Is it just me but for something that is free is getting really expensive?! It's as almost going to the fair minus the cost of a ticket. But the food! Some of them absolutely worth it while others not so much. For two years in a Herculean which is known for their chicken have run out of everything for something being so popular you'd think they'd have enough?!. I was amazed by how busy and popular this middle eastern ice cream vendor had, and a line that was crazy long yet worth the wait of course by the time I get to order all their popular drinks and treats were sold out so I settled for a mint lemonade I don't know if it was worth the five bucks or buying a soda or water for $3 a can and $4 for a bottle of water. The city was kind enough to have these water stations that had a gross aftertaste like they used a hose to fill them up. But the prices on some of these vendors I felt like I was at the fair it's amazing how quickly $200 can go just on food! You're probably thinking 🤔 damn big back, but with three other people yeah it adds up and a few hours later you just end up on the toilet. Yeah it's once a year and whatever but do they really need to do that!? But after two years in a row of not being able to get some delicious taiwanese chicken I don't know if I want to go again next year. I can accept that they'd run out of items on the last day but not on the second day!? Come on!!! Oh yeah there's a vendor called friesy I think it's called let me just say that I can tell the cook/owner doesn't change out his gloves... I took a chance though I ordered the AZ fries which had chicken of course the fries with cheese and topped with onion rings and their house sauce now it looked nice but the taste wasn't pretty to the pallet, onion rings were chewy the fries weren't fresh they're frozen the chicken was pretty much cut up chicken nuggets they used great value cheese instead of that good good if I had to rate it it's a one star ⭐ and that's just...
Read moreI went down on Saturday evening with my family. This is my first time visiting Tucson Meet Yourself. Immediately, the smells of spices, food from all the regions hits and stays throughout my visit. Many stages are all around, from mariachi music to Indian dancing. Parking was difficult. I suggest to google the best route and parking lots available as many roads are closed for the event which runs from Friday-Sunday. The food was the star in my opinion. From Mexican, polish, Indian, iranian, Italian, Chinese, thai and more than I can name. We stumbled around the corner and discovered a car show. This was my 2 year old son's favorite. Although the event closes at 10pm, many of the vendors were gone for the day. I can't believe I waited so long to come to Tucson Meet Yourself. Perfect for the family...
Read moreIt's one of the better street festivals in town but a hideous place to volunteer--they wasted our time, gave us tasks that didn't make sense, did not give us the resources we needed, we repeatedly received drive by verbal abuse shouted by two arrogant male staff riding around in gocarts who never introduced themselves including the founder. We had to find & greet the volunteer captain, ask him his name and what his role was and then he left without helping us. It was the single worst volunteer experience of my life out of hundreds. I've never had a bad time working a street festival out of scores of events...
