My friend was in town visiting so she picked this place as they have vegan and traditional options. Both were amazing! This is the spot for amazing homemade food. The guacamole and salsa and chips were the tastiest and freshest I've had in Tucson. The traditional tacos Duratos was amazing down to the rice and beans which is always a big deal for me. I am picky about rice and I ate all of it!! I picked to the beef and potato taco option and it came with a consome and omg it's like eating at your aunties house. Everything was homemade tasting and fresh and full of flavor. I cannot wait to come back. The service is nice and the spot is chill and laid back . Not pretentious feeling. I would def recommend the Jaimaca. It was just right not to sweet. Still had the tartness that I love. Highly recommend trying this delicious local restaurant.
Update: I tried a few other menu items and I'm officially a major fan of their tacos dorados. I ordered them with chicken and they were perfectly fried. The plate comes with three tacos. I ate 1.5 and was satisfied. Their red salsa is also so good. The menu has been updated and the new look is much better. They have plenty of options for vegan and non-vegan diners. The service is slow but friendly. I love del cielo.
Very nice experience overall. I tried the chicken burrito bowl, not wanting to commit to a large burrito and had a smaller tortilla on the side. It was very flavorful with the pickled onions and pico de gallo. The bowl also had a good serving of chicken, and a scoop each of rice and beans. We shared some guac and chips and the guacamole was very good. The service was great, but had little omissions of things like no utensils beforehand, the tortilla coming in later, etc. but nothing insurmountable. Everyone was very pleasant and friendly. We enjoyed the space and found that it wasn't too loud to have a conversation. We appreciated the pleasant atmosphere.
The only Mexican food in town I will eat. And the vegan menu is sooo good don't sleep on it. Our waiter Isaiah is always so nice and helpful. The tres leches cake is delicious too!
I was really excited to try this place after coming across their IG page. I went with a friend on a Friday for lunch. I got the sweet green corn tamal and the pork tamal plate, which came with rice, beans, and pico. The tamales were lukewarm, that was a little disappointing. The sweet green corn tamale was tasty but a little dry, needed a sauce or something to go with it. The pork tamale was pretty dry, the pork had some flavor but the rest was bland. The rice was good, the beans were super flavorful, the pico tasted like it had been in the fridge for a while where the tomato starts to get mushy. My friend got the beef sopes. The beef had good flavor but the rest was again so bland, needed citrus or vinegar or something. The watermelon agua fresca was refreshing. I really wanted to like this place. Service was prompt. The atmosphere was inviting, the wood chairs were a little rickety at our table.
I can't believe this is just my first time here. So excited when I saw the menu and for an early breakfast! My kids had pancakes with vegan eggs and potatoes while my wife and I chomped on some awesome Mexican dishes. The chilaquiles were on point! So delicious as I ordered half red and half green. My wife ordered the chile relleno. Thought it would be covered in like a vegan egg but was doused in this sauce! She was a bit disappointed until she tried it. Then she had a big smile and loved the sauce! You have to try this place! Not only is the food scrumptious, but the service was amazing. Keep it up Del Cielo! We're coming back for that Buffet and other menu items
I cannot believe today was my first time coming to Del Cielo! I have had their vegan tacos from the vegan market at Rillito Park in the past, and thought they were great. Today, I came to try the breakfast menu and was in love. Though I am not vegan, I wanted to try their vegan menu, as this is one of the few restaurants that puts dedication into vegan food, using real foods and not just meat substitutes. The dedication shines through into the taste, textures, and flavors of the food. I ordered the Tamal Plate and loved how the tamale came crispy. The restaurant was busy on this Sunday morning, making the service a little slow. However, every worker was very friendly and helpful despite the busy day. The inside is also decorated nicely, making you feel cozy. There is also some outside seating that I would have loved to have utilized if it wasn't full. I am excited to come back to try more of the menu! I highly recommend Del Cielo to both vegans and non-vegans!
I brought visiting relatives here after experiencing their vegan menu during a recent Yelp elite event. It is tough to find good vegan food in a place that serves tasty nonvegan options as well. Server was lovely and made us feel like we were being served in her home. I also love that the breakfast menu is available all day! Everyone was very pleased with their meal. I got a red chile spinach tamale and a birria taco- they were solid although probably the least interesting. My vegan auntie got the vegan chile relleno and described it as very green and fresh . Others in the party got Andy's enchiladas which have an egg served on top. Thanks for a lovely meal in a comfortable environment. My family are creatures of habit so I imagine we will be back every time they visit!
My sister discovered this restaurant recently (at a Yelp event I think) and I am so glad we came. It's a big open space with a nice outdoor area (it's December so not quite outside dinner weather). The tables are well spaced and comfortable, and the table settings are attractive. They have an extensive vegan menu, and our resident vegan got the Chile relleno and pronounced it excellent. The Chile was very fresh, the filling was mushroom and beans and things, and the sauce was exceptional. I was most excited for the all day breakfast options - I got the Andy's enchiladas with cheese and red sauce and fried eggs and it was glorious! The little pitchers of green salsa were also very tasty! I was sad there is only menudo on the weekends but there were plenty of options and I will be back for menudo. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!!
I was so honored to be invited to a Yelp Elite event at Del Cielo Tamal - Holiday Posada Celebration! This lovely spot is located just off Campbell, and it was such a treat to experience their 100% vegan offerings. We enjoyed a buffet-style spread and wow--everything was delicious. The beans were seriously amazing, so flavorful and comforting. They even shared that they don't use pinto beans, but a different variety, and you can definitely taste the difference. We also had perfectly cooked rice and two kinds of vegan "meat": carne asada and machaca. I loaded both into warm flour tortillas and made the most fabulous tacos . Let's talk salsa--because it deserves its own moment. So fresh and flavorful! Do yourself a favor and try the green salsa... it's amazing and totally addictive. We also got to try two kinds of vegan tamales: green corn and red chili. Both were great, but I'm definitely a red chili kind of girl. To top it all off, we were treated to Mexican hot chocolate, which was the perfect cozy ending to a wonderful evening. Del Cielo Tamal truly impressed me--great food, great vibes, and such a special event. I can't wait to come back!
Family owned and operated with some amazing dishes. Vegan tamales are great but the refried beans are absolutely delicious! Friendly staff, lots of seating and very clean.
I have tried many different vegan Mexican food and this is one of the authentic delicious ones. Their region of Mexico is Sinaloa. The owner was very nice and friendly. They work hard to provide vegan menu and vegan breakfast buffet to serve Tucson vegan community. We are visiting so the dishes that we can try in a short time are limited. We went for breakfast one day and vegan breakfast buffet the next day. Both we had excellent culinary experiences. Their tamales are special and called greencorn tamales. They are delicious. The breakfast buffet includes about 9-10 items and pancakes and tamales are included. Their food is delicious and authentic. Service is excellent!
I really appreciated all the vegan options at Del Cielo Tamales. I'm not vegan myself and I often enjoy plant based meals. Came in mid afternoon on Valentine's Day and it was a little less than half full inside. We tried the red beef enchiladas, taco plate, green salsa chicken tamale, and vegan tres leches. I thought the food was good but not super flavorful or impressive. Some of the tacos were kind of bland with very few ingredients (e.g., carne asada and raw onions), the tamale was very heavy on the made without much chicken, and parts of our order came out incorrect. Our server quickly addressed the issues and brought out the correct items. The tres leches was the perfect amount of soggy for me but the icing ans strawberries on top tasted a little artificial and too sweet. Not sure I'd be back but it was still fun to try.
I love DEL CIELO. Exaggeration to that because I love it. The food is incredible. The service always great. And the space is perfect. We've been loving the Thursday and Saturday vegan all you can eat buffet from 9am-11:30am. Hurry to check it out, so good. read more
I came back after a few years, and this time we ordered the tacos dorados, one pork tamal, and chips and salsa. The tacos dorados were missing salt in the filling (I had the same issue the first time I visited), but once we added some, they tasted so much better. The pork tamal was on point. The chips, which seemed to be from a bag, and the salsa were just okay. They were also very skimpy with the salsa. Service was good, slightly slow at the beginning, but once they noticed us looking around, they were much more attentive. The restaurant has beautiful décor and a very open, spacious feel. Overall, it was a nice experience, although there is definitely room for improvement with the food and service. read more

Had a group lunch at Del Cielo on Sunday, March 15th. We ordered from the vegan menu and not only was the food delicious, the service was outstanding. I had the huevos rancheros that had vegan egg on crispy tortillas (apparently i also had it a previous time i ate there, so it's very yummy). Will always recommend this place to everyone. read more
I really like their cute little patio area and enjoy their big vegan menu. My favorite dishes I have tried are the tacos dorados with house made from scratch vegan carne asada and the carne asada enchiladas Christmas style. Sadly several time I went thy left off the guacamole/ avocado off my dish for me to realize later. I find it disappointing that it happened more than once given that they would certainly charge extra if I wanted to add that to a dish. I also tried the horchata ones to find lots of unmixed powder in. I do like their red and green sauces, beans and in general their very large vegan menu. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite! read more

Beans were good & the chile relleno sauce was good! Rice was bland. The tamale was 98% masa, which wad a huge disappointment considering tamale is in the name ... the server never checked in on us & didn't even ask how the food was when we were trying to check out. Just handed the "toast" machine so we could pay. read more

We really enjoyed our visit today, and have enjoyed our other trips here as well. Today we came for their vegan breakfast buffet, now being offered on Thursday and Saturday mornings. They have a good variety of dishes on the buffet, including vegan chorizo con papas, nopales, "eggs", machaca de Jamaica, rajas con crema, chilaquiles, soup, beans & tortillas, arroz con leche style oatmeal, and pancakes. The food was replaced frequently and new options brought out as well. The buffet price also includes black coffee, cafe de olla, and agua frescas. All for $17.99/ person, it's a steal! We will definitely be back read more
I always love Del Cielo's food. What's not to love with a restaurant that has a dedicated vegan menu. The owners are always there, they are very welcoming and knowledgeable with their food. My favorite is the just egg vegan breakfast burrito with vegan Carne Asada. I have no idea what magic goes into this burrito, but it is always delicious. My meat eater friends always love the options as well. It's a great place for any dietary needs. Their tortilla chips are thick, crunchy and salty and amazing. Their tortillas I wish they sold, or maybe I missed the memo but I would eat nothing but those for the rest of my life if I could. Same with their refried beans which are not pinto beans, and again just magical and delicious. It's a must try, and a hidden gem in a busy restaurant saturated area. read more

I stoped in here for bunch and had been here a few times before. The staff is always friendly and super attentive. It's a smaller cozy little spot perfect for a weekend brunch. They offer tow menus one for your standers fair and one that's all vegan with a TON of options. I went with the sunny breakfast. The meat was seasoned super well and the corn tamal was the best I've ever had!! read more

I've been here a couple times now and the food has been incredible both times. I'm not sure if it was busy in a way we couldn't see but our server came over two times and said to let her know if we had any questions and left quickly before we could ask haha. We had to stop her the second time so we could order drinks. Our chips and guac were forgotten until we reminded her. Other than that the staff were nice and the food was delicious and the group I was with loved the vegan options. read more

I brought my sister and nieces here because they wanted to try some vegetarian Mexican food and this place was recommended to me. The interior is so well decorated that it truly felt like stepping into a nice restaurant. The staff were so helpful and checked on us many times and were able to adjust and accommodate my nieces meals because you know how picky young kids are. They handled it with no problems. I got three tacos. I think one was refried beans and other two were jackfruit. If you need a very good vegetarian or vegan Mexican restaurant this is your place! The menu is extensive but they also serve regular Mexican food. Prices are on par and while the parking lot is small, there is plenty of street parking. Definitely coming back here again. It's a small family owned business that takes pride in themselves and I really like supporting a place like that. read more

One of the best vegan Mexican restaurant, has a real menu for vegan food and the ratio is equal. Amazing flavours, I literally slept for 3 hours after eating. Definitely going back again. Friendly staff. Artistic Ambience, full of natural light. read more
Vegan breakfast buffet!! We stopped by at 9am and there were already a few tables occupied. The owner said Saturday is the busiest day. The breakfast buffet is served Thursdays and Saturdays. You pay when you arrive. It comes with their wonderful cafe ole or strawberry lemonade which is made fresh. You don't notice that all the dishes are vegan. It was delicious and the service was great. read more

I've had food from here at the farmers market and loved the chorizo breakfast burrito and tamales. Today I stopped in the restaurant to grab breakfast to go. They have a regular menu and a full vegan menu. I ordered the Navolato plate-eggs, beans, machaca and a fried green corn tamale. Everything was delicious! I was disappointed in the portion size for the price. For $17 I expected a bigger portion of meat and beans. I never had a fried tamale and would request it not to be fried next time as a personal preference. The food really is delicious though. Service was great too and it didn't take long for them to make my order. read more

I have been wanting to try DelCielo for a while and I'm so glad I was able to today! We had some great food and wonderful service. The mole was a little on the sweeter side. The enchiladas are made with homemade sauce with authentic flavor. The atmosphere is so lovely, almost hacienda style down to the cute salt shaker de barro. We want to come back to experience their vegan buffet. read more

I went to Del Cielo Tamales on a Saturday around 11 am for brunch and it was packed! They had their vegetarian buffet but I decided to try something off their menu! The tacos dorados were delicious, very flavorful and very crispy! However, it is a little bit pricey at $17.00 but overall, I think it was worth it! read more
After smelling the amazing scents coming from Del Cielo we finally made it in! The inside is so vibrant and open- they were getting ready for a large party and it looked like they were going to comfortably seat 50 people or so! We went with vegan friends and I love that they have a fully vegan menu option! The menu had lots of traditional and tasty sounding dishes. We got a bit of breakfast and lunch and everything was vibrant and flavorful. The breakfast plate was classic and really top notch- the potatoes, Chorizo... everthing was good. The salsa has an incredible heat and the jamaica was the perfect cool down. Staff were friendly and attentive and didn't rush us at all while they prepped which was appreciated. read more
