“We went for a family lunch after a funeral. There were over 30 of us. The staff did a great job taking care of us. Food was delish, drinks were refilled,and food came out hot and fairly fast taking into account the number of people we had. The apple pie moonshine margaritas hit the spot. Will definitely be back! Thank you for taking care of out family. ❤️”

“I've been enjoying Mona's frybread and tamales for at least 18 years and have found none better! The awesome red chili is cooked on mesquite wood! I live in Tucson and the 27 miles one way to Mona's is well worth the drive! The tamales are good-sized and the masa to meat ratio is great! Also, no fillers like potatoes, carrots, etc. Mona always asks if we want olives. Hubby really likes her green corn tamales, but I'm stuck on the red! I can't recommend Mona's enough!”

“EXCELLENT CHOICE TO HAVE BREAKFEST and LUNCH. THE WAITRESS STAFF IS JUST OUTSTANDING. FRIENDLY ATMOSHPERE, THE FOOD IS ALWAYS GOOD, I HIGHLY RECOOMEND THE SKY RIDER AS YOUR SUNDAY MORNING BREAKFEST SPOT, OR ACTUALLY ANY DAY.”

“I love Lucky’s Boba but I’m not happy with the guy that works there at night. We went for boba about 8:00 p.m the Open sign was on and the door was unlocked. We had cash and really wanted my usual. And the guy was rude and throwing a fit. I will not be going to get boba if he is working. The ladies are really nice and kind. Otherwise”

“German chocolate shake???? Ummmm YES!!!! Never been as from out of state, referred by a local park ranger earlier in day (Thank you Ms. Ranger) and stopped on reverse trip back to hotel.

“This is part of the second set of cafes in the park. There is an accessible entrance area with a push to open Button. What's really nice about this Cafe is that it's super huge and there's plenty of seating that could fit many many groups. Another thing I liked is that not only did they have an order counter area if you wanted to order their food but they also had a nice selection of snacks to go including sections with assorted code drinks and they even had assorted sweet and salty snacks like popcorn.
Clean and open ambiance.”

“Love this place. Been going since they opened. My go to beverages are the iced green teas and fuel energy drinks. I get mine either the special for the month/holiday or ask for a surprise and they always hit it with that, havent had a combo i did not like. Price is in the same ballpark for coffee and specialty drinks.”

“Big Sexy Chicken Wangs & Things is packed full of flavor, a huge serving and its very reasonable. We had BSCW&T at the Tucson Quarter Midget Association Track last year and are happy they still attend and serve our families during race weekends. 10/10 (We love the fries and the buffalo chicken is mouth watering!)”

“Went with my wife last Sunday- thinking that the prices promise equal or higher value in return (the secret of successful business). The beans were served in a big bowl 15 minutes before the steak- with one spoon. Don't know if they were supposed to be consumed with the steak? or before? So, we shared the spoon and the beans before the steaks arrived. I had T-Bone priced 48.00! Supposed to be 1 pound according to the menu. On arrival, it was paper thin! - for sure about half of a pound- if that. I have to say "hats up to the cook"! I could never cook a piece that thin to medium rare, but he did! About the ambience that looks attractive at first glance: 10 little kids running around screaming the whole time while we were trying to enjoy a fairly high priced dinner that did not meet our expectation of price = value (at least) at all. The place is very well staffed- they just have to figure out how to spread more evenly to serve their guests more sufficiently. Three people showing up at the table within 3 minutes for the same purpose- and then 20 minutes of no service. All of that after a "family business" has been there for generations? Come on!”

“Had a blast at the birthday party!!🥳”

“Thank you to state trooper Romero for recommending this place to us on our drive to California. We enjoyed our meal, and very kid friendly.”

“Small shop, but uses space well. Nice clean area for picking up pre ordered items. A couple tables for in cafe eating. Staff is very competent and helpful. I wanted to cut back the sugar content of my smoothie and they suggested a couple ways to do so.”

“On Sunday night, November 16, 2025 my wife wanted to order dinner and us a 3rd party app called InKind which has a special offer of spend $100 get $50 off your order. We tried several times to figure out how to get the discount and couldn’t figure it out. My wife finally called the store and spoke to Brenda who was very helpful in trying to help us and apply the discount. Ultimately, we couldn’t make it work, so we just ordered dinner without the discount for pick up. 15 minutes later, my phone rang and it was Brenda from Thai Chili 2 Gilbert Crossing who proceeded to tell us a customer had come into the store and told her how to use InKind. She shared this process with us while on the phone with my wife and we successfully used InKind and received the designated discount. I want to stay that Brenda provided the best customer service and experience I’ve had in Gilbert in the last 11 years. Brenda is the consummate professional in customer experience/service and her management should be very proud to have a team member like Brenda. They have a customer for life from me and my dinner guests from a simple act of kindness and service to make a customer feel important to their local family owned Gilbert business! Respectfully submitted, Bob and Shelly B. Gilbert, AZ”

“It was such a good experience when he asked if I wanted an ice cube in my hot drink, in case I wanted to enjoy it right away instead of waiting for it to cool down. Thank you for being so mindful!”
