I stopped in here for breakfast this morning shortly after they opened at 8 a.m. I ordered the huevos con machaca from the breakfast menu, which came with salsa, refried beans and tortillas (I chose corn). I liked the tortillas, beans and salsa, but the huevos con machaca was too salty. Also, the prices on the menu, though reasonable, are considerably higher than the ones online; they should update their website to show the current prices. Service was good; I was the only customer. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant has a pleasantly colorful decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's small, so probably not ideal for a large group.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I'm always unsure how to write these reviews when things weren't great and really wasn't too bad. We were seated instantly. Drinks were brought quickly. Food was good and the $3.50 for a side of rice which appeared to a small amount. We were checked on, but would be walked by with water glasses on edge ig table for refill... wouldn't even look our way. We will just drive extra miles to go to our Fave Mexican restaurant... read more

First time here and what a pleasant surprise! First off there is ample parking on a busy Friday morning. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was busy, plenty of seating and a chill atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were seated right away & our server was on point! We had the chorizo con juevo plate which was so tasty and flavorful! We loved seeing the tortillas being handmade and actually wanted another order of tortillas. We had a great experience for breakfast and cannot wait to comeback for lunch or dinner. read more

Always have to stop when in Tucson. I love to come here in the winter and get a large bowl of their chicken tortilla soup. It is so good! I came here with family and we all got a large bowl of this soup. There is lots of shredded chicken and there are chunks of potato and carrot in it as well. The melted cheese on top and the crunchy chips in the soup complete the dish. The hours at this location can be off sometimes so be sure to check they are open before you go. read more

Went for breakfast, menudo not warm enough and not enough tripe. The breakfast plates were great, chile colorado and the combo plate was ok, green corn tamale was dry. The tortillas were fantastic! Server was strict. The original Mosaic is much better. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean, cute, unassuming little sit-down restaurant on Tucson's northwest side.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food tasted fresh and the service was attentive without being overbearing. The deal-maker was watching the lady behind the counter making fresh batches of warm, yummy flour tortillas. She'll give you one a fresh off the hot plate for a tip. A wonderful experience. I'll be back! read more

I am constantly in that shopping area but this was my first visit to Mosaic. It was really delicious. Good service and reasonably priced. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is small in there so if they are busy you might have a wait.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My husband and I were impressed. We will be back. read more

the best food I've ever had anywhere. It is the best and me and my dad had quesadillas that die for. And die again.

Horrible slow service and almost every time we go there they are "unfortunately" out of chips and salsa. Really! The food we did get was cold and tasteless. Skip it. Many better choices for MX than this dump. Can't give negative stars or I would. read more

Such a great little place. Hospitality, good food and service. Homemade tortillas. Definitely recommend. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Small and noisy, but can't beat the food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Excellent sauces. Wonderful, fresh tamales.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Always wonderful food and a wonderful atmosphere![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I typically stop by over the weekend and am never disappointed. read more

Service was terrible! We sat there for 20 minutes and she forgot to bring our our drinks and water, then took another 20 minutes to bring a bowl of menudo to my date and forgot to bring my cup. When I inquired she yelled at me "Im getting it, they are still making it" (from the same pot of menudo). Eventually she brought mine but didn't bring the tortillas or burritos we ordered. Had to ask another server for the remainder of our meal. Very disappointing experience. read more

I have been going here for a few years now. I have had breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The atmosphere is more a upscale diner---cafe! with a little bar. It always appears clean. The music makes me wanna go dancing. I have tried multiple items, the tacos, flautas, Huevos rancheros, burritos, even a salad. All have been delicious. I would have to give a special mention to their chips and salsa. I always get extra to take home. Tonight our main server was Louis and helping him was John. Great service, excellent food and drinks. Always a gem to return. read more

Very expensive place for small portions and food was not that great, they have mini-corn tamales but not regular tamales, the enchilada was stuffed with mozzarella cheese ?? No authentic Mexican food. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant was about half full of customers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Two servers were very nice and we had our order taken in less than 5 minutes. Here comes the bad: 50 minutes later to get a plate of tacos, unacceptable! Kitchen is beyond slow, seemed like they had plenty of help but just didn't care. They won't make it if they keep this up, time for a new cook. This isn't the first time this has happened. Been coming here for 20 years because the food is good. Ready to give up. read more

We stopped in about an hour before they closed. Never felt rushed, the staff was friendly and welcoming. They were playing all the JAMS- bad bunny, Karol g, Nicky jam. I liked it. And then the food came out! Mmmm delicious homemade authentic and flavorful! Definitely glad we stopped in to have a fantastic meal! read more

Based off the fact no one greeted us, I cleaned the table myself to help out and they still didn't help us. waited 20 min with hungry kids before giving up .didn't get a chance to try food so I can't rate that looked mid read more

2nd time tried to go 12/4/24 5:30pm. Website says "open" but not answering phones. Closed with no explanation update: hours have changed open to 4pm They are still a great meal read more

Don't expect for them to answer the phone when you call in an order. If you do get lucky enough to get someone to answer, they will put you on hold for 10+ minutes and if you hang up and try to call again they will not answer. This has happened 3 times to me in the last month. read more

Everyone knows South Tucson has the best Mexican Food. I stand by this statement wholeheartedly. Lol With that said I was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled on this gem. Homemade tortillas..enough said. They were so good we tried to buy some but they didn't have any for sale. Everything clean and our food made FRESH. Since our initial visit we've gone back 3 times. The salsa consistently amazing. The perfect level of heat. The service consistently amazing. Fast and they treat you like family. Great place for a family break or dinner date. Try the calabacitas and the Lomo Adobada (#12). You won't be disappointed. Prices are on point! #supportlocal read more

I cannot rate the food the service the ambience because we waited for 15 minutes for the restaurant to open and it didn't open. We asked next-door if the place was going to open and the person in the next-door shop said it's hit or miss. We did see a woman go into the restaurant and I asked her if she was going to open. She said she was going to open at eight. At 8:15 still wasn't open. read more

When have you ever gone to a Mexican restaurant and had to pay for chips & salsa? I asked for mild which used to be really good. This one had no flavor at all! My friend had ground beef tacos which had no flavor either! My carnie asada didn't have much flavor either. The beans & rice we ok. Their quality has really gone way down since the fire! The prices are a bit high! read more

Based on a recommendation of my Airbnb, I tried this place. It's a cute place. I just didn't like the food. My waiter was nice and helpful. I asked for a sangria and they didn't have any. They had run out just seconds before I asked for one. I tried the veggie borro thinking it would be nice, tasty, flavorful veggies. It was not. The veggies will over cooked and mixed with a sauce. Mixed with enough pico and salsa and I ate half of it. read more

Mosaic Cafe Dos - Veggie borro - Mexican Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Great food, spotty service. Had lunch here the other day. Good thing the chips and salsa were fantastic because it took about 1/2 hour for our food to be delivered, and even then the waitress delivered somebody else's meals on the first try. The server tried hard, she was just overwhelmed. I had the Loma Adobado (see photo). It was a very generous serving for lunch, I had to take a nap when I got home.... Terrific flavors though, and their calabacitas are wonderful. The fresh tortillas are a real treat - they are practically a meal in themselves! My wife had a machaca taco and enchilada - the taco was fantastic, the enchilada just OK. We don't come here often enough, because I really like their food. read more

Great place easy to find and plenty of parking! The building is modern and unique with lots of art inside! The food was great! We had typical Mexican breakfast with delicious beans, eggs, fresh tortillas and great salsa! Couldn't ask for better! Will be back soon!! read more

We happened upon Mosaic Cafe Dos on a Sunday afternoon & decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed! I had the chicken tacos. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and took center stage on my plate; no filling up space with sides. My husband had the beef fajitas, which he said were very well prepared, as well. It's a little bit out of our way, but worth it! read more

This is one of my boyfriends favorite places in Tucson. He was born and raised in Tucson so I'd say he's been around the area and has tried his fair share of places. One of my favorite parts of this restaurant was the artistic look and feel of the place. Inside there are hanging papel picado and the walls and tables are even full of art. This is truly a local Tucson restaurant and you can feel it the moment you step inside. The best thing I can recommend to anyone, is their hot chocolate. We came on Sunday for brunch and it looks like it might be a Sunday special, I hope you make it out here on a Sunday if that is true because I would hate to miss the opportunity to try this. My boyfriend had the great idea of adding Baileys, which was a good addition but truthfully even just plain this hot chocolate would still be the best thing I've tried. The food was good I got the breakfast mole enchiladas, I thought it would come with cheese but it's only egg so I would recommend adding cheese. As well, it only comes with beans so I would ask for half beans and half rice next time. Another great aspect of the restaurant is that it has a great view. read more

The food is great, If you can catch them while they are open. Multiple times we have loaded into the car, only to find they are randomly closed at 5:30 on a day they claim to be open. Call ahead before trying to dine. read more

I love their food and have for years but ... their hours have changed and IT MAKES NO SENSE. It seems that their daily hours end at 4 PM. NO DINNER SERVICE! What the .... ???? read more

Ordered the tostadas, the beans were watery and I did not like it. Took 2 bites, when the waiter came over I said that it just wasn't good and he said okay. He brought our check and I asked if he could take the food off the table and off of the check, and he came back and said that that's the way the dish was supposed to be. I said okay, I did not like it and did not eat it. He then states that more than half of the dish was gone, which was a blatant lie. and when I told him that no, I had maybe eaten 10% he backtracked and said that he can do it this time but not next time. I said I won't be back here next time. I understand not wanting to lose a sale but I also work in a restaurant & I know not to treat customers that way. the experience was just sad. read more

Really love this place, especially for breakfast or takeout. Have dined here many times and went there for breakfast the other day with my mom and brother and decided to finally formally review it. One of the best parts of this place is the service--it is the most polite and respectful service that I have ever experienced, almost to the point where it's a little too much. Every server that I've had always thanks you, even after you say thank you, which is definitely nice, but like I said sometimes it's a little over the top. Other than that, the service is always prompt and friendly and they're very good about refilling drinks, especially coffee. For breakfast, they offer Mexican and American styles and you must go with the Mexican options. I usually get the huevos con machaca; I really love the meat and their tortillas are delicious. You can sometimes see them making the tortillas fresh in house. They also offer huge burros for breakfast which my brother is a big fan of. Their coffee is also delicious, tastes kind of chocolatey. The atmosphere is chill and they have a bar and a couple of TVs. I've never been here for dinner so I'm not sure if it gets super hectic, but I highly recommend this place for breakfast! read more

So everyone kept telling me that I had to try this spot and I finally understand why. The food and service was awesome. One thing that has concerned me in the past with the South American/ Mexican flavors is their dishes tend to be spicier than I'm comfortable with. The dish I had was flavorful with just a bit of heat, a very balanced plate that I'd definitely order again and their home made tortillas were delicious. read more

We went for breakfast. We go out once every two weeks for eggs. I had a chorizo and cheese omlet and my wife had huevos rancheros. Both were really good and the accompaniments were excellent. The service was efficient and attentive. The ambiance left me indifferent. Overall, it was a good experience. The big negative for me is I prefer American breakfast food and that side of the menu wasn't worth considering, boring. Why don't I like Mexican breakfast? Too many carbs for my health. Still, if you want to go, sure I'm in. By the way, servings are quite good sized. read more

Mosaic Cafe Dos - I had expected stronger coffee. Very mild. - Mexican Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

This is our favorite local and authentic Mexican food restaurant. We eat there at least once every two weeks: breakfast, lunch or dinner. The service can be a little slow when the cafe is full; however, the homemade - to order - corn and flour tortillas are well worth the wait! The employees could not be nicer or more polite. The portions are perfect for us (although they may not be as large as the big chain Mexican restaurant further on down on Ina); but the prices are great, and totally appropriate for what you get. P.S. Having lived in Torreon, MX, San Diego, CA, and Albuquerque, NM, I am very choosy about my Mexican food! read more

We came in Saturday around 5:30. So busy with orders to go, a few tables were full. We were acknowledged and served chips and drink order was taken. The 2 employees were so busy. The man who took care of us was fabulous! Working orders, clearing tables, answering the phone, checking guests out. My husband and I were so impressed, we will definitely be back. It may have taken "longer" but well worth it. We have been to "few" places where employees are proud and willing to work. The food was wonderful ( thank you to the cook!) We highly recommend this restaurant. When you go, please be patient. It's well worth the wait! read more
