I had such an amazing experience, the service was truly outstanding! The food was absolutely divine; I can honestly say it was so good you’d slap your mama. I’m still dreaming about those flavors! Definitely a must-try for any foodie out there. You won’t be disappointed with this culinary delight. I can’t wait to go back! #FoodieHeaven #AmazingService #MustTry #Delicious

Upon entering, I noticed the vast majority of the patrons were tourists/non-locals. While not an immediate deal breaker, it’s rarely a promising sign for authenticity. The food was just ‘okay’—the beans felt dry and lacked freshness, as if they were leftovers from the night before. While the albondigas had a nice flavor, the soup was overwhelmingly filled with rice, which overshadowed the meat. I went in with an open mind, but ultimately, the experience didn’t live up to the hype.

Even though I grew up in Tucson, this was my first time here. The visit did not start off great. Waited over 15 minutes to be seated during what seemed to be a slow lunch rush. After waiting finally sat down and the rest of the time went smoothly.
Food was just like homemade. I had the 2 taco lunch plate and it was delicious. I would come again for sure but hopefully the service will be better

I didn’t know what a tamale pie was and I’m pretty sure it doesn’t exist outside of this restaurant. But that doesn’t matter. What matters is I got it and it was phenomenal. Basically a fresh, hot tamale with a surprisingly sweet masa, covered in melted queso, the best damn frijoles, dries onions that are just the right amount of sweet and mild, and idek what else. It’s hard to describe but easy to enjoy. Just be prepared to eat a lot because portion size is massive. We split one between two people and it was more than enough food.

This is a hidden gem. Went for lunch. Food is outstanding. Skeptical when I originally walked in, but they won my appetite. Once I started eating their generous portions with tons of flavor. Multiple fantastic salsas to choose from. Value is quite good. Staff is very attentive and great personalities!!!!! Will definitely be back.

This spot is by far one of our best finds in Tucson!!! You’re looking for a big, fabulous menu with so many choices you almost cannot pick something (because it ALL sounds amazing)?! CHECK! Delicious big filling entrees? CHECK! Tastes like you are eating dinner freshly prepared just for you by your super talented Chef Friend? CHECK! And oh yeah, you also want to sip on creative, perfectly curated cocktails?! Yep – you got it! This is your place! We loved every bite and every sip! Highly recommend! 10/10 experience!

3.5 stars rounded up for my review. Dined here today at off hours. It was only us 3 and another couple in the restaurant. Ordered chips/salsa and a chili crisp to start. Both were forgotten about and brought out after we got our entrees. The crisp was missing the hatch chilis. I ordered a margarita which was also forgotten about for 20+ minutes. The food and drinks were good overall! I’d come back for the food and hope I get a different server.

Well this is a classic! Started in the 50s and run by the fourth generation of the same family. Large menu. Large portions. Working class neighborhood. We went for lunch. Had the tamale pie and a cheese crisp! Both very good! No idea what was all in the pie. A multitude of textures and flavors. Very fun. Lots of flavors on the crisps too. I’d give it a try. We r visiting Tucson for the first time and have gone out a lot but I’d put this near the top

This place looked promising, a hole in the wall with bad parking, a good looking menu, the reviews. I got the ground beef patty taco combo plate, but it doesn’t come with salsa and was a bit salty. Chips and salsa come with the meal, which is nice. But Little Mexico does this exact plate AND serves chips and salsa with crema for $2.00 less, and they’re excellent. Someone else mentioned the tourist ratio, and I’d have to agree. I’ve been to too many really good Mexican places and food trucks I guess, this was good, just not as good as all the hype.
