    So Im visiting and asked a local from the Tucson area "Where can I get some authentic Mexican food around the airport area ". And .... this was one of two suggested open for breakfast and lunch I was greeted by the owner's son and he explained that this place has been around for over 40+ years also where the locals I seen were very friendly and expressed that they Grew up on this food he did such a good job explaining the menu .... it took me a small bit to decide on what to eat.. (everything sounded soooo delicious) So I got the Chicharrones con chile Colorado Chimichangas Combo and the Menudo y Pozole The food and service was awesome .... most definitely will be returning before returning back home.

    Nopalitos burrito, Chicken taco, Enchiladas!!

    Seriously the best nopales burrito I have ever had! The sauce on the enchiladas was the perfect spice and taste! The taco was cooked to perfection...that crunch unbelievable!! We grabbed some salsa and tortillas to go so we can snake later...SOOOOO delicious. The owner and staff are so friendly and the menu is priced right! I will be back again & again!!

    I think im at the spot

Everyone made us feel welcome and ensured we had everything we needed. The food was absolutely phenomenal. I ordered the carne asada chimichanga enchilada style, and I can honestly say it was on another level. The flavors were incredible, the carne asada was perfectly cooked, and the enchilada sauce took the entire dish to a whole new world. Every bite was better than the last! This was my first visit, and it's an experience I'll never forget. If you're in Tucson and looking for authentic Mexican food with exceptional service, El Charro Café is a must-visit. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu. Highly recommend!

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!

She was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind, and she made our whole experience feel welcoming from start to finish. The hosts were kind too. There was plenty of seating, a dedicated bar, TVs, and nice lighting. The patio has misters, which is perfect for this time of year. They offer booth and table seating, and the tables aren't packed too close together. With party members who have different mobility challenges, the spacing was great and made everything comfortable. The food was delicious. The complimentary bottomless chips and salsa were fresh and generous. If you order the horchata, it comes with free refills too, which is such a nice touch. My husband ordered 2 birria tacos with caldo and loved them. My father in law ordered 2 ground beef enchiladas with red sauce, and my mother in law ordered 2 plain ground beef tacos. I shared the ceviche with my dad, which was fresh and flavorful, and we each ordered one Quesabirria. It was so good! Dessert was perfect. We tried the flan and the chocolate flan. The chocolate flan was a moist Bundt-style chocolate cake with flan on top. Both were creamy, delicious, and enjoyed by all of us. Great service, great food, and Alexa truly made our first visit special. We'll definitely be back!

Spacious patio area, with cool lights, umbrellas, and many tables. If you have a choice and it isn't too hot, sit outside. The food is stellar! I got their ranch style flat enchilada, which is more or less a thick masa topped with enchilada flavors and spices. So yummy. (And it's vegetarian too!) The rest of the table (3 more) ordered the green chicken enchiladas. They didn't need to rave about it: their plates were completely clean at the end of the meal! We ordered Tamarindo and Horchata drinks between us, and frankly, the Tamarindo is some of the best I've ever had anywhere. Service can be a little slow, especially if they're busy.

The restaurant was packed and it was the holidays so it was understandable. We were told to wait at the back of the restaurant which we did. We waited for over an hour and then were told our table was ready, so we got up and followed. Then someone else came up and they both started whispering and then told us that we would not be seated after all. We asked what had happened (was the kitchen too busy?) but were not told anything other than "she told us not to seat you". The secretive whispering made it a very confusing situation. We sat back down and waited some more. Eventually we got seated, but then the food took another hour to come after we ordered. We asked a few times for water refills but eventually gave up when it didn't come. The plus side - the FOOD. The mole sauce was really good, best I've had! The chicken mole was my favorite dish but the beef with chile was also spectacular. Both corn and flour tortillas were so good here. It was really delicious and I would come back for the food, but not for the service.

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.
