I've been eating here for almost 40 years, and it is one of my favorites. I'm only in the area once every few years, but it is always as good as I remember. Tonight is was especially good.
Excellent Mexican Food. My family has been going to Club 21 for 43 years. The food and service has always been outstanding. We especially like the great Lunch specials and the new Game Day 1/2 off all appetizers. Skip, Vanessa, Linda and Kimberly have always provided excellent service with a smile. I highly recommend Club 21 for great Mexican food. Looking forward to our next visit!
I think Old School best summarizes it. The food is classic Mexican food served in a classic restaurant. Its like going back in time, except in a good way.
We go there on a regular basis as the food is good, priced right, and the Margarita's are good. But mostly for the atmosphere as it feels like an old school supper club that serves Mexican food.
OLD School. This Oracle rd. icon has been here about 40 years. I would eat here occasionally and not be disappointed.
Nothing stands out, but nothing disappoints. A lot of old snow bird regulars help keep it afloat.
Comfy, cozy, normal.
We have been there twice and have found; the food delicious, the ambiance interesting, beautiful, and playful, the staff helpful and attentive. There is food on the menu for every budget from ala carte to a large fancy dinner for a date. The first time we went we ordered the fajitas and share them which had enough for two people to be full from dinner. This last time I went I ordered a carne asada chimichanga enchilada style and had to take some home in a box. I also love that with the chips they bring a mild salsa and a spicier salsa, I dipped from one to the other, lol! I would recommend this restaurant and I also love that the dollar spent there goes to the owner and staff in our community.
The food was excellent (enchilada combo plate) and service was outstanding!
Loved the food and atmosphere! Congratulations on the new business
Very friendly staff, and beautiful entry way. The lighting is quite dim inside, which makes reading the menu a bit tricky. The entree was very good, but the rice and beans (which I think are sides for everything) were bland, but not off~putting, just unexciting. Overall very pleasant experience.
I've been craving a good ground beef chiming and man was I not dissapointed!!!
I've been going to Club 21 since I was 3 years old in 1965. The food is always the same......teriffic Mexican food. I can count on it being prepared the way I love it for each visit. They have the BEST Cheese Crisps that I've ever had anywhere. I gotta find out how they make them. Service is always nice and quick. Atmosphete always the same.....nice Mexican adobe building and not so loud I can't hear rhe person next to me talking. I always look forward to a meal at Club 21 when I visit Tucson!
I haven't been to The Club in about 20 years. While in graduate school at UA, friends and I met every Wednesday night after my class, with our dates or wives. We ordered the same thing every night, pitchers of cold beer and the best Margaritas ever, usual chips, and GREEN CHILI. OMG, the chili was out of this world good, had been on the stove slowly gaining flavor since daylight. That was fifty years ago, and I can still remember that taste, and wish I had a bowl right here and now. Maybe someday I can drop by again for dinner.
One of my favorite places. My family has enjoyed eating there for over 50 years. Taft, John, Linda and Vanessa have all made sure each dining adventure has been the very best.
That was then, this is now. Two weeks ago Taft suddenly closed the doors. It was time for him to put his life ahead of the business. It was sad that he closed without giving more notice to his customers or his staff. But that was the way it happened.
Vaya con Dios, mi amigo.
If you find yourself in Tucson and you was to eat at a truly historical restaurant this is the place to go. Club 21 has been around for a very long time. Back when Oracle road turned into miracle Mile just at the curve... Back when Oracle road was the place to have a nice meal. Come check it out family-owned family, run. truly a Tucson gem.
We had a group of about 30 people for a happy hour today. The service and food was great and so was the special Cactus Margarita! We will definitely be back.
I've been coming here for years and it's always good food. It takes a little bit for food to come out if you're in a large group but it's worth the wait. There are some better mexican restaurants that are cheaper but I absolutely love the food here!
Best local Mexican restaurant in town. Home made chorizo is my fav! I also love their salsa and sangria, Oh and thier tamales, tacos, enchilada suiza, and quesadillas.......EVERYTHING!!! Location isn't the best but it's where they started over 60 years ago! The owner is always working the bar and talking with customers. It feels like home but with much better food.
This place is historic . it has been in Tucson since 1946 in the same spot. Go there and eat everything they have . i love the el tejano plate. Its an opened face sandwhich with hamburger patties on buns covered with bean enchilada sauce black olive and melted cheese with lettuce. Its bomb!!
That was the best Mexican food I have had in Tucson since I moved here over a year ago! Ill be back to visit again. Can't wait to try something new!
I have only eaten here 3 times my entire time in Tucson, I especially like the collection of vintage liquor bottles and shot glasses they have on display, I heard Steve McQueen once ate here in the late 1950's while on a break from filming somewhere around Miracle Mile when this place was in its infancy.. Good food, great lunch specials, low key and comfortable seating, this place is frozen in time like mid 60's early 70's which I actually enjoy...If your in the area stop in an check it out you'll be visiting a Tucson classic...
ECG - El Chinito Gordo
The food was excellent. The servings are substantial. Marcos had fresh horchata. (I had a taste and it reminded me of my mom's home-made. The prickly pear guava margarita is really good. We ordered the allitas for appetizer really good crunch on outside, and so tender on inside. I was filled by the cup of pozole, and Marcos just made it through his two tacos Al pastor (large in sized). We are both full and GORDO, and have take home allitas. Wow!!!!
Very good local restaurant. We are rhe special: green chili burro and the enchiladas suisse. The hot salsa is one of the best in town. Food hot, fresh and attentive waitress.
