Baci Italian Bistro

★★★★☆ 4 (766) • $$

"I've been wanting to visit Baci Italian Bistro for some time now. As a native from Chicago, I've been spoiled by the culinary scene in one of the best cities in the country known for their gastronomy. Last week I had the pleasure to visit Baci and man it brought me back to the quality and service of some of my favorite Italian restaurants back home!We started off with the Bruschetta and the Fried Calamari. I am still buzzing over that Bruschetta! The way those flavors marinated on top of that warm baguette blew me away. For our entrees my wife ordered the special which had Chicken, Linguine and this amazing white sauce. I ordered the Chicken Limone and I really enjoyed it. It was very lemon-y so if you aren't a big fan of strong lemon flavors then I would say to steer clear of this dish. For the kids we got Chicken Alfredo (what I call the basic white girl dish) and Mozzarella Sticks. These were also excellent.I will just say that the left overs the following evening were just as good! Also, I cant say enough about the service and the ambience of the restaurant. Our server Diana was very knowledgeable on the daily specials and gave us very good feedback on the questions we had. Therefore, in the famous words of Julian Potter in My Best Friends Wedding - "I am writing it up as... inventive and confident".Honestly, if you haven't yet, go check out Baci Italian Bistro. Amazing food, classy environment and phenomenal service with a friendly wait staff."

La Botana Tacos

"We are from the Phoenix area and found this place from Instagram. We came here after the U of A game and boy was it worth it. I didn't know what to expect but was amazingly surprised. First off, when you sit down they greet you with bean dip and chips!! And then ask you to head over to their salsa bar with at least 7 or so different types of salsas. And they were ALL good!!! I ordered the Sonoran steak tacos, 2 in the order and they were the most delicious tacos ever. The meat so was tender and so flavorful. Just perfect!! My husband order 2 Sonoran tacos as well as 2 Barbacoa tacos. Wow!! Talk about flavors. These tacos were so good. Definitely recommend this place. For the price, I would definitely recommend it. You will not be disappointed. The staff was great and the new place is beautiful. Please give them a go!! The new place is on Wetmore Rd."

"I was at the Apple Store handling some repairs on my AirPod Max. Wanted a good steak and I came here for the ribeye Cajun style. It was awesome, perfectly rare, totally tender and deliciously seasoned. I got the deviled eggs and they had pieces of bacon and pepper in them and they were amazing as well a nice whiskey to wash it down and I had an amazing meal. It was totally worth what I paid for it."

"We came here because I had to drop off my car at a dealership close by.What an amazing experience, this place was awesome. The wait staff was great, the food was better. I felt like it took a long time to bring out our appetizer but at least the dinners didn't come out at the same time. So I was pleased.We will definitely be back!"

SoCal Fish Taco Company

★★★★☆ 3.8 (587)

"Best fish tacos and calamari fries! It's been a family favorite. Everyone that comes in town to stay with us always request to go back to this restaurant you can't go wrong with a double order of calamari, fries and cod tacos with french fries extra crispy. The aïoli that comes with the calamari fries is to die for."

Baja Joe's Mexican Cantina

★★★★☆ 3.7 (596) • $$

"Went with a party of nine family members. There was a pretty long wait between ordering and serving, then the wait staff brought the whole order at once. Grandkid's nachos were cold, as was my chile (more like chilly) rellano plate. Only the seafood plates came out hot. I guess they were the last to be ready. Also, some complimentary chips while we waited would have been nice."

Trident Grill

★★★★☆ 4.1 (476) • $$

"09JAN2025: The burger and wings were simply outstanding. Came in with an Instagift card, manager came from the kitchen and processed it no problemo! Overall, 5 star service, food and experience. Thanks Trident on Speedway Team!"

La Hacienda Family Mexican Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.1 (469) • $$

"I decided to try this place after work. I was STARVING!! The place was getting packed! I ordered ceviche appetizer (fish) for an appetizer. The guy informed me of the type of fish it was (don't remember the name). It was a flaky fish. Let's just say I'll order the shrimp next time lol. It wasn't bad, it didn't taste fishy at all, but I'd be more subtle with the shrimp next time. I inhaled it all. I forgot to take a picture of my main plate. I ordered 3 enchiladas (beef, shredded beef, chicken) with rice and beans. The shredded beef was pretty darn good! My food was really good! I inhaled that also. I wanted to get a desert but I was overly stuffed. I had to sit in the parking lot for a while and let the food settle. I will definitely come back and try more off their menu. And the Horcjhata was bomb!!"

CRUDA Mariscos & Oyster Bar

★★★★☆ 4.2 (409) • $$

"Seafood with a kick.Service and ambience:This is clean and nicely decorated restaurant in a heart of Tucson. We received five star service from all the staff members. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. We were the last guests before closing time, yet we were not rushed and received all the attention we needed.Food and drinks:The food was one of the tastiest Mexican style seafoods we have tried so far! Great combination of flavours and fresh ingredients. The seasoning was the hero. Great balance of spices and citrus notes. You must try their ceviche and hot molcajete! Simply delicious.As for the drinks, they offer set cocktails menu but you can opt for a beer too.Pricing:As usual, seafood prices are on a higher end, however, the quality of dishes at this restaurant justifies the price tags."

The Keg Steakhouse + Bar - Oro Valley

★★★★☆ 3.9 (466) • $$$

"The good - the pistachio crusted salmon was excellent as usual as was my daughter's side of Mac and cheese and the twice baked potatoes. However the steaks were each cooked at least one level below what had been requested (manager did offer to take it back and fix). Also we had stated on the reservation it was my daughter's birthday and were asked when we were seated if we were celebrating an occasion and we again said it was her birthday. At previous celebrations there was a free dessert for the birthday person but not tonight - just the bill - so not sure if that's changed."

Piazza Gavi

★★★★☆ 3.6 (511) • $$

"We had a great date night! The food we had was delicious, but the service was even better. Our waiter Eric was amazing and at one point a person who I suspect was at least a manager asked us if we were warm (we were sitting outside) and she moved a heater closer to us. We've been here before and will continue to go many more times even though it's a 30 minute drive for us because of the great service and delicious food!"

D's Island Grill JA

★★★★★ 4.6 (299) • $$

"Absolutely delicious!!! We've been driving by their restaurant for years and for some reason we haven't stopped in. But, now we will of course be heading into their brick and mortar! We were lucky to try multiple dishes during a festival from their food truck and everything was all so tasty, especially the tender meats, seasoned perfectly! The plantains were sweet, hot and hit the spot! Our group of friends shared the chicken jerk tacos and stew which was sensational! The service was also great considering they were very busy! While I was waiting in line I was able to watch the amazing process of putting everything together, rice, etc. This is a wonderful family owned business that creates the best Jamaican food around! I've spent time in the Caribbean and I really appreciate the fact we have a place for such delicious food in Tucson! lol"

Mariscos Chihuahua

★★★★☆ 4.3 (331) • $$

"Food, service and atmosphere all EXCELLENT!!!!We both highly recommend Mariscos Chihuahua !!!! Don't miss it!"

Gecko Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (457) • $$

"The service was really, really great. Everyone was enthusiastic and friendly. The restaurant was clean and fun, decor-wise. The food was also good, although cheaper alternatives of comparative quality exist."

Villa Peru

★★★★☆ 4.2 (290) • $$

"My husband love this place and have been here a couple of times now. We are early riser people so we eat dinner pretty early since we go to bed early and both times we've eaten here near opening so service has always been so quick and top notch. The pisco sour is the best drink to pair with ceviche. My favorite ceviche is the Leche de Tigre and I also loved one that I don't currently see on their online menu that had passionfruit! For my meal, I am obsessed with the eggy pasta dish Villa Peru Linguini. This is a pricey place so plan to eat here less for a date night and more for special occasions."

Trident Grill II

★★★★☆ 3.8 (330) • $$

"Showed up at 11. Seated right away and brought drinks. We took a little time to check out the menu, then ordered. The waitress was kind.The food took a Very Long time to get to us. Some mix-up between the order a the kitchen. We were here an hour before we got our orders. (Only bad thing)When it came, Mom really liked her sliders and the pickles. I enjoyed the salad with chicken. It was actually too much for me to finish! Dad loved the Gumbo and ended up taking the chicken sandwich with him. He said it tasted Very good. Because of the terrible delay, the Manager comped our meals. (Very Kind)The prices were a bit much for us, but for the Gumbo we would be back."

Dove M Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.1 (250) • $

"A busy place during weekend lunch and dinner time. The dishes are done well with a wide range to choose from. Call ahead if you have a large party for dining."

Chef Wang

★★★★☆ 3.8 (273) • $$

"This places ratings need to be WAY higher. True, mouth numbing, sinus clearing sichuan food. We got the grilled house pot and the bamboo and pork stir fry that the waiter recommended and they were *chefs kiss.* I've never had such tender black fungus and bamboo before. Super affordable and we had rooms of leftovers so the value for the money is great. The service was fast and our waiter was very personable. He even helped us pack up our leftovers.We just moved from northern California and we were missing some good Chinese food. SO happy we found this place. Can't wait to go back!"

PY Steakhouse

★★★★☆ 4 (227) • $$$

"While staying at Casino Del Sol for a conference, we tried PY Steakhouse for dinner. Despite being near a loud area, the restaurant isn't very noisy. The ambiance is very nice - low lights, linen tablecloths, and comfy booths. We were greeted promptly and offered a choice of drink. Then came fresh bread and gruyère breadsticks. The bread had a crusty outside and soft inside that you could slather with butter and salt. The breadsticks had a nice crisp to them and the cheese flavor was definitely noticeable. We were given an amuse bouche of raw tuna on a crisp cracker. I'm not a huge raw tuna fan, but tried a bite and the flavor was mild and fresh.We selected the NY strip, ribeye special, with brussel sprouts and splitting a baked potato. Shortly before our meal arrived, someone came to char a sprig of rosemary and snip little bits into a melted ramekin of butter and beef tallow. Our steaks arrived cooked correctly with a nice sear. We both enjoyed the flavor of the beef and tried some of the infused butter. The staff sliced the potato in half serving each of us one half in a dish with our own plate of toppings - that was very nice of them. I love a good baked potato and this one was cooked nicely and made better with butter and sour cream. The sprouts were roasted beautifully and had no bitterness. They were served with chunks of Tasso ham, roasted pecans in a not overly sweet glaze. It was definitely a hit.We were brought a small caramel truffle each and it was a delicious piece of candy. The chocolate had a nice snap and the caramel was thin and had the right balance of sweet and salt. I would have bought an entire box. We were stuffed but ordered a chocolate lava cake to go. It was packed up along with our leftovers and our server brought over a small coffee cake as an extra treat for the next morning.The ambiance was lovely, the food was tasty and as expected from a nice steakhouse, but the service was just wonderful. All of the staff were friendly, efficient, and wanted to make sure we had a fabulous meal."

Taco Fish

★★★★☆ 4.4 (182) • $

"Taco Fish isn't a large restaurant or have a lot of parking so it's not super easy to find. I came in and it took a bit to figure out the menu. You order through a small window. I got the shrimp soup and 2 shrimp tacos. I was bummed to hear grilled shrimp was not an option and the only shrimp avaliable in a taco was fried. The food was very good. The service was typical counter service and there wasn't a tip line on the receipt. Good option for Mexican seafood."

Great Wall Chinese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.7 (256)

"I was pretty stoked to see they have sesame beef on their menu. This is one of my favorite Chinese dishes since I was a kid but few places sell it. I ordered it with extra sauce (won't make that mistake again) (see pic). It wasn't like the sesame beef I was used to but it was pretty good. Here's where the low stars come into play. They didn't give me the white rice with my meal, no utensils and no fortune cookie! WTF?! And get this... with $2 tip it was just over $16! Never again! I'm pretty pissed off to be honest."

The Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.2 (163) • $$

"This is a wonderful place, service and food is amazing. The Balsamic mushroom burger is incredible"

Old Peking

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (274) • $$

"Much improved from a fyears ago. I've been back a couple times in the last few weeks. We always get it to go but I believe the dining is remodeled and open for guests. Friendly staff. Ordered vegan specialties, Crispy spicy salty tofu and it was delicious, but the Crispy spicy sour tofu was even better. Fresh Yu Choi with Garlic. Big servings, reasonable prices. Skip the sesame balls they were not good. Husband enjoyed his veggie egg foo young and house chow fun. We had leftovers for the next day both times and we have big appetites! If the owners read this I suggest they vent the to go boxes to keep the crispness in the crispy. Next time I will take pics!"

Carrabba's Italian Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (232) • $$

"This place is amazing! Wonderful service, great food, nice portions! We loved it! Our Waiter was the best!"

Rocky Point Seafood Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.6 (190) • $$

"The garlic octopus dish is a flavor-packed delight! The octopus is tender and perfectly cooked, bathed in a garlicky sauce that's rich and aromatic, making every bite a savory pleasure. The sides of potatoes, salad, and rice add a hearty texture and a subtle earthiness that balance the bold flavors of the octopus beautifully.Paired with a Jamaica drink, the meal is wonderfully complete. The drink offers just the right amount of sweetness, with a slight citrusy note that refreshes the palate and enhances the overall experience. The friendly staff are attentive, always checking in to make sure we're doing well, which adds a personal touch to the dining experience. This combination of vibrant flavors, refreshing sips, and warm service makes for a memorable meal!"

Trident Grill IV

★★★★☆ 3.6 (188) • $$

"Arrived at 2:00pm & found it only 1/3rd full, was invited to sit where I wanted. My server Mela was friendly, polite & professional. Ordered the Fish n Chips, but requested the gumbo as a replacement for fries. Food arrived quickly & the gumbo was awesome. Fish were great as well. Nice selections of beer on tap & in bottles. Restaurant & restrooms were clean & the TV's with sports were not as loud as expected. I will be back."

Tuk Tuk Thai

★★★★☆ 3.6 (171) • $$

"Tuk tuk is decent. I've ordered from here a few times. Pad thai is better than average. Pumpkin curry is good as well as their Pad Prick Pow Chicken. I would stay away from ordering the lunch menus as they are the same price as dinner but they give you less food. For example, the pad prick pow chicken will cost you 16.95 for the lunch meal that comes with rice as shown in the picture - two thirds rice, one third chicken. If you order the dinner dish, it comes without rice, but you get the same container full of chicken for less money.Overall, this place should be called, 'Good enough Thai.'"

Cocteleria La Palma Mariscos Y Mas

★★★★★ 4.8 (90) • $

"I love a seafood taco, and these did not disappoint! Although they're just serving out of a food truck, the service was really friendly, the food was made fresh, and they have plenty of outdoor seating set up. We ordered shrimp and fish tacos, as well as a quesadilla (same contents as the tacos, plus cheese and a nice sear on the tortilla). Everything was great quality and good value for the price. If I lived in Tucson, I'd be a regular here!"

Pure Poke & Prep

★★★★☆ 4.4 (105)

"Definitely delicious! I'll be back again for sure. Everything tasted fresh, and the staff was very kind and patient with explaining the menu to me."

Izumi Sushi Bar Seafood

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (187) • $$

"I had an amazing experience here! Lunch special sushi and nigiri, and a squid dish. Super delicious, super pretty, very clean atmosphere. I felt comfortable and satisfied at the end of the meal."

Bistro 44

★★★★☆ 3.5 (148) • $$

"So our visit to the Bistro was very 50-50. The ambience was nice and the servers were very kind. My French onion soup was delicious but my fish tacos were very bad. It had zero seasoning, not even salt. The fish was fresh I could tell it was fresh fish - but it tasted awful and so bland. The veggies were the same- zero flavor. The other thing that was a disappointment was the bathrooms did not have a changing table so I had to change my son in the car. You would think going into 2025 all restaurants would have at least one Koala Kare changing station. I would only want to come back for the French onion soup since it is hard to find good French onion soup."

Mariscos Mi Mazatlan

★★★★☆ 3.8 (125) • $$

"This is a great local Mexican Seafood restaurant. I really enjoyed the food it was very tasty. The ambience is super casual. The staff were attentive and made it a nice experience."

Casa Valencia

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (165) • $$

"Very good food! I love their Mariscos and other food choices. Prices are reasonable and the location is well kept and safe. I highly recommend it. Their service was very courteous. :). The ambiance was happy and welcoming."

Taco Giro Mexican Grill - W Valencia

★★★★☆ 3.6 (130) • $$

"Taco Giro is one of the places we look forward to coming to when we're in Tucson!The food is something we can't get in Mesa!Service is great when we got there but it did take a little while to get the check when we were ready to leave.But Right when we walked in we were seated and the chips great salsa and beans were brought right out to us very quickly.We ordered the #1 and bacon wrapped shrimp with rice and beans.I have to say the shrimp plate is our favorite!!The drinks are great here too!Highly recommend this restaurant!"
