    Fresh fast and delicious with extremely reasonable prices you get quite a lot of food for what you pay for also. You don't always want fried chicken. This is the perfect place to go for moist delicious grilled chicken. I opted for the original chicken bowl and added guacamole. There was definitely more than enough food to share. I couldn't finish it all. Looking forward to return to get their two piece mail combo that comes with two sides as I was waiting for my food. Everyone's food was coming out looked amazing friendly staff clean environment.

    Dirty floors

    Walking in, I noticed one of the employees being kind of dirty with her gloves. I hope when she walked in the back, she would change them out. I went and put my canister on a table so I can go wash my hands. I noticed this place was disgusting food all over the floor and tables looks like it hasn't been clean in days. I went to wash my hands and to my surprise the soap discrepancy was mostly water. I don't know if you're employees are stealing the soap or the owner is frugal, went back out and waited for my food then I saw the same lady who was touching on herself, was doing it again, but this time she was scratching her head with the gloves I had a discuss on my face and the male/female employee asked me what was wrong and I explained that the other employee was disgusting and he said sorry and didn't do anything about it. This location should be investigated by the health department.

    Don't come through, they close at 10pm not 11pm even though it says 11. Got there at 9:50pm, no one answered the intercom for 10min. Went inside to ask whoever that was like what was up, and they said we close in 5 min and I said "well I drove over here because it says you guys close at 11" like you can't make this up it's on your page. Pregnant. Disappointed. Wasted my gas & time, everything in turn was shutting down so I was fucked on anything else to get that night that wasn't someone's McDonalds or In-n-Out.

    Good service, fresh stuff. wimpy salsa? no huevos for the caliente I guess. Chicken taquitos salad - very fresh at 10:30 AM Saturday 1-15-2022 its all leftovers for the rest of you. Fairly easy in easy out via signals. But watch your butt you're in S. Tucson/N. Nogi.. Don't chu know.

    Amazing service and delicious food.

    Just opened here on Irvignton. My first time Ever at a pollo loco here in Tucson. I am a picky Mexican foodie and I avoid a lot Mexican food places for the same reason. I stopped to get give this place a try and I was very pleased with service and food. . I placed my order through drive through, Michele was the person who attended me and she delivered professional service, She was very attending, and happy. The grilled chicken was very good! The chicken burritos we very flavorful and my picky children ate them all and they wanted more. Keep up the amazing service and the tasty food. I came back for more!!

    I don't think this is how chicken is supposed to look. Gross. Tried calling the phone number five times no one answered. Not again.

Located in downtown Tucson, this iconic restaurant is full of character and beautifully decorated. We visited on a Saturday around 1 PM without a reservation and were told there would be a wait since the place was packed. They only have air conditioning in the indoor dining areas and basement, not on the outdoor patio. Luckily, we were seated in the basement, which turned out to be perfect. The service was commendable truly some of the sweetest and most attentive service we've experienced in a long time. We started with freshly made chips and salsa, which were an instant hit. For drinks, we ordered the El Tamarindo, Mangopeno, and Monica's Cafetini. For food, we chose the Vegan Jackfruit Taquitos Trio and the Fresh Corn Tamale Platter, which came with a side of squash. The drinks were excellent, with the Mangopeno being my favorite. But the real star of the meal was the tamale platter. Oh my goodness it was absolutely delicious! Everyone at the table kept digging in and couldn't get enough. Even the squash side was so flavorful that we ordered an extra serving. The vegan jackfruit taquitos were a bit too deep-fried for our liking and didn't quite compare to the incredible tamales. To finish, we shared a caramel flan, which was the perfect sweet ending to the meal. The pricing was very reasonable, the service was exceptional, and the food was memorable. We will definitely be back again if only for those amazing tamales!

She was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind, and she made our whole experience feel welcoming from start to finish. The hosts were kind too. There was plenty of seating, a dedicated bar, TVs, and nice lighting. The patio has misters, which is perfect for this time of year. They offer booth and table seating, and the tables aren't packed too close together. With party members who have different mobility challenges, the spacing was great and made everything comfortable. The food was delicious. The complimentary bottomless chips and salsa were fresh and generous. If you order the horchata, it comes with free refills too, which is such a nice touch. My husband ordered 2 birria tacos with caldo and loved them. My father in law ordered 2 ground beef enchiladas with red sauce, and my mother in law ordered 2 plain ground beef tacos. I shared the ceviche with my dad, which was fresh and flavorful, and we each ordered one Quesabirria. It was so good! Dessert was perfect. We tried the flan and the chocolate flan.

The restaurant was packed and it was the holidays so it was understandable. We were told to wait at the back of the restaurant which we did.

Then someone else came up and they both started whispering and then told us that we would not be seated after all. We asked what had happened (was the kitchen too busy?) but were not told anything other than "she told us not to seat you". The secretive whispering made it a very confusing situation. We sat back down and waited some more. Eventually we got seated, but then the food took another hour to come after we ordered. We asked a few times for water refills but eventually gave up when it didn't come. The plus side - the FOOD. The mole sauce was really good, best I've had! The chicken mole was my favorite dish but the beef with chile was also spectacular. Both corn and flour tortillas were so good here. It was really delicious and I would come back for the food, but not for the service.

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.
