La Chaiteria

Honestly everything from this place is absolutely delicious. Every time I go the food is fresh the drinks are cool and the service is great. The food always comes with a side of salad and rice & beans.... Just so good. Just a very lovely place and it's so cute, I love the murals they have and the bulletin board has a lot of local community information. A plus is having their own salsa bar that's fresh and tasty. I can't wait to come back again.

I stopped in Friday when I was at the 4 street fair. I was expecting street fair food. I had a Barbacoa burrito and my sister had a Pollo Asado burrito. I was totally amazed t both burritos were superb! I have been a snow bird in Tucson for10 years staying 5 winter months These were the best burritos I have EVER had. This size was perfect, the meat was Generous and they made them outside on the grill. The service was out of control amazing! From the order taker to the burrito griller. I didn't even believe small restaurants had quality service anymore. PS I retired from 40 yrs retail! A shaded quaint porch to eat on . I am having an open house in January for some MN. Visitors and these Burritos will be my main dish! My biggest complaint is they are very far from me! .

As someone from more east and central Mexico, it can be hard to find Mexican food more authentic to the country and even outside of Sonoran-influenced cuisine. When it comes to La Chaiteria, they do an excellent job of combining the diverse flavors and pallets of Mexico, with inspiration from all across Latin America and even South Asia. The food's unique flavor composition makes for a joyful eating experience unique to the restaurant. In addition, they offer vegan, vegetarian, and meat options for almost every plate!The service is always impeccable. The staff are always nice and ready to serve you. It's a good sign when staff are smiling even in the kitchen.The ambiance is created with colorful murals, a community board, and a market-style set up with goods for purchasing but also their own ingredients.I recommend the mesquite latte and vegan chilaquiles.

A staple in the Menlo Park neighborhood! This is the spot to come to after your Sunday walk up Tumamoc. La Chaiteria has an expansive menu with breakfast, vegan, and non-vegan entrees. I love the fresh juices, especially the green Verde life. My favorite dish and one that never gets old because of the flavors and portion, is the Ropa Vieja. Im not even vegan and I gravitate towards this every time. The jackfruit carnitas is perfect. The portions here are generous for every dish and I wouldn't expect to go home hungry. The best thing about this location is the outdoor seating. I've brought pets to sit outside with us and it makes for the perfect day.

I can't believe I waited so long to try this place. The food was incredible. I ordered the carnitas plate with all salad as my side. The carnitas was nice and crispy and the salad has the most delicious dressing. It was busy today, Saturday, for lunch, the parking lot was full. We also ordered the vegan ropa vieja at the recommendation of the cashier and the flavor was outstanding. I have to take off a star because I was almost done eating my food when the ropa vieja finally showed up. I also wished the portion size of my carnitas was larger. I loved this place though and will be back for sure!

La Chaiteria is a hidden gem close to everything downtown. Stopping here after walking Tumamoc is the perfect morning. The Verde Life juice is a juice with just enough sweet and greens. I always order the huevos rancheros or the ropa vieja. The food here, similar to Tumerico, is fresh and delicious. There are a lot of vegan and gluten free options here. The staff are friendly and efficient. Always a great stop.

I tried both the chicken and beef tamales, and my husband's barbacoa plate - all amazing. Lots of prominently advertised vegan options too.

This is a go to place right after tumamoc! The food is light and flavorful. The portions are big! It's a bit pricey for breakfast but the food is so worth it. My favorite is the mesquite latte. The service is fast and they have a nice variety of salsas. The dishes also include vegetables/salad which always makes me feel like im making healthier food choices. They have alot to choose from!

WOW! I met a friend here today. She recommended it as a must-try in Tucson. This cute restaurant is nestled in Menlo Park and offers the best food I have had in a very long time. They have a menu that offers something for everyone with a plethora of vegetarian and vegan options. I ordered an iced horchata latte and the Barbacoa plate. Everything came out very quickly.The latte was tasty and not too sweet! The cashier also recommends the mesquite latte. The Barbacoa plate came with beans, rice, a salad and tortillas. Everything was EXCELLENT! The salad was fresh and bright and made for a more well-rounded meal compared to traditional Mexican dishes. The rice was good with some veggies incorporated as well. The Barbacoa was SO good -- the flavor was so so delicious and the meat was super tender! I was so happy with the entire meal and devoured all of it. I can't wait to go back to Tucson to try more of their items! What an amazing gem. All of the employees were kind and seemed to really care about my experience here. Will recommend again and again!

We love going to La Chaiteria - their food is incredible! Staff is super kind, food/drink comes out quickly, easy parking. I had the duck barbacoa platto earlier today; everything on the menu is good!
