    Sonoran Burger
    Victoria M.

    American Eat Co is literally one if the best spots in Tucson! GM kitchen is one of a kind, so many wonderful items in the menu. The gentleman who helped me was so kind and helpful, they are very in order and clean. I ordered the Sonora burger OMG OMG ABSOLUTE PARTY IN YOUR MOUTH with so many flavors. I couldn't decide on sweet potato fries or regular, He suggested that I get half-and-half was such a great suggestion because they were both absolutely delicious and highly recommend this place if you're in Tucson for sure he will be.

    I stopped in on a Saturday early evening for some grub to go and ordered the mini 86 burger and fries. I was thrilled they offered a smaller version hamburger for $12 and it fully delivered on taste and quality. Fries were fresh and tasty as well. Highly recommend this spot!

    Baja fish tacos

    The restaurant is one of many housed inside American Eat Co. It was during lunch hour so parking was limited but it wasn't so loud that I couldn't hear my friend talking. A nice location for a quick lunch date. GM Kitchen 86 has a variety of food options including burgers, tacos, and sandwiches. I tried the Baja Fish Tacos which came with three beer battered soft tacos. The food was fresh and delicious. It was easy to order and the service was quick.

    This place is awesome. Got the double 86 burger, 2 different sides of fries, and an elote. Everything was prepared and tasted excellent. Glad to see another amazing business is in American Eat Co. I appreciate the food court offering. I'd guess it's more affordable than trying to start a brick and mortar restaurant. The service was slow for counter service but it wasn't bad. The order person was very friendly and accommodating. Definitely ear here if you can.

    El Gaucho Sandwich
    Brinny S.

    The El Gaucho came highly recommended to me, so I was excited to give it a try. It was pretty good, but not all that spicy like the menu claimed. I couldn't decide on which fries I wanted, so they let me try half regular and half sweet potato. They both were nice and crispy. It ended up being a lot of fries, so overall it was a lot of food. It was a solid meal, and I wouldn't mind ordering it again.

    Yummy! Staff was helpful with the menu and I was able to place my order with Ease. I had the gourmet burger with sweet potato fries and it was delicious! The aioli mayo was a bit spicy and complemented the burger well. A lot of different options on the menu and I look forward to come back and trying something different.

    At last, my Father's Day ended in great fashion. I had been wanting to try their Burger for a while and yesterday my daughter made it happen. It was OUTSTANDING. It moves into maybe my top 5 in Tucson. Bacon Cheeseburger no onions is my go-to. Classic is all you need. All I need to be in my happy place. The photo shows the Love I have. This spot in American Eats should have a line for anyone that like a burger in a fun vibrant upbeat setting. It was cooked and Made 100% as I asked. Great job GM86

    American Eat Co. has soo many options, it's truly difficult to decide what to eat! This week, I chose GM Kitchen and originally wanted the Cuban sandwich, but instead switched to the Gaucho sandwich. I ordered fries with it & asked that the bread not be too crispy. The fries were good, and had a slight crunch. The sandwich was also pretty good. One bite and despite the condiments on it, you get the strong taste of sausage. This isn't bad if you like sausage, and I do. But I will say the taste of sausage overwhelmed anything else on the sandwich. Again, just an observation, as the sandwich was good. Staff was friendly and helpful as well.

    Interesting and terrific options especially in a food court. We got the chicken bahn mi and a cubano both with side salads. Both were excellent and the salad was amazing. I would get the salad by itself it was that good. The Gaucho was a tad dry but I think there just wasn't enough sauce and they weren't kidding about it being hot with the spicy sausage! We also got a side of fried cauliflower which was also tasty. The food did take a little bit of time to come out, but I don't really consider this "fast" food and it was worth the wait.

    This place was awesome!!! The ambiance was amazing and it made me think like I was in a high class food court. There are what I believe to be 7 different restaurants here with each one adding some diversity to the experience. If you feel like having a slice of pizza with a Korean sandwich and some shrimp ceviche, then you can do that here. The food was amazing. My wife and I ordered from Monster and the quality of the food was out of this world. The service was excellent too and you can tell that each restaurant was well organized with how they delivered the food. If I'm ever in Tucson again, then I would definitely come back here. Only reason why I'm not giving it a five is because I haven't try all of the food from each restaurant yet.

    Stopped in for a quick snack and got the deep Fried Cauliflower which had big Parmesan shavings and capers. Very good. Also had a patty melt which was equally delicious. The manager even brought over some churros because the order "took too long". Excellent food and service.

    A plate with sweet potato fries and a sandwich with green peppers is on a table, with drinks, a receipt, and napkins nearby.

    Very delicious and well served portions. My Bride and I had the Gaucho Hot sandwich with sweet potato fries with a fried Cauliflower appetizer.

It's not going to be the best you ever had in your life, and if you've been to Southern China, you're not going to be blown away. HOWEVER, it is the homemade taste that makes it good. It doesn't feel like any other restaurant, it feels like you are at somebody's house. Here's the thing, I came in expecting the usual Chinese food affair, but I left genuinely surprised and impressed. This restaurants specializes in Southern Chinese food, which is different from other regions. I am so happy this restaurant and its chains helps the cuisine gain exposure and adds depth to Chinese food in general. Even better, the menu is laid out in a way that it is easy to understand: gluten-free options, allergies, and spice level. The service was great. All though it isn't a "full" sit-down restaurant, everybody there seemed to know the menu well and was happy to be there. As a Cantonese person, it was nice hearing my language being spoken in the kitchen. The restaurant itself was immaculately clean and very modern. We came during early dinner time so the parking lot was near empty and easy to park. Overall, if you've never had Southern Chinese food or are looking for something more authentic than classic Chinese takeaway, definitely check out this location. The cherry on top are the big portion sizes and the price.

Gentle Ben's decor is very modern, and definitely looks like it becomes a club after hours.

I am imagining the staff consists primarily of students, but they have always been very attentive. If anything, the staff is 5/5 and the food is 2/5 - round down because I am a realist. Of the times I have been invited here, I tend to order the tacos. Again, they are fine, and I feel like those are more reasonably portioned than the burgers or handhelds. Something I am also big on that I do not see with the other dishes is enough sauce, and this is not an issue with the tacos. The carnitas tacos in particular have habanero cream and guacamole and side salsa. You will not have to worry about dry food if you order any of the tacos. I would probably like it better if the venue was less crowded. This is not a reflection of being at capacity, but one of arranging tables in such a way that lends itself to being elbowed in the back by patrons at the adjacent table if they are even slightly intoxicated. While I understand the patio seating is likely high value, the experience is of higher value when there is room to breathe when eating dinner.

I've been here at least 100 times and usually get the exact same thing: a plain Jane on white with turkey, mayo, provolone, avocado, and lettuce with kettle chips as the side. I also get a cannoli when they still have some. The food is always amazing! It is single-handedly the best bread and sandwich I've had anywhere and I get it every time I visit Tucson now that I've moved. The bread is so good that buy a large loaf and take it home with me to make sandwiches with. The people who work here are super sweet and friendly. They work quickly even when they're completely packed. I've never once had a problem with my order being incorrect or how I've been treated there. It has only ever been a positive experience. The restaurant itself is lovely. There is a good amount of seating but sometimes you do have to troll for a seat when it's really busy. The space is clean and easy to move around. The bathrooms are also clean and are kept well-stocked. The parking in the shopping center is difficult but that's because both Beyond Bread and Bookmans share the parking lot so there are just a lot of people there in general.
