I have gone two times since they reopened. The first time I went for the lunch buffet. There was a significant waiting list to get in the restaurant. After waiting for several minutes we sat down and placed our drink order before proceeding to the buffet line. The food was amazing and the service impeccable. I love the decor of the restaurant. The second time, we went for the breakfast buffet. Again we had great service but this time the food wasn't as good. The menudo was undercooked and the panza was tough. Everything else was okay with the exception of their tacos. Their tacos were delicious. I would go back again. Paid 40 dollars for 2 buffets. read more

So disappointed. It is definitely not what I remember. We ordered a few things to try and it was swing and miss every time. Cheese enchiladas had NO flavor at all, it was like tomato sauce on corn tortillas. Beef mini chimis tasted like denti more beef in a can, chicken minis a little better. Rolled beef taquitos had like no beef in them. Pozole was very salty. Beans, a main staple in a Mexican restaurant, had no flavor or salt. Fruit salad smelled bad, looked bad and old. Rolled chicken taco came out cold inside. On a high note the server was awesome and very on it. Bathrooms are so small I hope you're not a big person. Not handicap friendly if you need assistance. Its like they focused on the look and colors, because it is beautiful. Food was second or even third on their list. Just a man with fat appetite for life. Remember chop it like its hot. read more

I have always enjoyed their food, the lunch special was not that good, it was on the salty side and the meat was cut in very small pieces. I'll return but stay clear of the steak. Service was excellent. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Portions were a little inconsistent, fajitas were a little overcooked. We had a big order to go for the office so that may affect freshness but nothing to really rave about read more

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. read more

Crossroads Restaurant - Looks like John Wayne also likes this place - Mexican Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

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. read more

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. read more

Great Mexican food on 4th. Mariachi's on weekends and buffet on Sunday. They also have some awesome seafood.

We were in Tucson visiting family and decided to stop by this restaurant on a recommendation. We showed up around 9AM and werseated quickly by the hostess and she took our drink order. She also offered a full menu or we could try the breakfast buffet at our leisure, so we opted for the buffet. There was tons of fresh, hot food which included chorizo and eggs, chilequiles and fresh breakfast potatoes. There was also an assortment of fresh fruit and tortillas as well. Everything tasted great, although around an hour after eating, my wife and I both had stomach cramps which ended up being food poisoning... no bueno... Maybe we just ate there on a bad day, but I won't be taking a second chance with this place! Be careful my foodies, and happy eating. Two thumbs down for the food poisoning read more

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. read more

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 read more

20 years ago, when I lived in Phoenix but was in Tucson for business a lot, this was my go-to restaurant. They had liver ranchero style and it was delicious. Then they stopped carrying it, so I stopped going there as it wasn't convenient to get to with regards to where I was staying while in Tucson, Friend and I decided to try it as neither of us had been there in years. Walking in, it looked the same. We were seated right away at a clean table. I saw no liver on the menu but did see lengua (tongue) which I love. The server was nice and knowledgable. Friend ordered carne asada Topopo salad (she orders it pretty much every time we go to a Mexican restaurant); I ordered Lengua Ranchera. The chips and salsa were really good. After a 10 minute wait, the server gave her her Topopo salad, and tried to give me an enchilada platter. I told her no, that I had ordered lengua, so she took the platter back. Friend started by removing huge slices of carrots all around the side of the salad. Just as she got them all off, the server came back and said that wasn't her salad - that it was a chicken Topopo salad and took it back. So we sat there and 5 minutes later, the server was back with what appeared to be the same salad. Friend dug down to the meat and it was chicken. Again the server was back, saying that that was a chicken Topopo and took it back. As this is happening, the table across from us mentioned that they were waiting on a chicken Topopo salad (two of them had been served their food; one was waiting on her salad). Another 10 minutes passed. We were given our food. The table across from us was still waiting on the salad. Friend dug down and affirmed that is was carne asada Topopo. My plate looked great. Lots of lengua, rice and beans. I tried the lengua and it was bland with no discernible spices. The onions and peppers were ok but again, no flavor to the food. Lengua is very bland so it needs some help in the flavor department. I looked at friend's food and asked her what was the gray stuff on her fork. She laughed and said it was the meat. She then stated that it was the worse salad she'd ever had. There were also no beans at the bottom of the bowl. Finally the table across from us got the chicken salad - after the other two people with her had cleaned their plates. The server asked us 4 times if we wanted water. We said yes; she brought water the first time. The next 3 times that she asked and we said yes, she didn't bring any water - just kept coming back and asking us if we wanted water. On top of that, there was a party going on in the room next to us with a woman singing. The music was WAY too loud - friend and I couldn't hear each other and had to shout. So all in all, not a good experience which was sad. As we were leaving I asked friend if they should get one or two stars on Yelp; she said one star so that's the rating I'm giving. For a restaurant that's been in business for YEARS, this is unacceptable. They should have service and food down to nothing but excellent. read more

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. read more

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. read more

You ready for heart-thumping, ear piercing, holiday-inspired, Latin-fusion Christmas music to go with your Sunday brunch? Step right in. Good. God. That was a first. Usually the live DJ might be spinning a mix of what generally sounds like mariachi, modern banda, tejano and norteño. But, no, not today. We were listening to what sounded like a pimped out version of "Holly Jolly Christmas" with several more trumpets than necessary. But I so enjoy this place. I have been a patron of Crossroads since I was, well, a college student. The prices are beyond reasonable and you get a nice sampling of food. Be forewarned: the parking lot seems like it was built before vehicles were made to carry 15 people at once. It's a great place for families, and families will frequent in large numbers. So will tourists, probably because it's can so easily be described kitsch. The interior decorating is bright and busy. You'll even find booth seats made out of what appears to be part of reused, antique wagon wheels. I would say the buffet is the best way to go -- but take note and call in advance. Word was that the buffet ended at 2 p.m., but it had ended well before noon on this particular visit. The breakfast buffet has a mix of standard Mexican and American fare. You'll find scrambled eggs, chilaquiles, bacon, sausage, refried beans, tortillas, a salsa station, fruits and a sample of other offerings. For lunch, they serve the likes of salad, tacos, chimichangas, tortas and will usually have a couple of soups, including menudo. I'll call it: It's a tourist trap. It's true! There are a number of Mexican and Mexico-inspired restaurants in Tucson of the same rate that fare much better than Crossroads; restaurants whose food is fresher and comes with more flavor, including Mosaic Cafe, Mi Nidito and *some* Mariscos Chihuahua locations. But I imagine I will always return to Crossroads. read more

This place is always good! The service is top notch and they really care about their customers.

I know alot of people who hate this place , i know alot of people who love this place ... i am a lover of the place . If im going to eat mexican im usually going to crossroads . I get but dont recommend if & only if your very picky on your carne seca. Its not dry , i love my seca dry but this place still has good flavorful carne seca , i always get it in a chimi with rice and beans . Recently i think they just started adding sourcream and guac with your plate . Its about 10.50 if i remember right , my lady ordered the birra in a chimi which isnt on the menu but they still made it no problem. I love this place and they have $1.00 beers at happy hour!

My favorite dish is the Shrimp Fajitas, they are absolutely delicious! Plentiful portion loaded with perfectly cooked shrimp seasoned just right! So damn good! The rice and beans are good , nothing super special, but they are always served piping hot, and it is clear they are freshly made! The Salsa is outstanding as well! Overall just a great place to eat top notch freshly prepared Mexican Cuisine! Oh did I mention they have a lunch buffet! read more

You guys, THEY HAVE A BUFFET! A Mexican food buffet for breakfast AND lunch. The last 2 times I came with my family all because I was craving a bowl (or 2, maybe 3) of pozole, and my mom hadn't made a pot of the stuff in a while. Sure there are better places in South Tucson, but this is my fave in the area, and every time I go for the buffet. Not sure if it's during the week, but on the weekends they have a dj. I'm picky and I don't have a refined palate, so I get the same thing every time, so I get a plate full of rice, followed by another plate of calabacitas, mini chimis, the meat and potatoes dish, and picadillo, and 4 tortillas. Also a bowl of pozole. They do have menudo (y'all are nasty for eating this) and birria, which is also tasty. They have a cart with fruit, onion, cilantro and salad mix. It's across the street from Rigo's which can possibly rival this place. read more

Planned an engagement party here and the food/service HORRIBLE! Did not get what I paid a good amount of money for! Chicken Fajitas with 2 pieces of chicken, a whole SLICE of uncooked tomato and waiting 5-7 min for some iced tea??? Absolutely ridiculous... never going back here again. And to think I dealt with the owners son who couldn't care less about the service/food or correct menu that was supposed to be given out. read more

Haven't dined at the restaurant so can only offer an honest review of a recent catered lunch. Food presentation looked good, but plates of food were made up ahead of time in an effort to expedite serving, which wasn't really an issue to begin with. All of the plates were cold, and there's nothing worse than cold Mexican food. Mini chimis, beans, rice, chips, etc. were cold and lacked flavor. I don't know if the lack of flavor was attributed to the food temperature, but either way, it was a disappointment. The catering experience could have been managed much, much better. read more

Wowzah, I never would have thought to be reviewing soup from a restaurant, but boy oh boy was their soup sincerely spectacular. The Poloza that is...

My mate is a Tucson native who has eaten at Crossroads (since 1936) many times. It's a fairly large restaurant with multiple rooms and colorful Mexican decor. We like to split meals due to the large quantities served these days. We split a house specialty of bacon-wrapped stuffed chiles with rice and beans ($20.50). The complimentary chips & spicy hot salsa hit the spot along with a cold beer. The entree was so good--like most things wrapped in bacon and drenched with melted cheese! We would definitely order it again but maybe think twice about our side order of guacamole, which was very good but a little small for $8.99. Nice Old Pueblo experience here. read more

I have been going to Crossroads since they still served on trays to the cars and pickups, pitchers of beer as well. The 7seas soup was the signature dish, but everything else was so good too. Since then, food has been up and down, but it seemed like a real up until recently. They stick to really basic, good, home style Mexican recipes, so how can they have made some really bad food lately? Plus: queso fundido so good, enough for a whole meal for two along with really good salsa. Do not order enchiladas of any sort, they are just terrible. No hot dog for your kid, you can't fool kids, they know bad. I ordered the cocido, usually so good and comforting on a cold night. Somebody new must be making it because it was so bad that I took it home and threw it away. I'm feeling so sad about this because Cross Roads is where I take out of town visitors and family. I'm glad I paid the bill, because we threw out all the food but the chips and salsa and the queso fundido, didn't want my guests on the hook for that. Please Cross Roads, come back!! What is so hard about an enchilada?? read more
