    Food is mid, at best. Convenient location with an abundance of free parking. Upon entering, I was warmly greeted and immediately seated. Complimentary chips and salsa were served. Chips were mildly seasoned and absolutely delicious. Salsa was good with just a little kick. After looking over the menu, I decided to try a Cheese Quesadilla with Grilled Chicken, which arrived after a few short minutes. Umm... sadly, it was less than desirable. It was excessively greasy and lacked any real flavor, just an abundance of cheese. The accompanying guacamole didn't seem fresh and had an unusual creamy texture. Service was fast and friendly. Overall, it was a disappointing experience.

    Pretty good Mexican foods in Tucson I've... just having Fajitas and it tasted delicious and the guacamole, spicy and corn tortillas were right on!!! Services were excellent and efficient...

    Overall a good experience. Server was OK, but maybe he's new to industry? The food was very good, but I would get no hominy in my menudo next time. I asked for a little bit. The place is spacious and has a sports bar vibe. Definitely would come back.

    First time trying this place, based on the mostly positive reviews on Yelp. The quesabirria tacos were the bomb. The beef and cheese tasted authentic and delicious. Service was quick and Luis is super friendly and attentive. The restaurant also doubles as a rental hall, so it is a big space with plenty of room. Will definitely be back.

    Stopped by on a Sunday morning (10:30) for breakfast. We're still trying to find a good Mexican breakfast place to replace our beloved Rigo's that closed after Covid. The place is very roomy and bright and clean with colorful baskets of flowers decorating the room and a beautiful butterfly at the entrance that's built specifically for people to take pictures with by putting themselves as the butterflies body. (Clever idea) The restaurant was fairly quiet with only about 5 other parties dining there. It looked like one person was cooking and one server and one busser. It looks like a family run restaurant so quite possibly the owner and his sons. My BF was originally planning on Menudo but they only had one size and judging from how big it looked on another diners table he thought it was more than he wanted. We both picked something on the lunch special menu (daily 10-2) He settled on the shredded beef and potato burrito which came with rice and beans. It looked a little small when it came out but after eating it he declared himself full. He was very happy with the tortilla (he's a tortilla snob) He said the beef was moist but not overly wet and very flavorful with small diced potatoes mixed in. He said because of there being so much meat in the burrito, it didn't need to be larger. I chose the ground beef taco and cheese enchilada combo which also came with rice and beans. It was a good size taco that had a good portion of ground season beef. My only complaint is I don't enjoy premade shells for my tacos. I'll take a smaller homemade shell over a larger premade any day. The cheese enchilada had a perfect amount of sauce and the cheese was nicely melted inside. The enchilada sauce was mild but had good flavor and didn't have the powered chili taste that some places have. The refried beans didn't wow us but we're still good. My bf is not a Mexican rice fan and usually leaves it mostly untouched but he ate it all and said he really liked it. We're not very high maintenance diners and don't require much attention but our server was polite and very nice and was quick with refills when we asked for them. You can tell they care about their food and the experience of their patrons. I hope you give them a try. I always root for local family business and wish them well

Gave it a try, we are so glad we did! The Prep Omelette was seriously so delicious and seasoned to perfection. It was well balanced and cooked well. The potatoes! YUM! They were crispy but still soft. The toast and jam...that jam is to die for! Husband enjoyed his french toast and fruit, as well! We were both very impressed. Service was good too, I was never in need of anything, and my coffee was filled when I needed it! It was also very clean and wasn't overly expensive. The donuts and pop tarts in the case looked amazing, but we didn't try them. Next time! What a gem you have here! Highly recommend!

Every dish we have tried has been fresh, tasty and great presentation. They always have a diverse spread of pastries so we grab a few to take home. All of their pastries have been amazing. My favorite is their cronut and the raspberry pop tart. Lastly and maybe most importantly, is their delicious drinks. I love the butterfly pea mimosa! Their butterfly pea palmer is great as well. 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.

The line was the usual long line and with my dog, was much better as people talk and pet dogs in line and it went fairly fast. The line was in shade with the nearby tree so it made it that much better. The ambiance is the misters around that are welcomed by all, the pretty tree and greenery and fencing and signage they have used to decorate this small outdoor place so well. The shaded and covered tables outside had various chairs and enough space for people to rotate in and out- esp with our dogs that love the cool brick to lie on:) Now, the absolute best part is the food- still amazingly worth waiting for and delicious!! I got the burrito( basic has potato, egg, beans , cheese) and the protein I added was bacon and extra was guac. Also got the 16oz Dirty Chai. My friend came for first time and was surprised to open her order and find two burritos- I knew and wanted to see her face- she loved the taste and the fact she had lunch or dinner later as one truly is so full of deliciousness- it fills you up! We each had one we took home ! This place- just a treat for anyone wanting fantastic and pure local service and food! Highly recommend!!!

    These burritos totally live up to the hype. There's was a super long line, and I totally get why…read more The burritos themselves are really simple, but SO good. Nothing overcomplicated, just done really well. I also noticed their drinks looked amazing, so I'll definitely be trying one next time. The seating is all outdoor and the decor is pretty eclectic. A super fun place to be! Only heads up is their morning hours are pretty short, so make sure to check before you go. Overall, absolutely worth it.

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. Parking can be a little challenging, they do share a parking lot with other businesses, but close in, there are not that many spots. Service is always friendly and makes you feel comfortable. 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. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

    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.

It's is dog friendly and just such a nice vibe. Service was a bit crazy, but we totally understood given that it was Father's Day. Our wait was 19 minutes for a table and then another 10 minutes before the waitress came by to take our order. I'm certain it's not normally like this and took into full account all the families and couples that were there to celebrate Father's Day. The food was incredible. Once we ordered, we didn't have too long to wait before our order came out. My coffee was delicious and my husband enjoyed his organic tea. Aces all around.

Our waiter Keith gave a great recommendation. He said it was his favorite and I can see why. The salmon and asparagus were perfectly cooked.

I was pleasantly surprised that both of their dishes were good also. I took home a slice of the Bailey's chocolate mousse which was amazing. I got it last week and it was slightly different but still very food and I think I liked it even more this week. There were two things that were out so I will have to try them another time.

    My favorite meal during our most recent trip to Tucson! And very dog friendly!!!…read more Big dog approved: We came with our large dog, and were able to sit with him on the patio. 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!
