When I'm in Tucson I always try and eat here. I left Tucson 16 years ago for Los Angeles and haven't been able to find chicken mole as good as CPC. I brought my parents on my last visit and we had an amazing meal. Everything is fresh and has terrific flavor. Good margaritas.

Service very good, food not so. Very expensive for what you get, especially Mexican food. I agree with another reviewer about salad on the entre plate. That's ridiculous. We've been meaning to try it and we did. Once is enough.

My favorite rest. in Tucson. An absolute must when I am in Tucson once a year. I highly recommend the "Plato Poca Cosa", the chefs choice of 3 smaller portions from the nights entrees. 20 plus years dating back to their old location and I have never been disappointed.

This is not a customer friendly restaurant. A large group of us had dinner there on Oct. 27/10. I had the chicken with chocolate sauce and it was on the same plate as the salad, making it impossible to eat the salad without getting mixed with chocolate sauce. The salad was in huge chunks - had to pick it up in my fingers. The waiter took the orders from our table first but served our second table first. Figuring out the bill was a nightmare. The waiter would not give separate checks - he agreed to a billing for 4 - 2 of us had no wine and 2 of us had wine and we all had different choices. On top of that, he charged a 20% tip! His service was not worth it. I didn't feel that we were treated like good paying customers in this very expensive restaurant. The food/service was not the quality for the price charged. Sorry, but I can't recommend your restaurant to anyone. Jean Robinson, Victoria, B.C.

This restaurant was recommended by several people when one of our visitors made reference to a Tucson visit on his Facebook page. What a wonderful find! A vibrant ambience with interesting decor. Four of us each had something different and they were all fabulous. Not traditional Mexican fare, but creative flavorful creations using fresh southwestern ingredients with beautiful presentation. It's become my local favorite! I can hardly wait to go back again.

SMOKE AND MIRRORS

Fair tasting buffet food heaped on plates in an otherwise beautiful environment. Don't bother.

The Best in Town

This is not just a restaurant, its a culinary adventure. The menu changes daily so you can always be surprised. The chef is creative and friendly--she goes around to the tables to talk to the guests and to ensure they are happy with their meals. That is fabulous customer service. The atmosphere of the new Poca Cosa is very metropolitan (like a New York bar) but much quieter than the old location. I prefer the atmosphere of the old, but not the noise. I take family members who are visiting out of town to this restaruant and everyone raves. The food and service are top notch. This is my favorite restaurant EVER! 5 Stars!

Love at first bite

I am a Tucson native but have had the opportunit to travel to many countries and states. Cafe Poca Cosa is a unique restaurant that has a great atmosphere and the food made me wish I had an extra stomach to fill up. If you want a treat go and order the Poca Cosa Plate. You will not be sorry

Delicious food, interesting and unusual variations on Mexican dishes, as well as good service.

Only negative is the noise level when it is busy. Reservations are necessary.

A local favorite of mine

always fantastic food, changed daily according to ingredient availability, not your typical "mexican" fare - ask for the sampler platter and get a surprise every time
