I love browsing farmers markets because you never know what unique foods and goodies you'll find…read more Jojoba Beef Company is one of those cool finds at the Uptown Farmer's Market on Saturdays. I've been searching for a new local beef supplier and I was intrigued by the idea of Jojoba fed beef. Grass fed beef, with local native grasses? Even better! I barely know what jojoba smells like, let alone tastes like, but I'm all for trying jojoba raised meat! The Jojoba Beef Company operates out of A-Diamond Ranch. According to the Uptown Farmer's Market website, owner Gregg has been honored with the title Conservation Rancher of the Year by AZ Game and Fish. While I browsed their menu of cuts offered, I overheard the person at the counter say that their ground meat was the most popular. I can imagine so since it tends to be one of the most versatile and cheapest options for beef but I can get good ground beef anywhere so bring on the specialty cuts! I initially was going to get hanger steak but when I saw the package of flat iron steak peeking out at me when the person at the counter opened the freezer chest I knew I had to get some! There were several sizes available. You basically had your Goldilocks pick of beef (Butcher edition) of small, medium and large. I opted for around a pound of the steak. I've cooked flat iron steak before so I already have a good idea of how I'd want to prepare it but I did appreciate the person at the counter giving me tips on the best way to cook the steak. Taking it home I stuck it snugly in my freezer until we felt like grilling. Thawing took maybe a day in the fridge. I ended up placing it in the sous vide then finishing it on our hibachi grill, seasoned simply with salt and Malaysian long pepper. Oh so tender and oh so good! Reading from the Uptown Farmer's Market website apparently jojoba fed beef has a greater concentration of Omega 3 fatty acids than Omega 6 so it is better for your heart health (Theoretically). Details: - At Uptown Farmer's Market on Saturdays - Cattle are 100% free range raised - Also known as "The Rancher's Daughter" (The seller in Phoenix is the actual rancher's daughter)

A friend of mine and me were exploring the area and he suggested that we have lunch there. My choice was the Chile relleno, flour taco with ground beef and a cheese enchilada and accompanied by rice and refried beans. The Chile relleno was cooked perfectly, along with everything else. If you are looking for authentic, fresh Mexican food this is the place to go. It was delicious! I can't wait for the return trip for breakfast! Highly recommended!

I picked up Fire on the Mountain's Green Chile Vinaigrette salad dressing and the Green Chile Dip…read moreMix at the St. Philip's Farmer's Market yesterday. He has samples in the cooler, so ask! This dip packs a punch!!! So, if you do not like spicy food, you may want to pass.... You mix half a cup of mayo, half a cup of sour cream, stir in the bled of spices and viola you have a party in your mouth. It is so different than any other dip on the market. It would really be great for a party, and I'm sure guests will inquire about it. I served it with pita chips, but I think it would be great with tortilla chips, potato chips, pretzels, or even some locally sourced veggies. The salad dressing has a sweet flavor with green chile overtones. I think it would be great to marinate some meat in it for the grill. They also sell a green chile stew and seasoning mix. I would love to get the seasoning mix....I think it is similar to the dip mix, but he added more chile to the dip mix. The web page suggests to shake the seasoning mix over popcorn, I don't even like popcorn, but after adding this, I might be inclined to give the kernels another go. This is truly a local product from a family owned and operated business....they even use the kitchen at Mercado San Agustin, which I think is way cool.

It is great on burgers and fish (mixed with a little mayonnaise). I always add it to any soup; it adds a nice low heat. My friends all love it and it is a great gift. JF

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!

Ol Pot Hole is officially a new go-to stop for us!…read more We had the #1 burger on the menu and it was amazing. The fries were great too, and the Southwest seasoning was SO good. Our server actually recommended that seasoning specifically because it paired best with the burger we chose -- such a small detail, but it made a difference! We also tried the BBQ chicken fries, which were delicious and a HUGE portion. Definitely come hungry! The service really stood out. Being in a food court, we weren't necessarily expecting that level of personal attention, which made it even more memorable. Great recommendations, great food, and genuinely great service. This is now a go-to stop anytime we're driving through or shopping nearby. Definitely worth stopping for!

Maybe they don't really want to sell gas except for golf carts and gas powered tools?
