    Enchiladas with jackfruit delicious and vegan
    Lori A.

    Today I had the vegan nachos with mushrooms. It was delicious and the portion size was huge. I would have liked a little more heat- maybe some jalapeños, more onions etc. But maybe that's just me. I'm sure my server would have brought me something if I asked. Very lovely experience as always!

    Chips and Salsa
    Betsy L.

    We had dinner at CharroVida to check out their new menu, and enjoyed our meal of both some old favorites and new options. We started with chips and salsa, then had Brussels and Shishitos, Yuca Street Fries, and the Pollo Al Pastor. It was all delicious! I, for one, am very enamored of the yuca fries here. They're satisfyingly crispy like thinner French fries, but have the earthy heartiness of a wedge cut potato. Topped with chickpea chorizo, peppers, and onions? That's a can't-miss combo! The Pollo Al Pastor is a huge portion of chicken, so bring your appetite! The new dinner entrees are pricier than the old menu, but the portions and quality are definitely there.

    Apple - cranberry mini chimis

    I really like their taqueria salad and I enjoy their churros and chimichanga seasonal desserts. Other items are hit or miss for me. I think their prices are also really high for the serving sizes but I got their Christmas in July gift cards and therefore it made it more worth it for me to try some stuff. The one thing that I find really bad there is the service. I think they really need to work on that. So many things about it are bad. For example, last time I was there and told them they brought my meal with the wrong side (sweet potato fries instead of yucca fries I ordered), Instead of leaving the food with me so I can start eating with my friend who also got their food and just bringing the correct side separately, they insisted to take my whole plate and my friend was pretty much done eating when I got it back. I do like their ambience both indoors and on the patio.

    Nice atmosphere with acoustic guitarist at the front door which added
    Kris L.

    The decor is very upscale and there was a live guitarist playing near the front door which added to the ambience and is much better that's the too loud strolling mariachis that some Mexican restaurants employ. We started with a mocktail ( excellent), and the guaco-hummus dish which is highly recommended. Is comes with roasted chickpeas, watermelon radish and cucumbers, though plantain chips were mentioned on teh menu but we only got corn tortilla chips. The chopped salad is also very good, loads of toppings. I had a red chili hemp tamale and corn and green chili tamale with whole black beans and cilantro rice, very good and healthy. Hubby had the shrimp enchiladas and was disappointed that there was way too much cheese and he likes cheese. Overall I would go back but skip the enchiladas.

    After our tour de cookie ride, opted for brunch with our group. We were seated on patio w/ shade provided and a good server. All areas were clean including bathrooms. Food arrived timely and beverages were good. Our meals good presentation and flavor for our 1st visit here. Plenty of plant based options and gluten free labeled.

    There's something for everyone here. My brother who is vegan and myself- gluten-free, were both able to find great entrées. We had excellent service in a very inviting atmosphere.

    Great vegan friendly restaurant. Lots of indoor outdoor seating. Wonderful quick service. Great for large groups or intimate gatherings. Really enjoyed my food. We got the HH vegan mini chimichangas (chimis) great deal! I tried the vegan tamale jackfruit & vegan relleños. relleños was amazing, my favorite dish. I'd be amiss if i didn't give a special shout out to their vegan bread pudding. Cinnamon chocolate gooeyness. Honestly, I've never tried or even seen this as an option at other restaurants. It was the perfect balance, sweet, soft, moist perfection. A must try!!

    Kombucha
    Desiree G.

    This is a nice little gem in North Tucson. I was impressed with the overall vibe and decor. This place is definitely an upscale option for Mexican food. The high ceilings and live music are a nice touch. We had a tasty lunch. Starting with the charred Brussels, this dish is flavorful, but light. I also had the house kombucha, which was mild and fruity in flavor, not too vinegary. For lunch I had the classic chile relleno, which was filled with cheese, and spicy!! I like that it was smothered in a green sauce that didn't overshadow the green chile flavors. Mom had the tortilla soup with steak. She's a huge fan of tortilla soup and felt this version was pretty bland. We ordered chips and salsa when I realized the dish I ordered wasn't going to be enough to fill my tummy. It came with two different salsas that were really good and fresh. Overall I liked the atmosphere and service. I think this would be a fun place to sit at the long bar, enjoy a cocktail and listen to music. I thought the portions were small in size considering the cost. They have a lot of vegetarian and vegan dishes. They list the allergens on the menu, which is fantastic. Service was great. Ample parking in front and back of the shopping center. Outdoor seating is available as well. Great place for brunch. I'll remember this spot next time I'm in town.

    Prickly pear martini and the spicy margarita
    Mel S.

    Food was delicious! It's a good twist of Mediterranean and Mexican. The spicy margarita was spicy, it was fresh jalapeño seeds and all! Service was great! We were able to sit outside with our dog and enjoy a nice dinner.

    Happy hour menu
    Chelsea J.

    Our server tonight was Brandon and he was excellent. I made a reservation for 6:00 but it wasn't busy so we were sat right away. Tonight I had the salmon tacos with calabacitas and yucca fries (my fave). The tacos aren't as good as they used to be on their old menu but the portion is very generous.

    Come on down
    Jodi H.

    Well, I didn't think it would, but I'm just not as thrilled as I wanna be. This place has raised prices and lowered what they offer. Happy hour used to have some really good Shareables; now they have pretty much scaled back. My girlfriend and I ordered soup and salad and got chips for the table that you now have to pay for. We had six people sitting at our table who ordered a lot of food and they bring one bowl of chips and one serving of salsa for $3.50. How about just bringing those chips and salsa when people are ordering a ton of food. I like to have salsa with my Hispanic meal. Just not as happy as I want to be $20 for a small salad and bowl of soup is a little pricey in my book.

    Prickly pear lemonade
    Belle V.

    My first time here, it's a neat restaurant. Interior is clean and simple. Relaxing atmosphere, place is packed when we got here. But we were seated right away. The wait was too long for our beverage, understandable cause they're busy. Food came at least half an hour after we placed the order. But I think it was worth the wait cause food is delicious! Our server is nice, but did not check on us after she has served our food. If you're hungry and in a rush, I don't think this place is ideal. But if you just want to have a good meal and relaxing. This could be your place.

The staff where beyond amazing, especially the woman who made our complementary salsa right at the table. And the salsa was yummy but sadly that's the only part of the meal that I can say that about. The thing is, nothing was truly bad, but just about everything was incredibly bland. You'd have expected someone who puts raisins in potato salad to have served it, not an authentic Mexican restaurant. Though the positive is the lack of seasoning is really the only major problem. The food did not have any weird taste, it wasn't dry, the presentation was fine. It simply needs to be seasoned and this place goes to a solid 4/5 rather than a three.

Their back patio looks super cute for warmer nights and the food was great. Little bit of a wait but the friendly servers got us sat as soon as possible at 7pm Saturday. Salsa and chips were tasty, the carne asada was excellent. The corn tortillas are thick and perfectly charred. The green enchiladas were good too. The sauce was thicker than usual, but that's probably the Native fusion instead of being just Mexican enchiladas. So glad we stopped in, we ate every bite. Forgot to take a picture until I was half through!

Honestly, I wish I could give Yaquesita a little more, maybe half a star more, because this place definitely has potential. Their flavors are good, but compared to similar restaurants the menu feels a bit overpriced. For a party of three we ended up paying around $100, which felt like a bit much for what we got. The restaurant itself is pretty small with only about 3-4 tables inside, but the patio is a decent size and has a cute vibe. It's actually a nice option on cooler days if you don't mind sitting outside. Some items were better than others. The wet-style burrito was delicious and definitely a highlight. The quesabirrias were good, however the birria felt more like fancier shredded beef. It was missing that rich, spicy, slightly acidic, earthy flavor that usually sets birria apart from barbacoa or traditional shredded beef dishes. The bowl was just okay and had lots of lettuce. It felt more like a salad with a bit of meat, rice, and beans. Honestly, Chipotle does bowls better, and that says a lot considering the price. The nachos were good, but I've had better. Seis Kitchen has amazing nachos to share. That said, it's definitely a place I'd come back to mainly out of convenience, not because one particular item on the menu won my heart. I really do hope they continue refining the menu because the flavors are there and this place could easily become a standout spot. Personally I just think at the total price of my ticket other restaurants should not even have room in my mind during my meal. If you're in the area and looking for a safe bet where everyone will probably find something they like, it's worth giving them a try.
