Margaritas
Kim M.

With a deep menu of lots of authentic Mexican favorites, we were excited to try Taco Giro. Tucked into a strip mall, the restaurant is fairly large and there were only two other tables and some people sitting at the bar at 5p on a Sunday evening. We were seated promptly by a friendly server and ordered a house and a Cadillac margarita. The drinks were large, but very sweet and not very strong at all. They offered chips and salsa which were good, and the rest of our meal was good, but unremarkable. Service was a little slow and not terribly responsive, but since this is close to home we will definitely give Taco Giro another shot!

Delicious Chicken fajitas!

Taco Giro is one of my favorite Mexican restaurant in Tucson. Stop by and enjoy a drink and delicious authentic Mexican food . Don't forget to ask about the weekly menu specials.

Grilled Fish plate

Very good experience at Taco Grio today for an early dinner. Food was fresh and hot. Had the Shrimp Enchiladas and my friend had the grilled fish! Both tasted outstanding. Service was fast and friendly. Think they've gotten into their grove with the food and service. Looking forward to my next visit soon!

Nice, new, fresh, clean interior. A welcome addition to this shopping center. Dined here just once but will definitely be back. They have daily deals--I went on a Wednesday and got the enchiladas special for $6.99. Hard to beat, especially since it was quite a large serving. Service was friendly and I liked the chips and salsa they offer. Looking forward to trying other dishes.

Flan dessert was so good !!

Everything went well. Excellent service, excellent food and ambience. We were 7 ladies celebrating 3 of our October birthdays. Abby was our server and she was excellent. Food was served so quickly and it was so good. Margaritas are excellent as well. You won't be disappointed if you go there.

This is newly opened in our area. We were curious, we have seen the menu online and everything looked good, so we tried... Everyone is welcoming, as soon as we sat down staff had given us the menus and chips and salsa. Then someone came to our table to ask what we want to drink. Way too fast for me, cause I haven't looked into the menu yet! I found it really funny cause I asked our server a question about an entree on the menu and she responded, I don't know, that made me second guess her ability as our server...I wonder how they hire and train their employees?? Don't get me wrong but their food is okay, and they give a pretty good portion. A little pricey and they charge a fee if you use your credit card. Inside is still clean and new. Not too cramped with tables and chairs. They really have a big menu, and it makes it hard to decide. This could be a good place to earn and dine and also good for take aways.

I've read so many crazy reviews about this place, so we had to try it out. The avocado omelette I had was pretty good, I think enjoyed it. The portion was decent, I I took half of it home. The chorizo omelet wasn't bad either, it wasn't spicy enough for my husband but good enough for me cause I don't like spicy food. I would like to go back and try other things on the menu. Most of the reviews were about service and it's true, the servers were not as friendly as we would want them to me. At least they should introduce themselves!?! After a while they started to be a little friendlier, I think maybe they have angry patrons??? It's kind of not really what I expected when I look at the menu prices and the esthetics of the restaurant - It may be a little pricey, but I'm willing to give it another try.

Great seafood! The drinks are fun and very pretty and put together. The seafood tower I've always wanted to try. Definitely enough food for two days. We have great service experience but sat at the bar and went during the week. No issues at all!

Molcajete Mixto (shrimp, chicken, and beef)
Lisa B.

First time coming here and overall it was pretty good. The menu is very extensive (sorry I didn't take photos of it, I'll do it next time). We sat at the bar and got served right away. We had a few beers on tap and shared the Molcajete Mixto, which was HUGE! So, I'm glad we shared. This is a fun variation of fajitas. This place would be good for a larger group and the table should order a bunch of different plates and drinks to share. Overall, we enjoyed it, not the best Mexican food in town, but still pretty good and crazy fun drinks!

I rolled up at 530 in a Thursday evening and was greeted by a great entertainer on the patio strumming live music. Food is great - thick, golden corn tortilla chips and deep, smoky salsa, tacos dorados and a fantastic spicy margarita made with fresh lime juice! The tacos were juicy and plated beautifully with lettuce, onions, avocado and crema. The beans and rice, which are usually an after thought were well seasoned and delicious! The service was friendly and fast - Eva was so sweet and accommodating! I will be back AND bring friends!

Thoughts on the dishes we tried: - Guacamole and chips: pretty good but not standout - the next time we came back, we just stuck to the chips and salsa which were tasty and filling - Ribeye: great for sharing for 2 people; the char on the meat is delicious and the dish comes with a cheese quesadilla, grilled onions, rice, and refried beans. We ended up with leftovers to take home. - Enchiladas: choose your meat and sauce to top it. I opted for the shredded chicken with green (poblano) sauce. The sauce packs a hint of spice but is a bit creamy too, and the enchiladas are packed with meat and are filling. - Quesadilla: similar to enchiladas, choose your meat or cheese only. My husband ordered the carne asada which was marinated well and flavorful. The quesadilla had good meat to cheese ratio and comes with sour cream and guacamole. Both times we left with happy and full bellies as well as leftovers. Good meals overall!

I'm happy to have finally gotten a chance to visit Unicorn Zebra since it's been on my list from…read morethe time they opened. It's a fun and also elegant atmosphere with the zebra theme clearly exemplified across the space. I would have to say this is one of the coziest bars I've been to, the furniture and seating is really supportive of a long-term visit. There are other levels, lower and an upper level besides the main space, but be aware that if there are parties, they can typically take up different areas. Our bartender, Sarah was fantastic! The way that she handled all of the guests and the busy field was incredible, so calm and collected, and furthermore making some really incredible drinks. Heads up that the online drink menu is not the current drink menu, I couldn't remember all the names of our drinks and put those in the photo captions, so when I checked on the website, the menu was showing something different other than what I saw at the bar. Out of several places I've been to, I'd say the mixture of flavors and details in the drinks are quite unique. I'll be back for more one day

It remains a favorite, alas no more a secret. We were hankering for a spontaneous post-ATC-theater…read moredrink and this venue popped back into my head. Same charms, different bartender, and new summer (May) craft cocktails that have become quite substantial (see pic of double-sided menu). Though we arrived at 4:10 (right after their usual 4p opening) on a Saturday, no happy hour, but we were first patrons and grabbed the big bay window. We are both on a mezcal discovery kick and ordered the Black Cathedral ($16) and the Girl Dinner ($16). Each was as described (pic) and delicious. We had dinner plans and needed to leave at 5:15 - just as things were picking up. We'll definitely be back sooner.

She was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind, and she made our whole experience feel welcoming from start to finish. The hosts were kind too. There was plenty of seating, a dedicated bar, TVs, and nice lighting. The patio has misters, which is perfect for this time of year. They offer booth and table seating, and the tables aren't packed too close together. With party members who have different mobility challenges, the spacing was great and made everything comfortable. The food was delicious. The complimentary bottomless chips and salsa were fresh and generous. If you order the horchata, it comes with free refills too, which is such a nice touch. My husband ordered 2 birria tacos with caldo and loved them. My father in law ordered 2 ground beef enchiladas with red sauce, and my mother in law ordered 2 plain ground beef tacos. I shared the ceviche with my dad, which was fresh and flavorful, and we each ordered one Quesabirria. It was so good! Dessert was perfect. We tried the flan and the chocolate flan. The chocolate flan was a moist Bundt-style chocolate cake with flan on top. Both were creamy, delicious, and enjoyed by all of us. Great service, great food, and Alexa truly made our first visit special. We'll definitely be back!

We started with the ABG salad that surprised me because I'm usually not a big fan of Gorgonzola, but the combination of green apple, pecan brittle, and cheese worked really well together and made for a great balance of flavors. For the pizza, we ordered the mushroom pizza and added pepperoni. The sauce was excellent I believe was some sort of a garlic/oil white sauce the mushroom portion was generous which I absolutely love, and the crust was exactly what I look for crunchy on the outside while still soft and slightly sweet inside. My only minor complaint with the toppings is that the $4 pepperoni add on felt a bit light, we only had a 2 or 3 slices per piece. The reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that our pizza was just slightly overcooked. The bottom was charred all the way around; wasn't burnt to the point of sending it back, but definitely left in the oven a minute or two longer than it needed to be. It wasn't busy when we visited, and it seemed like the employee rotating pizzas was a little more focused on chatting with FOH coworkers than keeping an eye on the oven. I've worked in pizza restaurants for nearly a decade, so I may be a bit more particular than most customers. Realistically, if our pizza had come out even a minute earlier, it would have been a 10/10 meal. That said, I enjoyed my visit and will definitely be back. The quality is there, and I'm looking forward to trying more of the menu in the future.
