    Variety of mugs
    Mary B.

    You never get the same designed coffee mugs each visit... love their collection AND my Denver omelette with biscuit and hash browns. Other person had veggie omelette with whole eggs and toast and home fries. Great service, quick and personable. This place was hopping and no line at 9:45am, if you want to arrive and get a seat right away.

    What a fun little spot. It is definitely not fancy, but it was friendly, quick service, good food, and hot coffee. We both got the pork chop breakfast. I did mine with lower carb options and my husband had the regular one. The pork chops were pretty thin, but cooked nicely and were flavorful. It's a walk in and find your own spot type of diner. Not a huge restaurant, but they were doing a brisk business. Service was very friendly and we got our food quickly.

    Ham and Cheese Omelette
    Faye I.

    I absolutely love going to simple places like this. It's so hard to find a simple, classic, family run (or appears to be family run) breakfast places nowadays because the trend seems to be the bougie brunch. I like their sign up front that says "elegant dining elsewhere." Very small place. I think the max occupancy is 48. We were able to find seating at the bar top, which is what I prefer. Service was fast and friendly. We ordered the chorizo plate and a ham and cheese omelette, both with hash browns. The chorizo itself tasted phenomenal and so authentic. It tastes great by itself, but even better with one of their hot sauces. Hash browns tasted perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. One of the best breakfast restaurants I've ever gone to.

    Sometime you need a 'old fashioned' breakfast with everything cooked on the grill, simple, and/ or smothered on gravy.., and this is the place to go. Their sign outside states "elegant dining elsewhere. Not a lot of seating ( they have indoors and outdoors) but service is good and quick- they turn tables quickly. Large portions. The kitchen is open and so you can see your food being made for the most part. We had the chicken fried steak and the hungry person special which allowed us to sample several things which was not only a good idea but a tasty one. Did notice a couple things sent back but couldn't tell if it was the wrong order or not prepared correctly- in both instances I noticed them offer a refund for the specific item and in the other situation replace the order in less than 5 min. It was busy with non stop business but service was friendly and attentive. Parking is a bit challenging but side street parking is available.

    Great Bowl of Hector's Chile with Tortilla! So filling. Great outdoor seating. Fun ambiance always. Be ready for great music & singing while you munch.

    Haven't even eaten and wanted to start this off. No nonsense diner. Wonderful Motown music bumping at the right volume, our line cooks speak Spanish (this is after all, Mexico), everyone was smiling, our server sings along with said good tunes, there's a custom salsa available (Hector, the chef's salsa) and vibes were on point. Visibly experienced cooks on the line, big respect. Service is great. Now, I've eaten. Bonkers. Just simply great food that hits all the spots. It's how you remember chicken fried steak. It's how you remember good hash browns. It's how you remember good biscuits and gravy. Nothing bad to say here.

    Because I travel so much. I'm always on the look for a really good breakfast venue, this fit that description. It's a Tucson classic. The food was well prepared hot and delicious. I always like to support a local venue and this is a locally owned family business i think it's been around over for over 40 years . I have been many times, the service was fast and efficient and the food came along quickly. Staff really cared and wanted you to be happy. Even though a lot of people know each other they went out of their way to make sure you felt welcome. They serve breakfast and brunch. I came for breakfast, . One time I had the blueberry pancakes. The other times I had a classical breakfast: Bacon eggs, hash browns and biscuits. Shared a cinnamon role which was fantastic, they were accommodating to my requests for crisp hash browns and bacon. I also have a problem with beans and they were willing to sub them out and add meat in a breakfast burritos. It's a great fun place but it does get crowded which speaks to its food but they do a good job of trying to serve people the best way they can. I will be back this winter to enjoy the food and wonderful staff.

    When we first walked in we were greeted with a smile and an almost immediate cup of coffee! Everyone was dancing, singing, and slinging eggs and hash browns like an beautifully chaotic ballet. The inside of the restaurant is homey and charming and the food is delicious. My omelette was yummy, the huevos rancheros were amazing with the homemade beans and salsa, and the breakfast sandwich was a new hit at our table. My dad, boyfriend and I loved our time and breakfast together this morning at Frank's! We will be back.

    What an experience! Tight space but they move efficiently with little to no waiting. All of our food was clean and cooked well. Both my husband and I felt that the flavors, however, were very bland with no seasoning. Add a bunch of salt and pepper and you're good. Best item was the French toast, with a great chew and flavor.

    Stopped by Frank's Restaurant in Tucson for breakfast while visiting for the weekend--and I'm so glad we did! The food was delicious, the OJ tasted fresh-squeezed, and my whole bill was only $21. Great service, amazing value, and tasty comfort food--definitely worth a stop if you're in town!

    Pancakes & buttered white toast.

    My partner recommended eating here because he visited many times, and claimed it to have the "Best Breakfast in Tuscon." Those are some pretty strong words, so I couldn't refuse the to experience this great place myself. Honestly, it was enjoyable to from start to finish. But speaking as a critic, I would warn potential guests that this place is so popular that it was fully packed by 10 in the morning on a Friday in March. That means even if you schedule a visit on a day where you are positive it won't be crowded, more than likely you'll be wrong. My partner & I waited five minutes to be seated in a tight dining area with your chairs close to the other guests. The kitchen area is clearly visible when you enter, and you can hear the searing of the food. We were seated in the very back and it was still loud. The rowdy noises coupled with the close proximity to customers could make a guest overstimulated and uncomfortable. Customer service is at my top priority when I rate though, so this place still gets high remarks for how the staff treated us. They kept a cool head through the chaos, and gave us exactly the order we wanted. With so many people, I feared it wouldn't come out right. But they served what I ordered, which was scrambled eggs & bacon with a side of hash browns and white, buttered toast (Tip: Try the grape jelly with the toast. It's delicious!). Everything was perfectly done, and I ate it all right up. I can see why my partner named it the best food in town. It was fantastic, but with such a heavy crowd, I hope they're able to expand their business so it won't feel so claustrophobic. Great work overall, and I'll order from here again!

    Pancakes! Happiness!

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.

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.
