Re: “Kampai”
I've been to Japan 68 times on business and rate Kampai food as good as anything I have had in Japan...the service is excellent and the prices very reasonable....I eat there at least once every week....
Re: “Café Passé”
My favorite place to enjoy a breakfast al fresco. The patio out back features several different outdoor spaces to choose from, all wonderful. The food is fresh and delicious. A full bar in a cafe is a little odd, but not a bad thing for those who want a mimosa or Irish Coffee!
Re: “The Steakhouse at the Desert Diamond Casino”
For my money, this is THE best steakhouse in Tucson for those who want to get ALOT of great food at an extremely affordable price!
Re: “Bison Witches Bar and Deli”
AWESOME! ALWAYS! Casual, busy, good lookin' staff, good beer selection, good food, good central location. Been a Tucson staple for a long time.
Re: “Glass Onion Cafe”
This was some of the best live music I've heard in Tucson in a long time.
Good job Ernie -Larry- Chet!
Re: “Inca's Peruvian Cuisine”
Highly recommend it! The lomo saltado was superb!!
Re: “Fire + Spice”
This is a great place to hear very good jazz. The performers are students and you will be stunned to find out how young they are when you hear their music. They are very polished and really know how to swing. The performances are in the outdoor patio by the pool which contains a fire pit. It's a great way to spend an evening.
Re: “Mi Nidito”
I've been eating at Mi Nidito's for 22 years, and I've never been disappointed. It is simply delicious, authentic Tucson style Mexican food. It's always been worth the wait, and I've always had great, friendly service. The owners and everyone working there always welcomed our large family, and my kids always enjoyed looking at the many colorful decorations. I love the tacos, both the ground beef patties and shredded beef. The chili in the chili relleno is always crisp and flowing with hot, white melted cheese that is to die for. The beans are always the perfect consistency. This is absolutely my favorite restaurant.
Re: “India Oven”
The service is always great!!!!! The owner is friendly and the food is excellent! We have been going to the Indian Oven for the last 13 years, and our boys just love this wonderful, tasty, well-prepared food. There is nothing like a whole-hearty meal with meat, rice, and vegetables! We highly recommend
it to your family.
Re: “Boondocks Lounge”
Boondocks does an excellent job of promoting a large diversity of live music. One of the best venues in Tucson for the many genres covers.
Re: “Shlomo and Vito’s New York Delicatessen”
I've eaten here with transplanted New Yorkers who thought it was very good and dined here with a Jewish friend who loved the matzoh ball soup as it reminded her of how her family fixed it growing up.
The pastrami sandwich is enormous and tasty. The free pickles to nibble on while waiting for the meal to arrive is also a nice touch.
Re: “Boondocks Lounge”
I think they finally got the stench of cigarette smoke out of there. It took a few years. Not bad bar. Acoustics OK. Lot of room. Also have gotten rid of most of the trouble makers from the old days of Neon Prophet. Kitchen has surprisingly good fare. All in all I think I have to give it 5 stars.
Re: “Zivaz Mexican Bistro”
The carnitas are so good, melts in your mouth. The price is average for this type of place. You will not be disappointed. The previous rating of 1star is totally off base. They do not know what good food taste like
Re: “Son's Bakery Café”
Son works his butt off to make all his meals great. He is also one funny dude..his regulars love him. His Pho, chicken or beef Bun and chicken curry are a nice addition to his regular fare of sandwiches made on his own fresh baked breads. His burger rocks also. Breakfast cant be beat with his special pancakes.
Lets just say it is worth a try..oh and his egg rolls are best in town.
Re: “Wei Asian Café”
The best fried rice in town. Great Chinese food. Authentic Viet food. And good Thai food.
Re: “CeeDee Jamaican Kitchen”
Fantastic food, friendly service and great prices.
Re: “Son's Bakery Café”
I have visited Son's often since finding his restaurant (and also to allow my wife the opportunity to shop at the grocery outlet store). Everything on the menu is worth trying because you cannot go wrong. In other words they taste and look good without being pretentious or overwhelming. Even the coffee is delicious and is not permitted to run out. Friendly people visit and the staff also.
Re: “Pinnacle Peak”
Love this place. I have been coming here since I was a kid ( 30 + years sgo) Always great steak and beans. Pit beef is also excellent. My kids love the wild west show, train, and general store. My first choice for a steak dinner.

Re: “Korea House”
Spent 3 years in Korea and have eaten Korean food for almost 30 years. This is some of the best. Up there with some of the better San Francisco Korean restaurants.
