“Great Meal and great service. Luis was amazing person. The salsa was made at the table.”
“Table side salsa is the best! Menu selection is huge and the food is so good! I had lemon butter cilantro salmon, muy perfecto! Personable management and great wait staff, highly recommend Guadalajara’s!”
“There were two parts to the show, magic and a murder mystery. The murder mystery was interesting and challenging. The magic was outstanding. I watched carefully and could not see the sleight of hand. The magic show was interactive, and the audience was enthusiastic. A three course dinner was served, chicken masala, a good salad, and creme brule. The liquor price was quite reasonable and the food was very good. I had a very enjoyable evening.”
“My husband and I had breakfast for the 1st time here. It was amazing. They pay close attention to every detail. From the fresh flower with my food, to the side car of popcorn with my drink, made with a syrup they make in house. My husband's bloody mary was perfect too. Even the heart on the toothpick. Too cute. Service was exceptional. Caro took great care of us. Even recommended a drink, and it was delicious. We will definitely be back soon!”

“Have had nothing but absolute deliciousness from this place. Pasta, salads, sandwiches and the garlic aioli fries are to die for. Go! You won’t be disappointed!”
“Great food and atmosphere. It’s great to go somewhere local and get a taste of Louisiana! It’s been a long time since I’ve had gumbo, and it didn’t disappoint. And the hush puppies were great and we ended up getting an extra order. I look forward to trying more of the menu!”

“What a find !! Food and service is fantastic

But it’s a MUST try !!

My new Tucson FAVORITE 😋👍”
“Overall everything was great and tasty. Prices were accessible.”
“Great atmosphere, varied menu, and excellent service. All four of us LOVED our entree selections. Can't wait to go back and try something different.”
“Fantastic staff. Andy was amazing and attentive. The food was outstanding. I loved my flaming cheesecake!!”
“Service excellent, food inventive, delicious. Dark slick tile floors, unmarked change from floor to a step…there must be a bright reflective tape or paint for more than one site in the restaurant. I was injured falling having not seen nor felt the one step. Management was most solicitous and paid our bill. We would never have asked for this and were surprised and grateful.”

“Absolutely love this place. I’m a foodie and this is my favorite place to eat in Tucson. The flavors are bold and the ribs are cooked just right. The açaí place that’s inside the same building is also the best açaí place in town. My girlfriend and I have pretty much tried them all and we keep coming back to this one. The workers are all so friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is very laid back and inviting. The only thing the I wish they did differently is to SELL THE JERSEYS! I would 100% wear that around town and I’m not even a jersey guy, or even a sports guy. I just love this place that much. Thanks for bringing such a quality establishment to Tucson for our enjoyment!”
“This place has authentic Sonoran style hot dogs. I visit Hermosillo frequently and love the “dogos” so I know what I’m talking about! The hot dogs here are more like Hermosillo hot dogs than any other place I have tried in Tucson! The only criticism I can offer is they need to try and find the Hermosillo style buns with the deep pockets that can hold more toppings.”
“Dear Tito and Pep, Please refresh the menu. you are so talented ,passionate ,and creative with your food. Please share with us ( your Tucson)what other excellent culinary creations are in your heart, mind and soul. We love your foods and the story. So ,what is the next page in this beautiful Sonoran gastronomic adventure ? Go for it Chef!”
“Crumbles at the Landing is my favorite store in Tucson! Always have friendly staff!
Always quick with my orders and curbside!
Thanks guys for all the yummy treats”
“Renee's is one of my favorite places to eat. It's comfortable and delicious food - almost “home-cooked” but if your mom was a gourmet chef. I have enjoyed every dish I've ever ordered. The pizza is to die for and the pan seared chicken and tomato cream sauce is a fave. Her chicken Alfredo is some of the best Alfredo sauce and pasta dishes out there. And they have scrumptious vegan and vegetarian options and Zoodles!! Who doesn't love zucchini noddles?!? They do great takeout also but dining in for a quiet intimate dinner is always fun. Make reservations and just take the grownups.”

“Let’s Talk Tucson Tacos • Redbird Scratch Kitchen + Bar on Sam Houston knows what’s up in the kitchen and how to engage with their guests • our server Taryn was awesome • made great recommendations and her attentiveness was outstanding • These Tacos were absolutely 💯🔥 • Service Top Notch • Atmosphere 😎 • put this on your list of must eats in Tucson • They have 2 locations and yes we did go to both of them 😅 #tacos #tucsonfoodie #arizona #redbirdscratchkitchen”
“Finally tried Mojo, and it did not disappoint! Food, drink, and service were wonderful. I grew up on the east coast and have missed Cuban food; so happy to have a spot here in Tucson! I love that there were several sampler options so I could try a variety of dishes on my first visit: rum flight (silver), Plato Mixto, and Taste of Havana were all delicious. Will definitely be returning to try the rest of the menu. Shout out to our server who was welcoming and attentive!”
“While I only lived in Tucson for 6 months, I heard of so many great places. This place, was one of the best. 2nd to El Guerro Canello.. It's great for Tucson, I'll definitely be back there when I'm in Tucson. If you're in Phoenix, look up Comedor Guadalajara, no affiliation to Guadalajara Original Grill. .”

“Pizza perfection. Focaccia remarkable. Salads out of this world. My foodie expert friend says this is the best restaurant in Tucson. My first visit with him was epic so I'll have to ponder this accolade a bit before confirming.....still, I loved every order in our meal of 7 different items. Best: crispy focaccia with extra sausage.
No sign outside or in the window plays to the mysterious. Once you are inside, the peaceful atmosphere and scents from the giant wood pizza stove overwhelm. Have a beautiful meal and try as many menu items as possible. Anello is mighty fine.”

“The food is delicious. This place has a waiting line. I had the pecan waffles with sugar free syrup. The waffles are hot and tasty with plenty of pecans. The sugar free syrup tastes as good as regular. My husband had the Texas Patty Melt. We would definitely order these again. The service is outstanding by all who work here. But a special shout-out to Veva. Very sweet and efficient. She makes you want to return.”
“This Honors Village on the edge of the University of Arizona has the newest & BEST dorms and/or apartments, monitored entry 24/7. Six floors with 4 modern elevators for each wing are nicely situated around a beautiful green courtyard with hardscape areas for sitting, tanning/lounging and multiple recreation games, like outdoor chess or ping pong. Each floor has a large laundry room, study rooms, games rooms, & more. Rooms are large, peaceful & bathrooms are spacious, clean & private. We upgraded the shower standard shower head with rainfall head/handheld but must replace standard original head at move-out. Dorm Twin (XL) beds are raised above storage drawers, but no bunks. The 1st floor has entry desk, lobby, mailroom, multiple classrooms & the 85North restaurant, which serves a wide variety of meals each day. The North Rec Center across the entry plaza is convenient for workouts. Adjoining shake/smoothie joint is convenient afterwards and rates high with students. Safe, modern & clean with nearby bicycle parking, or permited ($750+/-annually) vehicle parking structure for residents. Super easy access to main roads for visitors or move-in/outs and in addition to the North Rec Center adjacency, it is located close to Eller School of Business, CAPLA, Law, or The Banner Hospital for medical students.
The only negative is that it is located on the outer NW edge of Campus, across Speedway. An underground pedestian tunnel a few blocks away, next to Eller Business School, makes crossing the heavily trafficked road convenient.
Prior approval & some Honors courses required & cost higher than other dorms, but all worth it. Suggest following Instagram - @uazfrankehonors”
“I have been their twice and they have not disappointed. The best customer service of any of the fast food joints and many of regular restaurants . I would like to acknowledge one person in particular, his name is STANLEY at the River location.Never been treated so well from the time I ordered to the time I walked out of the restaurant . KEEP UP THE GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE.”

“We live super close to licks and I love to always try a different flavor and there custom milkshakes are so good also, if you look to the right of the fridge and between the lounge area on the wall there’s a menu for a bunch of different types of ice cream like one is a peanut butter sorta vibe ice cream cone and also another amazing thing is there staff they are always so friendly, I highly recommend this if your driving by or if you are eating dinner somewhere near I definitely recommend stopping by.”
“This place gets it. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is effortlessly hip—modern, laid-back, and designed for people who actually want to sit, chill, and enjoy their pizza (no awkward standing tables or juggling slices here).
The pizza is next-level: perfectly blistered crust, high-quality toppings, and flavors that feel both creative and comforting. You can tell real thought went into every combo, not just what looks good on Instagram (though, yes, it absolutely does).
The drink menu is just as dialed in—well-crafted, refreshing, and clearly curated to pair with the food instead of distracting from it. Add in friendly, attentive service that never feels rushed, and you’ve got a spot that’s easy to settle into and hard to leave.
This is the kind of pizza place you recommend without hesitation—cool without trying too hard, cozy without being boring, and absolutely deserving of five stars. A huge Thank You to Jared and his team for bringing this spot to the Eastside of Tucson!!!”
“I came for a pastry. I left a changed woman.
Houlden’s Rise Above is not a bakery — it’s a culinary art gallery where the exhibits melt in your mouth. These artistic pastries layered with wildly creative ingredients didn’t just taste good… they altered my personality.
One bite and I forgot my responsibilities. My inner monologue switched to “how many of these can I legally eat before someone intervenes?” The textures? Immaculate. The flavors? Bold, imaginative, emotionally supportive.
This isn’t dessert — it’s edible craftsmanship. Each pastry feels like it was designed by a mad genius with a whisk and a dream.
If you’re counting carbs, turn around.
If you’re emotionally stable, proceed with caution.
If you appreciate flavor, creativity, and joy in its purest form — welcome home.
Houlden’s Rise Above: where pastries transcend reality and your standards are forever ruined. 🥐✨”
“just discovered this place.. i had the cuban taco plate and just yesterday, the chilaquilas? both were excellent. staff is friendly and takes their time to make sure they answer all your questions, never felted rushed. wonderful setting, very relaxing. i plan on eating my way through their menu.”
“I love the weekly variety. My kids love all the options and each one is so unique and delicious. We always order ahead so most the time we have no communication with anyone just there for the cookies.”
“Such a cute and cozy Turkish restaurant! They have a beautiful indoor patio as well as outdoor seating, which makes the atmosphere really inviting. The food selection is amazing with a big variety of options to choose from.
The staff was extremely kind and welcoming, especially Angel. She was very helpful and friendly, and when she found out we drove 2 hours from Phoenix, she kindly offered us complimentary tea so we could relax before the long drive back. That thoughtful gesture really stood out.
Highly recommend this place for both the food and the hospitality!”

“The food is incredible and the owner is the most real & incredible human. Story time: 5 or so years ago I went in to pick up food - I was having the worst day. I was sick, I was fighting with an awful human non stop and I had just finished a 22 day straight gem show job. I sat down to wait for my food and the owner saw my sorry state and just came out and started putting a bunch of shots of juice in front of me. Literally fixed my day and my life for moment. I get emotional just walking into this place. Nothing but warmth and love. ❤️❤️❤️”
“First thing I say when we walk in, "OMG this place smells AMAZING!!", and tasted even better! Best falafel and gyro I've ever had!! I like that the falafel is patties instead of balls like most places. It was cooked perfectly..crispy crunchy on the outside, soft and almost cake-like on the inside. You get 4 cakes to the order plus pita bread, cucumbers and tomatoes. The gyro is HUGE!! I couldn't even pick it up to try and eat it until I ate some of the meat out of it, which btw, is flavored so beautifully that you don't really need the tzatziki sauce but definitely worth putting on bc the flavors of both go together so well! I HIGHLY recommend going to Istanbul if you want outstanding Mediterranean food in a good atmosphere! This place definitely get 👍👍 from this food enthusiast!!”
“I had my retirement party there a little over a week ago. The staff was great - helpful, attentive, yet unobtrusive... and also friendly and just really nice. The food was absolutely fantastic. All of my guests raved about the dinner and the cakes we had for desert. So many thanks to the chef(s) for a delicious meal. The venue was charming and, because the weather was about perfect that night, we were able to enjoy the patio as well as being inside. I can't thank the staff at Café a la C'Artl/Carte Blanche catering enough for making our celebration so great!”

“Absolutely love Wings Y Mas - always friendly staff, fantastic pricing, and delicious food. I stopped enjoying wing nights when Buffalo Wild Wings went downhill and the price of wings most places is insane - but Wings Y Mas has truly found the perfect balance. Their Hot traditional wings have a perfect balance of heat but still flavorful. The wings are always meaty and cooked to perfection. If you’re on the fence about trying them - just do it. You won’t regret it. Accept when they’re closed and you’re craving it 😅 10/10 love this place!”
“Excellent meal. Mushroom soup intensely flavored and supremely delicious, scallops perfectly seared, bone marrow was perfect, king salmon was amazing. Great wine selection. Professional yet friendly staff. Can't wait for my next visit!”
Fine Dining
“Where do I even begin? Emma’s Delights Home Cafe is truly the best — every pastry and drink is made completely from scratch with so much love and care. I absolutely adore their weekly porch bake sales! I tried the challah bread and the single-serve caramel pineapple upside-down cake, and oh my goodness — both were divine. The bread was soft, fluffy, and perfectly balanced in sweetness, while the cake was moist and bursting with flavor. And don’t even get me started on the Their pumpkin spice walnut loaf — it was baked to perfection, with just the right blend of spices. Highly, highly recommend!
Try them out before knocking them down. Ya.”
“We tried Bashful Bandit for the first time today, it was delicious. I also really appreciated the customer service, the employees were very patient with our kids and helped them pick out a meat they would like (they both thought it was tasty and are picky eaters!)”
“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. ❤️”

“Drove 50 miles for the best Indian food in Tucson! Read about it and couldn't’ wait to try. It did not disappoint. Best Indian food since I lived in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Fabulous! Can’t wait to go back. Had: Chicken Tikka Masala, Butter Chicken, and Paneer Tikka Masala. Along with Naan. Made to order. Thank you!!”
“Amazing gelato with crunchy delicious variety of cones available. Super nice employees (please tip them) that are very personable, professional and quick to help their customers. I was never a fan of gelato until I had Bella's. Totally hooked...I'd eat it daily if I could. 😃🐾🐕”
“This Tucson Sub spot never misses! Always HITS! They have a variety of sub options on their menu, as well as healthy choice options from wraps to salads. Don’t be afraid to ask about their secret menu options either! The owner recommended one today (see photo below) and it was absolutely everything I wanted in a sub sandwich. Great tasting ingredients, not shy of filling the bread up, threw that extra cheese just right, and had a spicy kick to it. I have tried a few different sandwiches on the few occasions I have returned, and some menu items I have revisited, always with the same love and preparation as the time before. Beyond the food, is the service. This Ma and Pop shop heart and soul is in its hospitality and welcoming feeling, and it directly reflects into the food they serve on a day to day. I have found no reason to go to any other sub place in town because, for me personality, this one takes the cake. Amazing people, outstanding service, delicious food, great value, all in one locally owned and operated location right here in Tucson.”
“Good Morning, I wanted to express my gratitude for such wonderful and delicious Pan Dulce. Being born in Tijuana, Baja California and raised in Los Angeles, California my entire life . I thought I would never find this exquisite baked delights. La Estrella Bakery transported me to wonderful time of my childhood. I now reside in Oro Valley, AZ . I came to your bakery and had such a pleasant experience with your wonderful staff. May God continue to bless you and all of your hard work and of course your entire staff for creating these wonderful and delightful baked goods and most definitely your delicious Tortillas. 😊🙏🏻❤️🇲🇽 Sincerely, New Customer Salvador Horta”
“Honestly, this place has some of the best quality coffee I have ever had. I’m an avid coffee drinker and have tried coffee all over and make my own at home. It’s such a treat to get a 24oz from Coffee Times Drive-Thru. If you haven’t been here before I absolutely recommend it. Plus the staff is always super friendly. I’m glad they are still in business and survived the pandemic. I hope they stay in business for years to come. Thank you so much Coffee Times for the opportunity to support a wonderful local coffee shop!”
“If I could plan and host any New Year’s Eve party, I wanted, with whatever food I wanted, and the best band I could think of, I would be too late! Jackrabbit lounge on Oracle already did exactly that!”
“The food is amazing. Best Italian since I moved to AZ from NY 30 years ago. I drive from Sierra Vista just to eat here...😁”
“Every menu item Ive tried has been top notch in flavor, presentation, portion size. Moe and his crew are the best!”
“Insane fusion and taste. I’ve ordered a lot of different things off their menu and all the pizzas are bomb. The real deal and nothing like it. We go sit down or order pickup. Had many people try it too.They never miss 🎯”
“This is a great place to eat, the options are great, the staff is friendly. If you have a large party, 6+ people, everyone must be there before they sit you down. The food looked good and tasted good, we were servidor relati el fast however, we had a large party (13), we had 3 children but unfortunately the children were the ones that got servidor last. Everything else was good.”
“I highly recommend. Woaw everything was so flavorful. I want some fresh ceviche right now its 6am its on my mind already! The sauce I could just drink. I do a tiktok review 5/5 Stars”
“The atmosphere and decor of the place is my kind of bar. I love the service and the food. I love this place and will go as long as they are there.”
“The food, the service, and the experience of our order was incredible. Thank you later for making us feel welcome.”
“I Had a Great Experience!
The Server Did a Great Job assisting Me With the Menu and Ordering. Daniel Was very Friendly and Helpful with How to Order our Food. I tried the Alaskan Rolls, and Some Shrimp and More;!”
“Staff was very friendly and the dining experience was great.”
“My wife and I ate here impromptu as we were having drinks nearby. This place offers great sushi (authentic, creative, priced appropriately ). The evening we visited they ran out of rice, but instead of stressing their situation, they gave us an extra roll that didn’t require the rice and it was fantastic! We will definitely be back!”
“Proposed to my fiancée at this beautiful establishment. Service was incredible and the place has a great ambiance. The food was delicious! Our go to restaurant 🫶🏾 Also, thank you so much to the owners for sending a bottle of champagne over to our table!”
“Had a great time. Had a few drinks and did some some Park bingo trivia they were having the pints for parks. The national parks in Arizona. Then we also went outside. They had Muncheez food truck outside for food and if you ever see this truck set up you have got to stop and get their food. It was phenomenal. The burger had so much flavor and the tacos were just so juicy and delicious. They were just amazing so if you ever see that truck that is a definite must of a food truck.”
“I attended Late Night with Morani Sanders Quartet at the Century Room. It was outstanding. Great venue, great service, and the music was top notch. :-)”
“Very tasty and great service. The girl behind the counter was super friendly and excited to offer me recommendations as to which macarons pair well with the different gelato flavors. I got a cookies and cream gelato with a pistachio macaron and it was delicious!”
“The molcajete was incredible. So yummy and the presentation is very fun as well. Cassandra was an excellent server and provided great service and constant check ins on when the food and drinks would be ready. Would definitely recommend stopping by this place.”
“The food is good however I did not have a great experience this evening so I’ll likely stick to just placing pickup orders.”
“What a great find during our visit to the University of Arizona! After touring the beautiful campus (and I highly recommend checking out the tree ring lab if you haven’t already), we took a stroll through downtown Tucson before heading back to our hotel. After browsing a few shops, we were ready for a bite, and we’re so glad we stumbled upon Agave House.
This isn’t your typical Mexican food. It’s a step up, with unique flavors and an upscale twist that made it stand out. We sat at a bar-style table on the outdoor patio, which was the perfect spot for people-watching while enjoying our meal. The food was fantastic, and the staff was friendly and attentive, making for a great overall experience.
If you’re in the area, I highly recommend making a stop at Agave House. You won’t be disappointed!”
“Perfect spot for Sunday lunch with a good friend. We highly recommend the refreshing watermelon 🍉 margaritas and mango ceviche, followed by the chicken tinga bowl and dulce de leche chocolate cake. Great ambiance and amazing service. We will definitely be back again soon!”
“We enjoy coming in, waiters are absolutely wonderful and super friendly. Managers are just as awesome!”
“We love Kingfisher so much that we had our wedding there 4 years ago. So of course we celebrated our anniversary there last night! New owner Jackie and her wonderful staff saw to it that we had a wonderful meal, including a very special dessert. When Murph and his partner retired we were concerned about how the place would change but our subsequent visits have been wonderful. Highly recommend this place to anyone who appreciates great food and fabulous service!”
“Beautiful resort. Not that touristy. I hate crowds. The spa was nice. The food delicious!”
“Restaurant was large, so altho there was a line all the way outside, it moved very quickly. We were not impressed with the food and felt it was very overpriced. It's in the middle of an Old West theme park, so had alot of kid friendly things to do.”
“It was amazing the rooms were great the pool was amazing the food was ok”
“We came by after the Rodeo. The place was packed but the atmosphere was fun so the time passed quickly for us to get a table. Prime Rib and Ribeye. We asked for rare, we got rare. Yum Yum.”
“Took our friends here for friend's birthday. Eric our server was fantastic. But even better the food. We all got steaks. Cooked to perfection. The live music 🎶 🎸 guitar player was a nice touch to listen as we ate. First time here, definitely not our last. 😋🥩”
“*A favorite outdoor coffee/breakfast spot - I’ve only visited the cafe, not the restaurant*
This little cafe is one of my favorite spots to sit outside with a friend for a breakfast treat. Really the outdoor seating is the highlight here. I love sitting under the shade of the old olive tree and it’s so refreshing when they turn on the misters.
It’s also a treat to see the quality locally made goods they curate for sale. It’s very thoughtfully picked and they have exquisite taste that doesn’t feel at all intrusive. The location is also perfect for grabbing a refreshing drink, then walking around the historic neighborhood to see the shops and art galleries. It’s a wonderful way to spend a chill day walking around Tucson.
The food is decent with high-quality ingredients, but not memorable (I possibly have higher standards coming from Portland). In my opinion, it’s highly priced for the quantity and quality of what they deliver, so, while I appreciate the space, I’ve chosen not to order meals here anymore and stick to just coffee and a breakfast sandwich if it’s available. Their baked goods always look delicious, but all three times I’ve tried them, they’ve been dry and disappointing. Overall, I still love this little place for the atmosphere and find it to be one of the most enjoyable cafes to sit outside with a friend. I do wish the prices were more reasonable and the food/baked goods were good enough to keep me dreaming of my next visit.”
“This food is pretty good! got the chicken shawarma plate. Was done really fast, was kinda questionable how fast it came out. But the flavors are amazing, and definitely a lamb dish next time.”
“everything was exceptional. probably some of the highest quality sushi that we have had in Tucson. We will definitely be returning. very friendly service as well.”
“Love the music! Good food. Nice little shops. My favorite venue and a great location.”
“This was the 4th year that we celebrated the birthday of an elder in our community at Red Lobster. The staff were phenomenal, particularly the manager, Chrys. We were a large group with separate checks and lots of needs! Everyone made us feel at home! We will be back next year.”
“I live in Rochester NY and this is my favorite restaurant. I go to the one in college town or in Henrietta. The food is outstanding! I can have my rice bowls and teas any way I want them. The ingredients are always fresh and cold, and taste perfect!”
“The service is among the best in Tucson, our server is always welcoming, prompt and extremely knowledgeable about the menu and specials, no matter who serves us when we go. The menu is expansive and everything sounds delicious, but I keep coming back for the chef’s creative specials. Wild Garlic truly has a unique and flavorful style when it comes to the beautiful food and the carefully crafted cocktails. To me, the price is more than worth the experience!”
“Had the "let us pick for you" menu, which included some things not on the written menu. Everything was delicious, and I would definitely do that again. Service was impeccable. Staff were attentive and so helpful. I can't say enough good things.”
“Great place ! All the food is delicious and the staff is amazing”
“such a gem! we’re so lucky to have a place like this in Tucson, The food is absolutely authentic Ethiopian flavors that make every visit feel special. Honestly, anything you order from the menu is delicious.
What makes it even more unique is the atmosphere, it feels like you’ve been invited into someone’s home. I believe it actually was a family home before they turned it into a restaurant, and you can feel that warmth and authenticity the moment you walk in. The bread alone is completely addicting, it’s a real problem lol. We’ve been here multiple times and it does not disappoint if you’re craving Ethiopian food!”
“This is a great wine bar with a super selection of fantastic Arizona wines. For those that don't know, there are a LOT of great Arizona wines to choose from, so this is a great place to try some out and find your favorites. For those that do know... see you there! 😊”
“the food was great. the server let me taste the smoked plum juice. definitely have to get that next time. staff was friendly and helpful for first time being there.”
“Speaking of El Charro Cafe, let me just say that the dining experience there was a gastronomic rollercoaster of delight. WOW! The food was insanely good, the kind that makes your taste buds do a little happy dance. The portion sizes? Let's just say you won't leave hungry, and the plate presentation is worthy of an art exhibit. The service and ambience didn't disappoint either; it was the cherry on top of our savory outing.”
“Their food is delicious. They have a skilled chef who makes their food with perfection! it's also fresh every time!”
“Quesabirras and the Torta de Pollo was so yummy per my Hubby. The Bartender was so nice and the drinks were cold. My Michelada with Modelo was spot on. Go try.. 🍻👏😍🙃”
“Unbelievable delicious food. Prices are good, service was nice and no need to make reservations. Will definitely come back.”
“Absolutely loved our experience here! The Nom Nom Balls, Crispy Brussels, and Crispy Calamari were all top tier — flavorful, fresh, and beautifully plated. The Classic Mojito and Martini Espresso were spot on. Great food, amazing service, and a cozy, stylish atmosphere. Highly recommend supporting this bomb local spot!”
“I’ve lived in Tucson for a few years now, and every time I have visitors I try to bring them here. First off, the space is whimsical and inviting, with fluffy clouds hanging above and an earthy green-blue all around. The display case of truffles, pastries, and ice cream is like something out of a movie. The chocolate itself is complex and balanced. The packaging itself is art. I particularly enjoy the mesquite white chocolate, the hot chocolate, and any of their truffles. They also have a lovely market stocked with local goods and gifts. The last time I was in there, the person at the counter offered recommendations, asked about my favorite flavors, smiled, waited patiently while I took forever to make my selections, and offered samples! The closest thing to perfect customer service (and genuine kindness) you’ll find.
I find myself having to comment on pricing too often in reviews, mostly in response to others’ low reviews based solely on pricing. To be blunt, costs are high because of failed international economic policy first and foremost. If you’re reading this and cost (as opposed to quality, flavor, experience, or anything else) is of utmost concern to you when deciding where to buy chocolate (or any food, for that matter), this might not be the place for you. If you’re willing and able to spend your money on local, quality goods that go the extra mile (and support our local economy) this spot won’t disappoint!”
“Popped into Figs without any expectation or idea of what the concept was.
Sat at the bar without any wait and was immediately and warmly greated by Peyton.
Service was excellent, light hearted, and professional.
Enjoyed the Oven bread dish that had a fig spread, whipped ricotta and crispy onion, or shallot. Excellent.
The cocktail I had was delicious as well, I only wish I could remember the name!
I'll be back to try out more of the menu options in the future.
Cheers!”
“It was a quiet night on a Wednesday. Had great conversation with Jesus about Mezcal and cocktails. Food was good, but the conversation made the experience. Highly recommend sitting at the bar with Jesus and chatting!”
“Thank you for coming to Green Hills, TN! Service is stellar, food is awesome, just totally love the vibe of this place! Black Truffle Pizza is my new favorite!”
“Took the family out for lunch. Had the pepper chicken myself and it was most excellent. Of course the spring rolls and lettuce wraps were great as well. We got there a little after 1 pm so it wasn't too crowded. Our server Adrianna was awesome. She was friendly and helped with menu suggestions. Adrianna made the whole experience even better. Prices are on par with other places like P. F. Chang's.”
“La mesera Aaliyah nos dio muy buen servicio. Y tuvimos una muy buena experiencia y ademas fue muy paciente con nosotros! Fue el mejor servicio de toda mi vida Amen! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!”
“This is an excellent spot for a social Gathering, especially on 1/2 price Tuesday. They have plenty of space for groups, good seating, a large bar area and they split checks as well. Easily one of the best gathering spaces in Tucson.”
“My husband and I have eaten at PY Steakhouse 4 times for special events, birthdays and anniversaries. PY had never disappointed. Excellent steaks, superb wines and great desserts. Well worth the price for special occasions.”
“My husband, daughter and I tried dinner here for the first time last night and were not disappointed! The atmosphere was very casual and the service and food were both amazing! We had the bruschetta, carbonara, pollo parm and finished off with a slice of cheesecake! I love that they brought the dessert selection out on a tray so you can see everything that’s available before choosing. The visual of the actual food sometimes sways you and makes all the difference! We will be back for sure and I can’t wait to try something new!”
“The food and service were excellent. Josh, Server, was extremely courteous and professional. I highly recommend visiting Persian Room and look forward to future visits to Persian Room.”

“This was the 4th year that we celebrated the birthday of an elder in our community at Red Lobster. The staff were phenomenal, particularly the manager, Chrys. We were a large group with separate checks and lots of needs! Everyone made us feel at home! We will be back next year.”
“Out waiter, Chadwyck, when out of his way to make sure my son and I were happy, and described the difference between hash browns & country potatoes so kindly. I would also like to comment on your bathrooms- so pleased to see a space for changing diapers in the ladies restroom, and all the rolls of toilet paper- BRILLANT!!! No one likes to get caught "with their pants down"”
“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!”
“When entering the restaurant, we were impressed with the cleanliness and our friendly waitress Jaime that greeted us with a smile. She was very friendly and accommodating to making us feel welcome. Jaime was johnny on the spot from beginning to the end of meal and checking to take care of our needs. we had egg drop soup that was unlike other ones that were watery and lacked substance. Egg rolls crispy and full of vegies. Had Chicken and broccoli that the lunch portions were like a dinner with some to take home. Good portions!! We will return again!! Thanks Jaime for making our visit one that we want to return!!”
“Delicias has turned out to be our favorite place to go to eat since moving to the area. There are lunch and dinner specials which are great. They serve large portions and the food is tasty. The bean dip served when you sit at the table is excellent. Delicias has the best margaritas we have ever tasted, including in Mexico. The staff is warm and friendly.”

“Wonderful place! Food is all home made and excellent though a bit pricey. Ambience is a bit loud, but the historical significance and charm outweighs all this. Best country fried tofu sandwich ever! Hard to find good vegetarian options with this much flavor. Friendly and quick service and staff. Great for a stroll down town to for Dillinger Days!! One of my favorite spots to brunch or dinner before a show downtown.”

“Don’t believe the reviews from sept/October. It was brand new to the area and the workers were all brand new. Not to mention the line of cars because it was so popular! They were very busy, mistakes are bound to happen when you’ve got 40 cars lined down the street. Imagine 100+ people bombarding your job on your first day! Arkansas native where the company originates and I’ve never had a bad experience with 7 brew. They’re amazing and I recommend the rocky road hot chocolate! Delicious. They offer so much more than dutch bros or starbucks like quality smoothies, coffee, energy drinks, teas and more. The best and closest thing to a mom and pop coffee shop locally! Great prices. got a medium for $3 more like 4 with the tip. Can’t beat that anywhere!”
“Absolutely loved finally getting to visit their physical coffee shop—it’s such a fantastic experience seeing it all come to life! The space and menu are beautifully inspired by Persian flavors, and they offer a great variety of vegan and dietary-friendly options. I had the pistachio cold coffee (incredible!), and the owner suggested oat milk instead of almond—it was the perfect choice. I paired it with a pistachio cookie, and honestly, it was an unbeatable combo. If you’re anywhere near Tucson, this spot is a must. My wife and I drove 45 minutes each way, and we will do it again very soon.”
“Late post but my girlfriend and I visited your establishment on Monday evening around 7pm. We are from Ireland and we are also vegan. We were very excited when we saw this location on Google with vegan options but we had no idea that there would be such an awesome variety of vegan options! All of their classic pizzas they can make vegan! Even down to the meats! Best part, the ranch and Canolis are also vegan and made locally and in house.
We didn't know what to order, everything looked, smelled and sounded too good. Luckily, the staff is so welcoming and make you feel like you are just amongst friends. The cashier chick really seemed as excited for us to try all things vegan just as much as we were and she made sure we ordered the ranch and canolis! She and Robert also helped us decide on a compromise for the actual pizza when it came to toppings and their team work truly made the dream work!
You can tell that all three employees that were working Monday night have a passion for this place and it makes a difference as a customer to feel as welcomed as we did.
Now the taste... We've never had pizza this incredible before. I am still having dreams about it!
Sadly, Ireland is calling us back home but if we ever come back to the states we will be at your door.”
