    Absolutely loved this place! Food was incredible, including the free chips and salsa. Our server was amazing and we loved her. Plenty of seating. We sat outside and it was very comfortable. Would absolutely be back!

    Food and service are always great. One exception, the skinny margarita was not great.

    Honestly, I stopped here on a whim after shopping at la encantada and I was pleasantly surprised. Service was on point. My food came so fast. The busser greeted me with water immediately. The server made recommendations. My food came out in less than 5 mins. I did order a drink with a tajin rim amd they brought it with salt. The server noticed on his own amd brought me a cup with tajin and apologized. I really appreciated that they paid attention to the mistake amd made it right. I got the machaca burrito amd it was SO good. The inside is adorable with good vibes. The patio has sisters and a view. Im so happy I stopped in here.

    Oh what a treat after a great hike. My friend and I were craving some margs and ceviche after a good 6 mile hike and we definitely picked the correct place. Their ceviche was so good I ordered it twice. You cant go wrong with their margaritas. I ordered classic and it was made to perfection! It was such a lovely day to sit on their terrace with a view(February in Tucson!) Service was as good as I remembered from the last time I was there

    Birria Tacos

    Amazing food and an amazing happy hour. We showed just in time and got the Jalapeño Prickle Pear Margarita and a Red Sangria for the happy hour. Service was awesome and they were able to get us a table sooner than expected. It was a little packed as it is during a happy hour, but our experience was still very good. I recommend happy hour for the best drinks and apps.

    Cadillac margarita
    Betsy B.

    Their food is very good. I especially love the Cadillac margarita and the short rib macho bowl. The chips are crispy and Salsa adds to the taste. The short rib meant was very tender and the mix of flavors was just right. We were seated outside at the one table without covering and when it started to rain, we were moved quickly to a table that was not exposed to the weather. They had the heaters on which was helpful and appreciated. It is usually very busy but they do take reservations. We really enjoyed the meal.

    Carnitas Tacos & Guacamole

    Great atmosphere, service and food. Surprisingly good amount of food for happy hour - highly recommend!

    The atmosphere here is so nice. It's relaxed and very open. The service is also great with a friendly staff. I orders the mahi tacos and the elote along with the Texas ranch water. Everything was good and I highly recommend enjoying an afternoon here.

    We came for Sonoran Restaurant Week. $35 for 2, 3 course meal. Fabulous deal. 1st course we ordered the warm queso which is so delicious as are their chips and salsa. The perfect chip texture. Not to thick. 2nd course I ordered the Caramelized sweet potato enchiladas. Very good. Again a large portion. 3rd course was the Mexican chocolate tiramisu . Perfect ending to a great meal. Our waitress Maylie was an absolute delight. The only negative was how extremely loud it is. It was PACKED! They do offer patio seating. The decor is very interesting and colorful. They offer local beers. This is the perfect place to bring OUT-OF-TOWNERS!!

    Short Rib Machaca
    Kaela S.

    The food is always good, the service is always so quick and extremely friendly, and the vibes are always off the charts!! On top of that, they have deeelicious margaritas. Blanco is a great dinner spot if you're dining for a date or with a big group. Everything I've eaten here is amazing and I definitely need to keep coming back to try everything on the menu. The items that stood out the most to me most recently were the house-made guacamole and street corn (I love street corn!). The portions are super generous and served with their super buttery rice and your choice of black or charro beans. I had to take my food home, but it was so good I had it for lunch the next day.

    What a great place to atone for a quick bite and delicious drinks! The patio has a beautiful View but a little hot for summer. Inside was very modern with plenty of Mexican flare. The bartender was attentive and made a delicious Paloma. The guacamole was delectable and fresh. The taquitos were fresh and crispy without feeling too fried. Definitely will come back!

    Margarita Tree
    Sarah M.

    So so too. Food was amazing, staff were helpful, restaurant was cutely decorated and clean. I'll definitely come back!

    Michael G.

    One of the best happy hour, outdoor patio, sunset combinations in Tucson. Make sure you make a Rez. Excellent service per usual.

Love the wall of chianti bottles that lead to the bar and love that the staff dress up in casual Prohibition garb. Came here for girl's night and it was everyone's first time even at the restaurant but mine. I'd had dinner a couple times in the restaurant for my birthday and had the cheese wheel fettuccine alfredo. I asked if anyone was interested in trying it and so 3 of us split it which ended up being pretty perfect. It is hands down THE BEST fettuccine alfredo. We had many drinks come to our table, the first round being the homemade limoncello. Made with local Meyer lemons, it is deliciously potent. A must try. The bartender, Ryan or Brian, he made cocktails from the heart. A couple of gals ordered "dealer's choice" drinks and they were inspired by the drinker's stories. It was really a unique experience for them and I could almost see his mind working out the chemistry of the libations. Another must try, although I didn't because I had to drive myself home. I did have a coffee with Bailey's, Amaretto, and freshly-made whipped cream. Last must try if not on a coffee drink maybe on a dessert. One person in our party thought that the drinks were on the spendy side. Many of the ingredients were house made and all top shelf. I'm from Los Angeles so an $18 drink was a normal night at the klerb. Worth mentioning if that would be a deal breaker. Worth a go. I thought it was better than the speakeasy at the Sonoran House which was too bright and not intimate. You really like feel more like you're not where you're supposed to be at The Still. There is a curio cabinet with cigars that I think are for sale. The speakeasy opens up to the patio for all the smoke suckers. Great for a small groups or date night, maybe not the first date.

The whole ambiance in here is incredible. It's bright and sunny outside but it's dark and moody inside Cabali. The lighting in here really helps set the tiki mood. To drink I got the desertcomber (essentially an old fashioned) and my husband got the shoreline spritz (non alcoholic). Yes, the drinks are expensive but they pack a punch! We paired our drinkies with an order of the coconut shrimp. These were really good! Would order again.

He was extremely knowledgeable about the drinks and the history behind the place, including the artwork created by someone from the University of Arizona's art department. We loved hearing the stories behind all the details. Alex ordered the Desert Comber, and I had the Painkiller. Both drinks were phenomenal--and very strong, which made them even more phenomenal-om-om-om! We also shared the shishito peppers, which were delicious. The entire experience was unique, fun, and memorable. It truly feels like you've escaped Tucson and entered another world.

When we entered the restaurant, I was immediately impressed with all of the accolades that Amelia's Kitchen seems to have accrued over the years. Maybe that set my expectations too high. We made a reservation, which I highly recommend, so we were quickly seated. but it did take a bit for someone to actually come and greet us and take our drink orders after being sat down. Then it was probably another 40 minutes before we actually got our food. I'm not sure if it was this lag time that affected the food quality, but several of my items were just lukewarm and some even cold? The star of the show was definitely, the molcajete. This came out sizzling and full to the brim with shrimp, nopales, chicken, asada, cheese, and lots of other goodies. In hindsight, I probably should've ordered one for myself. I went with the chicken mole enchiladas. Again, the sauce was okay but not super spicy, and it was a little cold, as was my side of rice and beans. We also ordered the mini birria chimis to share. and these were just OK, they tasted like frozen food. Overall, if you come here, I highly recommend getting the molcajete, but can't really vouch for any other items. Maybe we'll try it again on a less busy night.
