   Food was good. Received most of what I ordered. Food was good. Only salsa with chis was spicy. Rest would not offend my midwestern neighbors. Table next to us had frequently screaming toddler. Would have been nice to be initially seated away from the screaming.

   Honestly, it was awful. We made reservations based on what we read. We arrived 10 mins early. They sat us about 15-20 mins after our reserved time. It took the waiter 15 mins to even acknowledge us. After, another 15 for my husband to get his drink and a solid 30 more before they delivered mine, and it was wrong and did not taste good (I did attempt to just drink it) . We ordered an appetizer, our meals, and asked for water a second time 30 mins after asking the first time. We watched a table leave, get cleaned and 4 people sit down. The same waiter took their order and immediately brought waters to the table. It was then we decided to leave. We walked up to pay for our drinks, one of which was too sweet to consume, and watched as they passed us with our food. No appetizer and still no water. When the leader or manager asked us what was wrong the waiter replied "it's over water". At that time I explained the situation and again attempted to pay for the drinks, which were not worth anything, when the leader or manager looked at us and said "just go". I am sure their food is great and they will not miss our business, but if you live in Tucson I am also sure that there's just as good of food and WAY better service down the road. Not worth your hard earned money. Would not return. Would give zero stars if an option. PS. The single bathroom was also borderline unsanitary with a sink faucet that seemed like it was about to fall out of the wall.

   Enjoy awesome food! Have been meaning to go, seeing all the reviews. Service is attentive, personable, yet unobtrusive. They have another location at 5851 N. Oracle and an affiliated location at 6671 N. Thornydale, Humo. Flavors are far better than the blandly common elsewhere. Barria amazingly falls apart in your mouth hardly needing the caldo. It is creamier and richer than pho, they even have caldo Ramen! The tacos... pastore was tangy, the chicken was the juiciest, everything was a flavor bomb. Go! You'll be spoiled and feel all others are sub-par. -Retired Chef-

   We came for brunch before UA graduation. Our experience was great. But we had a party of seven and the food took a while.  the dishes came out one by one and spread out so far that the first person had finished by the time the last person got their dish. Otherwise, terrific food, and the server offered to free mimosas as an apology.

    Arrived 10 minutes late and told they couldn’t hold reservation, food and service ok, nothing special. With so many options for good Mexican food in Tucson the small menu options doesn’t compete with other local favorites.
