    Grilled shrimp tacos
    Chelsea J.

    Updating my review because I have yet to find a better quesabirria taco in Tucson. I had them at an event and went to the restaurant to see if they made them the same way as at the event, and they sure do. The tortilla is covered with the consommé and perfectly crispy, they're loaded with meat and just the right amount of cheese. I could eat a plate of these tacos weekly. Service was great, and our food came out quickly.

    Queso fundito
    Beth B.

    It's been a year and this place is still great. The service is tops. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is clean and bright.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food amazing. Did the queso fundito and split the Nashville sandwich. No regrets

    Food was Meh, it filled a void & service was the same. No need to teturn as there are many other options to try

    Chile lime dry rub wings
    Melissa K.

    Absolutely delicious! We shared the elote nachos with birria. Portion was huge and flavors were on 1000. We also tried their wings. I had the chile lime dry rub and loved it and my boy friend had the honey soy ginger which were pretty good as well (I wished more ginger came through!) service was great and friendly. The server saved us from ordering a burger as well I also had the margarita on happy hour which was yummy but it was Monday and they also had martini specials. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance was modern and had great vibes. Not a huge place but they also had a nice patio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will have to be back to try more!

    Walking into Redbird.

    Food was excellent! Had Birria tacos, and they were delicious! House margarita also exceptional! Service was fast and friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place is clean and has relaxed atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend for great food and drinks!

    Jerk wings
    Elizabeth O.

    Came here on a date! It was okay. The layout is cramped and it's loud. The ambiance is confusing and reminds me of a Chili's but cramped and brighter. I initially ordered the loaded wings in the jerk flavor. I tried the jerk sauce before ordering which was great. However on the wings not so much. There were a few issues. 1.) I asked for the wings fried hard. When they came out room temperate, I imagine that they have wings pre-fried hard to keep up with service which is gross. Also the wings are not cooked in the sauce so although the sauce was good...the under-seasoned wings paired with the sauce made for a not so good combination. I sent everything back and went for the Nashville got chicken sandwich which was SPICY but man was it GOOOD. I would definitely order that again. My date got the harvest salad with shrimp which was okay. It has some exciting things in there but the shrimp were essentially popcorn shrimp which I think is inappropriate for a restaurant this expensive. I orders two margarita. The first was perfect but the second was off. Almost as if a blanco was used for the first and mezcal for the second. It needed to be remade. Our server Olivia was very patient and understanding throughout the dining experience. Overall would not recommend. People seem to love this place and based off the recommendations to come here I thought I would have too.

    Mexican Street Corn (Elote) so good!
    Susan C.

    Our experience this time was good but not as fabulous as two years ago. Cocktails are good, the Mexican Street Corn was delicious, and now they encourage getting tortilla chips to eat it either, which was fun. We shared the Quesabirria, good but not nearly as good as last time, not sure what they changed. We also shared the crispy shrimp tacos which were very good. Cute, usually very busy but sometimes you can walk in & get a table. Server was good but in the past we had a couple who were really outstanding.

    Old fashion, seasonal drink & Paloma
    Nicole W.

    Drinks were solid. Food was surprisingly good, I didn't have any expectations. It was a last minute choice for dinner. The elote nachos are not to be missed and I'm not a huge nacho person. Typically, nachos have some toppings and the bottom is all chips, not here. The sauce and toppings went all the way to the bottom, they layer it in. I have never had nachos as good as these, they are the best nachos I have ever had. The corn was super sweet, spicy peppers mixed in and the queso was the creamiest. The amount of effort and dedication to the quality and flavorful toppings and sauces was insane. The Sonoran burger was excellent. Large and juicy patty with creamy cheeses and a spicy chile. The bun was soft and buttery. Overall really good burger. The shrimp tacos were my least favorite, but they were still really really good. The portion was very generous, which isn't normal for shrimp tacos. I was low-key annoyed because the waitress asked my husband if he wanted to add fries to his burger and he did. When the food arrived we realized we had ordered way too much food. The food was really good, so I'm gonna forgive her. There were only three of us and we couldn't even come close to finishing all the food. We brought the nachos back and our family ate them cold and loved them. Portions are massive. The drinks were good, not as good as the food. Their Paloma is a little bit more of their own interpretation, but light and sweet with a spicy tajin rim. The old fashion was my favorite of the group, a very solid drink. I tried a seasonal drink and it was pretty bland. The service was good, maybe too good at upselling. We will definitely be back when in town.

    Classic wings 10ea
    Sheila D.

    Decided to give this place a try since it had such high reviews. It was very busy and loud when we arrived. We were seated quickly and order taken promptly. This place has typical bar food. Nothing special and doesn't help when you never see your waitress other than taking your order and bring the check. We will not be back as the experience and food were not worth the money. Much better options in the area.

    A coworker recommended this place and I'm so glad they did. Stopped in for dinner to this cozy spot. If it was warmer I'd sit on the patio. I ordered the elote nachos added chicken a side of guacamole and the BBQ burger. I split my food with a family member and I was thankful they served the burger cut! The waitress was nice and attentive, food phenomenal. I never knew i was missing these nachos in my life but they were exceptional the flavors are amazing. The nachos although piled high were layered with ingredients throughout which is perfect because the chips at the bottom matter. Every bite was better than the last. Then the burger oh my! Flavorful from the 2 patties, BBQ sauce, tangy pickles it just worked! My only complaint is the guacamole was $5 and the portion was very small. I hope to be back soon when im in town and I'm definitely getting the nachos again.

    Elote Nachos, Crispy Nashville AZ, Mac and cheese
    Karlee A.

    Huge portion of nachos and I think the sandwich was pretty big too. Loved the mac Mac n cheese. Also good drinks!

    Kurt P.

    Wife and I had lunch here the other day. We started with the Elote Nachos (see photo). Jeezus, enough for 4 people and nicely done. I liked the sweetness of the peppers. I was too full after eating way too many nachos, so opted for a small order of the classic wings. The spice level was nice, and they were crispy, the way I like them. The one negative: the blue cheese sauce was way too watery and didn't stick to anything you dipped in it. My wife had the Harvest salad, which she really enjoyed, but after the nachos she couldn't finish it. Service was great - very cheery and upbeat. The interior is pleasant but a little loud - might want to sit outside if you want to carry on a lengthy conversation. The burgers going by our table looked wonderful. Next time!!

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.

The food was creative while maintaining that fabulous fresh, handmade Mexican flavor profile. Absolutely delicious!

We didn't have a reservation (highly recommend getting one for busy times) and were happy to sit where they could fit us. Our server Louie was EXCELLENT. He walked us through the entire menu in 3 minutes and we felt confident ordering. He also suggested an amazing appetizer featuring chilies stuffed with cheese and shrimp and wrapped in bacon . I ordered the Fajitas Mixtas for my main as I wanted to try several meats. Hubby ordered the shrimp enchiladas with both green and red sauce. Both were beautiful and delicious. I also tried the mocktail that had prickly pear puree. It was delicious and refreshing. The menu had options available for folks seeking Gluten Free, too.

The Oracle Street location isn't huge, but the staff does a fantastic job getting folks in and you won't feel cramped.
