Russell B.

Love this place! The service here is always so warm and welcoming, and makes me love my visits. The inside has a cool decor, and a nice outside patio that is enclosed. 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.

Turkey patty and eggs was delicious....

Organic ambiance and great food. Staff was friendly and inviting. Food was prepared perfectly and they have plenty of choices. I would definitely make sure I stop every time I'm in Tucson. Don't miss out.

How have I lived here for 18+ and never tried this place I will never know... but today we did while trying to find a place we had never been. We hit them on a Saturday AM and were able to be seated right away. The place is cute inside, with a diner type vibe to it. Everyone was friendly and welcoming with a smidge of edge, so most reviews that talk about service are spot on - I think the service is what really makes this place. We ordered the sunny puffs, which are like little beignets but consistency is different. They are delicious though, like little light powered donuts. I ordered the omelet/biscuit bowl, my husband the huevos rancheros (Mexican version on the menu). Okay so normally he is very judgey and hard core about Huevos Rancheros but here (and I thought for sure he would diss them when I saw the plate) he LOVED them. He went on and on about the sauce, and our server gave him a little container to take home. Mine was fine, solid food.

We had a party of seven and were fortunate that we didn't need to wait long for a table. The service was very good and the food was also very good. The employees seem to be happy and care about the organization and the restaurant itself, although a bit dated, is clean and comfortable. We had a positive experience.

If you want a good breakfast/brunch without Haston wait too long or pay outrageous prices, this is the spot. Service was quick, food was great. I'd definitely come back

Pasole
Lacey G.

I love the old-school diner feel of this restaurant, and I love the flamingo decor all throughout. The service is always fast and friendly and the menu is vast. There is a large range of dishes to choose from that are both traditional breakfast with a mix of Mexican food. It had been years since I had been here, and I recently went again and had an excellent experience. The pasole was absolutely delicious and my skillet was served hot and fresh. This restaurant is also dog friendly for those with doggies they want to take to breakfast. This is definitely a little hidden and I would recommend a stop here!

"Catfish" sandwich
Howard B.

Sunny Daze looked like a fun place to spend some time while we waited for a flight to come in at the airport. We were immediately surprised by the rude treatment from the person that sat us. It was one of those moments where you sit down and ask each other if maybe we should just go someplace else. We decided to shrug it off and ride it out because the food looked good and there were some fun looking choices. My wife had a grilled chicken sandwich and we both had a laugh over the scarcity of chicken; It was mostly bread. I ordered the fried catfish sandwich and it looked really good on the plate but aside from the pleasing visual, the rest of my catfish sandwich experience was a let down. First off, I don't believe for a second that it was actually catfish and second, the fish was not at all fresh. I ate about half of it before I just couldn't handle any more. My wife really enjoyed the French fries and I just thought there were too many of them. Last thing is that our server never came back to check on us or refill our drinks. She just gave us the bill and told us we could pay on the way out. Overall, I would recommend against this place.

Puffs
Kavonni B.

Overall, our experience was pleasant, and I would recommend this restaurant . I did find the flamingo theme really cute. For the food, I personally ordered the Lolo breakfast with French toast. Pretty standard, the portion size is definitely worth your money. My co workers enjoyed their dishes as well. Those little puff treats were delicious. They reminded me of beignets with powdered sugar. Coffee was decent. I forgot our servers name, but she was really sweet and welcoming

Chicken   Fried Steak
Nancy S.

We love finding unique breakfast locations. We received top-notch service in spite of a temporary tech glitch with their ordering/payment method. You have to love the flamingos and beach decor. The servings are huge! I had to try the chicken-fried steaks with 3 eggs, had browns and toast. The hubby tried the eggs and ham with fries. Everything was great. We took a lot of good home. Along with yummy looking cinnamon roll. We were disappointed with that -too much icing and not enough cinnamon! Overall a great stop.

A full order of Sunny Puffs to-go!
Iyana J.

One of Tucsons hidden gems! If your from here then "if you know then you know". Inside it has a tropical theme with super friendly ladies running the show day after day. They are only open till 2pm most days so plan accordingly. Also the pancakes are enormous so be prepared . Enjoy!

We were in Tucson over the weekend and wanted to try some authentic Mexican food. El Charro kept…read morepopping up in our search, and since we love exploring historic places with a story, it seemed like the perfect choice. Located in downtown Tucson, this iconic restaurant is full of character and beautifully decorated. We visited on a Saturday around 1 PM without a reservation and were told there would be a wait since the place was packed. They only have air conditioning in the indoor dining areas and basement, not on the outdoor patio. Luckily, we were seated in the basement, which turned out to be perfect. The service was commendable truly some of the sweetest and most attentive service we've experienced in a long time. We started with freshly made chips and salsa, which were an instant hit. For drinks, we ordered the El Tamarindo, Mangopeno, and Monica's Cafetini. For food, we chose the Vegan Jackfruit Taquitos Trio and the Fresh Corn Tamale Platter, which came with a side of squash. The drinks were excellent, with the Mangopeno being my favorite. But the real star of the meal was the tamale platter. Oh my goodness it was absolutely delicious! Everyone at the table kept digging in and couldn't get enough. Even the squash side was so flavorful that we ordered an extra serving. The vegan jackfruit taquitos were a bit too deep-fried for our liking and didn't quite compare to the incredible tamales. To finish, we shared a caramel flan, which was the perfect sweet ending to the meal. The pricing was very reasonable, the service was exceptional, and the food was memorable. We will definitely be back again if only for those amazing tamales!

Everything was good except the food. Good service and ambience; the place was also super crowded…read more Prickly pear margarita was above average I'd say. Chips were solid, although the salsa was pretty bad. Not sure if this is baseline or I got a bad batch but it was close to inedible. It tasted like spicy ketchup. For my entree, I had a beef burrito and it was also underwhelming. Meat was very dry and bland. Beans and guacamole were fine but did not salvage the meal overall. Oh also you have to pay for parking. Lot is $9 for the day and street parking was $2.50 for 2 hours which wasn't bad.

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.

The restaurant was packed and it was the holidays so it was understandable. We were told to wait at the back of the restaurant which we did. We waited for over an hour and then were told our table was ready, so we got up and followed. Then someone else came up and they both started whispering and then told us that we would not be seated after all. We asked what had happened (was the kitchen too busy?) but were not told anything other than "she told us not to seat you". The secretive whispering made it a very confusing situation. We sat back down and waited some more. Eventually we got seated, but then the food took another hour to come after we ordered. We asked a few times for water refills but eventually gave up when it didn't come. The plus side - the FOOD. The mole sauce was really good, best I've had! The chicken mole was my favorite dish but the beef with chile was also spectacular. Both corn and flour tortillas were so good here. It was really delicious and I would come back for the food, but not for the service.

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.
