    Bean chimichanga
    Mandi G.

    We've been going here for years - hundreds of visits (my kids LOVE the food!) and it's always been consistently yummy, the service has been friendly, the dining area is very clean, and they've never once messed up our order! Definite 5 STARS from us! The rolled tacos with guacamole are great for a light meal or snack. The chimichangas are delicious and very filling (see photo!)

    Bean Tostada and Cheese Enchilada Combo about $10

    OK, simply put... Pacos has the best fast casual Mexican in Tucson! You can drive through or sit inside the small but spotless restaurant. Either way, you're gonna get great cooked to order Mex that is always yummy. Plus, the prices hover around the $10 mark for generous platters. Mexican cokes are also very fairly priced at around $2 a bottle. The only slight negative is the keyed outside restroom but hey, even the restroom is always spotless. Love me some Pacos!!

    Carne Asada

    The food is great, but I don't understand why it looks like the bag was swung around after it's put inside. My wife has uh... sensitivities that caused her to curse, run into and slam the bathroom door shut, and sob when she saw this. I'm really tired of having to console her when we eat here, but she doesn't want me to ever go back anyway. This is the 2nd time in a row this has happened. All I do is take the bag from the gal at the window, put it in the passenger seat, and drive 5 minutes home.

    Breakfast Carne Asada Burritos
    Daniel A.

    I was originally very skeptical because their breakfast burritos cost around 5 dollars but these burritos are absolutely worth that cost! Homemade tortillas with that necessary chewy factor. The burrito was absolutely chock full of flavor including perfectly braised potatoes and chorizo. Coming from San Antonio breakfast tacos, I can say I was still impressed at the taste and size of these burritos. Don't know about the rest of the food but I'll be sure to try out their lunch and dinner options at a later date!

    I love me a good breakfast burrito. A local Tucson resident recommended I check out Paco's so I dropped in to pick up burrito to go. Service was fast, the place was immaculately clean and the servers were friendly. The burrito is very big-you may not need lunch! I ordered one with eggs, potato, beans, bacon and cheese. The tortilla was soft, warm and sturdy keeping things all together nice and neat - just like you want. I was provided two red salsas with my order, they were the consistency of a cholula type sauce-good spice but not overwhelming. I would have desired a bit more flavor from the contents-I hit it with a bit of salt for seasoning and things perked right up. Paco's must have local favorites, the drive-thru was busy while I was waiting for my order to be prepared (and I didn't have to wait very long at all.) Add Paco's to your burrito rotation-I think you'll be glad you did.

I wouldn't say that it is top of the line cooking, but it is very delicious and definitely worth a visit this side of town. Parking can be a little challenging, they do share a parking lot with other businesses, but close in, there are not that many spots. Service is always friendly and makes you feel comfortable. Interesting atmosphere with flamingos galore and other things decorating the inside. Gives it somewhat of a party and fun feel. Food comes out in a timely manner even when they are very busy. Prices are reasonable. Give it a try, I think you'll like it. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

The food is delicious. Also, the plates are enormous, so you'll definitely have some leftovers. If you're near the airport and looking for breakfast, skip Denny's and Waffle House and opt for Sunny Daze. The price point is the same (actually probably better), so you just get way more bang for your buck. Easy choice.

    Teaspoon is one of the best overall restaurants in Tucson…read more I've been here a few times over the last year or so. It has never disappointed in service, quality or taste. (well once in taste, but I'll get to that) They have great in-house made items. Like the Challa bread, the preserves, their pesto. They most certainly know what they're doing. I had unseasoned filet mignon once, I believe it was the omelette. I talked to the manager. Now I wasnt upset, didn't send it back, I just told them what I experienced and mused that I found it odd the cook forgot a simple thing like salt. The manager acknowledged my complaint and that was all; or at least I was fine. Nope, she came back with a to-go box of croissants topped with cream and berries as an apology. They were tremendous by the way. She didn't have to do that. The ambiance is it's only weak point, but even that is minor. Simple black is fine. It's modern feeling and doesn't stand out loudly. They have outdoor seating, which early in the morning is fine, but id avoid in the summer, which will likely mean you'll be waiting, depending on the time. Oh! I forgot to mention, they have very good drinks. They really are intentional about the blend of flavors, they have a little something for everyone. All in all, I cannot recommend this place enough. It's been a shining star amongst Tucson restaurants and I am grateful they exist. Even to how they organize their menu partly by flavor profiles shows they genuinely LOVE food. I love food too, and I love here. Try this place. Today.

As a whole, I feel like the side pairing of challah toast with jam and butter is an odd choice. I also ordered the iced Thai tea, which was quite weak. Overall--I wasn't really feeling it. When you go to Teaspoon, you're really paying for ambience over quality. There's no issue with the service here, from hosts to wait staff. The food is simply underwhelming, and thus so is the experience. I wouldn't be mad to return, but I don't know if this would ever be my suggestion.

The brisket was delicious, the sourdough was top tier, and the tomatoes, spinach, and gyure cheese all worked so well together with the sausage gravy on top...I was in heaven. It came topped with two perfectly poached eggs and the side potatoes were tremendous. Perfectly crispy on the outside and nice and starchy on the inside. We also got the Chilaquiles Verde and I was super impressed. The pork was incredibly moist and again they absolutely nailed the poached eggs. The green chile sauce had great flavor without being overly spicy, which I appreciated because I like flavor but not too much heat first thing in the morning. The tortilla strips stayed crispy the whole time and it came with a side of mixed fruit, which is always a winner in my book. Of course I couldn't pass up dessert. We tried the lemon blueberry lavender olive oil cake, which is gluten free. It was pretty crumbly (maybe due to being gf?) and I'm probably still 50/50 on lavender as a flavor, but overall it was pretty good. The coconut cream pie was the real standout for me though. Super creamy with great coconut flavor and the slice was huge! Our waiter did a pretty good job and even though the patio was fairly busy, it stayed comfortable because everything was shaded. There were a few flies hanging around, but that is kind of the tradeoff for sitting outside. The interior dining room looked really cute too, so maybe next time I'll try sitting inside. Overall, I liked it and there's a few more things on the menu I want to try so I'll definitely be back. It was a great little brunch spot.
