One of my current favorite restaurants in Tucson. The breakfast burritos are so good, and I love getting a latte and a fresh juice. The employees are so friendly and welcoming. A must-visit when you're on that side of town.

JHC, Wendy sure makes some great foods. My favorite restaurant in the world used to me Tumerioco Tumerico, but not is is a toss-up between LaChaiteria and Tumerico. I wish I could eat at either every day for the rest of my life.

La Chaiteria has been one of my favorite restaraunts for many years now! The staff is friendly and more than willing to help you with any questions and provide excellent service to all. Wendy the owner is amazing in promoting new vegan choices for someone like myself. Also, the cold area has lots of choices for non alcoholic beverages which go well with any meal you choose. I am always welcomed there by all staff and the cashier will definitley help you in figuring out what dish you want to try. It is to my good fortune that I only live less than a mile from this location. Food excellent, Service impeccable and the environment is always top notch and clean! Defiinetly 5 stars in my book!

Honestly everything from this place is absolutely delicious. Every time I go the food is fresh the drinks are cool and the service is great. The food always comes with a side of salad and rice & beans.... Just so good. Just a very lovely place and it's so cute, I love the murals they have and the bulletin board has a lot of local community information. A plus is having their own salsa bar that's fresh and tasty. I can't wait to come back again.

A staple in the Menlo Park neighborhood! This is the spot to come to after your Sunday walk up Tumamoc. La Chaiteria has an expansive menu with breakfast, vegan, and non-vegan entrees. I love the fresh juices, especially the green Verde life. My favorite dish and one that never gets old because of the flavors and portion, is the Ropa Vieja. Im not even vegan and I gravitate towards this every time. The jackfruit carnitas is perfect. The portions here are generous for every dish and I wouldn't expect to go home hungry. The best thing about this location is the outdoor seating. I've brought pets to sit outside with us and it makes for the perfect day.

La Chaiteria is a hidden gem close to everything downtown. Stopping here after walking Tumamoc is the perfect morning. The Verde Life juice is a juice with just enough sweet and greens. I always order the huevos rancheros or the ropa vieja. The food here, similar to Tumerico, is fresh and delicious. There are a lot of vegan and gluten free options here. The staff are friendly and efficient. Always a great stop.

I can't believe I waited so long to try this place. The food was incredible. I ordered the carnitas plate with all salad as my side. The carnitas was nice and crispy and the salad has the most delicious dressing. It was busy today, Saturday, for lunch, the parking lot was full. We also ordered the vegan ropa vieja at the recommendation of the cashier and the flavor was outstanding. I have to take off a star because I was almost done eating my food when the ropa vieja finally showed up. I also wished the portion size of my carnitas was larger. I loved this place though and will be back for sure!

I stopped in Friday when I was at the 4 street fair. I was expecting street fair food. I had a Barbacoa burrito and my sister had a Pollo Asado burrito. I was totally amazed t both burritos were superb! I have been a snow bird in Tucson for10 years staying 5 winter months These were the best burritos I have EVER had. This size was perfect, the meat was Generous and they made them outside on the grill. The service was out of control amazing! From the order taker to the burrito griller. I didn't even believe small restaurants had quality service anymore. PS I retired from 40 yrs retail! A shaded quaint porch to eat on . I am having an open house in January for some MN. Visitors and these Burritos will be my main dish! My biggest complaint is they are very far from me! .

This is a go to place right after tumamoc! The food is light and flavorful. The portions are big! It's a bit pricey for breakfast but the food is so worth it. My favorite is the mesquite latte. The service is fast and they have a nice variety of salsas. The dishes also include vegetables/salad which always makes me feel like im making healthier food choices. They have alot to choose from!

WOW! I met a friend here today. She recommended it as a must-try in Tucson. This cute restaurant is nestled in Menlo Park and offers the best food I have had in a very long time. They have a menu that offers something for everyone with a plethora of vegetarian and vegan options. I ordered an iced horchata latte and the Barbacoa plate. Everything came out very quickly. The latte was tasty and not too sweet! The cashier also recommends the mesquite latte. The Barbacoa plate came with beans, rice, a salad and tortillas. Everything was EXCELLENT! The salad was fresh and bright and made for a more well-rounded meal compared to traditional Mexican dishes. The rice was good with some veggies incorporated as well. The Barbacoa was SO good -- the flavor was so so delicious and the meat was super tender! I was so happy with the entire meal and devoured all of it. I can't wait to go back to Tucson to try more of their items! What an amazing gem. All of the employees were kind and seemed to really care about my experience here. Will recommend again and again!
