“This was the first place we went on our visit to Tuscon, Arizona. We made a last minute reservation and were greeted kindly. The atmosphere was busy, but service was well paced. Our server was very nice and took very good care of us, even complimenting my hurried makeup I did in less than an hour. The food was wonderful. We had porkchops, fundido, and octopus. The fundido was my favorite as it was served in a mini skillet and had this beautiful crust of cheese. The octopus was cooked perfectly, no rubbriness with slight bite back. The porkchop with that sauce they serve it with was bright and rustic. For dessert we had Panna cotta and chocolate ganach. The ganach, though well made, wasn't my favorite as it was textbook and not innovative, the orange took over when it was present and whatever was on the bottom added nothing, i can't even remember what it was. The Panna cotta, however, was superb. It was light, colorful, and contained a multitude of flavors to play with like raspberry, mint, and pineapple, just gorgeous. We washed everything down with Jamaican lemonade, something I wish i could take a gallon of home! All in all, it was a wonderful experience deserving 5 stars.“

I added on the side salad for something fresh and the Maduros (sweet plantains) for something sweet.We had a mojito, I would have preferred a stronger mojito, but aside from personal preference, it was well balanced.We took home some flan and we had a full meal left over which we brought home with us.Worth a visit and a return visit!“

“Title: A Culinary Hole-in-One at TACO GÜIROReview: After a rewarding day at SEWAILO Golf Course, my coworkers and I decided to explore the local flavors and found ourselves at TACO GÜIRO on Valencia Rd. It was a decision that we’ll cherish and repeat. The Green Chile con Carne Chimi was a revelation – a delicious masterpiece wrapped in a crispy tortilla, bursting with the rich flavors of green chile and succulent carne.One of my colleagues ventured into the sea with the Seafood Cocktail, and it was a voyage worth taking. The freshness of the seafood paired with the zesty sauce was a testament to TACO GÜIRO’s commitment to quality and taste.The star of the evening, however, was not just the food but the service. Abby was a delight. Her impeccable service, coupled with her enthusiasm, made our dining experience exceptional. She understood the essence of hospitality and made us feel like the most important guests of the evening.TACO GÜIRO is more than just a restaurant; it’s a place where delicious food meets heartwarming service. It’s where golfers can unwind and where friends can make memories over a meal that’s prepared with care and served with love.Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

We were in Tucson for 3 nights and we finished all 3 evenings with a night cap at Batch ?. We were also super lucky…on Fridays and Saturdays they have small batch doughnuts ?….yum ? The blackberry w/Crown Royal icing was so good…we ordered a second one ?. The whiskey selection is amazing…the prices are great…the bartenders are very knowledgeable…and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Morgan, the head bartender, was even honored with his name on an Elijah Craig bottle!!!! We asked him to choose our next drink…several times…and they were all amazing. They make cocktails for the guests that don’t enjoy whiskey…but this is definitely a place to go if you want to try new whiskeys served neat ?. If you’re in Tucson…and enjoy whiskey…this is a must!!! We’re planning our next trip back, just so I can go here again ???“

I found their Mediterranean salad to seem ridiculous at first but came to enjoy it once it was at the table: "chopped romaine, quinoa, marinated tomatoes, fried capers, pickled onion, feta, smashed cucumber, fried potato, green beans, red wine herb vinaigrette." Mine had plain shredded chicken added to it.“

The food menu was pretty big and had a lot of great choices. I went with the basic basket of fries. It was a huge serving of shoe string fries for 10 bucks. Everyone at my table got something different, and everyone was pleased. The service was very good, especially considering how many people the waitress had to account for. I can see myself coming back to this place again for sure.“

“Looooove the concept of an eco- conscious restaurant. My server (I unfortunately don’t remember her name) was super helpful with the menu and had a bubbly demeanor. The decoration and choice of furniture felt more unique to me and brightens the place up. I think if my meal (the breakfast burrito) had less sauce and a spicy salsa it would taste perfect but it was maybe a 3/5. My family adored their meals though. Giaaaaant portions so easily shareable. Decently price but more on the expensive side in my opinion.I definitely recommend sharing the French toast as an appetizer.Also their rewards program is really good if you check out the offers they give with points.“

“Believe me when I say this will be the ONLY REVIEW you will need to read about this Tucson classic "mom and pop". I never write reviews, which is absurd since I use them to make my decisions. It is possible that I do not write reviews out of pure laziness and hope others will take care of it or it is that I am on to my next adventure. Who knows? But I could not be lazy, hope for others to do the work, or move on until I wrote one. That should tell you something right there.Honest review: I asked the server what she recommended. She responded with Eggplant Parmesan. Eggplant? My experience had been that eggplant is rubbery, mealy, and thick. Ok...I thought. I guess. Then she added that I should get it "Joe’s Style". You may be asking what that is. Do not worry, so did I. Joe's Style is chili oil (don’t let the word chili scare you, it’s flavorful not spicy), garlic, and cheese. This Joe must know me personally. That combo right there was the deciding factor to move forward. If anything, at least there would be those three.So, I pulled the trigger, with a smile but with worry lurking just behind it. Let me add I was dining with a stranger. So, I was on my best behavior. Ok, I have set the scene. Let us get to the meat of the review.When I say the dish was amazing, I mean AMAZING! The pasta was homemade, the red sauce had the perfect robust tangy flavor, the Joe's Style...let this sink in... I would drink it as a cocktail if no one were looking...and finally the eggplant. If I were a vegetable, I would marry that eggplant. Who knew? It was so delectable! The end. Get the Eggplant Parm Joe’s Style, you will thank me later even though it is highly likely we will never meet.Parking: Parking was right off of Craycroft, easy access!Wheelchair accessibility: There were ramps and wide corridors.“
