My New Go-To Burger Spot in NW Tucson!…read more I live in the area and have always defaulted to Five Guys for my burger cravings--until now. I've visited this place four times since May 2026, and it has completely won me over. I can't find a burger joint like this anywhere else in NW Tucson! The Food I've tried nearly all of their burgers, and they are consistently fantastic. The flavor and juiciness are excellent, but the Cheddar Bomb Burger is AMAZING--an absolute must-try. The sides are great too; I highly recommend getting the Cajun fries. Price & Service The pricing is rock solid. For the exact same price you'd pay at Five Guys, you get a burger and fries that are leagues better in both quality and taste. The service is also incredibly fast. On a recent visit, I stopped by just for the food (I wasn't even shopping), ordered my burger to-go, and it was in my hands within just a few minutes. Location Thoughts Right now, the restaurant is tucked back in the outlet mall's food court. I genuinely hope they consider moving to a better, more prominent location so the business can truly blossom. A spot in the Arizona Pavilions or across the highway on Cortaro would be perfect. The only real competitor over there is In-N-Out, which frankly isn't even competition compared to this place, in my opinion. I'll definitely be back and will update this review with some pictures next time--if I can remember to snap a photo before I dig in!

The service was really good and it took about 10 minutes to get my food. Oh I had a delicious chocolate chip cookie too and I was delicious !! I enjoyed talking to the owners/chefs. The truck was posted up outside in my neighborhood and people were stopping by. They were very thankful for everyone who stopped by and I loved that. My total w tip was about $24 but I understand that the trucks need to survive too so that didn't bother me. Plus the convenience of having them nearby was good too. The great customer service was the best part. If I see them again I'll stop by.

First of all, the thing to try is the mash potato balls (Poutine Style). If you are a pervert like me and can't imagine what Poutine Style is...its soaked in brown gravy and covered with cheese. This tasted awesome. You won't see it on the web menu. Another low cost item that I loved is the pork rinds. I could not decide on salt&vinegar or spicy, so I got them both. These cracklins were like warm velvet in my mouth with the right amount of pucker or burn. I was with a group of friends and we all loved this. Potato balls and chicharons were enough to fill me up, but I sampled my buddies' food. This stuff is smokey!!. I like my BBQ saucy, luckily they give cups of sauce. As advertised, the hot wings are smoked and then fried before being served. The ribs are dry rubbed and awesome hard to stop eating them. My buddies also got a pork sandwich, but were not impressed as much as the other stuff. The flavor to cost ratio is high with this one. Quick summary: Nice service, good prices, fast and FN delicious. I would prefer this food over Mr/Brush, the other popular BBQ places in Tucson.

A substantial portion of it ended up on my shirt which is a good sign of the right ingredients. The Poutine was perfect (if a little pricey for the portion - come on guys! Potatoes, gravy and cheese curds are cheap! Load it on!) I am definitely impressed.

My favorite burger spot in the world!!!!…read more I recently moved away from Tucson, AZ, and I still dream about this spot! It's a go-to spot in the heart of downtown Tucson. The spot is located in the boxyard with plenty of seating options available, shaded and sunny! The burgers are amazing, smashed style. They have plenty of yummy options to add onto the burger, like arugula, bacon, cheese, extra patties, and the classic daddysauce! The fires are also a hit!

If you're on the hunt for wings that *actually* live up to the hype, CP's Wings delivers the…read moregoods--and then some. They are located inside of Just One More on Golf Links and Wilmot. Service was amazing and food cooked to order. Let's start with the main event: the wings. These bad boys are big. Not your average, skimpy winglets--these are full, meaty, and satisfying with every bite. The skin is perfectly crispy, the kind that crunches just right and still locks in that juicy tenderness underneath. But what really sets them apart is the sauce. It's a "sweet heat" situation that hits all the right notes--just enough sugar to balance out the spice, and just enough spice to keep you coming back for more. It doesn't overpower; it enhances. On the side, don't sleep on the fries. These aren't frozen, run-of-the-mill throwaways--they're homemade, golden, and seasoned with care. You can taste the difference, and they round out the meal in the most satisfying way. Whether you're a wing connoisseur or just hungry for something legit, CP's Wings makes it worth the trip. Crispy, saucy, and seriously delicious.

This truck is owned by Dante's Fire's, Ken Foy…read more So first a story on how they came up with the name. Sam Fox of Fox Concept Restaurants (Wildflower, Blanco, Zinburger, Culinary Drop Out) told Ken Foy of Dante's Fire upon opening his Culinary Drop Out directly across the street that "I'm going to put you out of business so fast..." Not too kind nor professional of words to a fellow chef. Well, Dante's Fire is still open and going strong. So Chef Foy decides to do a food truck. So in a slap in the face to "Culinary Dropout," he names it "Culinary Graduate." I think that's funny. Lost some respect for Sam Fox. So, you look at this food truck's menu and you salivate at every item. The worst part of this truck is having to decide what you are going to order. Part of the problem is that the menu items are $10 a pop or more. Not cheap. I decided to go baseline and tried the Sexy Grilled Cheese. Delicious combination of flavors. My only disappointment was the way the bread was grilled. Uneven. Still had plenty of ungrilled white real estate. Not grilled to perfection as my former favorite food truck, Burgerrito (since moved to Tennesee), could do. That will be my bar of standard for grilled sandwiches forever. The garlic fries were good and I enjoyed them. I was disappointed that he was out of the tomato herb potato chips. I can't remember his name, but I sure enjoyed service from the employee. He was super friendly, passionate about the truck, and energetic. Follow them on Facebook for days of service and location. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Tucson-top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!
