    Fish Ceviche
    Alyssa G.

    I always forget the name of this restaurant because it doesn't have a big sign or lit sign outside but as my second time eating here, I google the Mexican restaurant downtown on broadway lol. I love the dim intimate atmosphere. The service is always 100 percent. Very friendly and always checking up on the table and removing finished dishes to keep table clean. This was my second time eating here and their cocktails are deliciously well crafted and unique. The guacamole and the 3 salsas are very tasty especially the green salsa that's tangy, it mixes well with the guacamole. Last time we just had tacos and they were delicious but this time I wanted to try something different. The bone marrow was out of this world!! I wish it was a dinosaur marrow cuz I would have honestly made that my meal lol. The chimichurri was on the side was good but it took away from the rich flavor of the fatty marrow. I think a bit of parsley sprinkled on top would have been great instead. Tue crostini bead on the side was a little too toasted where it was kinda hard to bite through and made more of a mess lol. I skipped the bread thereafter. I got the chile relleno which had meat inside along with black beans and corn and rice. looked amazing on top of a bed of rice and covered in white cheese which was perfect and not too much. The only issue I had was that the rice was that puffy/minute rice and I can't stand when Mexican restaurants use that especially nice restaurants when they could just use regular long grain rice and it look and taste better. There's no flavor in that puffy rice and it was a lot of it. Regardless i just ate the chile relleno and i also ordered the fish ceviche which was my favorite from the first visit. Great place for a quiet intimate date night and the bar is available if you just wanna sit and have drinks . Overall i give it 2 Foxxy thumbs up!!

    Penca is a cool spot that I don't consider going to often enough. It's dressed up Mexican food from the CDMX area as I understood. Came in with some friends and split some appetizers. The yellow tail special appetizer with corn purée was awesome and the queso was delicious. The place is very cool and dark so it's a great place for date night or a special occasion. The service was good, but our server was MIA for a bit so we had to flag down another person to get help. I definitely need to eat here more often.

    Not sure how this restaurant got on my radar, but we made the trek downtown from Vail to try it as we are always up for Mexican food. It is what my Hispanic husband refers to as 'fancy Mexican food'. The restaurant is very spacious with high ceilings and a nice large outdoor area for seating (not sure if it is pup friendly or not). We made a rez, but it was not necessary for an early dinner on a Thursday. We had a really nice server, Basil, who was attentive and on top of things. We ordered the Guacamole appetizer that came with 3 additional salsas, the NY strip and a fish taco with a cup of their poblano rice. The guacamole was great, as were the salsas... the spiciest one was not too over the top spicy. The chips were really good and seemed freshly made. I enjoyed my fish taco, made with Rock fish and it sat on a nice hearty corn tortilla. I call that out since many time with corn, they are so thin they fall apart. It was very good, the rice was okay and nothing to write home about as they say. My husband enjoyed his steak but he did say, while prepared perfectly, it just lacked a robust flavor (whatever that means). All in all we enjoyed our dinner, it was good. Prices are reflective of the level of restaurant... a smidge high for what you get but honestly with inflation where it is right now I totally get it. I did order a red sangria which was $14 and mostly ice so that was most definitely overpriced given the glass size.

    We came here for date night on a Saturday and we were impressed with the food, vibes, and service. The restaurant instantly transported me to an old hacienda in Mexico. The staff is very attentive and friendly. We didn't wait long for our food and the prices are fair. The food was delicious. I can't remember the name our dishes but my husband had the chile relleno and I had the costillas with hominy. The meat I had was the most tender, juicy, and delicious meat I've had in a while. We also had the chicharrones as an appetizer and it was served with a spicy salsa that tasted homemade which is my favorite. For dessert I had the 3 leches cake and it was the perfect amount of sweetness. We will definitely be coming back for dinner and date night soon.

    Pretty expensive for what I would describe as standard, unimpressive Mexican food. The menu was kind of hard to read and I would have appreciated if it had been more clear what dishes were spicy. Both the chicharrones and ceviche were spicy which I was not prepared for and did not appreciate. My favorite part ended up being the jardinero drink which was light and refreshing, but definitely boozy. Service was accommodating when I needed to switch from an outdoor to an indoor table due to the heat.

    I've been reading reviews and was eager to try this adorable little restaurant downtown. The vibe is spectacular... Their outdoor patio is adorable even though it is right on Broadway. The service was phenomenal, the Mescalita margarita was yummy and the guacamole and chips was also fantastic. The mains however, we're a little disappointing. We had heard so much hype, I was expecting a phenomenal meal, but it was so so. We had the chile relleno and several tacos... None of which was anything to write home about. Not bad, but not worth the hype. We did enjoy their homemade churros at the end of our meal, which were delightful. I'll probably give this place another shot, but on my first visit it didn't live up to expectations.

    I came back for dinner on Saturday night with a different group, and the fish was much better this time. The seared market fish was delicious--I loved everything about it. Since it's an expensive dish, I do wish the portion of Mahi Mahi had been larger. The carne asada, pescado, and rajas y papas tacos were all tasty, though two of them were quite spicy. The tacos themselves are very small. The chips and guacamole were too salty. I didn't like the white sangria at all--it had an odd buttery taste. On the upside, I really enjoyed the Jardinero cocktail this time, and the jicama was just as smooth and smoky as before.

    The ambiance was perfect. Great date night in downtown. Vegan & Gluten free options . I will be a repeat customer for sure .

    We had a nice time at pence. It makes an impression as you walk up, under the Mexican flags and the hostess greets you on the side walk. We had a reservation and they put us at a lovely corner table against the window. It was perfect. Our server was extremely helpful and friendly, although it felt like he checked in with us a bit too often to see how things were and it chat in general. The drinks were really good. Unique flavor profile. The food was mixed for me. Chips & salsa come complimentary. We ordered queso to go with it but I didn't love it. It wasn't very dip-able. More like quesadilla cheese that was melted and I had to cut to put in my tortilla. I ordered the short rib with goat cheese hominy which was just so big and bold and after 1/4 of the dish I was tired of it and wish I ordered something else. Overall, pleasant time but wish I had different food choices. I'm glad we went but I probably wouldn't come back.

    Pozole Blanco

    We were downtown for a show at Arizona Theatre Company and decided to grab a bite at Penca first. Since we planned on appetizers, we sat at the bar. I ordered guacamole and esquites, which turned out to be a meal! Penca serves their corn tortilla chips with several fresh salsas, and I enjoyed trying different mixtures of guac and salsa, guac and esquites, and esquites and salsa. My partner ordered pozole blanco, which also was meal-sized. He enjoyed it and also tried the different salsas with chips. When we arrived, we were the only ones at the bar, and we received attentive service while we were there. The space has a blend of wood and metal finishes for a modern, sophisticated look. We'll go to Penca again when we're downtown for another show.

    Wow, five stars, Penca! The yummiest, freshest ingredients paired with skill and ambiance creates a phenomenal dinner experience. Our server was a delight and the drinks came out perfect, I favored the gin cocktail. This is downtown Tucsons gem for a belly warming romantic date or business meeting at the bar for drinks.

    Bone
    Mardiz D.

    I ordered one appetizer Bone Marrow - it was really good. ( you need to acquire the taste and know how to enjoy it LoL- but first - Tate the top part with a spoon and let the salt touch your paladar fist then en hoy by small portions. Both pieces were deliciosos ) know that this is an appetizer so one bone will bring 4 small spoons ). Entry : chile relleno : flavor/taste was good. Salsa was good ( too much salsa for my taste but that's easy just to move over to the side ) meat was good - soft and good Taste. Chile cover was to thin for my taste. I like to taste the Chile - green outer part - and combine with the inside. But overall it was good. Dessert: churros - well! For me taste those were not the bomb flavor that I was expecting on my mouth BUT putting that aside- I focus on the taste and texture and it was good with the caramel and chocolate. I will say - if you have a pre conception of flavor then remove that and be open to try a new flavor and texture for this churros. Overall those are good but you need to acquire the taste. Ambiance is good and service was excellent t for my experience. 20% service charge was match. Drink : i tried lemonade. Same as churro review. $$$ above was below $80s for one person

    Sonoran restaurant week menu
    Brinny S.

    I came here with a friend for Sonoran restaurant week a couple weeks ago and we decided to try the fixed menu. The evening started off really well with friendly service and a nice quiet atmosphere for dinner. Their outdoor patio seating is nice. We got complimentary chips and salsa, which were great. The chips weren't overly salty and the salsa had a nice flavor. The starter for the restaurant week menu was roasted carrots on cashew crema, and it was not like anything I've had before. The carrots were sweet and a mix of soft and crunch. The crema added a really nice flavor, so the dish as a whole worked really well and was probably my favorite! I chose the salad next, which was a mixed organic greens salad with an assortment of nuts and seeds. It had a hunk of a corn on the cob that was a strange addition to the salad. It seemed to be more for garnish. I didn't love the salad and didn't finish it. My friend and I both ordered the coconut poached sea bass, but there was a mixup with our orders and they forgot to make our entrees initially, so we ended up waiting over an hour and a half for our entrees! That was frustrating, but when we did finally get our sea basses, they were alright. The menu said it came with calabacitas, but it was more garnish-looking. The size of the sea bass was pretty large so it was a lot of food. It was not my favorite part of the meal, but by this point I just wanted some food! I finished the meal with the churro dessert. It came with two dipping sauces, the chocolate one I didn't like. But the churros themselves were fresh, hot, and crisp, when were great. It was a nice way to end the meal. Overall, I think this was a good restaurant week menu. The mixup with the entrees was disappointing, but it was a lot of food, and I think a good value for the $55 price.

It's a fun and also elegant atmosphere with the zebra theme clearly exemplified across the space. I would have to say this is one of the coziest bars I've been to, the furniture and seating is really supportive of a long-term visit. There are other levels, lower and an upper level besides the main space, but be aware that if there are parties, they can typically take up different areas. Our bartender, Sarah was fantastic! The way that she handled all of the guests and the busy field was incredible, so calm and collected, and furthermore making some really incredible drinks. Heads up that the online drink menu is not the current drink menu, I couldn't remember all the names of our drinks and put those in the photo captions, so when I checked on the website, the menu was showing something different other than what I saw at the bar. Out of several places I've been to, I'd say the mixture of flavors and details in the drinks are quite unique. I'll be back for more one day

We are both on a mezcal discovery kick and ordered the Black Cathedral ($16) and the Girl Dinner ($16). Each was as described (pic) and delicious. We had dinner plans and needed to leave at 5:15 - just as things were picking up. We'll definitely be back sooner.

I enjoy some challenging textures and flavors for the sake of experiences. What I tried over 2.5 hours: -Nixtamalized Barrel cactus fruit aged in ash with chiltepin jam and chiltepin leaves preserved in vinegar. I liked it- sweet and smokey. The barrel fruit was a tad fibrous. -Refried tepary beans with wolfberry and a green powder of globe mellow salsa verde. The powder was tart and yummy. The tepary beans tasted fairly simple. The dried cactus was nice- reminded me of kale chips. The tortillas of my friend's omni menu were very soft and pliable. -Yakitori: Barrel cactus fruit with candied Tohono O'odham Ha:l Squash,mesquite tare and marinated cholla buds reduction from last year's cholla, topped with jojoba seeds. This was a fave. -Maitake with corn rib and desert botanical bonchons. I thought the name might have referred to Banchan, the small Korean side plates of kimchi etc since there was kimchi in one of the bites on the plate but it was spelled Bonchon, "my hometown" in Korean. The heirloom corn vegemite bite was umami as expected. The snail shaped amaranth leaves white kimchi bite was tart, bold and delicious. The corn rib bite was topped with pickled yucca bud pieces on top- I loved getting to try that and loved the flavor and texture of it. A sunflower head "brisket" bite was really interesting and I enjoyed the brisket flavoring that was achieved here. The texture felt fitting for it too and it seemed clever. Likely a challenging bite for some with the flower flavors and texture in the end. The amaranth dumpling bite was filled with something else made from amaranth I didn't catch. The last bite of this plate was the Maitake mushroom with palo verde- delish. -Raw Nopal with preserved amaranth pico de gallo with agave pulque -blackened agave frozen granita with pico de gallo and pressed coriander ironwood emulsion. Vinegary and refreshing- Big hit. -Kaiseki: cactus bud, three sisters stew, cowpea and ironwood blossom. We were also given a complimentary Non- Alcoholic beverage with it: a chilled palo verde Pu-erh fermented tea. It had a light fizzy feel. LOVED the drink and it balanced the saltiness of the stew. The broth that the waiter added to the stew at the table was overly salted but the stew was good and was more filling than the other dishes so far. I liked the meaty texture of the ironwood flower. This course came with a tostada topped with refried tepary beans and prickly pear tunas and with young cactus in salt bush emulsion. -Wolfberry sorbet- served beautifully. Very sweet and single note.The waiter said the wolfberries on top were pickled and I wish I tasted pickled flavor because it would have provided balance. I tried my companions roasted Huuñ Ga'i sherbet with kombucha soaked corn and preserved amaranth flowers and enjoyed it more than the wolfberry sorbet. -Wildflowers-Cactus sorbet with frosted amaranth leaves and cactus marmalade. I would have enjoyed it more if it didn't come right after the overly sweet wolfberry sorbet. It was more balanced but I really was sweetened-out. It had some medicinal notes but was interesting. I liked the cactus marmalade pieces. I like the leaves that were super crispy but some were heavily frosted with sugar. I LOVED my companion's Wildflowers dessert. It was a warm miso cake with mesquite, brittlebush curd and cactus marmalade.The mesquite really came through here wonderfully. -Pimachata: Candied squash and aerated squash. Was craving something savory now but luckily this one was less sweet and more balanced. My companion seemed to enjoy her goat cheese ice cream. With the check, came two sticks with mesquite gummies.I love mesquite but this again was a tad too sweet now. The least positive part for me was the service. I was surprised that a place with a focus of introducing people to food of the desert they might not know about would not have the servers engage when someone seems very interested, like me. No written menu/ description was given during the meal and I tried my best to write down notes as the waiter was listing the descriptions extremely quickly in a rehearsed way without engaging with us and without slowing down much when asked. I asked for an extra note card and he gave me a blank receipt. The most confusing part was that they ended up bringing us a printed menu with the dishes listed when we finished the full meal. We were so flabbergasted as to why he wouldn't mention it was coming when I was writing notes or even better provided it at the start. It felt that the servers were very focused on doing a rehearsed part instead of engaging meaningfully. I was very happy with my pay-what- you-wish experience and I experienced all of this like art viewing. So cool getting to try so many local desert plants!

Staff were all very kind and never seemed annoyed with the dog (you can always tell at a restaurant if they are, and they were very happy to accommodate him). Very dog friendly!! The food: We gotta talk about their French onion soup. It was pretty dang delicious! The broth itself is quite nice, a nice cheese portion, and the baguette was divine. I also had their French Connection sandwich (with a side of fries), and it had a great combo of ooey, gooey cheese, firm and flavorful ham, and served on a really delicious loaf. Really solid fries, too. We didn't end up getting any drinks but saw several people ordering yummy looking bites. If (but likely when) we come back to Tucson, I'm making a point to return to Cup Cafe!
