Ta’ Raspado

Great raspados one of the best in Tucson and the Tosti lotes are to die for great family service and if you want a quick snack come here

This review is based purely on the food. Sure the raspados are good, but that’s a given IMO for a raspados shop. The true gem are the tortas ahogadas. A decadent sandwich made up of a bolillo sliced in half, grilled, with cheese, avocado, tomato, and lettuce; then sandwiched together with your choice of meat (jamon, pierna, barbacoa, etc) in between. Then it’s drowned (hence the name) in a delicious chili sauce.
This is a shining example of how much flavor something so simple can pack. From the caramelized cheese, to the deep flavor of the meats, you can really tell they care about their food. I love going to this place, and the fact the people working there are extremely nice makes it that much better.

Been wanting to come here a while. Boy am I glad I did! What intrigued me to this place was their offerings of tortas ahogadas, Guadalajaran style! Basically a hot sandwich drowned in red chili sauce. Sounds strange but it is rediculously good.
I got a drowned ham torta, and you would be surprised how many places do not even offer that simple sandwich. The sauce, I got to the side and poured to my hearts content. All the fixings were freshed; my ham was crispy and not thin, avacado was no extra charge and the cheese was super yummy and unexpected!
Raspados are offered here as well and they even have an XL size! The menu is vast but similar to other raspados places; yummy chips with fixings, various types of shaved ices with different topings, smoothies and milkshakes, fresh fruit, aguas frescas, banana splits.
You name it they have it. I am so pleased with this experience and can not wait to go back over and over again. Finally I have found my very elusive drowned ham torta!
