Raptor Canyon Cafe

I am so happy we found this restaurant. I was in town visiting my Wildcat and wanted to take him out for a great breakfast. We walked in and you could tell each and every person loves their job! That goes a long way for me. Now onto the food. Amazing! My son had a breakfast sandwich followed by the homemade crumb cake. Both were excellent. I branched out and had the breakfast tacos with chorizo. The portion was perfect and the taste was unbelievable! The simple touches and homemade taste made it wonderful. Run don't walk to the Raptor Canyon Cafe! Oh and parking was easy right on Pennington.

I used to live downtown and would walk by Raptor Canyon Cafe often thinking I should try this place, but they're only open during the week until 2 PM. I'm normally at work then. Today I was around downtown in the morning and so glad I finally went. The meal I got wasn't anything exotic, but I was simple dishes made well. The service is counter service and the staff is friendly. The menu was pretty extensive, but I went for a simple breakfast of home fries, biscuits & gravy, and a sausage patty. Everything was cooked to perfection. The sausage had a nice brown crust and was flavorful. The biscuits and gravy had great textures across the board from the perfectly toasted biscuits to the gravy that had smaller sausage pieces. The home fries were extra crispy and I didn't need to ask. As Guy Fieri would say, "GBD" or golden brown deliciousness on all the items. The space is small and can probably take less than 50 customers at one time. The restaurant is clean and basically a small mom & pop cafe.

Came in for breakfast on a business trip. I was the only one eating in but as people entered for take out, the cashier knew each person by name. I knew then, this was going to be my kind of place. Got the breakfast quesadillas with chorizo. Comes with side of faux, salsa and sour cream. Perfect breakfast if your like me and worried about spilling food on yourself before a work meeting.

Unfortunately I ate so fast I forgot to take a photo. I had a sausage and cheese biscuit and coffee. Nothing fancy but it was excellent. The staff was very friendly and the service was quick. It's casual and has a very local feel in the downtown area. Next time I'm in Tucson I'll be back.

The customer service was outstanding. Rare and so thoughtful. I went to the ladies room after my food was delivered and when I came back I found it had been kept warm under a foil wrap. Delicious breakfast. Homemade pastry. I'll come back the next time I'm in town. We saw the biggest plate of m & c I've ever seen anywhere. Folks said it was delicious with sour cheeses and a bit of heat. Perfect carb load.

The food was good. The best biscuit and gravy I've ever had...no. For $15 I got the items shown: BISCUIT and gravy with a loaf of banana bread. The banana bread was delicious but it was tiny for $3.75, the loaf gives the illusion that it's worth the price. I don't think it is. Especially when commercial loafs are around $5 and much bigger. It was delicious but the size was overwhelmingly disappointing that I wouldn't get it again.The BISCUIT and gravy had good flavor. Lots of sausage which places around town are definitely lacking. However, $10 for a singular biscuit NO SIDES in my opinion is egregious and quite frankly unfair. It's a fairly inexpensive dish to make. The biscuit had good flavor and was soft, but the amount of gravy was criminal. I could see my biscuit through the gravy, which for $10 shouldn't it be submerged? Maybe I was jiped because it was a takeout order. Since First Watch's biscuit and gravy is similarly ranked I tried it the next day. It's actually on par with this one. It's flavorful and the biscuit is soft. $5.89 for a la cart (one biscuit covered in gravy). For a meal it's $12 and comes with eggs, bacon and potatoes. Although it's made with turkey not pork you can't tell. Because I live closer to First Watch, I wouldn't make the drive down town for the meal I received from Raptor.The interior was rustic. I didn't stay just did a pick up. The cashier was friendly and helpful.

Friendly little place with delicious food. Order from the sweet lady at the counter then find your seat. Lime cucumber water was a refreshing treat. The breakfast tacos with chorizo were bursting with flavor and had crunchy hash topping. I usually find biscuits and gravy too bland, but my husband's were quite flavorful. We considered this a great find.

I had breakfast here and their sandwiches and burrito is delicious. The only thing they were missing is sweet items for breakfast. Their bread was fresh and the service was relatively fast. I definitely recommend eating here

I've been here a few times, so far only trying the Chef Salad. Comes with a little bit of everything (but no chicken, as they explain, unless you add it as an extra). The bits of avocado, egg, tomato, croutons and cheese make a wonderful salad. But the bacon, the bacon! Little bits of thick bacon tie this all together, served on a bed of lettuce. I highly recommend. Others with me have enjoyed the Street Tacos, which, by the way, can be easily adapted to be gluten-free. Every single time I've been there, the service has been friendly, informative and efficient. The daily special is described and clarification questions asked, and I get exactly what I ordered. I always feel welcome. The atmosphere isn't fancy but is comfortable. Expect plastic cups and lacy tablecloths under plastic. Neat and relaxed.

What a super cute restaurant! We were in town for the gem show and heard about this cute cafe so we decided to grab breakfast here. The team working were SO nice- everyone was friendly with us and everyone else in there. It was clear that some people were definitely regulars and others were like us, just visiting. I enjoyed the breakfast burrito with the homemade guac, and my boyfriend enjoyed a yummy breakfast sandwich. Both were tasty and filling. Great experience!
