Visiting Tucson and needed a good, quick lunch option near the University and found a good one…read more Found it on Google and the vegan options caught my attention. Ironically enough, that's not what I went with, but great know they had a variety of veggie dogs and lettuce wraps for those who want gluten free sandwich options. I went with basic but really good hot dogs. I believe they were called "Reggie Dogs". The place definitely had a really cool locals vibe and the employees behind the counter were great. I got my food within five minutes of ordering it. If you're looking for a good deli in this area, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I had lunch here with three friends yesterday. It's tiny and has no restroom, so I had to cross the…read morestreet to use the Food Conspiracy restroom. Seating is very limited, but we did get a high-top table with four seats. There is counter service only. As for the food, I got one of the daily specials, a hot meatball sub with a pickle spear, a bag of chips and a can of cream soda ($13.50 for the lot). I liked my sandwich. One of my friends got the hot pastrami sandwich and was not impressed. The menu consists mostly of sandwiches and hot dogs with toppings; they have vegetarian and vegan options. They add a 2.5% surcharge if you pay by credit card.

We asked if they could bring it over next door to the Broadway, and they happily said yes , plus, they gave us a 10% discount! Great service, tasty sandwiches, and such a nice experience overall.

Creative sandwich concepts and pretty quality ingredients. I love that I can choose from 3…read moredifferent types of breads. The garlic sauce is also very good. However, I have to give 3 stars for the overall execution of my meal. I had a half of a Hammer sandwich which was about $8. It's ham, soppressata, cheese, lettuce, tomato, banana peppers, dijon, vinegar, oil, garlic sauce. Unfortunately, I felt that my sandwich came with skimpy toppings. I got a pretty thinly stacked layer of ham and 2 little ovals of soppressata. The cheese was barely present. I also would have loved more tomato. I got a good amount of lettuce and banana peppers, though! Unfortunately, I just couldn't taste the meat and cheese toppings super well due to their being not much of them on the sandwich. The flavor of all the other ingredients were good, though. My friend got the Scramwich on Foccacia for $14. Looking at it, I could also tell it had not much proscuitto. Upon further inspection opening one of the halves of the sandwich... it was definitely only a few little smaller pieces of proscuitto. (The other toppings were on the other piece of bread, don't worry, those were fine) Sorry for the ugly photo - hard to really capture it without dissecting the thing. I also just noticed while looking at the photo again that one of the pieces of arugula also had black spots on it... Definitely not very fresh. My friend still enjoyed the foccacia, sundried tomatoes, and other toppings, but also felt there wasn't enough proscuitto. For the price, I would hope for a sufficient amount of meat. Heard a lot of hype about Quisty's and I see great potential in their quality and concepts! With better execution I'd definitely consider coming back. It's just hard to justify paying as much as we did for sandwiches that were skimpy on arguably one of the most important toppings!

We chose this place as we were passing through Tucson at lunchtime between different morning and…read moreafternoon venues. This place is located in an artsy / entertainment district close to downtown. When we went, there was road construction nearby that made getting here more challenging. Once we located it, the next challenge was parking. We visited around noon on a Saturday. There are no large parking lots, so you have to find something on-street. We ventured a couple of blocks off the main street and found something. However, the signage wasn't really clear on whether you had to pay on weekends or not. We accessed the parking app via a QR code, but it told us that our space 'was not available', despite the fact that we were in the space. A guy leaving the space next to us confirmed that parking *was* free on weekends, so we trusted that and walked to the restaurant. In retrospect, I think the app meant that we did not need to pay, but 'not available' seems a bit vague for that... The restaurant is located on a strip of old storefronts that now house restaurants, record shops, etc. There was a lot of pedestrian traffic out front, including a homeless guy asking for change. The atmosphere was sort of a loud, slightly cramped dive bar. I don't mean that in a bad way, but that was the vibe. The music was loud - none of it was familiar but I didn't hate it. I guess my point is that if you are looking for a quiet spot for lunch, this is probably not it. We initially were offered a table on their covered patio. We left one person there while sorting out parking, but when we came back they had a booth inside so we grabbed that instead. The patio seemed shaded and semi-comfortable, other than a loud barking dog. We browsed the menus and ordered our food. We all got half-and-half combos (soup/salad or sandwich/soup). The only issue was that the soups came in a bread bowl. I was able to finish my soup, but felt bad about not eating more of the bowl. If I'd had the option, I would have gotten a plastic bowl. The salad was pretty big, despite being only half. I finished most of it. We ended up having sufficient leftovers from others such that we took them back to our hotel (a relatively short drive) and finished them the next evening. All the food was tasty. This wasn't what I was expecting, but I'd consider eating here again given the right circumstances / group.

Went here with zero expectations Was so pleasantly…read moresurprised! When first entering it's a very small booths and bar but if you continue down the hall past the bathrooms they have a big open outside/indoor patio seating area! Great if you have kids or pets with you So the food. Honestly some of the best sandwiches I've ever had Their combo with the bread bowl and half a sandwich is hard to beat to be honest. A little bit of both worlds there I recommend eating the bread bowl first because it's more filling that you think and you can take the sandwich home They have a wide range of options for everyone And even offer a picky kid friendly sandwiches like PB & J, might sound boring or normal but that was the best PB & J I've ever had The staff is very nice and helpful They run the bar also and will bounce between the bar and your table So if the bar is busy I'm sure it could take a bit for you to order at your table Great food Great environment And friendly people Highly recommended!

They…read morehave a nice spacious outdoor spot just outside their entrance and also a decent amount of seating inside, and maybe 7-8 seats at the bar area which sports some nice and big TVs for the sports people. Overall decor was nice, tall ceiling and lots of space. Menu is pretty well sized, as there's options for a little bit of something for everybody. I'm sure we've all been to places similar to this. The Monica is a bit nicer than some of those other ones I've been to. The way ordering is done here is at the counter after you walk in through the main door, just go straight to the counter to order. Staff here were nice, no issues there. We got a couple of things to eat today. I myself got the beef steak sandwich, which came with fries, and an au jus like sauce. It was good. Decently sized portions for the sandwich and also the fries. Not really sure what the faux au jus sauce was, but it was just okay. But the NY steak strips were tender, and good. Definitely a philly cheesesteak ish type feel to this sandwich. Final verdict; The Monica is a jack of all trades kind of a restaurant which I'm sure we've all had in our own areas. The Monica is probably a bit nicer than the ones I have had around me, but I wouldn't exactly call it fancy. Certainly a nice spot to relax, drink, and just be simple dine and perhaps a drink. I would come back if I'm ever back in the area.

The outdoor seating is pretty with cool lighting and inside feels naturally open and bright. Food- Pizza slices were over very good. We got the special shiitake mushroom slice and sausage and mushroom. Shiitake slice was ok- I would have preferred more sauce. The sausage and mushroom slice was more to my liking. It was cooked nicely with a crunchy bottom , good flop and melted cheese. Beef pistachio salad was tasty and well balanced. Overall fresh ingredient. Dressing was a little oily but overall delicious. We also got a plate that reminded me of a charcuterie like dish. The butter and bread were delicious. The meat and cheese were tasty but I think I could have used more cheese. Overall not bad but not very memorable. Service was friendly and nice.
