“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!”
“Amazing experience. Enjoyed talking to the people we sat with. Each performer comes by each table before the shows start which was fun. Full of magic, laughter, celebrations, good vibes, and overall fun. I was amazed by it all! Very well done. Definitely recommend this little slice of magic”

“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!”

“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.”
“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!”
“Paula was a fantastic server. She got our order right and smiled often when speaking to my sister and myself. I was a little disappointed that you do not serve tortilla soup the flan made up the difference. The experience was great. Thanks Paula. The manager came by our table too!”
“The food is amazing - even my carnivore partner has ordered multiple times. The often sold out brookie is 🧑🍳 😘. I remember when it went from an idea (voting on the logo) to reality. I’m soooo glad you have proven the naysayers (“this will never be successful”) wrong!!”
“Indian Twist is fantastic! The chicken tikka masala and coconut chicken were full of flavor and cooked perfectly. The chicken samosas were crispy and absolutely delicious on their own. The garlic naan was fresh and soft, a perfect side to the meal. Vegetarian options are plentiful and just as tasty. With friendly staff and a beautiful, welcoming atmosphere, this was a wonderful dining experience!”

“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Kiss of Smoke catered our Awards Banquet last night and everyone raved about the food! Many came back for seconds and thirds! Looking forward to visiting the restaurant to try all the other items on the menu too. Thank you for a 5 star experience from start to finish!”

“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.”
“The workers in the evening are beyond kind. Super patient &greet you with smiles each time I go. The parking is huge. It's right off the 10 freeway. Super easy to get to. The dining area is exceptionally clean and super cozy. Not going over there and just munching on my food while I meditate read. Surf the net or simply chat with family? Once I'm done I'm off and about and it's so easy to hop right on the freeway to get back to my home. Please stop by the Carl's Jr cuz it's a great place to just go chill”
“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.”
“I'm so happy with Angelos! I am done forever with Uber eats. They let their drivers do batch orders and the food just travels in a car and gets cold. The food is delicious! It was hot! A really nice young man dropped it off that works there and it was on time. Shout out to Angelos!”
“So much fun! We’re not from Tucson but had heard all about Sonoran Hot Dogs and were eager to try them. This food truck was highly rated on Google and Yelp so we decided to give it a go. The hot dogs did not disappoint. I’ve never had anything like it, but it was quite delicious. I’m not a hot dog fan in general but these were delicious.”
“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!!!”
“Wow wow wow 🤩 👌🏽⭐️🥇
This bakery is amazing!!! Sourdough bread top notch. Whole wheat bread delicious. The rosemary bagel and cinnamon bagel with cream cheese we bough super gooooood. Also got the Cuban bread fresh and delicious. The tomatoes and cheese focaccia 🤤 soooo good. Spoke to Don, the owner, he is Kind, helpful, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Made us feel welcome and valued. Must go place to get your sourdough fix.”
“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.”
“Randomly stumbled upon this place while visiting Tuscon. The dude had an Earth Crisis shirt, and the soundtrack was equally rad. Super diverse range of baked goods. Donuts, berry pop tart, & smores cronuts! There were also savory goods we didn't get, but may need to later this week. We also picked the brains of the guys working about other spots around town for vegan food and coffee, and they gave us a solid list of local suggestions. All vegan. All delicious. Super nice dudes.”
“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!!”

“Great Neapolitan-style wood-fired pizza on sourdough crust, available sourdough loaves, interesting vegetable and salad dishes, wine, and dessert including one using Monsoon chocolate (a local Tucson chocolatier). Sonoran Restaurant Week is usually a standout time to visit. I only wish the standard menu served a few more varieties of pizza. I would visit more often.
Don't expect to have a private diving experience, though. You'll share long bench tables with other groups or couples. Get to know your neighbor or pretend you didn't overhear them.
Cost is highly variable. Pizza alone was under $20 the last time I visited, but you miss out on a lot if you skip the other offerings.
The real gripe around ANELLO is literally the changing area around it. The gentrification of the area has brought in an unlimited supply of parking meters and standardized commercial enterprises. Still, the food inside Is worth trekking past the increasing blandness outside.
Speaking of outside, the pure white building across the street from ANELLO reflects the sun something terrible depending on when you dine.”
“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!”
“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. ❤️❤️❤️”

“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.”
“if you go for the prime rib dinner make sure you get there early. they don't start serving till 5:00 but there was a lot of people there and they ran out”
“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!”

“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!!”
“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”
“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.”
“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.”
“We love Renee's for the amazing gluten free food available!!! It's wonderful to find a place that tastes so authentic but also accommodates our allergies!”
“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. .”
“My Husband and I were is Tucson and stopped by your restaurant for lunch. What a treat! The perogies were fantastic. Husband had the polish sausage and thoroughly enjoyed it. Keep on doing what you’re doing! You’ve got it right!”
“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!”
“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!”
“My wife and I went last night for the first time. Best steak I have had in Tucson in a long time. Highly recommend!!”
“Es un lugar delicioso,exquisito con un sabor casero. Excelente Servicio, Recomendado al 100%.”
“Wow. I was stationed in Japan for 7 months in the army. This is very close to Japan level Sushi flavor. Great attention from staff. Better than Ra Sushi. Come here. You wont be disappointed.”
“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. :-)”
“This place is our go-to for sushi, the food is great, the service couldn't be better, and they are quick to get everything to the table. Definitely a good spot for sushi in Tucson”
“Food is Phenomenal!!! Service is on point and atmosphere is awesome 👌🏽”
“We opted to sit outside, where the tables are larger, and the temperature was pleasant. But after 30 minutes, as we had been warned, a loud musical act fired up on the outdoor stage. It was so loud that we couldn't talk. We asked to move inside, and they immediately reset us inside with no fuss. The food was very good, with nice variety on the menu. The prices were reasonable, and the service was very attentive.”
“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...😁”
“Wonderful experience we had shrimp …beef ..salmon 4 different people at our table! All thrilled wonderful portions and Ty was a wonderful attentive but not overbearing server. All his recommendations were excellent ..dessert was great. He even asked me to bring in my Boston creme pie so he could try it :)… sorry Ty we are leaving town or I would!”
“The place was run by a man and wife team and they were very nice and the only thing better was their food
The man treated us like family with so.e old world delights.”
“We loved our burgers and the brussel sprouts were delicious too! The service was excellent and the kids burger with fries was plenty of food for our 10 year old. Next time I want to save room for a milkshake for dessert!”
“Food is Phenomenal!!! Service is on point and atmosphere is awesome 👌🏽”
“The food, the service, and the experience of our order was incredible. Thank you later for making us feel welcome.”
“Very friendly and helpful employees. Great selection of food and drinks. Menu has good descriptions. Prices are a bit higher than my budget, but the food was worth every dollar. Steak cooked to the perfect temperature and seasoned just right. The service was amazing.”
“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!)”
“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”
“We got there just after a huge rush on a Sunday. It was our first time there. They were slammed judging by the number of people leaving and tables full of plates/bottles. Misty came running over as soon as she could. Apologized several times for the wait. We were ready to order when she arrived. Luckily there was a menu left from the earlier people. It is self seating. Good selection of food and drinks. Service was excellent. Plenty of refills for our water. Food delivery was good and perfect timing. Good logistics. Food was great! We will be back.”
“This place makes me miss Tucson! The BEST food, and such a good place to enjoy a good time and some good food :)”
“Stopped in for lunch today and had Victor as my server. He was super attentive to my group and the food was awesome. Been there a few times and he’s the best server I’ve had there yet.”
“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!”
“Absolutely delicious as always. Phenomenal flavors packed with love and nutrition.
They’ve moved locations and expanded the operation and it is a really sweet space for lunch or an evening out.”
“I’m a Tucson native and this is by far my favorite IPA. Maybe I’m prejudiced, but this ticks all the boxes for me. I have not had the pleasure of enjoying it from the tap in the brewery, but maybe soon.”
“Unbelievable delicious food. Prices are good, service was nice and no need to make reservations. Will definitely come back.”
“Great food and service staff was very friendly and helpful, offering good recommendations and accommodating our need for speed with our flight leaving shortly.
Absolutely recommend coming here and would go back!”

“Love the music! Good food. Nice little shops. My favorite venue and a great location.”
“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!”
“I taught a painting class here and ordered some food and coffee, It was absolutely delish, would highly recommend! Owner was so super sweet and staff is amazing. Nice vibe ⭐️”

“My favorite restaurant. Exceptional tamales, great enchiladas, delicious tamale pie and much more.”
“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!”
“Their food, service and appreciation of their customers is superb. We visited 9 cities in China and ate at the best of the best. I was looking for a place in Tucson to compare and this is it. Have been back several times.”
“Looking for a place to eat on Valentine's Day, we found this one. We had a short wait, which was expected. I got the fried rice with everything. I always add a couple of over-easy eggs, which really help bring the flavors together. We also got egg rolls with rice noodles, which you put in a lettuce wrap with a sweet vinegar sauce. It was definitely worth it. We will be back.”
“best service and amazing food and drinks. lots of in house made items. parking right in front of restaurant.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Celebrated my dad’s 75th bday in a private room we reserved. The food was great, fun atmosphere and the staff as always was wonderful. Brennen was awesome in helping me get everything scheduled and organized. Maggie was the sweetest, funnest server ever. Thank you Guys for taking such great care of us. Definitely recommend!!!”
“I had dinner at the Texas Roadhouse in Marana, AZ this evening with family members. The service was great, the food was great, but we could not hear each other over the volume of the music. Please turn it down so I can at least hear the conversation at my table.”
“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.”
“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 🎯”
“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. 😋🥩”
“Food Server, REDANA, was Excellent. Delicious Calamari. Excellent Veal Parmigiana with homemade Pasta. Sauce was great. And Cannoli was fresh and tasty. We are from NYC. We have eaten in Little Italy. Your food is worthy of being served on Mulberry Street. Five Stars... PS After we finished my Birthday dinner, I played Billy Joel's song "Scene from an Italian Restaurant" while awaiting the Check. And the red and white checkered table cloths are a Great touch. They remind me of Louie's Restaurant in the Godfather movie.”
“I can’t say enough good things about this place. The moment you walk in, you’re magically transported out of the city and into the sweetest little patio oasis. Jo herself has greeted me at the door before, which tells you everything about the level of care here; her attentiveness is so rare these days.
The atmosphere is dreamy: lush plants everywhere, a peaceful koi pond, and even Lucky the cat making the rounds like the unofficial host. I’ve only been on nights with live music, but wow; what a treat. The musicians they bring in are phenomenal.
The drinks and food are just as impressive—beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. I’ve been telling everyone I know about this place because spots like this are special.
Do yourself a favor and go check it out. I’ve officially found my new regular hangout.”
“This place was fantastic. The ambience was clean and inviting, the staff was friendly, and the food was delicious. I especially loved their curry. It was fresh, rich, thick, and full of flavor. The coconut matcha drink is to die for! Definitely a place I’d happily come back to. 🌿🥥🍛”
“Great place ! All the food is delicious and the staff is amazing”
“*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.”
“Staff was very friendly and the dining experience was great.”
“1st time was just two weeks ago, two friends that I haven’t seen in 20 years invited me to enjoy the food and atmosphere. I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious the special food was but also the fabulous wings. I live in northwest Tucson but I will definitely make this one of my favorites. Keep up the good job.”
“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.”
“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.. 🍻👏😍🙃”
“Absolutely fabulous! Great ambiance and the food was amazing.”
“Stumbled upon this cool spot on a rainy Saturday night when my usual spot was closed. I was pleasantly surprised to have such a refreshing menu of drinks and tasty appetizers. The music was selected for the scene in the ambiance was just pure chill. My friends and I had a great time and will be back in the future.,”

“I had dinner at the Texas Roadhouse in Marana, AZ this evening with family members. The service was great, the food was great, but we could not hear each other over the volume of the music. Please turn it down so I can at least hear the conversation at my table.”
“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"”

“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!”
“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.”
“Paula was a fantastic server. She got our order right and smiled often when speaking to my sister and myself. I was a little disappointed that you do not serve tortilla soup the flan made up the difference. The experience was great. Thanks Paula. The manager came by our table too!”

“This place is amazing! The food is so incredibly good and the service is top notch. We went for my boyfriend’s birthday and we were blown away by the quality and uniqueness of the food. I had the salmon which came with this amazing garlic sauce baked on top and a side salad and hand cut fries. And my boyfriend had the steak which was huge and cooked to perfection. We also had the bacon wrapped dates which we had to order 4 orders of because they were absolutely devoured. The chef’s board was also outstanding and had some creative items that were so tasty. I can’t say enough good things about this place. Everyone that works there makes you feel like family and the owners are really kind people. We will be back!”
“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.”
“So, I decided to try it out after leaving a job interview nearby. I was hungry, and I noticed it was across the street. Why not? The dining area is a bit small, but they have some seating inside. I believe two tables for groups of up to four as well as a bar seating arrangement against the outside window with about 4-6 seats—I can't remember exactly how many. There were four people ahead of me in line. Ordering was relatively quick and they pumped the food out just as fast. I ended up getting the Spicy and Potato corn dogs with the standard filling of half mozzarella cheese and half hotdog. They offer all cheese with a cheddar option and all hotdog for ~$1 additional charge. There were a few other options as well, but they are currently escaping me. These Korean style corn dogs were delicious! I believe the Spicy comes with the filling dipped in their Korean style batter topped with crushed Hot Cheetos and this sweet, tangy sauce drizzled over it. The Potato was the same just with chunks of potato in the batter. I really was pleasantly surprised! The dough is light and fluffy on the inside and very crispy on the outside. Got a crunch in every bite! Personally, I preferred the Potato one. That fried potato on the outside not only adds a little more flavor, but it adds more texture for that delightful crunch too. I was about to leave before I decided to get a slushie. I'm not big on sugary drinks, but I was pretty parched. I was already there trying something new, what's another thing? So, I asked the cashier for a recommendation. He said he liked the mix of the pineapple and fruit punch. A+ recommendation! It reminded me so much of those Shamrock Farms bullet pops I used to get all the time as a kid😊 overall, a great experience! I forgot to get the cashier's name, but he provided me with good service and had a nice attitude. Thank you!”
“I love the food here, it has flavors, it’s authentic. Staff are very friendly and the price it’s worth its value. We have tried ropa vieja, lechón and the fruits drinks; it’s the best. The cortado and cafe bombom have character with just the right amount of sweetness.”
“Just came through with my sister we both got energy’s. Lanae took our order. She was AWESOME! She helped me decide what flavors I should do and it was spot on! She was friendly and attentive! Working in the service industry is not for everyone but Lanaes personality is perfect for the job! Would totally come back everyday to see her!”
“Best vegan pizza ever!!! So many options, fully customizable, and the nicest employees. They also have the best vegan ranch and dry all their herbs in house. They make their own vegan cheese and meat! The cannolis are piped fresh to order! They have an orange zesty twist. Robert is the GOAT and made our experience! We brought our pizza to the barbershop bar next door and they let us eat there and gave us $1 off drinks! Updated from previous review on 2026-04-22”
“Favorite coffee spot in Tucson. The drinks are delicious, interesting, and there’s variety. La Chingona with chili was really good. They have daily rotating pastries, my favorite was with a homemade guava filling.
Everyone is super nice and the owner really cares about the coffee, she even took some of their latte menu-items, turned them into cortados or cappuccinos and adjusted the flavor ratios to make it just what we wanted. Nice to sit outside under the covering with some music too. 10/10”
“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!”
