Where to Eat in Tucson, Arizona's Desert Jewel | Bon Appétit

"Whenever friends ask me where to take out-of-towners, I point them to this cozy neighborhood restaurant. While the menu features influences ranging from Japan to the Levant, the flavors are distinctly Tucson thanks to the mesquite-fire-centric kitchen and hyper-local ingredients..." - ByJackie Tran

Stopped in randomly on vacation-awesome find! Happy hour margaritas were tasty! Veronica was a great server and all of the food came out amazingly.

Excellent happy hour! Goes until 8PM and they have different specials. Wings and carne asada were solid. Janette and Veronica behind the bar were awesome too! Will definitely be going back next time I'm in Tucson. 😎

This spots is pretty cool. Super cool for Tucson. The garlic parm wings were meh.... but they were 5 for $5.00 during happy hour so no biggie. The bartenders were fast, knowledgeable and really easy on the eyes. The fries were really good too.

I used to love coming here and renting tables for me and my friends. They had a great special $150 a bottle before 10am. But when I use the word HAD… they still promote it but I went last weekend and the new guy charged me over $270. Guess we won’t be getting bottle as often.

The food is good but it's kind of tight inside. The other location is much nicer and roomy. Thought the tables at the other site are far too low, there's some space. The downtown location is a bit cramped. Despite the small size of the interior, getting service was a challenge. The host sat us and gave us menus. Though it was not crowded, it took a while to get someone's attention so we could order drinks and again when we were ready to order food. I tried to flag someone down and that was unsuccessful. I had to go over to the bar because apparently, only the bartender is able to take our orders, both for food and drinks. That was really stupid. They should get more staff. This was a Friday night so not like I'm expecting this to be a hot spot on a Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon. It seemed the bartender was more focused on her conversation at the bar. I get she is keeping them happy but it shouldn't be at the expense of all the other guests. The food arrived pretty quickly and it was hot and tasty. Unfortunately, asking for anything else required another trip to the bar from our table. No one came over to ask if we needed a refill of our drinks or anything at all, like most restaurants. I probably won't be going to this location again based off of this. There are many options downtown.

We gave this place a try because it was raining and the other restaurant we planned on visiting didn't have any availability. It was the worst decision ever. We now know why they had tables available. Wildly over priced for terrible food and mediocre service. I ordered the chicken tacos. They were so incredibly dry and flavorless. The $16 burger was lack-luster. The server only brought 1 set of silverware for us to share and we had to ask for it! If you're in downtown Tucson, this place is a pass.

The bartenders here are so nice and attentive! We love Morgan and Johan. They were super awesome to chat with and even asked us our favorite music and put it on for us!! Drinks were really good and atmosphere is soooo dope. Bathrooms were super clean and lit up with LED lights and cooo art. We will definitely be back!!!

We always go to the 29th location and tried the downtown location and was highly disappointed! The food was nothing in comparison or the drinks! My margarita had chunks of ice in it! The nachos were naked with no flavor and the salad was horrible with old lettuce! We were highly disappointed and wish we went to the original location! Don’t waste your time… go to the hood it’s WAY better!!

Congress is in dire need of real sports bars. While nothing truly fills that niche, The Neighborhood's bombastic atmosphere is definitely worth checking out! What I loved: Blaring music, exceptional interior design, and expansive bar seating really lure you in. Every time I've ended up here, I have not had a bad time. It gets absolutely packed during big games, and there's a nice list of basic, casual cocktails. What needs work: Honestly, the food has never been good on any of the three occasions I've tried it. Will I keep ordering it? Yes, because it's good enough, and because drinking here is comfortable and trendy. If you want something that feels a little bit clubby, but accessible, this is your spot!

Possibly the worst "Sports" Bar I've ever been to. Left at halftime of the Warriors game 3 win over the Rockets. Our Uber driver told us we made a great choice leaving. Beer selection is embarrassing. Almost seems like whomever selects the beer knows absolutely nothing about beer. Horrible music. Horrible TV placement. Ridiculous flashing lights completely distracting from viewing the games. Only redeeming thing was the bartender/server that started when we got there around 5pm Saturday night. Basically it's a schizophrenic bar that cannot decide what it wants to be and has no business calling itself a "Sports" bar. Our uber driver dropped us at a real Sports Bar Rusty's on Grant just as halftime was ending & we got to see a great win.

More bar that restaurant with good Mexican music vibe. House margarita has some tequila in it. Had the mixed tacos sampler. Service at the bar was spot on. But, only the shrimp taco came out hot. The burrs and asada came out at room temp leading me to believe they were all pre made.

Just an update to my review. I just got wings for lunch, and they informed me that they reduced the 10 for $10 menu because they could not get several items done in ten minutes. The items are still available, but cost more and will take more time. The remaining items on the lunch $10 menu are Chicken Tortilla Soup, Wings and fries, Chicken Tenders and Fries, Burger Bowl and Hood Nachos. (Hope it wasn't my review that pushed the burger, tacos and burro off the menu)

I had dinner here after an afternoon show at the Fox Theatre, which is a block away. The place is too loud. As for the food, I ordered the Taco-broso Combo ($15.99), which is a plate of three tacos. The tacos were OK but overpriced. Service was good.

The shrimp appetizer alone would really be five stars! I've tried it once and loved it, but then returned and tried it again and it was very different, then tried it again during this visit recently and loved them again! This is a must order dish, but only on those good days. I also don't usually like mozzarella sticks but these ones were pretty tasty! I liked my appetizers more than my tacos. They weren't bad but I wish I could have picked my 3 flavors instead of having to choose the one combo selection they had. I wasn't a big fan of the fish one. The service was good at the beginning, but it felt lacking towards the end and we had to ask another staff member for boxes. The restaurant is decorated well and has TVs, giving a bar/sports lounge kind of vibe buuut maybe a step up from that. There's also a DJ, so you don't hear the sound to the TVs. Would I go here again? Sure. Do I have to? Not particularly, but would def for appetizers !

Carmen took really good care of us. We decided to try out this restaurant/bar since we love to try new places when we are downtown. What a fabulous experience. We were not told it was happy hour until after we ordered. If we knew our initial order may have been different but we added on until we were sure everyone was full. The nachos were small but great flavor. The wings were freaky good and the tacos were really good. The taste of the marg was good but a lot of ice so it would take multiple to get a full drink. But... I've been to places that charged a lot more than 5 bucks and had the same amount of drink so.. not sure how this compares to non happy hour sizes. We will be back for the food and service.

I are here Wednesday night to watch the final basketball game. They have lots of huge TVs that are always playing sports. I ordered the mango habanero and lemon pepper wings. The wings are kind of smaller than I would've liked given how much they cost but they were good. I highly recommend the mange habanero sauce!! I also ordered a watermelon margarita which had lots of sugar and liquor just how I like it. On the weekends Lush, a fun lounge/club that plays mostly reggaeton, is on the rooftop. I'm definitely playing to come back to this bar again as it's downtown and has a fresher aesthetic compared to the original bar on the other side of town.

Maybe you should plan a head and dot your I's and cross your T's so you don't look like morons. if you're going to have a watch party, and you are going to seat at a first come first serve basis, maybe you should disable your reservation service. Or have the balls to honor the reservation since it was YOUR mistake.

Food , service, ambience is great! It's too damn hot in there which is preventing us from frequenting as much as we use too. Want to give them 5 stars but can't because it's too hot in there

The cocktails here were incredible! I had a piña colada (on the rocks) and it was so creamy and sweet, I couldn't stop drinking it. If I wasn't already befuddled on arrival, I might have had a second drink (as this was the fourth and final stop of a Saint Patty's Day themed bar crawl)! We also ordered carne fries and they were fire, for lack of a better description. It was just what I needed to end the night. The service was super quick and they were so good about checking in on our table. I also love bars that play music but not so loudly that you can't hear the other people in your group, and this was exactly that kind of bar.

What a great place. The service was very attentive and our server made some great recommendations. Highly recommend the garlic parm fries! The fries were crisp and the sauce was so yummy!! Started out as a sports bar and turned into karaoke... and boy what incredible entertainment! Really fun!!

Cool place and I've been to the original location. The food is good, but not consistent. The service is good for the most part, but I believe the Neighborhood has questions about it wants to be a Nightclub, restaurant, or sports bar? The drinks are good and a lot of cool decor.

Pretty standard drinks. House margaritas left a lot to be desired but the tacos were excellent. Quiet Tuesday night so not sure how the crowd is on a normal night. Young vibes. Get the tacos!

Service was excellent. Food was amazing. I loved the wings. My husband loved the birria tacos. The atmosphere was fun and upbeat. Will be going back for sure. Truffle fries weee good but nothing I can't make at home! The wings are $5 for 5 during happy hour. Soooo good!

Ambiance: It's a bar downtown with bumping music that sometime's a bit too loud. Go before the night crowd rush. Service: Efficient and personable. Pretty fast. Food: Honestly, I'm just here for the happy hour that's pretty unbeatable (ask about it! it's not advertised in the restaurant). $5 wings (6 pieces), $5 margaritas, and cheap loaded nachos that are basically a full meal. I can't speak for the rest of the menu that seems like it may be on the expensive side (the downtown tax is a thing) but the happy hour prices, sizes, and quality are pretty good value. Overall, I'd be back!

Tasty mechilada. Not sure the best as everyone states. I've had the best mechilada at Rosarito n yet to be beat. Now the food was super good. Tacos yummy but a little bit dry like birria needed the broth that's all

Sunny S.

Yelp
The food is good, atmosphere is good but it's silly to have one person running around taking orders, serving and making drinks. Janette was very sweet but poor thing was running around trying to do everything and it was busy. Also the happy is cool and all but if one person is doing everything, you can't even get your order. We sat around waiting for Janette to be available for about 10 mins and we couldn't get our order in until after 8 when happy hour ends. SMH...

Over priced, mid food, customer service was not great either. Better spots to eat at downtown.

Big disappointment. 1 bartender and 1 server on a Sunday at 5 pm with events at the Fox and TCC plus street fair overflow. Completely unprepared for a crowd. Drinks were ok but food was super slow and not great. Table of 4...first and last $180 this place will see from me. Never been before and NEVER coming back.

Stopped into The Neighborhood late on a Sunday night to try out the place. Never been here but I wish we had tried it sooner! We sat in a booth near the back of the restaurant and ordered a couple of Hood-Rita margaritas for $12 each. I really didn't care for them. They were too large, and thus too watered down. I would really rather prefer just a well-made classic margarita without the fishbowl. Our daughter got a virgin Pina Colada and she liked it. We just wanted to dabble in a few things and ordered the Mexican Street Corn, the Tajin Lime Wings, and a Caramelo...and wow, everything was so good! The Tajin Wings are just insanely good and I've never had this flavor combination. The caramelo was simple but very good and the street corn was huge with four pieces. This would make a great appetizer for a group. Our service was exceptional and Joanna was really nice to talk to. Overall we really enjoyed this place despite the lackluster margs and honestly we can't wait to come back and try more food.

I had a reservation scheduled for a Saturday for my birthday and they canceled it 2 hours before! Absolutely horrible service, they called to tell me my reservation "slipped through the cracks" and they had to cancel it due to a fight night. Mind you I scheduled it Monday and got a call 2 hours prior, maybe honor the reservation instead of inconveniencing your customers?

The food and drinks were delicious! I ordered the happy hour $5 nachos and added chicken to them for a little extra. They were very filling and flavorful. The green tea shot was wonderful. I also ordered the No Mames Margarita and was unprepared for how large it was (not a bad problem to have). The ambiance here was very pleasant. It was absolutely packed when I ate here and because of that, service was pretty slow. It wasn't a huge issue though and I still enjoyed my meal.

Saw a waiter taking care of the tables all on her own and managing it very well, aside from that other girls were bothering her in the bathroom & as she tried to deescalate the problem, the girls tried getting her again outside & she maintained professionalism this whole time. She also brought the food out quickly.

I was drunk on Saturday and left with the wrong leather jacket so I took it back the next day and asked if I could look for mine in case they had the same heart as me. They girl at the bar said no, so I asked for the manager and she said she was the manager. I was shook as me and my friends have spent thousands of dollars on bottle service there so I just called all the bottle girls, the dj and the head chef (who quit and my favorite bottle girl cuz they apparently they don't treat them good). After everyone blowing her up she let me go up and look for my jacket (my truck keys were in there). And even tho I got my jacket it was just more extra then it had to be. Otherwise all the bottle girls, the dj's and security do an outstanding job and treat me and my friends like VIP

Awe we came back tonight with friends to get food and drinks. Your two servers/bartenders ignored us for over 20 minutes. We were the only table that had not been treated for more than 20 minutes. We noticed they were cleaning tables and doing dishes rather than even great us or bring us waters. We thought it was because it was close to happy hour being over, but we don't know. We are all in the service industry and understand when you get weeded, but this was not the case. We will never come here again, and tell others not to come either.

I just discovered The Neighborhood at an event earlier this month (thanks, Yelp Elite) and have been looking forward to a return trip. A friend and I stopped by during lunch today and had another great experience. They have 10 lunch specials for $10, and the portions are large and variety good (burgers, burritos, tortilla soup, tacos, salad and more.) I had the chicken nachos and my friend the papas locas. Lots of flavors and beautifully presented. We also shared the mojito shrimp appetizer, which was the star of the show. Perfectly cooked, flavorful and plenty of kick. And a nice portion (eight) of good-sized shrimp for the price ($11.) I really enjoyed my pineapple agua fresca, but they have award-winning micheladas,that are also great. The space is really funky- long and narrow with high ceilings- and the decor is bright and lovely. Lunch was busy, but our server was friendly and fast. I'll definitely be back.

My bf and I walked in there because I wanted to go to the club upstairs but it was still early so we decided to hang out at this place. The server was very friendly! We weren't planning on eating food there but my bf ended up eating chicken wings and they were actually super delicious!!!

Was going to a concert, and decided to grab dinner before the show. The vibe here is different from the original Neighborhood...as it should be. Younger, brighter, dance music vibe here. Lots of bright signage with sports undertone. 5 or 6 TV's for sports. I ordered an OG burger with fries, and it was pretty good. I wish you could order your burger how you would like it cooked....as I would get medium . Prices are a bit higher here...6 dollars for a bottle of Corona, and limited draft.

This was our first time here and Carmen made sure to explain and break down the menu questions we had. The food was on point as well as my mango margarita. The kitchen had a minor miscommunication on our food but they quickly fixed it and it was amazing. Definitely coming back for sure

Yelp
Be very careful when you pay for your drinks, the bartenders are scammers, by the way, yesterday I paid 30 dollars to enter that place dollars so that a girl rudely took us away because she wanted to clean a table, poor employees they think that because they work in a bar in downtown they think they are rich

Unplanned walk in and we honestly should've kept walking because it was sub par... Place was practically empty but the server was ok, pretty responsive. My friend and I both got tacos, me carne asada, nothing special with some rice which was an additional fee but not worth the extra $1.50. There was nothing Spanish about it, if that's what it was supposed to be. My friend got the queso fundido but she wasn't impressed either, didn't like the beans. It just wasn't what I thought it was going to be and I don't ever need to go back!

My girlfriends and I went to the neighborhood to celebrate our friend's bday! We only went for drinks, we ordered an Arnold Palmer with alcohol, white claw trash can (I think), a strawberry margarita, and a couple other things I can't think of. The vibes are great, they play really good music. There is room for improvement in the service. We went on a Saturday at around 3pm and there weren't that many people but it took like 20mins to get our drinks. I did order a salad but they got it wrong so I asked to cancel my order.

Gary G.

Didn't care for this place at all. Apparently it was the bartender's birthday, so her friends or whoever decided to turn it into the loudest dance club I've ever been to. Pretty much the entire place other than her friends left immediately.

Absolute garbage food & terrible service. Nothing about this place stood out besides the bad attitude from employees & high prices for less than mediocre food. Drinks are WAAAY overpriced & watered down. You can do much better by going anywhere but here. What a joke!

Dropped in on a Saturday afternoon and was greeted by incredibly attentive, personable, friendly staff. My fiancé and I shared the Neighborhood Michelada which was a real treat. We further indulged in some corn, street tacos, and chicken wings...amazing flavors. We weren't at all distracted. The atmosphere is live and vibrant!

Lauren was fantastic as our server and it may be the delicious margaritas I just had for happy hour, but my trio of street tacos were without a doubt the best tacos I've ever eaten. Atmosphere was great, Latin music, sports on TV and a super great vibe. Everyone was friendly and I'm leaving wishing I could eat here every day for the rest of my life. So glad we found this spot-- will def come back next time we are back in Tucson.

The bartender was rude and literally charged us for shots when she clearly made drinks she didn't take off the check and made mediocre shots. I asked her several times if she knew how and if she didn't it was fine we wouldn't have them. She remade them and for two shots she used 1 oz of two liquors for two shots. I liked this place before and maybe will be back. We went there to watch a game and so many difficulties trying to get a game on the TV not all of them just one. Disappointing

This place is SICK, definitely one of the coolest bars in Tucson. Didn't try the food, but they have really good piña coladas and the staff is very friendly and professional. There's a spinning vintage bike that acts like a disco ball. Can't get better ambiance than that.

Got seated and the experience was nice . Good music good vibes. Our waiter was friendly took our order and was never seen again. Never got our drinks refilled, had to flag someone down for utensils. Got our food dropped off like animals by whoever and never asked if it was correct. Boneless chicken was so deep fried I couldn't eat anything & impossible burger was cold. Couldn't find anyone to flag anyone down for service until the end I asked for a manager. She asked if everything was ok I told her the situation and she couldn't care less. 80.00 for burnt wings- undercooked cold meat -2 watered down drinks that were not even the correct drinks and no service! Never again

The people are nice and ambiance is ok. That is way I give them a 2start. Today I go in and order an OG burrito. Told the server please no guacamole on my burrito. I waited almost 30 minutes to get my food and when it comes out it has guacamole in it so I send it back another 15 minutes go by and I still don't have a burrito even though the server told me you'll be back in five minutes to give it to me. . The place was not busy and I felt like I should've got my food as soon as possible since they messed up on the order. So I can't tell you how the food is because I had to leave. I was on my lunch break and I have to get back to work. So if you are in a hurry don't go here for Lunch. That's crazy that they have advertisement that says $10 lunch meals in 10 minutes lol
