    Bean chimichanga
    Mandi G.

    We've been going here for years - hundreds of visits (my kids LOVE the food!) and it's always been consistently yummy, the service has been friendly, the dining area is very clean, and they've never once messed up our order! Definite 5 STARS from us! The rolled tacos with guacamole are great for a light meal or snack. The chimichangas are delicious and very filling (see photo!)

    Bean Tostada and Cheese Enchilada Combo about $10
    John M.

    OK, simply put... Pacos has the best fast casual Mexican in Tucson! You can drive through or sit inside the small but spotless restaurant. Either way, you're gonna get great cooked to order Mex that is always yummy. Plus, the prices hover around the $10 mark for generous platters. Mexican cokes are also very fairly priced at around $2 a bottle. The only slight negative is the keyed outside restroom but hey, even the restroom is always spotless. Love me some Pacos!!

    Carne Asada
    Phillip B.

    The food is great, but I don't understand why it looks like the bag was swung around after it's put inside. My wife has uh... sensitivities that caused her to curse, run into and slam the bathroom door shut, and sob when she saw this. I'm really tired of having to console her when we eat here, but she doesn't want me to ever go back anyway. This is the 2nd time in a row this has happened. All I do is take the bag from the gal at the window, put it in the passenger seat, and drive 5 minutes home.

    Breakfast Carne Asada Burritos
    Daniel A.

    I was originally very skeptical because their breakfast burritos cost around 5 dollars but these burritos are absolutely worth that cost! Homemade tortillas with that necessary chewy factor. The burrito was absolutely chock full of flavor including perfectly braised potatoes and chorizo. Coming from San Antonio breakfast tacos, I can say I was still impressed at the taste and size of these burritos. Don't know about the rest of the food but I'll be sure to try out their lunch and dinner options at a later date!

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.

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.

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.

The price point is the same (actually probably better), so you just get way more bang for your buck. Easy choice.

    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.

As a whole, I feel like the side pairing of challah toast with jam and butter is an odd choice. I also ordered the iced Thai tea, which was quite weak. Overall--I wasn't really feeling it. When you go to Teaspoon, you're really paying for ambience over quality. There's no issue with the service here, from hosts to wait staff. The food is simply underwhelming, and thus so is the experience. I wouldn't be mad to return, but I don't know if this would ever be my suggestion.

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!
