In August we had a lackluster service experience that muffled our enjoyment of their typically terrific dining. It's bound to happen occasionally. Fast forward and on this mid-Oct Wednesday 6pm we popped in knowing that the likelihood of getting a table without a reservation would be slim (and with Charro and Los Milics as fabulous "backups" there was nothing to lose - love Tucson!). Amber was at the helm and quickly crunched some numbers. Despite 3-4 open two-tops, she said the difficulty is that they were booked by 7/7:15p and I promptly replied, we'll be done! and she whisked us to a table. Our next delightful encounter was with our server, Raul. From his easy charm, to his inconspicuous-yet-ever-present attentiveness (and little special accommodations and suggestions of his own devising) the evening continued its determined crescendo. We were able to enjoy our steaks completely unhurried and still finish before 7p. I caught Amber's eye and she thumbed up that the table situation was totally in control, so we ordered our favorite blue corn ice cream cookie and called it a night! NOTE: after wrestling with (a frankly clumsy) 5p/7p "partially open" reservation system for much of the year FMC just joined the masses and now takes full reservations every half-hour... way to go team!

We walked in on a Tuesday during around 5:50PM and it was packed! The indoor seating was full, but they were able to offer patio seating which had ample lighting. For our dishes, we had the roasted beets, hanger steak, Sonoran ceviche (tuna and salmon) and bisou burger ice cream sandwich. I loved the labneh base for the beets. Honestly everything blew us away, I could taste the high quality in all the ingredients. Everything was so tasty that not a morsel was leftover! Also shout out to our server who was handling the entire patio while making sure we were taken care of. All the staff were incredibly kind and friendly. In their bodega, we also got chocolate chip cookies, banana bread and wagyu jerky. If we lived closer, I would've loved to get some of their fresh fish on display and various chops of meats. I highly recommend that you stop in and check out this incredible business!

I get tired of seeing the same cuts of meat at my local grocery store and I am always on the look…read moreout for a good butcher or meat market. A friend told me about this place as he knows the owner as they went to college together and stated that the owner has several degrees in Meat Science. I went there and looked at all the cuts in the refrigerator section and noticed that he has some meats at the perfect refrigerated temperature so that you can purchase it and go straight home and throw it on your grill. I also noticed that someone had ordered a special cut and wanted him to age it for them and he had it behind glass at the temperature needed for the aging process. Was cool to see that meat aging. I bought two well marbled steaks and the size of them were perfect. I paid $20 for both! In my opinion that was a bargain. I grilled my steaks and boy was the flavor tasty and tender. The steaks cut like a knife going through butter. Next door from the meat section he has a counter where they can prepare and grill your purchased meat. I tried this service and the steak was grilled perfect and the French Fries on the side were delicious. I don't know what type of grease they use on the fries but they tasted delicious and crispy. The workers in the meat department and the cook were so nice and friendly. Stop in and make this your family meat market and if you want a steak grilled for you this is the place.

And if you're looking for great sides, definitely pick up the twice-baked potatoes or the stuffed jalapeños--they're incredibly tasty and pair perfectly with just about anything. Overall, it's a great spot with consistently high-quality products and plenty of interesting options to try.

We didn't have any fancy plans for Memorial Day yet still felt the celebratory elation of a 3-day…read morewknd and decided to treat ourselves to some Friday steaks. The first thing I need to own is that it's a shame I hadn't visited here before. We arrived at 5:30p and both the bar and patio areas were packed - standing room only, and no wonder. They have one of the better happy hours (daily! 3:00 - 6:30p) - able to accommodate both the slacker and the over-timer Lol. Basic drinks are all discounted such as house wines, well drinks, and beers. Their bottled wines and craft cocktails are all exempt though. Many of their appetizers are also discounted and some quite substantially. We grabbed a glass of the house cabernet ($6, normally $8) and the grilled shrimp wrapped in jalapeno bacon ($13, normally $20). NOTE: happy hour pricing is Only available if you order/consume at the bar or on the patio and that's clear in advance, and understandable. The dining areas were only half full at this early point (but filled up by 6:30) and the host kindly encouraged us to enjoy our starters at the bar as she would hold our table. We were then sat near the "back" of this long venue and frankly, aside from the lone windowed table at the very front, this would be my preferred seating - cozy, intimate, with only five other tables around us. For dinner drinks she got an Italian Nebbiolo Bricco Magno Red Blend ($13/glass, reliably terrific/mellow) and I got the Chupacabra ($15) Mezcal/prickly pear cocktail, strong and excellent as well. We got an additional appetizer: the roasted bone marrow ($19). I had never had marrow before but she raved about how good this can be if done properly (bonus, it is super healthy). Folks, a picture/worth a 1000... suffice to say this was simply outstanding! We both had long work weeks and were craving meat - just a damn good steak. Our waiter, without blinking recommended the 8oz bison filet mignon ($65) as his absolute menu fav, and then the day's special: 14oz ribeye ($50). We ordered each. All dinners come with two sides and we each got the day's special: roasted half artichoke and she got the loaded baked potato while I got the mashed potatoes. Food arrived about 15 minutes later at good temperature (warm/rested with a strong char) with each being accurately grilled (medium and medium-rare). Taste was outstanding. Neither one of us had bison filet before and marveled how it (subtly) added a "wild" edge to an always outstanding, lean-but-tender, cut of beef. The loaded baked was terrific, however, the mashed was the only disappointment... a plainer mash one could not make themselves - pure white and borderline dry, no milk, butter, egg, gravy(?), nothing to make it creamy or add any flavor dimension - a surprise frankly. The only other "critique" is that the dessert menu could add some kind of dark/chocolate concoction. All in all, though, we loved our experience and have decided to add this to our periodic special dinners rotation! Staff was outstanding - just the proper balance of attentive and quiet - and waters never went below half empty. Parking is free and plentiful, especially behind the restaurant (and yes, if you continue on around the back there is another long entrance/exit driveway that comes out the other side of Jimmy John's and Noodleholics.
