Yelp Event
Trevor C.

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.

Huevos rancheros.

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.

Tostadas

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!!

Vegan Asada Nachos

My favorite Mexican restaurant in Tucson. So many vegan options. Delicious. Clean. Flavorful. The owners are soooooo lovely. They are at many events. The vegan market night. And the Sunday farmers market.

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 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!

I'm still a big fan of their tostadas and gorditas. Always fresh and so delicious. The vegan tamale plates are also worth a try. I'm not vegan but appreciate good food! Their beans are particularly good too! Love del cielo!

Vegan pancakes from their unlimited breakfast buffet
Debbie K.

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!

Christmas enchiladas with vegan carne asada, my favorite
Evie S.

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!

Love the vegan blueberry pancakes here ! Owner is a gem . I'm a regular . The vegan conchas are a rare find as well.

Vegan Breakfast Burrito
Alex C.

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.

Sunny Breakfast
Anthony N.

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!!

chile relleno
Michelle M.

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.

Which, you know, is kind of the whole point of a restaurant. The atmosphere was great, a little on the nose, but great none the less. It feels like a Mexican dinner or at least what I imagined a dinner in Mexico would look like. 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.

Spacious patio area, with cool lights, umbrellas, and many tables. If you have a choice and it isn't too hot, sit outside. The food is stellar! I got their ranch style flat enchilada, which is more or less a thick masa topped with enchilada flavors and spices. So yummy. (And it's vegetarian too!) The rest of the table (3 more) ordered the green chicken enchiladas. They didn't need to rave about it: their plates were completely clean at the end of the meal! We ordered Tamarindo and Horchata drinks between us, and frankly, the Tamarindo is some of the best I've ever had anywhere. Service can be a little slow, especially if they're busy. But we didn't really mind. It was a nice experience.

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.
