Their FBI Roll-Ups with gunpowder guacamole are explosive according to ATF! According to our special agent in charge their Guantanamo Bay scallops with seditious conspiracy sauce are out of sight and to die for!
Amazing and delicious food. Options from pulled pork to tuna melts to Carne asada fries! You can't go wrong with any of it!
Unique food and nice photos on wall and outdoor seating. Hubby and I each had a breakfast burrito which I enjoyed for 2 more days. (that big!)
These guys are super friendly and know their stuff. Hamburger was the best I've ever had. So fresh, juicy and flavorful. The bun was "to die for. "
Really great Mexican food. Hand picked gourmet ingredients.Best hamburger I have ever eaten with premium meat ground on siteGreat service. I would recommend to everyone
Having read the other reviews I'm trying to decide if I ate at the same restaurant. I've been there twice, opening weekend and a couple weeks ago. I'm one of the AARP motorcyclists who populate Arivaca road. My first time there I ordered the recommended special, a burrito. It was a brownish grey paste in a flour tortilla. I thought it was refried beans but the owner chef assured me it wasn't. I wrote it off as opening weekend jitters. Last sunday I pulled in at 9 am to an empty house. When I decided it was open, the lighted Open sign was a clue, I went in and ordered a breakfast sandwich on a croissant. Three other customers had come in and ordered. While I waited for my sandwich they were all served. Upon asking about my order the young man said they were out of croissants and I should order something else. This was after I paid and waited. I ordered the biscuits and gravy. It arrived lukewarm served over obviously frozen biscuits and on a tissue. Nothing good to say about it. I would have complained but was deterred by the handgun the young man at the counter had strapped to his hip. A disappointing experience.
Stopped in at this place for the first time, I had heard the food was very fresh and the food did not disappoint! I had the greek gyro and it was delicious, the crumbled feta was a nice touch. Definitely worth a trip!
Lorenzo and Santino rock! They always go overboard and fix me my meal so it fits my keto diet… I got to say I love this food the atmosphere and everything about this place.. and maybe you’ll get lucky and see some horses hitched up here when you show up?
Surprisingly good. Breakfast Burrito I had was very tasty and filling. Several choices of hot sauce. Staff were very friendly. At this time full regular menu is only open on specific days. Check in advance.
Charming, funky little cafe with a friendly, welcoming owner and his enthusiastic son. Rural setting in a beautiful landscape complete with a friendly horse tied up outside. Absolutely delicious burgers-best we've eaten in a very long time. Great Americano made with beans from Benson. It was one of the highlights of our trip to the Buenos Aries National Wildlife Refuge.

What a great experience. This is real homemade food, not processed Sysco junk, which is what we often find at remote cafes. We enjoyed burritos and the coffee was made with extra magic, this is top-quality coffee and my breve was to die for. Service was so friendly, too. Don't miss the secret spicy red salsa.
Great addition to the sparse food options in the area. Good people, food, and outdoor space. I hope they get their full menu going on the weekdays.
I'd read about this cafe opening, so took my sister-in-law and we drove to Arivaca. The owners had a water pipe break that morning - their main business is coffee - but they soldiered through with great attitude. I had the Sonoran hot dog. No bacon wrap, but bacon crumbles instead - better and delicious! And, I chose a beverage from their cooler of interesting, off-brand sodas. There are no "servers" - you order at a counter. The "decor" is essentially non-existent, as they just opened, so don't expect this to be like a GV restaurant. There was a steady stream of locals coming in, including a gal that offered to bring water to them. As locals will be their "bread & butter", I'm encouraged that they will make it. There was also a group of bikers stopping for coffee - one of the owners ran out to the parking lot to explain the lack of water. This young man is very positive, very engaging - the bikers ended up coming in anyway, instead of being disappointed about no coffee. I love the drive to/from Arivaca, and I love Arivaca itself - one of the few true small towns left. I will gladly support Tumbleweed any time I pass through!
So happy to see this father-son cafe open in Arivaca. Coffee is good and the pulled-pork sandwich is a treat.
Great little spot for great fancy coffees (Vanilla Latte) and the croissant sandwich with bacon egg and cheese was wonderfully fresh. My husband had the Cowboy burrito. Everything was great. We will visit again soon.We stopped in after camping for the weekend last week.
