    Based on an upcoming event scheduled there, four of us decided to try the restaurant beforehand. The decor, ambience, service, and food was great.

    Wow! I can’t  believe we have lived in Tucson almost 11 years and just found out about this place. Everything is amazing from the food to the ambience to all the staff. We had a 545 reservation and unfortunately did not get seated until 620, but it was so worth the wait. The woman handling all the traffic to check in, get on the list, and pick up carry out was wonderful. She kept calm and never seemed confused. We will be back at this restaurant for sure.

    Chef Contreras makes delicious Sonoran dishes. The food was wonderful as usual. The salsas are so rich and complex. The noise level is quite low out on the patio at 4:30pm. Indoors is much louder so i prefer the outdoor tables.

    The food was excellent and service was excellent as well. The only downside was the fact that they use tapwater for the water they bring to the table and for brewing their iced tea. They really need to invest in a water filtration system

    Love that we're greeted with chips and TWO salsas! The menu is intriguing and ambitious. Chef Jose deserves the recognition he's received from Jame Beard foundation. Service is pleasant, professional and they are on top of it! Can't believe we shared two desserts, both delicious: tres leche cake and chocolate flan.
