We went for lunch today, having Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas w/rice & beans and a big Mexican Coke. Oh my goodness... delicious and so filling I couldn't finish it all. Pay cash and get a little discount. Small, clean, great service, no alcohol. Love it! read more

I can't stay away from this place and the pozole soup! Friend and I went back to enjoy some soup before the weather starts heating up. I walked in and sat down. The owner came over and mentioned the pozole soup. I guess I do eat it a lot for her to remember me. The usual, and delicious, chips and salsa were served with a separate bowl of salsa for each of us (we do like it a lot). Other than a shrieking 2 year old (that the parents were ignoring) the place was clean and quiet. I ordered the pozole and friend ordered the chicken tortilla soup (with cheese on top). As always, the soups were delicious, hot and flavorful. The pozole has a back-of-the-throat heat that is amazing. I am somewhat obsessed with the soup. We'll go back. read more

I had lunch here recently with several friends. I thought their salsa was excellent. I ordered the machaca and eggs breakfast plate and I wasn't disappointed. Service was friendly and competent. It wasn't crowded, but we were there for a late lunch in July. read more

We love Benny's! We come to Tucson for a month each year and Benny's is always our first stop. The food is always great, but the customer service delivered by Mercedes is what makes this place special. I highly recommend a stop here for breakfast or lunch. read more

Very cozy and homey! The place to go for a home cooked meal style food!! Great service with only one waitress working!! Absolutely love this place!! read more

I stopped by Benny's for a pork green Chile burrito and an Albondigas soup which were both amazing and tasted homemade. It took a minute but was well worth the wait. Very good! read more

Food was amazing! The chips were fresh and warm. Salsa had just enough kick. Maybe mild for most people but just right for me. Had the green chili sope. Wow! Perfect! Can't wait to return for their breakfast menu. read more

We stopped by at 1pm today and enjoyed a great meal. Only reason this experience was not a 5-Star was slow service. I'm not positive but it seemed our waitress was also in the kitchen cooking which meant entrees took over 20-minutes. Local cuisine-homemade salsa and chips were excellent. I ordered the green chicken enchilada and it was decadent! Worth the stop if you have time! read more

Food is really good, and they have good customer service. Prices can get up there, but that's normal everywhere you go nowadays.

This place is super welcoming and I'm so glad they have a drive through. Had their breakfast burrito with bacon and it was one of my favorites in town. Sometimes you can get a burrito without enough filling but this wasn't a problem here! High quality ingredients and a fresh tortilla stuffed to the brim. Got the salsa on the side and I'm glad I did because it was SPICY, but it was so good I couldn't stop eating it. read more

I have an office right around the corner from the restaurant so I decided to try it one day for lunch. I ordered online from their website. The website confirms the receipt and tells you exactly when you can pick it up. They have a convenient drive thru for pick up orders. I ordered the tacos roja. OMG! This is probably one of the best dishes I have ever had! I am very addicted and order them regularly now!! The ladies that run it see me coming and just giggle about my addiction as the taco rojas lady! Great food, nice little restaurant run by super nice staff. I totally recommend! read more

The food is tasty. Benny's is based off of Mexico City cuisine. The menu isn't super large the specials are pretty interesting and unique. Service was really friendly and helpful. It's a casual setting and very clean. Parking is easy but the place is off of Grant so the road can be busy depending on the time you swing by. I'd definitely recommend the place when you're in the area. read more

We stop at Benny's on our way through Tucson from Phoenix, even though it isn't that close to I10, because it is such solid good Mexican food. It's a cute little place and everything I have tried here is good. I had the Chile Relleno plate last time and enjoyed every bite. read more

we had rolled tacos and chicken enchiladas with green sauce. The green sauce tasted a bit sour. We were the only ones there for the first half hour. Then two women came in and a single man. Usually when we go for lunch places are rocking. Food was okay but nothing to write home about. We probably won't be going back. The waitress forgot to bring two waters. We were served one water and a coffee. Waitress acted like she was super busy and couldn't remember what we asked for. read more

Stopped in for breakfast and had splendid chorizo plate. Very nice staff. I ordered machaca to go on the way out and it was prepared fast (and my wife enjoyed it). Than you! read more

We used to come here many times. Today they were extra busy, with only one server. We waited for more than 30 minutes, only to realize they bypassed us to entertain a customer who came after us. Then the food came- the potatoes (tacos) were tasteless and the soup salty. Thanks Benny's, time for us to look for a better Mexican restaurant. read more

First time there tonight after hearing about it on Nextdoor and seeing some great reviews on yelp. One of my favorite Mexican dishes is Albondigas soup. Had the BEST I've ever had at Benny's. Chunks of carrots and zucchini perfectly cooked. With free chips and salsa and a flour tortilla, half order was very large and would be enough for lunch. Also tried soft tacos, very good and Chile Rellano. Place was very clean. Service was excellent. I'll be coming here A LOT and getting the Albondigas to go on a regular basis. Update: Just ordered their pozole for the first time. Got it to go and oh. My. Goodness. It was spectacular. So much flavor! Really spicy. Healthy dose of pork. Really really stellar. Not sure I'll ever be able to order it from anywhere else. Very convenient contact free drive-thru. read more

My first time eating here. With such great food I was surprised to see the place nearly empty. I highly recommend stopping in for breakfast and supporting this local restaurant. The server was very friendly and tentative. I had the pombazo. This is a breakfast sandwich loaded with house made chorizo and potatoes. The bread is dipped in a delicious red sauce and topped with crema and queso. read more

Food was good. We arrived around 10:00 am, and ordered a chicken burrito and enchiladas. The burrito was decent, nothing spectacular albeit I did customize quite heavily (mixed meat/added rice and beans inside), and it came as ordered which is great. Enchiladas were very delicious. They came in an untraditional style. As mini enchilada empanadas with cheese garnishing on top and sides. Would definitely recommend this dish. Service was ok as well. It was prompt and decently friendly. Waters were not refilled however. read more

Benny's is one of those places that you drive by all the time and want to stop in because the must be good at a little spot like this. I recently moved into the neighborhood so I figured I'd try it. On A Wednesday morning while running errands I was craving Mexican breakfast. It was very slow, only one other person in the clean dining room with Telemundo on the TV. I was seated and the menu had many breakfast choicee...even pancakes. I munched on the warm fresh chips and salsa. The salsa was fine, almost like Pace, meh. I opted for the chillaquilles in red sauce. It was served with over easy eggs, refried beans and fried potatoes. The plate looked amazing . But looks can be deceiving. I took a bite of the refried beans sprinkled with cotija cheese and ......cold. Like not even close to be warm. So disappointing. The potatoes were tiny tiny. Very bland. The chillaquilles themselves were delicious. Chips cooked and smothered in red sauce were hot and delicious. I mixed them with the over easy eggs and was satisfied. I ended mixing up the beans in there as well as the potatoes. Old school style and using the chips like silverware. If you're Hispanic you know the chips and tortillas are as good as forks and spoons! All in all Benny's was fine. The highlight of the meal was the warm chips. Ill try other items on the menu at some point. I really want local restaurants to thrive but they really have to stand out!! As one of 2 customers in the restaurant the entire time, I was never checked on. No refill on my water, luckily I ordered a Mexican Coke. D I'm rooting for you Benny's!! read more

I love this place. I stand by my kudos for the food given in my earlier review. Those were based on lunch and dinner visits. I recently stopped in for breakfast and found their dishes as tasty and enjoyable as their PM offerings. The only drawback is their basket of chips that are served with the AM meals. I generally avoid restaurant tortilla chips at Mexican restaurants. But the chips at Benny's are so good, I can't resist, even first thing in the morning. The restaurant is always kept clean, but still the atmosphere is austere and can have a bit of a 'dive' feel to it. Some of us like that quirky ambiance. But it can be offputting to some. And it would be pity, for the food is genuinely excellent, and o so reasonably priced. A liquor license with little advertising and this spot would be the talk of the town. read more

Rarely crowded, Benny's is a pleasant place for average Mexican food. My friends and I went on a Monday evening and got beef fajitas, the carnitas plate, and enchiladas potosinas. We all thought the food was good, and the service was very friendly. After we paid our check we were allowed to hang out and chat. The highlight was the chips and salsa. The chips were hot right out of the fryer and were excellent. read more

Love Benny's. Small, super clean diner style restaurant. Stopped by because of an Entertainment coupon and will come back with out one. Had the Enchiladas Potosinas and a side of hard shell ground beef tacos. Excellent all the way around. Tacos have an awesome flavor and lots of extra cheese, onions, cilantro and lettuce to top it off with. The Enchiladas Potosinas are folded red corn shells stuffed with cheese topped with sour cream and cheese and served with lettuce, beans and guacamole. Nice mild flavor for those who like that. Salsa and chips are tasty and too hot for one of my wimpy sons. The waitress personally made a bowl of mild for him. Will be back to try the chile rellenos. read more

Upon taking a seat for lunch, we were greeted and brought a basket of chips worth good salsa. We ordered two shredded beef chimichangas, one for here one to go, and cheese enchiladas for my daughter. The chimi was served with sour cream and guacamole on the side, beef was juicy. It was yummy. My daughters enchilas were also yummy, I thought the enchilada sauce was good. With the to-go order everything was packed up nicely and the sauce came in a separate container which I really appreciate. They have really good lunch specials and the food hits the spot when you're in the mood for Mexican food. read more

So the update for this place is awesome! Great food great service and the place is packed! The enchiladas potosinas were awesome and their salsa was actually better than I remembered the first time here. We got complimentary chicken soup and hot chocolate and each of those were friggen great! I guess the only poopy thing is that we're waiting and waiting for a to go box and check but the guy is all alone in a packed house. We're cutting some slack there :) ------------- I'm giving it three stars only because I've only had one item here. They are only two weeks old so the atmosphere seems a little sterile. No artwork on the walls yet, no alcohol yet and the play presentation was pretty boring. I ordered the red chili burrito and the meat was super yummy but the tortilla was just eh. My mom and I were the only two there so service was great and food was speedy but it better be as your only customers. I'll be going back one of these days to try a few more items and I might be able to make a better assessment on the food. I'm hoping for a really nice enchilada. In my opinion, a good Mexican joint has great beans, awesome salsa and amazing tortillas. The other side of that are the enchiladas and their sauce. Enchilada sauce goes a long way and it's often atop burritos so I hope that's good. A fair weather review and hopefully the next one will be much better :) I strongly suggest checking them out, though. Despite my three stars, they are new, they are a little green but after some enthusiastic new customers come in I'm sure things will get lots better. Stay tuned! read more

Very, very good food..Service is outstanding!! Our waitress Mercedes was friendly, helpful and cute as can be.

Very authentic regional Mexican food. The enchiladas potosinas are red because they are made with cascabel chiles just like in Soledad, Mexico. The pambozo sandwich is one of the best sandwiches I have had anywhere.The bread is dipped in a guajillo chile sauce creating several layers of flavors. It's stuffed with chorizo, potatoes, and lettuce. This place is a hidden gem. read more
