I love it like in a way that can’t be explained other than it reminds me of simple, happy times and if I’m having a rough day, the people who work here always make me smile. Frank’s is like a warm blanket. It’s predictable, it’s not health food but it’s really good and I always leave happier.”

“First time I ate here. Lady that took my order was very nice and polite. I ordered the Shredded beef chimi with rice and beans added on, along with a large soda. I am very lery about ordering shredded beef in Tucson because they tend to not add enough flavoring to eat. Paco's knows how to make shredded beef. Lots of onion peppers and tomatoes. Has a wonderful flavor. The rice was nice and fluffy and the refried beans were ok. I normally like my refried beans on the whole bean, this was more mashed but still good. I told the lady on my way out that the food was really good and my only complaint was the plate was too small for all the food on it.”

“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. .”

“Delicias has turned out to be our favorite place to go to eat since moving to the area. There are lunch and dinner specials which are great. They serve large portions and the food is tasty. The bean dip served when you sit at the table is excellent. Delicias has the best margaritas we have ever tasted, including in Mexico. The staff is warm and friendly.”

The new renovation really took things to the next level and they kept their prices affordable and portions good sized. Highly recommend El Sur, Noe and the rest of the staff. Go check them out, you won't regret it! P.s. the chicken burrito enchilada style half green and half white sauce is amazing!”

“Great place. Great food. The staff is extremely nice. Unfortunately bad location. I’m a regular customer but no more. Today someone tried to open my car door as I pulled into the parking lot. I immediately left and called 911 to report it. Sorry, I gave it a chance but I’m done. Things have gone from bad to worse in this part of town. The businesses in the area and the city should be concerned about the negative economic impact this is having.”

“The first time I came to eat here was about 5 years ago. I hardly ever write reviews but this place deserves it. Great service. Great food. I get the tacos combo: 2 tacos (your choice of meat and style), Sonoran dog, and a soda. I also order French fries, but that’s mostly because they have those classic diner fries from the 80’s/90’s. Haha. They have a KILLER salsa bar. Different salsas, guacamole, cucumbers, mushrooms, cheese…All the goods! I don’t live on that side of town, so I drive 35 minutes but if I did I would weigh 600 pounds. I could eat there everyday and have something different for months/years. CHECK THIS PLACE OUT!! Indoor and outdoor dining. The outdoor is covered with misters and fans.”

“Probably the kindest service I’ve experienced here. So attentive, without being overbearing. Quick to refill waters, clear plates, take our order. Just cannot say enough. The atmosphere is very chill and relaxed. It’s nothing fancy, and is perfect for dinner. Hubby got fajitas-they came with a ton of fixings and the steak was really good. I love their beans & rice. This place is super underrated and is perfect for families or date night.”

“Del Cielo is hands down our favorite spot for breakfast. As vegans, we especially love their incredible vegan breakfast buffet offered on Thursdays and Saturdays. The variety is outstanding, featuring delicious options like tamales, homemade tortillas, pancakes, calabacitas, vegan scrambled eggs, beans, and chimis. The best part? Drinks are included, and it’s all-you-can-eat and drink. Our Thursdays wouldn’t be complete without a round of pickleball followed by a well-deserved feast at Del Cielo. Everything they serve is homemade, with freshly squeezed juices that are simply delightful. The staff is warm, friendly, and always accommodating, creating an inviting atmosphere that makes every visit a joy. Whether you’re vegan or not, this buffet is sure to impress. Do yourself a favor and give it a try—you won’t regret it!”

“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.”
