A new week another first time visit. This week we visit Tucson Chix located at Grant and Craycroft…read morein the former Burger King location. Upon entering it almost has a barn like feel to it. High vaulted ceilings, raw wood trim, concrete floors. Overall well kept up, not dirty. They have a variety of chicken sandwiches on the menu along with bone in, boneless and chicken strips. A big plus is having cheese curds. They have a self order kiosk as well as walk up register. I went with a "Wildcat" and a "Asiago Parmesan" chicken sandwich, an order of cheese curds and a black unsweetened tea. My son ordered the "Sonoran" chicken sandwich. Let's start with the cheese curds, these are the real deal, white cheddar cheese of all shapes and sizes fried to a perfect golden brown. They pop when you eat them! Best I've had in Tucson! Now for the chicken sandwiches. Man I've driven by this place 100's of times. Why did I wait so long to stop in? The "Wildcat" Juicy perfectly golden fried chicken strips with lettuce, tomato, purple onion, chipotle mayo on a soft sweet delicious brioche bun. The "Asiago Parmesan " again first bite and the juices flowed. Parmesan chips top this delicious sandwich along with lettuce and delicious sauce. The freshness of ALL ingredients is absolutely on par. I am going to just say it, as a lifetime Tucsonian, I have never no do I think I will, find a better chicken sandwich in this town. So far, absolutely hands down the best fast food in this town. I will for sure be back. A+++ Happy eating all!

Stopped by here on driving home from Roadies…read more We got it to go which is about a 20-25 minute drive. It took a bit waiting in the drive thru for our food but to me that just means they fried it fresh. Overall the flavoring of everything was good. My husband noted the teriyaki chicken wings were drowned in sauce and was too much for him but I enjoyed them. The el picante is actually spicy. It's a slow burn, you don't get hit with how spicy it is until a few moments after you take a bite or bites. There were many other things on the menu we wanted to try but did not want to over fill on food. We will be back. I would recommend this place.

She offered to allow me to try the foods that we didn't enjoy over. I took her upon her offer. I tried the al pastor tacos and quesadillas. They were fresh and you can tell that the meat was marinated well. I also had a Sonoran dog which was amazing. Everything was delicious. I love supporting local businesses and would definitely recommend going to tell. And they have new desserts that I will come back and try. Ambiance was clean and inviting.

Tried Carne Asada and Pollo both yummy and they come with a small bean taco, that has a smattering of refrieds almost hard to taste bc it's pretty thin but appreciated. At $9.95 they are not nearly as filling as a burrito so it could be an expensive visit to fill up. They are quite cheesy, next time I'd ask for less so the smoky meat shines further. Wish they had whole beans to round out the plate, refrieds only. Didn't try the rice. Salsa Bar is awesome with pickled red onions and Ladles are labeled so you know whatcha pouring haha. Glad to have tried The Qs finally!

I live 10 minutes from this location and haven't been in 5 years. I quit going because the service…read morewas so incredibly slow you could sit in the drive thru line for 10-15 minutes with one other car. Went today and glad I did. The service was very fast, food was fresh, seasoned fries were fantastic and the window cashier (Michael) served us with a smile, which had never previously happened. Huge turnaround and will certainly return.

Husband was hungry so we made a first-time stop at a Lotaburger. He ordered and paid $11.89 for a…read more"New Mexico Style" double LOTA Burger plus .50 extra for cheese. I checked the online menu when we got home and what he actually got was a regular LOTA Burger which is priced at $7.99. It came with a generous amount of dark green lettuce, two quarter inch thick slices of tomato, a large quarter inch thick slice of onion, an overly generous amount of mustard oozing out of the sadwich, and the pickle and cheese were missing. There was not a lota burger as the patty was thinner than the onion and tasteless. This was served on an overly dried out burger roll. His French fries were at least better than McDonalds' fries. The counter employee was curt with never a smile..

I chose the Alfredo Chicken Penne and my husband tried the Pasta Marinara bake. We were both pleased! We will definitely eat here again!

They accepted an online order at 3:45pm and said it would be ready in 20 minutes. We showed up at…read more4pm to pick it up, but there was no one there and there was a sign saying that they weren't open until 4:45pm. When we tried to call, a computer said the number wasn't available. I guess I'm going to have to dispute the charges with my credit card company. Really disappointed.

I ordered the Tejano burrito in the drive through this morning. BIG mistake. The menu describes…read morethe burrito as "Red chile chicken with cheese, potatoes and sour cream" yum right? Yeah, no. For 11+ dollars I got this... the potatoes were recooked french fries, chewy so you know they weren't fresh. It was breakfast time, why not give me the breakfast potatoes? The entire bottom of the burrito was a solid piece of chicken, DRY chicken and the sour cream was a glob right in the middle, nowhere else. For 11+ dollars, they need to do better.

Was looking to get my burrito fix on when in town for an appointment, did a search for 'best…read moreburrito near me' and this place came up. I shot through the drive in and ordered 3 burritos to take home (but not just for myself!) I did the Bean, Surf/Turf and the Tejano. Now, I will say the drive through seemed to take awhile (over 10 minutes) when I got up to the window but if they are making stuff fresh, I have zero problem waiting. The young man at the window was apologetic so who knows if this is the norm or was an anomoly. I got home and my husband and I busted into the burritos. I did half the bean and half the Tejano. He scarfed the Surf/Turf. These burritos are everything and more, along with the tasty and spicy red/green salsas that came with. That Tejano burrito is a perfect combo of flavor with the red chile/chix together and as someone who normally is bean/cheese all day - I would 100% order the Tejano again. 5 star burritos right here.

This past weekend, we found ourselves on a quest to find casual and tasty foods to serve at our…read moreSuper bowl gathering. As we began to look,(basically, we just did a google search) , Wings and Rice showed up on our, "food radar" . After noting the high number of 5-star ratings that were consistently being given to WINGS & RICE by my fellow Tucsonians, my wife asked if I would stop by and grab some wings to bring home to share with our honored guests. Upon arriving home, the wings were quickly decimated by our guests. The fact that they were gobbled up so fast and raved about, is probably the best and most-honest evidence that the numerous five-stars ratings given to WINGS & RICE are "spot-on" in their assessments. The place is "kind-of unassuming"--as it sits on the south-east corner of Pima and Craycroft in Tucson. Despite the fact that I have passed it numerous times-- wondering about it, and even considered giving it a go, I ultimately have never stopped in. Shame on me, as i we came to really enjoy the food here! This does then beg the question... "How many other hidden gems like this have I been passing by?" But then, in the bigger view of it all, isn't this the primary reason that YELP exists?! I think YELP got its name from the sound a dog makes after being kicked--which is what should have happened to me for passing this place so many times. ( *That origin story is not true--I just made that up for comedic effect.) So anyways, in my humble opinion (*for what that is worth), the place is the culinary equivalent of Duncan the Tall--a simple, but honorable hedge-knight in the HBO series, "A Knight of the 7 Kingdoms." (It's not my place to recommend TV shows here, but this one is a good 'un). And, if you are thinking that my saying this restaurant is like a lowly knight roaming the country-side seeking justice and honor is a criticism against W&R, you are so-so-so wrong! My comparison is intended as a compliment in the highest of regards. For, like Dunk, this place embodies the true ideals of what it means to serve. WINGS & RICE does not adorn itself with fancy-pantsy decorations and art. Instead, it strives to modestly, and without "pomp and circumstance" follow the noble ideals of serving up high quality and tasty chow (at reasonable prices) to the tired, huddled masses--yearning to breath free and fill their bellies. So, my lords and me ladies, pray, allow me to express my final thoughts on the matter of sustenance and refined beverages that can be had-ith at WINGS and RICE... If one be-ith in the moodith for-ith some tastely victuals, this be-ith the place. I probably just lost all shreds of any "street cred" that I may have had-- with my, "playing the fool" by comparing the W&R to a character in a show. (*not to mention my attempt to use the language of the middle ages and falling short). Despite all that, don't pass this place up. It really is, "the good stuff". Make yee way, post-haste and full-tilt to-ith WINGS & RICE!!! Anon! Post script. We opted for the buffalo wings and the lemon and pepper wing flavors from their menu. The lemon and pepper offerings went first and were demolished in seconds...but the buffalo flavored ones did not last long either. Our guests nearly came to "unshielded swords" over who would get the last of these tasty morsels of delectable meats. *And, an added bonus was the side of rice, which, while I was waiting for my order to be completed, I over-heard two different patrons rave about. Cah-ching! They were not wrong... "food-ith of the gods" were those starchy seasoned soft and sticky white grains of heaven--bathing in spicy buttery flavor!

Much better than outposts we tried of the two big national chains and seemingly the only place on the far east side of town. Feels very non-corporate inside, like a neighborhood place. Staff friendly, helpful. Great deal on dark meat - thighs and legs. Fried as you wait, not off a warming table. Very good crispy coating, still had some crisp the following day on room temp chicken. Fries good. Livers pretty good but not as good as livers prepared with a reduction of aged balsamic. Gizzards just not my thing, keep them for soup. We'll be back.

My mom had the chocolate eclair cake and I, the chocolate cake. Everything delicious- and yes dogs shared her fries! The cakes?
