Re: “Bubby's Chicago Style”
Fabulous! And fun for the whole family. Burgers, dogs, sandwiches, best fries ever. I've ended up here even when I'm not exactly around the corner. It's one of those places you'll return to again and again. Prices are reasonable and portions are generous.
Re: “Viro's Italian Bakery and Cafe”
I ate there many times for lunch when I worked across the street. The food was always fresh and delicious. The Italian cookies were incredible as well.
Re: “The Original Mr. K's BBQ”
The best BBQ restaurant in our region. Sadly, it is constantly overlooked due to its location (although it's location is specific because of the adjoining museum - also underestimated). The moment you are in the parking lot, you are teased with an aroma that hints at the awaiting flavor. You will only regret not being able to finish your plate.
Re: “Vero Amore Pizza”
Probably the best pizza/Italian bistro style restaurant in the Tucson area. Attentive, happy, well-trained wait staff (they actually know how to present a bottle of wine at the table) who treat you like a customer should be treated. Greeting at the door (it sometimes gets busy but it's worth the wait). Water and table settings are delivered upon seating and your server is there shortly thereafter with menus, wine list and recommendations of specials. The cioppetta and mussels marinara are outstanding but we've been going since opening and never had a bad meal. Pizza is as it should be- fresh, light and with real fresh mozzerella. A bistro-style ambience can get a bit noisy when busy but it's a happy atmosphere. There is outdoor seating with heat or misters depending on the season.
Don't confuse this location with the Swan Rd store. My friends take the drive out of Tucson every week because it's worth the time. It's hard to believe the two locations have the same name as the quality is on the opposite ends of the scale
Re: “Time Market”
Good food, usuaully quick service, and a great price. I eat there at least once a week, sometimes more. Highly recommend the breakfast burritos, especially if you have never had one before. They are delicious.
Re: “Fusion Wasabi”
Love Fusion Wasabi! Their side salad is very tasty. It was some sort of secret Ginger dressing that they won't give details about... They won't sell any either. Their sushi is awesome! I would definetely reccommend this place.
Re: “1702”
In an age of instant gratification, often with sub-par quality, it's refreshing to know a place like 1702 is around. Feeling a monster appetite coming on? Leisurely enjoy any of the 50 rotating beers on tap while awaiting your freshly made custom slice of pizza. Yes, it will take more than 5 minutes, but quality takes time. Best pizza in town and a beer for every pallet.
Re: “Tino's Pizza”
Killer pies, a bit pricy but you are getting the best in town, maybe the whole state.
Delicious crust, great sauce.
Re: “Amrutha”
The service was fast the food was excellent, not expensive but we were to only ones there. Help rescue this gem.
Re: “Zayna Mediterranean Cafe”
By far the best mid eastern food in southern Arizona. Great filafel, always made well.
Indoor and patio seating, not expensive.
Re: “Maya Quetzal”
Incredible food and killer prices. full plate is about $9. You've gotta try it to believe the value and wonderful tastes. Best coffee in town.
Re: “The Garland Bistro”
Wonderful breakfasts, great dinners, best vege restaurant in Tucson. The patio is cozy but a bit noisy.
Re: “C. I. Chu's Mongolian Barbecue”
Bar far the best Mongolian Grill I have been too (I travel a lot). They serve the correct noodles for a mongolian bbq (some restaurants serve spaghetti noodles), veggies are fresh, good choice of meat, bowl size is perfect, sauce selection is great, and the customer service and cleanliness of the restaurant is a plus.
Re: “La Botana Taco Grill and Cantina”
they got the best Chicharrones on flour tacos in town. The Queso Fundito with extra chorizo and mushrooms while waiting for the tacos is pretty good too.
Then..... their Flan!!!!
Re: “Inca's Peruvian Cuisine”
Incas is one of the best kept secrets in town. The dining experience is unusual thanks to several special touches. First, the food itself is delicious and I have learned from my Peruvian friends, very authentic. The menu is varied -- from chicken to fish to seafood to a variety of high quality, certified meats. The rice is made with a secret ingredient that could be sold for millions. The salads and side dishes (and fries!) are superb. And the deserts are to die for. The proprietors, Fatima and Luis Campos, are the key to making Incas more than just a restaurant. They are kind, and quite simply, they care about your dining experience. For me, the sign of a quality restaurant is that the owners develop a relationship with the customers. It makes the food taste even better! Finally, the service is competent, but not rushed. If you want to sit and talk over a fine Peruvian wine, you are welcome to do so. Incas is a must if you care about fine dining in Tucson. Frankly, we are lucky to have Incas as part of our local culture! There are alternatives, of course. You could simply fly to Lima!
Re: “Prince Pizza and Family Restaurant”
We have been there multiple times - awesome night out each time! Great food in a wonderful friendly atmosphere with fantastic live music! Tucson has needed such an all ages friendly quality venue. You can make it what you want - romantic night out or a time to actually have fun out with the whole family. Highly recommend it - money well spent!
Re: “Lee Lee Oriental Supermarket”
I love this store; the prices are great and the selection amazing. It's also a very pleasant place, very clean with wide aisles and good lighting. Despite the name, it's not limited to Asian/South Asian goods; they have African, Mexican, and other kinds of foods. There's a section of cookware and the like, too, with everything from chopstick holders to gigantic stockpots.
Re: “Yuki's Sushi”
Our family went to Yuki's last night and had an absolutely amazing time. The food and service were phenomenal. We could not choose our favorite dish - they were all out of this world. The service was also excellent - we have not experienced better service anywhere else. Yuki's is by far the best Asian restaurant in Tucson. Giving Yuki's a 5 out of 5 stars, and a two thumbs up is an understatement. If you haven't been to Yuki's, you have not experienced the best the food business has to offer.
Re: “Chaffin's Family Restaurant”
Great hamburgers... way beyond fast food. Quick and courteous service as well.

Re: “Frankie's South Philly Cheesesteaks”
Unless you are going to Philly to eat at Geno's or Pat's, handsdown Frankie's is the best and most authentic you will find outside of the Philly area. Yes, the rolls make a huge difference.
