    Chicken burro
    Russell B.

    New place in the neighborhood so we gave it a shot. The wait was long - like, really long. I think we waited an hour. Others did too. The positive to that was tables started interacting with one another, so that was kinda cool. The service was very warm and friendly, though. To their credit, they started divvying out chips and salsa. The food was pretty good. They are generous with their meat and the prices are reasonable. My wife liked that the quesabirria did not have a lot of fat. I had a chicken burro and enjoyed it. It is a new place, so hopefully they work some of the kinks out. If so, can be a good little neighborhood spot for years to come.

    Chips & salsa

    This restaurant is hopefully going to be very successful and stay around for a while. The food was amazing. We had Menudo and breakfast carne asada burrito. The salsa was outstanding - this is one of my measures for a Mexican restaurant. Fantastic beans! Service & ambience were excellent.

    Quesabirria tacos
    Megan P.

    Food is made to order so be prepared to wait a few minutes, they do give you chips, salsa and guac ehich was unexpected but tasty. They have a large menu, we tried quesabirria tacos and a sonoran burrito which were both good and large portions. You'll order at the counter, food is brought to you and the staff busses your table after.

    This place is new ! Really fresh Mexican Sonoran cuisine Food awesome. Place clean service excellent and they serve chips and salsa. Have a wonderful salsa bar.

    Chilaquiles and Sonoran dog.

    My first time there and I will not be returning. Tables and floor needed cleaning, flies buzzing inside, flying around customers who were eating and who had to swat them away. Windows were dirty. The Sonoran dog was nothing as pictured. It was VERY well cooked, very little beans, overflowing with tomatoes and onions and basically BLAH. Took a couple of bites and then into the trash. The chilaquiles were not very good, serving of chips was very stingy. The eggs were not cooked properly, they were half raw. Tried to eat it but this also ended up in the trash.

    100/10. Came here for breakfast after mass and Unknowingly follwed Fr Ed from St Christoper as he blessed for the grand opening. The owner was kind to let us in right away while they did the ribbon cutting. The food was amazing!! Everything was perfectly seasoned. I forgot to mention red menudo and so I got white. It was my first time having white and I missed nothing. It was absolutely delicious. And they brought the cutest molcajete. The service was great and the people were so friendly. The restaurant also had an adorable theme!

    Norteño breakfast burrito with potatoes and beans
    Caitlin S.

    Great breakfast burritos and complimentary chips and salsa! The complimentary salsa comes with 3 dips (spicy (it's not too spicy though) mild, and guacamole) and all are delicious. I tried the Norteño breakfast burrito (chorizo) and the other two people with me tried the steak and eggs breakfast burrito and the clásico ham breakfast burrito. All tasted great especially with added pico and salsa. They weren't overly greasy either so it didn't feel heavy afterwards. I think two people could share a burrito if you're not super hungry or just need something to-go. Service was really friendly and the restaurant is clean also.

Any business can…read moreget a pass for a mistake made, but it's inexcusable in today's world for a restaurant to give bad/disrespectful service. My partner is a passionate "foodie" who has been a successful food writer/blogger in LA and other cities throughout his career. We have been to so many amazing restaurants in Tucson as well as LA, Phoenix and Chicago. On Thursday, my partner tried to make a dinner reservation for Friday on their website and it was not working, so he called the restaurant and spoke to someone who said they did not have 5:30, but they had a 5:00 open, so we took that. He told her that he tried the website but it wasn't working and she said "that happens all the time". When we arrived on Friday at 5:00, the woman said she didn't see a reservation for us. My partner said that he called the day before and made the reservation, she was very rude, saying they were booked and she did not see a reservation for the 2 of us. My partner reiterated that he called Thursday (he's quite sure that he actually spoke with her) she said she'd try to get us a table, but we needed to be done by 6:30. She instructed someone else to seat us. Within minutes, someone approached our table and introduced himself as the owner and said very loudly and aggressively, so customers could hear "if you ever talk to one of my employees like that again, swearing and using foul language, you'll be banned from the restaurant!" I calmly said to him "he was not rude to her, he absolutely did not swear or use foul language, he does NOT do that." A good manager who cares about his customers would have handled this differently- "good evening. I understand you had issues making a reservation, tell me about that". We have been to so many amazing restaurants in Tucson, no need to patronize a place where the owner treats customers so poorly. We left and went to a very popular restaurant. The place was packed, yet we saw the owner who greeted us and asked if we had a reservation, we said "no". He said "that's ok, I'll get you a table". We had a great experience.

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!

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.

It's right next to the University of Arizona on university and I loved it so much, I came back three nights in a row. Call me a creature of habit, but when you're out of town and you find something excellent, it's worth going back. It definitely has more of a bar vibe than it does a restaurant, but the food I ordered was incredible. If you're hungry, don't look at my pictures. Lol. With that area of town being so crowded, I thought parking was going to be an issue, but I found a spot right near the front of the restaurant every time. I walked right in, ordered at the bar, and was in and out in less than 12 minutes every time. On top of it all, I had the same person helping me from behind the bar each time and she was incredible. Friendly, accommodating, and if I was the manager, she'd be getting a raise. Ask for Alyssa and you won't be disappointed. Needless to say, anytime I am in Tucson, Arizona, I no longer have to search for a restaurant that I like. I'll definitely be back.
