  • 4th Avenue Delicatessen

    425 N. Fourth Ave. Downtown / 4th Ave / University

    624-3354

    This cozy addition to the diverse Fourth Avenue food scene is open late—really, really late: 3 a.m. Thursday through Saturday. The guys behind the counter are creating simple, inexpensive sandwiches that follow the classic deli theme. With plenty of choices, including low-carb and vegetarian-friendly options, this little place is sure to be hopping for lunch and post-drinks. Plan on calling in a to-go order because seating is quite limited. (12-12-13)

  • Baja Café

    7002 E. Broadway Blvd. East side

    495-4772

    Baja Café is a soon-to-be discovered hidden Eastside gem, serving up breakfast classics with a Sonoran twist (green chile benedict, anyone?) and standard sandwich/burger lunch fare, with the addition of some taco and quesadilla selections. The décor is kitschy and cute, and the service is friendly. This little breakfast-and-lunch neighborhood dive has fresh, hot food, though don’t expect to be in and out in a flash. (7-10-14)

  • Bentley's House of Coffee and Tea

    1730 E. Speedway Blvd. Central

  • Birría Guadalajara

    304 E. 22nd St. Central

    624-8020

    One of the best quick-stop Mexican food venues in town. The carne asada and birría burros are standouts.
  • BK's

    5118 S. 12th Ave. South Tucson

    295-0105

    Also at 2680 N. First Ave. (207-2245). Nothing fancy, nothing grand, just a boatload of some of the best carne asada you're ever likely to sample. A scrumptious salsa bar with lots of goodies to complement your tacos, quesadillas or caramelos (quesadillas with carne asada) is a delightful bonus, and the Sonoran hot dogs put the usual ballpark fare to shame.

  • Bobo's Restaurant

    2938 E. Grant Road. Central

    326-6163

    Long a favorite breakfast spot, Bobo's serves up enough ham, eggs and pancakes to feed all of Tucson. Lunch specials are iffy, but breakfast—especially the omelets—is outstanding.

  • Bread and Butter Café

    4231 E. 22nd St., No. 101. East side

    327-0004

    For a cheap, fast breakfast or lunch, the Bread and Butter Caf? is a longtime Tucson favorite (although the joint doesn't serve butter; go figure). The coffee cup is bottomless and constantly refilled; the eggs are cooked perfectly to order. Be sure to save room for a ?wedge? of homemade pie; dessert is where this caf? really excels. Expect a wait during peak weekend hours. (4-9-09)

Sister company Carte Blanche Catering offers full service catering for private events at the cafe or offsite. The patio and French garden chic add extra appeal. (05-15-18)
  • Café Marcel

    2281 N. Oracle Road Central

    623-3700

    The crepes at Café Marcel are simply amazing. With both sweet and savory crepes on the menu, as well as croissants, it’s worth trying as many as possible. The savory crepes, served with an herb cream sauce, are definitely not to be missed. Prices are reasonable, and the service is friendly. Café Marcel also offers a variety of organic coffees and specialty teas. (8-2-12)

  • Crying Onion Café

    3684 W. Orange Grove Road, Suite 156. Northwest

    520-742-7278

    Big breakfast portions and friendly service are two reasons why this northwest-side eatery draws such big crowds. The baked goods from scratch are another reason. Try a scrambler or the cinnamon roll French toast for a real treat. You won’t walk away hungry, and your wallet won’t be depleted. (12-8-05)

  • Dickey's Barbecue Pit

    4210 N. First Ave. Central

    292-4664

    This Dallas-based barbecue chain is worth checking out, thanks to some tasty meats (especially the chicken and turkey) and enjoyable sides. The pecan pie is pretty good, too, as is the free ice cream. The fast-casual service is swift and friendly. The d?cor is a horrendous m?lange of marketing, but just focus on the food, and you?ll be fine. (5-21-09)

  • D's Island Grill JA

    3156 E. Fort Lowell Road. Central

    861-2271

    For a taste of the islands—in this case Jamaica—D’s is the place to go. With fried plantains, jerk in many forms, cool drinks, great reggae and friendly service, it’s almost like you’re on the beach in Montego Bay. The dinners are fabulous and filling thanks to savory red beans and rice, a crispy festival and some slaw. Chicken comes jerked or curried; tilapia is crispy and moist and the desserts are the perfect counterpart to all that heat. There are also Jamaican tacos, a hamburger and beef patties. The prices are perfect. We’ll be heading back soon, for sure, mon. (11-14-13)

  • El Coronado Family Restaurant

    9040 E. Valencia Road, No. 100. South Tucson

    574-7776

    Good Mexican food has come to Rita Ranch! El Coronado serves up tasty stuffed quesadillas, and the chorizo and egg plate is a revelation. The menu includes both Mexican classics like menudo and gringo classics like chicken fried steak. In other words (clich? alert): There?s something for everyone! (4-8-10)

  • El Rio Bakery

    901 N. Grande Ave. West side

    624-4996

    El Rio Bakery?s been around for decades, and when you sample their delicious pastries (we particularly like the empanadas), you?ll know why. However, El Rio also offers up other tasty Mexican fare; the soups are especially good. We recommend a steaming-hot bowl of albondigas (meatball) soup. (2-18-10)

  • Epic Café

    745 N. Fourth Ave. Downtown / 4th Ave / University

    624-6844

    This is as close as you can get to Berkeley without leaving Tucson. The inexpensive, healthy food with fresh vegetables. The diverse crowd. The casual, occasionally cranky counter service. The art on the walls. The straws in the Viagra-labeled container. It's all there. (5-15-03)
