Support a small business and a Tucson Iron Chef Winner at the same time!! Iβve tried a bunch of different food from here and it has all been delicious. π Today I got the Beef Quesarita and loved it! Chef Wendy and the rest of the staff are ALL amazing and make me feel at home every single time. The food is made fresh and comes out hot, fast and delicious. They also have an awesome grab-n-go fridge and freezer with home made pre prepped meals for those of us who are too tired or have little time to cook at home AND they do catering!!
Canβt say enough about this business and Chef Wendyβs team. Bruce was very helpful and with me all the way thru the process planning a special party for my daughter. From planning to delivery and set up, the Chic Chef team took the stress away! Rather untraditionally, we used 9 appetizers and 3 desserts so people could easily pick up finger foods and eat thru the evening. The wide variety was plenty for a full meal. Raves from all of our guests about everything and we will definitely being calling Chic Chef again!
Great Catering experience. I love how professional and prepared they are when catering one of my events. Have to ask about their pulled brisket and scalloped potatoes. I recommend Chef Chic for any event you have.
Food is delicious and unique. Really has the hole in the wall feel
Great food very friendly staff their BLT is amazing.
They were so gracious. They helped find the items I was interested to purchase. The place was immaculate. Everyone was masked..I only tasted one of the desserts. It was sharable. Looking forward to entres this week.
I ordered Chef Chicβs Valentineβs Day three-course special which my family ate tonight. It was originally only supposed to be for two people but four of us ate it and had leftovers. There was braised lamb shanks, creamed celery root, fondue with amazing π« melting cheese and bread and broccoli and potatoes to dip, and finally an unbelievable desert of chocolate and vanilla. Hard to describe but it was insanely delicious. We will definitely order from her again she is a genius
Very good and original food. Great price and good portions. Clean little place, we will definitely be back and going to try the take and bake items.
Love their apps! They have a great product thatβs priced reasonably even for smaller parties! Go iron chef!
What a great find and a fantastic chef! Food was amazing and ohhh those onion rings and that quesarito! This is must try. Something for everyone.
A couple of UPS Drivers recommend this restaurant... They had been raving about all the many menu choices. Well.... ALL TRUE!!! The food is incredible!!!!! The menu selection is huge! Incredibly friendly staff and amazing
One of the best breakfast burritos Ive ever tried in Tucson. 10/10 would recommend!
Tasty food. Next time I need to try the roast beef pho sandwich.
I hired Chef Wendy to cater breakfast, lunch and dinner for a five day retreat I hosted just outside of Tucson. Our meals were absolutely DELICIOUS! She put together an amazing menu, everyone raved about the food as well as incredible desserts. And, she delivered them to us, so we didnt have to worry about a thing. Wendy is extremely talented and a pleasure to work with. Thank you for making the food a highlight of our retreat!
Most varied and delicious selection of vegan and vegetarian options Ive ever come across in Tucson
Update:So, Ive been wanting to try the food at Chef Chic in Tucson for months and months now, and finally said today was the day to do it. I have previously worked with Wendy Gauthier and the Chef Chic staff for a private catering event before the pandemic (and they did an excellent job, BTW). However, I havent tried their food since they opened their own store ... until now.I ordered a Quesarita, a Chicken Melt Sandwich, and fried cheese curds for curbside pickup. The online ordering process was easy, I received text and email notifications, and I arrived promptly on-time. The food was ready, brought out to be after less than a minute of waiting, and I then headed home for a good lunch.Well. Wow. Just look at the photo. They dont skimp on portion size and ingredients, the food was perfectly cooked, and I snarfed down half of the meal in no time at all. The cheese curds were buttery deliciousness and the bang bang sauce for dipping was a perfect match.The Quesarita is big, had abundant chicken and cheese, along with black olives and maybe some green chiles. The chicken melt sandwich was equally delicious, so much messy goodness with chicken, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. For the sandwich, you can have choices for the toppings, too.I am sitting here happily satisfied with one of the best lunches Ive had in a while. So, really, head on over to Chef Chic, sample the rather large selection of menu items, and enjoy yourself. Im really glad they are in Tucson as they are a fine addition to the culinary scene here.-----I utilized the Chef Chic team to create a southwest-themed sit-down dinner for a group of 7 people visiting Tucson from out of town in 2019. I found the staff of the Chef Chic team to be professional and friendly. The menu that was created was delicious with a variety of options (including gluten-free) and the visitors thoroughly enjoyed the dining experience with the Chef Chic team. Overall, a job very well done and I look forward to working with the Chef Chic team in the future.
Ordered Thanksgiving dinner for our 2 person COVID-stay-at-home holiday. It was fantastic!! Every dish was perfectly cooked and prepared (the sweet potato casserole was to die for π). Iβm so grateful Chef Wendy provided this service. Will definitely be back!
Food was excellent! Staff was really nice. We will be back!
We hired Chef Wendy to cater a dinner for our staff. I had wanted to try her food for real after tasting her amazing pumpkin bisque at the Reid Park Zooscon event. Every thing was delicious - airline chicken breast, roasted Brussel sprouts with cranberry, Thai tofu and butternut squash soup, and a vegetable paella - and everyone in our group found something they loved. Despite a short notice and during a really busy and challenging time - Chef Wendy did an amazing job.
We stop here at least once a week. Great menu built around seasonal faves. Chef Chic can whip up anything your heart desires but we love everything on the menu, as is & they have excellent carry out items ready to go, too. Highly recommend!
What a nice find. A group of us went for breakfast and we all left happy and satisfied. This is a small, modest Cafe that probably doesnt hold more than 20 to 30 patrons. The seating area is pretty basic but its clean and comfortable. From talking to the staff, I understand that they mostly do catering from this location. They also do a healthy grab-n-go lunch and dinner business. The chef has some considerable credibility having won the the 1999 Tucson Iron Chef award. Although the menu is not large and can change day to day, almost anyone should be able to find something to their liking - even if they have dietary restrictions. For breakfast there were traditional egg/meat/bread choices as well as some more adventurous items. Food arrived quickly and was well prepared. Gourmet quality meals and diner prices!
Always delicious food. Always fresh and the Iron chef is a master in the kitchen with her different meals.
We stumbled on Chef Chic while looking for wedding reception caterers. Janet listened and was helpful and got what we were after right from the beginning. The sous chef Lizzie and her two servers were wonderful and helpful. Most importantly, the guests couldnt stop raving about how excellent the food was. We are more than pleased with the excellent service and the excellent food.
Some keto, GF, DF grab & go options
Excellent food! Super duper great!!!A true Chef.Could not be happier with my full belly at the moment!And the flourless chocolate cake... OMG I went to heaven!
5 stars all the way. I do not have one complaint! From start to finish, everything went as planned. Janet helped with menu options and all the details. Our sous chef, Lizzy, did an incredible job and the food was phenomenal. We had a vegan guest that I hadnt planned for and Lizzy totally accommodated her by making a special plate. Everything was fresh, beautiful and flavorful. All of our bridal shower guests were blown away!
Food and catering are excellent. Service is spectacular. Stop in for fresh off the grill burgers, sandwichs and even vegetarian & vegan delights. Pick from a veriety of prepared meals and desserts you can have at home. Catering meals for your small group retreat or a giant galla are Chef Chics specially. Stop in yourself and meet the Iron Chef of Tucson 2019 herself, Chef Wendy. You will keep coming back.
Had the roast beef fabulous . gourmet dinner recipes for two at last !!!
Thank you Chef Chic for all you do for for community. And then last...night, catering our El Rio party of 50. Everything was so tasty. Compliments were flowing all eveni g. The food, the staff....just the best!!!! Cant wait to visit your new cafe.
We hired Chef Chic for a VIP reception for our donors. Wendy and her team were great! They made planning easy and the food was delicious. They were prompt and professional and I received many compliments throughout the evening. Thank you to Chef Chic for a wonderful evening!
When looking at the menu, I was expecting the pricing for such high quality meals would mean the portion sizes were smaller than the typical American cafe. I was surprised when such a large meal came before me. Each bite was absolutely heavenly. It was a challenge to eat it slow enough so I could savor each delicious morsel. With that quality and at that price, Im having trouble justifying why I eat anywhere else.
We ordered catering for a group of 80+ people. The food was delicious and well-received by our employees. It was obvious this was not a simple and thrown together meal but well-made, healthy, and unique. I would definitely recommend Chef Chic. And Janet was a wonderful and attentive help in getting it all scheduled. Thank you!
I used Chef Chic for the first time for a recent business dinner and was wowed by the result! Incredibly responsive, professional, and attention to detail oriented in response to my request for booking information that ultimately led to the reservation. from there, execution continued to exceed expectations as well - the food was absolutely delicious, on-time, well presented, good portion sizes etc. The guests were impressed and asked for information on the caterer - a good sign of a great dinner and as a planner, it is an immeasurable resource to have this type of result in a catered dinner!
We had a fabulous and unique experience with our group. The food was obviously outstanding, and our guests really enjoyed how personable the chef was. This is a great way to learn how to cook new dishes and socialize with friends and co workers.
Chef Wendy is an amazing caterer. Honest.
Not only is Chef Wendy an incredibly talented and gifted Chef, she is kind, thoughtful and always prepared for the what-ifs. Chef Wendy and her staff go above and beyond providing great food and personal and attentive service. They are prepared, professional and always bring their A game. They are friendly, inviting and extremely helpful even with things outside their scope of work. If you dont call Chef Chic for your next event, youre missing out on delicious food and and a great group of people.
Wendy and the team at Chef Chic are a great! Theyve helped me with catering for business events as well as parties I have thrown at home - allowing me to be a guest at my own party. They provide an excellent value and are on time and professional.... and the food is great! They are capable of so many different types of food. Chef Chic is a great company and I highly recommend them.
Event planning was smooth and seamless. I was kept informed ever step of the way. Showed up on time day of event an quickly set up the dishes. Loved the convenience of disposable (and recyclable!) high quality serving dishes and platters. The food was DELICIOUS! Raving reviews from event attendees. Had plenty of food for the number of invited attendees, with little leftover excess (but enough to enjoy for lunch the next day ;)) Price was comperable to other caterers I got quotes from. I would definitely use Chef Chic in the future!
From the initial phone call to delivery and set up, my experience was great! I had a last minute meeting to cater and Chef Wendy fit me in and made the meeting memorable. A special shout out to Janet being such a wonderful liaison. I will definitely use Chef Chic for future events.
I cant tell you how creative chef Wendy is I have attended personal home chef experiences with her where shes done beer and wine pairings as well as whiskey. I have sampled her food at the real dough and other places across the city and I can promise you she brings her best every time the most fresh and most creative ingredients. Every time I see her at a function and she is cooking I be lying to her station because I know its going to be awesome!
Wendy has worked with me on 4 occasions which means I love her food! 3 were large New Years parties. One was quite small and was Thanksgiving. I think repeat performances speak for themselves. Hiring Wendy is no mistake. You will be thrilled with your experience. Food is fabulous, very nice group that supports her. Sheβs as nice as they come. They took care of Everything!
Fantastic food and service. They provided an extensive menu for us to select our food from, and even suggested that we could save money by only having 1 chef/server instead of the typical 2. Our chef was punctual, friendly, informative, and extremely skilled. This was a great way to enjoy a delicious group meal without having to worry about cooking or cleaning while on vacation. Well definitely use Chef Chic next time were in Tucson!
Great experience working with Janet and Wendy on the food for our large annual event (350 people). Food was delicious and customer service was excellent. Will definitely use again!
Great Reuben sandwich
Chef Chic was amazing from start to finish! We hired Chef Chic for my wifes 40th birthday bash and I couldnt have been happier with our decision! Everyone loved the food (and we are picky)! Janet was a true professional in organizing all of the details and even referring us to table rental and nanny services that worked out great. Chef Max we super nice and a total pro in the kitchen. I looked around at a bunch of catering companies and am so happy we hired Chef Chic. They really made the whole experience amazing and stress free. Thanks Janet for all of your help!!!
I hired Wendy at Chef Chic to cater a networking event last week. Wendy had a creative idea for food and it was so delicious! I received many compliments from my guests and the Chef Chic team was attentive, responsive and punctual with everything from start to finish. I highly recommend Chef Chic for any occasion. - Mac Hicks
I went there today unexpectedly and had a meatloaf burger with mac&cheese and slaw all on a pretzel bun. Incredible!!!. I will go back
The staff a Chef Chic responded to our last-minute request to cater a dinner party for 25. They were very prompt and efficient and everything worked very easily. Even better, my wife loved the food! I recommend Chef Chic to anyone who wants a great experience - delivery, food quality and price!
I had a baby right before Thanksgiving and was not going to be any cooking. We ordered Thanksgiving dinner from Chef Chic and it was AMAZING! One of the best Thanksgiving dinners Ive ever had. We talk about how great it was, especially when were doing all the Thanksgiving dishes.
French onion chicken thighs with garlic mashed cauliflower and green beans for lunch?!? It was like stopping by someoneβs home for a meal. The location on S wilmot road easy easy to miss so keep an eye out for it. Also the Quesarito needed two people to finish it! We got the one with steak, which was perfectly cooked.
Chef Chic was FANTASTIC! I hired them to do an in-home catered dinner for a bachelorette party. The food was AMAZING and our chef, Marcos, was the BEST! The team was super helpful and accommodating prior to the event... I will most definitely be using Chef Chic again.
Wendys food is delicious. Her staff are professional, friendly and extremely helpful. It is such a joy to be able to be with the people instead of slaving over the food. If you want a wonderful event, call Wendy
We went there today for a lunch meeting and the food was exquisite! Chef Chic is a great place to stop in for a quick bite of scratch made comfort food. I had the Quesarita which had wonderful flavor to it. My associate had the Pho Cheesesteak and was impressed with the flavor as well. Chef Wendy rocks!!
Excellent food and presentation was great! My experience with Chef Chic was excellent.
Chef Chic always does an excellent job catering events. Staff members are friendly and helpful, and the food is always delicious. I highly recommend you use Chef Chic when you need prepared meals and help with an at-home event!
Because of our hectic schedules we have had Wendy provide us with wonderful and delicious ready to heat and eat meals. Every time we come up with a request for a new option Wendy is happy to prepare as we ask.Thank you as always
We were without a kitchen for an extended period due to some unforeseen circumstances at our new home...Wendy and her team at Chef Chic stepped up and saved us from fast food and take out every night. By providing easy and delicious home made/nutritious options, as well as the ever elusive easy prep time, our family meal times were revived. She even satisfied our 3 and 5 year olds picky tastes. Thanks Chef Chic!! I would recommend them to anyone and everyone.
Excellent experience. Great food, great service, and great planning.
This was our first time using Chef Chic, the food was delicious, everyone joyed it, there was plenty. The Chef was very easy to work with, extremely accommodating, and willing to work with us and our national requirements. We will definitely use them again for another event.
My sister and I decided to use this service for our moms birthday. What a great experience, she loves the food, the portions are very nice and they were delivered as expected. Highly recommend this service!
A caring person who is dedicated to her craft and customers.
The food was amazing and Chef Wendy and her help were great to work with. I would highly recommend them.
I chose Chef Chic as caterer for a memorial party and was very pleased with the service and food. Janet was very attentive and pleasant to make arrangements with. The food was top quality and I received many compliments from guests. The quantity of food was more than adequate, leaving me with some delicious leftovers!My only non-praise comment is about the plasticware that is included in the price. For a more formal dinner event, the plastic plates and rolled-in-paper napkin plasticware were too informal - more appropriate for a picnic. I would like to have had the option to not pay for those items.
The food and service that Wendy provides is unmatched in Tucson. Everything about this delicious, convenient food service is excellent from the menus to the delivery, from the freshness of the food to the ease in ordering.And did I mention the price is right!!! You wont be sorry!
Ive used Chef Chic on two different occasions for two different parties and not only was the food the best I have ever had from a caterer, the presentation and staff was amazing. I strongly recommend Chef Chic. No one will be disappointed. All tastes are catered to including vegetarian, vegan, paleo, gluten-free, raw, etc. Do yourself a favor and try Chef Chic if you have not already used them.
I cant day enough about this company. We had them cater our 20th anniversary dinner and had numerous entrees, appetizers, sides and desserts. All of us listed three different favoritea. Every single dish was some of the best food Ive had. The steak was as good or better than any from the best steak houses. The deserts were incredible. The appetizers were show stoppers. Amazing service. Wonderful contact leading up to the dinner. Thank you!
Wendys team make great food. I have had so many things from her that I was sure I would never eat and they were all fantastic. I love her food.
Wendy and her team are excellent. Great food, very organized, all around great experience.
The food was delicious and they were all very accommodating and very easy to work with! I would definitely use them again.
Delicious, creative, aesthetically pleasing and totally awesome recipes and service are the keys to Chef Chics fabulous reputation. You can count on Wendy for gourmet food, impeccable service and VIP treatment every time!!
Great team that worked with me and incorporated my menu requests. Very professional
Outstanding Vegan
Chef Chic is professional, efficient and the food is consistently delicious. I highly recommend Chef Chic!

Marco is my HERO. literally the best food Ive eaten. 10 outta 10, eating again
I have been to many parties, meetings ect. where Wendys food was featured and her preparations are always first class.
