Food here reminds me of Nana's cooking which is a very high complement. Husband had the Huevos Rancheros which had a very generous topping of green chile! So amazing, he is from NM and said he enjoyed it and would order again. I enjoyed a piping hot large Red Menudo which was very fresh and clean. I enjoy the meat and it had a decent amount but I also know for those who aren't into the meat another table ordered theirs without and they happily took it out for them. The table next to us ordered the Cocido and it looked amazing. Will remember to get that. I ordered a side of beans and they are authentic.Don't waste your time at the tourist trap restaurants, this is the real deal, no nonsense, not fancy, just good clean place for consistent good food!!

We went to get salsa today Nov 12 at around d 430pm and the guy was a jerk to my brother. I was craving it since I'm from out of town and he was just a jerk. Will no longer go there - with other options why go to a place that has such poor service.

Atmosphere is like a diner, quiet. Service was ok. Food was good, margarita was better. Nothing special IMO. But glad we tried it!

Memories of a packed place on a Friday night...maybe several cars and a few dozen people inside on this visit maybe 10 years since last visit.Food was good...the flat enchiladas was my favorite so ordered them this time around with machaca. Very good, the sauce wasn't what remembered but it was good. Not spicy, just flavorful.Two chicken tacos on flour tortillas with lettuce and cheese...$14 Was told they were ok, just shredded chicken with not much flavor. We ordered guacamole and with some salsa, they were ok tacos.Albondigas soup was third dish. Felt like the broth could have had a lot more flavor and spice but the meatballs were good and the soup had tons of veggies and rice.Overall an ok meal. Service was ok and the food came out quick.

I've been coming to this restaurant for years off and on when I'm in the area. I have never been disappointed with a meal, breakfast, lunch or dinner. It is in my opinion one of the most authentic Mexican restaurants in all of Tucson. Had their Machaca and eggs breakfast which comes with beans and a tortilla. It was as usual, delicious

We stopped in for breakfast, a nostalgic visit for my husband. I had a simple 2 egg breakfast, with bacon (#2) and he had the Michaka breakfast, which is a dish that is difficult to find. I liked mine, it was well prepared. My husband didn't like his, said the Michaka was watery. The tortillas are excellent.Service was excellent and the coffee kept coming!

I'm the tourist who showed up half an hour after the posted opening time only to find the doors locked. A man sweeping the parking lot told me sometimes the waitress shows up late. I almost escaped, but as I started to edge to my car, the man urged me to look again. It was now open.Drat: The bare menu showed overpriced choices lacking imagination. I committed to what turned out to be a stiff chewy to no delight scrambled egg and green chili pepper burrito. Thank goodness the waitress offered a small cup of red salsa. Lettuce and cheese from 1977 also sat on my plate. See photo.Nothing redeeming here; I had to fetch one of my own refills of the passable $4 iced tea. The place still had no other customers when I escaped.

A group of 10 of us went for dinner yesterday. Food was OK, service was excellent. Got there at 5 pm and by 6:15 pm were told the kitchen was closing in 10 min though hours posted were until 8:30 pm, not sure what was going on. Sat in the cute cantina area and were given plastic utensils not metal utensils very odd. Not sure if they are having a problem with staffing or what but it is not at all like it was years ago. There were only about 10 people eating when we arrived at 5 pm. Do hope they make it but will need to improve the quality of their food to their old standards.

Dined here with a group of friends after the rodeo. We had made reservations but since we were a larger party we had to wait a little while before being seated. We were disappointed to learn there wasn't a bar area to have a drink at while waiting. Some of the group opted to leave to a nearby establishment to wait it out while having a beverage and came back in the suggested 40 minutes. We were sat in a pretty nondescript side/overflow area. A younger server took our drink orders and they were served super quickly, then she took our food orders. Within about 5 minutes after ordering the food was already making its way to the tables. We were super surprised and impressed (and even a little freaked out) how fast it all came. They must have most things premade and only need to plate them up to serve. I had the low carb special with carne asada and my bf had the green chili plate. Mine was filling with a decent amount of carne asada, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and guacamole. Nothing too special but I was satisfied with it. The green chili plate looked to be made with ground beef and served with beans, rice and tortillas. He said it had a "pretty good" flavor but was a little greasy. Beans were good but the rice was a little plain. Another older female server who did less work than the other but seemed more in charge brought us or checks. Here lies my complaint with the evening. The checks were hand written and calculated on a typical restaurant pad without any itemization break down other than what looked to be a food total, tax and the gratuity that was added automatically since we were a party of 8+. Our total was $72.08 which seemed high for our two meals, one domestic bottle beer and two sodas. My bf asked the server who gave the check if this was our correct bill since it seemed a little high. She just said yes, and pointed to some abbreviated writing indicating the two meals we had. My partner along with some of the others headed towards the cashier to pay the checks while the rest of us finished up and gathered our things. I asked if he was able to verify the amount with the cashier but he said he hadn't asked because he didn't want to hold up the line. After I got home I looked at the menu photos that were posted within the last two months and it seems we were over charged about $12 or so. (Estimate since there wasn't a photo that included the price of the beer) the overcharge could have easily been a simple error in addition, I don't mean to imply otherwise but with the food just being average I don't anticipate returning anytime soon

I'm not a regular at Micha's, but I do enjoy their breakfast on occasion. However, today the menudo was sour. I ordered the white menudo and my friend, the red menudo. All hominy- very little tripe. Sour smelling, sour tasting. You'd think the waitress would check on us and ask how the food was, but NOOOO. Our bowls stayed full- not one "how's the food." We had to ask several times for the sugar. It wasn't that busy because the waitress was sitting at the table wrapping silverware. Today was not a pleasant experience. Hey, but our coffee was filled.
