Guacamole & salsa duo
Erick D.

Good food with an excellent bar selection. They had a lot of obscure whiskey. The food was good, but I found it odd they didn't have a paper lining for their chips. How do they keep the baskets clean? The service was good, seemed like a team effort.

Cameron's de Tacos,  Rice and Beans

Nana's Kitchen is coming up on 16 years on Tucson's northwest side. My husband and I have been frequenting this establishment since day 1. The atmosphere upon entering feels like home. Matco and Javier, the owners, are on hand to greet you with a smile, hug, and friendly conversation. Nana often comes out of the kitchen to say, "Hello." The service is spot on, and the food is delicious and authentic. We've tried everything on the menu, which is extensive. The bar is well stocked and manned by Marco. From whiskey tasting, award winning margaritas, great food, entertainment to just awesome owners, this small business can't be beat!

Best Ranch water

This was an awesome place. The staff was welcoming and service was good. The food was delicious. And their spicy salsa delivered flavor and spice.

Tried a new tequila

Really enjoyed having some good food and the atmosphere. Not only do they make good margaritas but they have a good bourbon selection. In addition, they provide great service!

Shredded beef tacos

Stopped in here for a late lunch. We were in the mood for tacos and unfortunately this place didn't really hit the spot. I thought the prices were quite high for what you got. I ordered the shrimp tacos and they were just ok and were quite small.

Complimentary chips and salsa
Steve V.

I wish that I could remember the name of the burro that I couldn't pronounce. The beef was unlike anything I'd had before. Very well seasoned, a healthy portion with rice and beans. The salsa was spicy, yet balanced with other flavors that didn't distract from the burro. Hand made tortilla chips and salsa are always a welcome sight at a sit down restaurant. The owner and her son very very kind and it was apparent that they love sharing their delicious food with everyone. I'll definitely be back!

The set-up: side of refried beans with spicy salsa to go with my house margarita.

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.
