Chilled Cheese Chile Relleno a la Carte
Mark A.

I'm just going to count and say it, the food is just ok not great but ok. The service is ok, the mariachis were so load my ears were ringing. Crossroads has been there forever and I have had friends that love it, I understand that because it's overall experience is not that bad. I'm just not excited to go back.

Beef Flauta Chicken Flauta
Crystal M.

This place was recommended by our customer since we were not from the area. I have gluten sensitivity so it was hard to communicate that to the staff who were super nice! So I opted for the rolled corn flautas . Super delicious!!! Both the chicken and the beef. My associate had the special chimichanga and was super pleased. The restaurant is super cute and the staff was excellent! I hope I make it back to try again!

Sonoran hot dogs
Tim C.

TL;DR Ate before 5 in an empty restaurant and it took 45 minutes for the food. It was good though. We stopped in Crossroads on a recommendation from a local, and we're seated around 4 PM. The restaurant wasn't very busy, and we were seated quickly. Two of us got the Sonoran Hot Dogs, one tacos and one a beef burro. Sadly, it took 45 minutes for the food to arrive. This was my first experience eating the Sonoran Hot Dogs and they are crazy good. The tacos had a crazy good, crack-like sauce on the side. The burro was meh. Pretty bland tasting. The chips and salsa were really good. They serve Pepsi out of the fountain and Coke from the bottle.

Cheese Crisp

Mexican Restaurant near the freeway to meet up with family coming from Sierra Vista. Met up at lunch time. Plenty of spacious seating. Friendly staff. Ordered cheese crisp appetizer, chips & salsa while we waited for everyone to arrive. We had Cheeseburger, chicken tenders, chicken flautas & shrimp enchiladas! We were craving so much. Haha. Good atmosphere had us munching & laughing. Good spot for good family time.

Crossroads is one of the first Tucson institutions we began visiting almost 12 years ago & after over a year...we finally went again without disappointment. We've taken quite a few family & friends for a meal & never had a bad experience. After seeing numorous family restaurants closed because of dumb politicians, it was awesome to find them open & to give them some money. Saturday afternoon gave them plenty of business & as usual, live local music. The crowds are diverse. Large & small families, dates, friends. They have a buffet on Sundays & it was always quite busy in the past. We were seated under the bull, which made me terribly happy. Even though we contemplated a different dish or 20, we went for mixed fajitas..have to ask for them, they aren't on the menu. Steak, chicken, shrimp, along with rice, beans, sour cream, guacamole. All meats were cooked perfectly. We added a super nacho with carne asada & chicken. We piled fajita onto nachos & had a wonderful lunch. As usual, the portions were so large the two dishes could have easily fed 4 to 6 people. We took home 3 large clamshells of leftovers. We didn't add any drinks. The experience was a $40 bundle of joy. Went home, watched The Sound of Music & took a nap.

If you're looking for a good place to eat in Tucson check out this place. They only have one big table but you can definitely sit together if you have a large group in the back. Friendly people and delicious food. If you like sweet corn and green chili tamales these are tasty.

We have so many great choices in this area for Mexican food, and given we had never been here we thought we would give it a try. The moment we discovered it was a breakfast buffet (and only $10 plus change) my husband was ALL in. The first thing that I loved about Crossroad was their parking spaces. They just seem huge to me, so no cramming cars in and getting door dings here. The service was great, yes even though it was a buffet (although you can order from the menu). The server checked in often for drink refills and cleared plates. There was also a lady making eggs to order plus waffles/pancakes in the small buffet area. While the buffet area is small there is plenty to choose from when you think Mexican breakfast food. Chilaquiles, Chile Rellano, Pozole, Menudo, Potatoes, Beans, Calabasitas, and the list goes on. There is also a fruit/salad bar area, fresh tortillas and toasted bollilo and chips/salsa.

The filling

I came in for lunch. It wasn't busy, It is a Monday though. I got seated fast. My waitress was pleasant. I got a basket of chip right away with a salsa and a little dish of limes with out having to ask. I had water to drink and ordered the Monday Special of shredded beef burrito for 8.99 I added enchilada style that is a little extra charge. The food was good the meat had a nice flavor. The rice was a little salty and dry. One thing did bother me thought as I boxed my left overs I say a bunch of dark colored baby ants. I put my phone light on to make sure I was seeing right. I immediately told the waitress and she said she will not seat no one there. I hope she tells her manager so they can take care of that issue. I feel itchy now :( She handed me my bill and it was under 16.00. Not my favorite way to end my lunch. Now that I think of it, I should have took a picture of them critters.

Rice and beans
Amanda D.

Stopped by because we had a bogo coupon. The place was cute inside and reminded me of a typical traditional Mexican restaurant. The complimentary chips and salsa were decent... the chips could have been more fresh and a larger portion of salsa would have been nice. I did like the limes though! I opted for the steak fajitas and my boyfriend went with the shrimp enchiladas. The food came out quick but was simply lacking flavor. I had to salt my food generously. The steak itself was over cooked and the vegetables were undercooked. The rice and beans were also bland. Our waitress was friendly and the prices were decent but this wasn't a meal I'll rave to my friends about.

Front of restaurant

We were hungry for a good Mexican breakfast but wanted someplace we haven't tried yet so we went to the crossroads restaurant after driving around for a while just kind a hoping we'd find somewhere. Great find! We chose the breakfast buffet which if I remember right was 1399 each you get your drink with that, ( coffee soft drinks etc.) the choices are wonderful we will definitely go back but next time I want to try the lunchtime buffet which I believe runs from 11 to 2 but you'd have to check and then at night there is no buffet the help is great the service is fast and friendly and the food taste just perfect ,Thumbs up and we will see them again

chicken mole
Berna V.

Very satisfying meal! Crossroads does not disappoint especially if you're hungry. Even the appetizers are in big servings. Their salsa with the complementary chips is prob one of the best ones in Tucson. Some of my fave dishes include the carne seca, and the mole, but honestly can't go wrong with anything in the menu. It also helps that all the servers and staff have great customer service skills. Def a local favorite and one of the numerous Mexican restaurants in the area worth a try.

Chips, salsa, and a Bohemia
Erick D.

This place was good, but not great. I went because the place across the intersection was closed. The portions were generous, but it wasn't anything remarkable from a flavor perspective. The staff was OK, but may have been apathetic due to it being slow late at night. The chips and salsa were good, but not great. I would have preferred to give 3.5 stars, but not worthy of 4 stars.

Rich, chocolatey mole. Two kinds of salsa. Clean cuts of beef with little fat. Friendly servers. You should try it!

Santa Rita Park

Have I finally found the promised land of fish tacos in Tucson? I think so…read more La Palma may be the closest experience in Tucson to the Baja fish tacos I could find throughout Southern California. Their big white food trailer is topped with a large blue tarp that shades a comfortable seating area. The location is kiddy corner from a gleaming white church at the opposite side of the intersection. In a short time, La Palma has become my go-to for fish tacos because the quality is consistent and they know how to dress the tacos with the right combination of flavors. Additionally, they make a mean horchata that compliments the meal perfectly. I'm probably in the wrong crowds because I have not heard other people mention La Palma while praising quite lesser places. I don't get it. All I can say is that for those SoCal folks who are passing through Tucson and are hankering for good fish tacos, pull up to La Palma and be overjoyed. P.S. The folks here are very nice and welcoming.

Have eaten here maybe 6 times…read more Its a food trailer at a dirt lot on 22nd and 6th...gets real busy for lunch. Ambiance....not much to speak of, dining area is clean...3 stars. Service...superb, always feel welcomed, helpful and accomodating. 5 stars Food...interesting...some that i have had is stellar, some not. The breading on the fried shrimps is excessive, in my opinion. Just had the grilled fish quesedilla, and it was outstanding...cheese, garlicky, lots of fish..will have again...but I didn't care for the fish tacos. The cooked shrimp tostada is a winner 4 stars.

Yes, delicious, well seasoned with a lot of flavor. My husband ordered the grilled fish tacos and he said it was good as well. They give you some mango salsa for the tacos. Service: we sat at a high table by the bar and this cute robot server was going around delivering the food orders. We sat on a high table so we didn't get to be served by the robot but that's ok because Nayeli (I think that was our bar server) did an excellent job taking care of us. Prices were comparable to other establishments like this. $$ Ambiance: I can tell this place can get crowded so plan ahead and be patient.

My first option was to try the fish, but when I heard what type of fish they were using, I kindly declined. Opted for the calamari with a side salad with ranch I'm a settle at the calamari was good. It was nice and fresh and hot, but the salad was disgusting. I asked for ranch and they put some type of dressing which turns out to be dressing for coleslaw. I advised my waitress to her response was that's the first time I heard someone not lagging it. Interesting didn't offer to switch it out for a plain salad or to switch it for french fries especially since I paid extra to get a salad.. At our table, we also have the chicken strips which is plentiful. It's enough to feed the entire table in fact, so lots of leftovers of that that was also good because it was fresh and hot. My son went for the combo with the snow, crab legs, shrimp, potatoes, and corn. He also said it was delicious, but I don't believe I'll come back. It's unfortunate cause I really did wanna like this place, but without being offered a substitute or the exact same salad minus the dressing that was placed on it that did not taste very good at all. It was sour. For the cost of their food, I'd rather spend my money elsewhere
