Substance Diner! Substance Diner just surprised everyone at Casa Video! Honestly, really good and simple. I got the TLT (tofu, lettuce, tomato) and the spicy fricken sandwich, both tasted great. I didn't love the lettuce choice,and I'm a saucer guy so I wish the spicy sandwich had more of a drenched buffalo-style kick, but still solid sauce on it Grabbed a Joe's Tea too. Matched the old truck out front haha. Ambiance: It was super windy so the photos were a struggle and there was a pretty big wait, but honestly it was awesome seeing so many people out supporting them. I think maybe an extra person helping or something could help. Overall, 8/10. Definitely pumped to see them out and about **Photos taken outside with phone. No additional lighting and being blasted with wind read more

Vegetarian comfort food out of a small old time camping trailer parked outside a brewery? Need anymore be said? Okay, it's a review so, yes. The Barby's Roast Peace Sandwich, thin sliced scratch made seitan stuffed in a sesame bun, with onions and vegan cheese, is incredibly satisfying. The Veganer Schnitzel, scratch-made seitan thin cut and breaded, is another winner. Finally, the French fries. I rarely eat fries and have never written about fries. Fries are pretty much fries. Not much to say about fries. Well, I'm wrong. These may have been the best fries I've ever had. The balance between heft, crunch, and texture elevates these fries to gourmet level for me. I never thought I would say that about fries. Tucson surprises me yet again in a good way. read more

Pleasantly surprised! Grabbed a bite before a comedy show at Screwbean Brewing. We may not have opted for vegan, but glad we got to try it. We ordered the Spicy Fricken Sandwich which is a seitan version of a chicken sandwich. It has great flavor with a nice texture. The substantial burger was also well seasoned. Very reminiscent of a burger, while i wouldn't necessarily say the chicken tasted as such. Fries were amazing! So fresh and juicy. Id be happy to dine here again. read more

The Barby's Roast Peace and Spicy Fricken Chickn sandwiches are both great. Wish I had come with more of an appetite because the Sonoran Dog looked really good too. It's always great to find a fully vegan menu in Tucson but even better when they have unique menu items and you can bring them into Screwbean next door to eat. Will definitely be back for more. read more

Substance Diner has great vegan diner chow! The iconic cart is now only set up on weekends at the El Pais Motel and Campgrounds. They offer a fun environment with a fire pit and classic movies. Try the crispy vegan fricken chicken sandwich--it's so much better than the classic chicken version. read more

Enjoyed this spot today. Ordered a few items on the menu. The grilled cheese was really cheezy. The bread is what made it stand out. Same for the Roast Peace sandwich. Not stingy at all the protein at all. Very filling and flavorful. A must try in Tucson read more

This is definitely my first time going here and I was totally surprised. I was surprised first that I found the place because they're right behind the brewery. You can order food from the brewery and they will get it to you, but you have to find it and they will deliver it to the restaurant as well. The vegan comfort food was such a delicious and amazingly tasty food that I will definitely be back. The gentleman that was there was so friendly and helpful with ordering for my first time. if you are looking for a great plant-based getaway from the norm definitely visit here. Even if you're not vegan, you will love this place! read more

ALL vegan menu and food truck located right outside the Screwbean brewing co. Location, -The food we ordered was fantastic, one of the best Seitan spicy crispy chickun sandwiches I've had, big huge crispy patty, finely sliced lettuce, and yummy fluffy bun. Also had the Philly cheese steak sandwich that was hearty and packed full, along with the crispy lightly breaded fried pickles with homemade ranch, yum! Finally, we also thoroughly enjoyed the chocolate-peanut butter milk shake that was knock our socks off delicious!!! :P Service was friendly, kind, and very prompt, with every item made to order! Nice blocked off petite outdoor table sitting area with quiet surroundings. I truly can't wait to come back to this little gem! :D read more

Love this little oldies themed diner that's right outside local bar MotoSonora Brewery. The owner is a hard worker, he makes all the order fresh and most of the food it house made. On the busier nights there can be a bit of a wait, we'll worthwhile and while one is relaxing and waiting, they can enjoy the space and drinks of Moto. Classic favorites like fries, shakes and a chicken sandwich or spice things up with the fried pickles... a personal top fave. Totally vegan friendly. Really delicious comfort food. read more

Great vegan food. The turkey sandwich and chicken nuggets were absolutely amazing and all at a very reasonable price.

Great vegan diner food, we can always rely on Substance for the good stuff. Best vegan Sonoran dogs we've ever found. Thick diner fries that are seasoned great, and great vegan ranch. We love their new spot behind Screwbean Brewery, I hope it serves them well! We always go out of our way to find Substance Diner. Yum! read more

Substance Diner - Substance Diner's new spot on Park and 10th - Vegan Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Had this yesterday at MotoSonora Brewery. It was stellar! I had the Mushroom Philly Cheezesteak Sandwich, and was super impressed. They have their act together too. All you need to do is get the QR code off the table in the brewery, place your order, and go pick it up after they page you. Nice to see people actually using technology for a change! The cheese steak was generous in size, and tasted amazing. The toppings were a bit expensive, but that's just what restaurants do I guess. I'd definitely have this again. It's great to know I can get such amazing food at a great brewery! read more

I was so surprised at how much I loved the kale salad from Substance Diner. While visiting Tucson, I ordered it 3 times, seriously, and I don't normally even LIKE kale. I'm a vegan - I know I'm supposed to be crazy about kale but.. not everyone makes a salad like this one.. I added avocado, and that gave it an extra creamy kick. While I ate kale salad, my hubby ate fries. He thought they were outstanding. We ordered delivery and we were very happy with our several orders from Substance Diner.. that salad.. read more

Absolutely delicious diner inspired vegan food truck. The food is made to order and worth the wait. I opted for the fried pickles, which were a generous portion for $7 and a side of ranch. I also ordered the substance burger and it had this carnivore fooled! Full of flavor, loaded with toppings and cooked to perfection. 10/10 would order both items again and I can't wait to! If I could prepare vegan food this good, I'd eat it everyday. read more

The food is amazing very delicious! The cooks are very nice as well. So sad they aren't behind the coffee place anymore.

Substance is my go-to for vegan junk food even though my usual order is the kale salad! I love that they have an option to add protein (house made seitan). I've tried most of the lunch menu and you really can't go wrong. Plus delicious milkshakes and the best vegan ranch out there! read more

The vegan cheesesteak is unbelievable. I'm not vegan and I was quite skeptical after countless vegan meat substitutes I've tried being really dodgy and bland mush, but this was just incredible. I normally have a serious problem with vegan food trying to mimic meat (JUST MAKE GOOD VEGAN FOOD, STOP TRYING TO MAKE FAKE MEAT!) so I usually hate vegan meat substitutes, but this was just insanely good. read more

Fantastic flavorful food. All vegan paradise. Ordered online, picked up. Long wait times are worth it, they are making the food with love. read more

Oh. My. Vegan. God. We tried the Spicy Fricken Sandwich, the Mushroom Philly Cheezesteak sandwich and the TLT and the steak fries. We got everything 'to go' and even the fries held up to transport (and were still good left over after we reheated in our air fryer). We couldn't eat everything right away so we saved the Philly Cheezesteak for later but even reheated in the microwave, it was so good! The Spicy Fricken Sandwich had the best texture (that seitan cutlet is to die for - it was crisp but also juicy) and the TLT tofu "bacon" had a smoky bacon-y flavor and the best texture I have never experienced anywhere else (I love TLTs but the tofu has never been this combo of crisp/chewy anywhere else) but I have to say - the bread they use does not get soggy and is the perfect vehicle for the sandwiches. My omni spouse loved the food, too. We will be back!! read more

Great vegan food. A ton of vegan options. Everything I've ordered always impresses my vegan and non vegan friends. The prices are fair and the food is always made fresh with quality ingredients. My favorite things to order: Vegan breakfast burrito add tofu bacon and the spicy fricken things (seitan bites.) read more

This place is amazing. Crazy that this tiny food truck has some of the best vegan food we've ever had. We had the mushroom Philly cheesesteak, the fricken sandwich, and fries. And the guy in the truck was super friendly. So yummy. We'll be back. read more

The food is delicious and it's all plant based. I absolutely love the malt shakes. The area is super cute, it's convenient to sit and enjoy the eats at the local cafe next door. read more

Love the tasty comfort food we get at Substance! We always have to try something new whenever we go to Moto Sonora. Will probably have sampled the whole menu soon! read more

Bangin' food truck. Got the burger and side of fries. Top to bottom the burger was amazing, no additions needed, stellar bun to filling ratio, and I loved lickin my fingers clean afterwards. Fries were thick cut, lightly but well seasoned, well fried, not too "potatoe-y", ie not bland. Tried my friends' fried pickles and those were incredible, picks were still firm, and the fry on those was crunchy but not so breaded that you couldn't taste the pickles. Stoked to support this business, they're putting out great food and obviously care about what they're making. Alsooo, if you can order online that helps the rockstar putting food out keep on it, vs ordering at the window and they need to stop rolling on tickets to take your order then get back to it. I don't usually use my phone for food, but I read that they appreciate online orders for that reason, so it's pretty simple to make service a lil easier on our service industry friends while they're cooking us dank food :) read more

If this is the right substance it's outside of moto Sonora pretty often they do a really good job with burgers sandwiches french fries I'm sure they're milkshakes awesome and it's all vegan but you can't tell I fooled to carnivores today it was pretty cool read more

Ordering & paying was quick & easy! The food was delicious!!! I wasn't expecting a vegan food truck at a brewery & it was great!!! The TLT sandwich was sooo good & big. the fries are super good too, they season the fries with pepper & they taste great. It's a must try! Even my bf who is a carnivore had 2 huge bites of my sandwich & said it was good! read more

We attended MSA Annex Night Market on Friday. This looked like a cute food truck and we liked the menu options. We were waited on quickly and received friendly service. My son ordered a grilled cheese and a chocolate shake. He's super picky, but said it was amazing. I ordered the Mac n Cheese croquettes. I agree with his opinion; my food was also amazing. We both ordered fries, one with gravy and the other without. I'm quite the fry connoisseur and thought they were good. I didn't see any drink options besides shakes so I ordered from the bar. We only waited about 15 minutes for food. I'd definitely like to try a burger and the breakfast options. If you see this food truck, try it! read more

My partner and I decided to try this truck when it was parked outside of Crooked Tooth Brewery. I'm not vegetarian, but they are. I ordered the substance burger with avocado and cheese, and they ordered the vegan breakfast burrito. Wow! I swear, my burger tasted just like a delicious, upscale, veggie version of In N' Out. It was amazing. My partner deemed their meal the best breakfast burrito they'd ever had. The only reason for the four stars is that I wasn't a huge fan of the gravy fries. The gravy was a little lacking in flavor and kind of watery. Still, this is a really solid place that will please carnivores and vegetarians. Highly recommend! read more

I came to the MotoSonora Brewery with some friends. I tried out this food truck after reading the menu online. I had the Burger (without the pickled onions and dill pickles) and the Banana Split. The burger bun was gluten free, for those that can't have gluten I am sure this is a great option, but for me it was a bit lacking. The rest of the burger was good. The banana split (as you can see by the photo) looked like it had been dropped and looked nothing like a banana split, additionally there was no chocolate syrup as stated in the description. I will say I was not a fan of the cashew ice cream, but the organic banana and coconut whip cream were very good. Would have loved to try out the chocolate syrup, but like I said, that wasn't added. Service was relatively quick given how busy the person was behind the counter. On the plus side you can wait at the brewery while they make your order. Once done they will text you when it is ready. read more

This food truck was a real find. Really tasty! Hubby got the philly cheesecake ( meatless) and i got the ceasar salad. We were both really happy with our meals. A bit pricey but worth it! Good vegan is difficult to find so we were really pleased. Definitely recommend! read more

best vegan chicken sandwhich ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I always order it for delivery so I can't say anything about the actual place, but it's good read more

Probably should be 3 stars, but I am giving them 4 stars since they are new. The cheese fries taste good and are a generous portion of fries, but the skimpy amount of cheese was over melted to cheese crisp status. The $9 BLT tastes pretty good, but not amazing. For $9 it should either be on bread bigger than regular sandwich size or be stuffed with bacon and tomato, but it wasn't. read more

The food is good but the staff can be surly. After patiently waiting for more than an hour I went out to check on my order. The person working in the booth told me he texted me 3 times, even though I received no texts, and seemed quite annoyed. I am getting food elsewhere from now on. read more

Checked this place out when it was outside of Motorola Sonora Brewery. I'm vegan and tried the fish less tuna sandwich which was AMAZING. I wish I knew how they did it! My meat eater hubby also.said mine was bomb and he loved his BLT. The fries are amazing as well. The order took about 30 minutes which was no big deal to us because it was just one guy working and we were chilling and drinking beer anyway :) Definitely worth the wait!! read more

AMAZING! I had their burger and the Sonoran dog and they were so damn good! Last time I had the fried pickles which were just as fantastic. On the pricey side but it's totally worth it for the quality of food and supporting a local vegan friendly restaurant. Get the burger, trust me!! read more

I'll keep it short and simple, food is great, but service can be frustrating. I have ordered and paid online only to show up to pick up order and they didn't know anything about it. I have also ordered in person and have been told it will be ready shortly, and show up minutes later and they have no record of order, had to start all over again. Still worth it I think, but not sure I'll return if this happens again. read more
