Updated review of long time local favorite Poco & Moms . It's been since before Covid era that I've been back although I do enjoy their New Mexican style green hatch chili styled options . Stopping during busy day helping neighbor friend recovering from orthopedic surgery we found accessibility parking on the west or Sw side of building to the avoid several steps in front. With a separate bar are in front , a separate dining area inside which opens to a " lovely patio outside we were able to be seated during lunch . Big menu , breakfast , lunch , dinner with many choices . Neighbor had posole which she said was pork based but tasty / filling . I went with my favorite 2 chili rellenos with the rich green chili sour cream sauce ( 3 different choices) , refried beans , calabacitas , & flour tortilla. The rellenos are tasty with the rich sour cream green chile sause, beans, & rustic cut calabacitas It's consistently still very good . The staff & servers very friendly and attentive , even the cook ! Long time Tucson sports journalist Steve Rivera from SAnte Fe ,NM ( whom I'm a loyal afternoon listener to his " eye on the ball " 1450 am local sports talk shown m-f 3-5 pm ) touts this as his favorite Tucson restaurant reminding him of home which says it all ! Big menu including big diverse breakfast option too . One last challenge was only on shared bathroom & second was a long steep climb up long stairs to two very dated restrooms upstairs ( surprised to see Tucson lifestyles magazines offices there ) . That would be the only criticism but with an older building the only other restroom option. My neighbor friend happy with the posole ,filling & didn't have to wait at lunch time. Happy to return to this local favorite with unique tasty unique New Mexican style cuisine . Try it ! read more

Average overall is the best way to describe it. Sat outside and the ambience was great. Service was also good, no complaints. Food was around average for Tucson Mexican I'd say. Margaritas were above average; wife got the prickly pear and I got the green chile and we both liked them. Chips and salsa were average. They did cost $2, but it was a big bowl and we got a free refill so no complaints from me. My entree is the main way this place fell flat. I tried the three combo plate and it was pretty much 0/3. The relleno and tacos and meat were all just very bland. Not bad, just not something I would want again. read more

The Good: The entire New Mexican vibe: Hatch Green Chile Heaven! The Hatch Margarita was refreshing & spicy at the same time! Loved sitting outdoors by the water fountain under the umbrella! Our server, Alyssa was good. Now for the painful Bad: The meats in both the Red Pork Burro & Enchilada were mediocre-no outstanding taste and dry. I'm glad I ordered a side of green sauce ($1.99) to moisten and spice them both up. Yes, they were large portions, but I wasn't sure if we wanted to bring them home (we did so we could improve them with more salsa). This spot came highly recommended from a local, but they come for the breakfast specials. read more

We knew they had a beautiful patio for dining, so we decided to go there for lunch. Turns out all the tables with umbrellas were taken, so we sat in the room just off the patio, with the big doors wide open, so it was still ok. Their menu is extensive, with something for everyone. I ordered a combo plate with a shredded beef enchilada and a chili relleno. I got the calabacitas as my side. Service was friendly and attentive. read more

New Mexico-style Mexican food, which means Hatch green chiles everywhere--and I'm not mad about it. I ordered the carne asada and eggs plate and it absolutely hit. The steak was cooked perfectly, full of flavor, and the portions were generous, especially for a $15 dish. Scrambled eggs, refried beans, and a warm medium tortilla rounded it out into a really satisfying meal. Service was also great--our waiter was super friendly and on top of refills for water, iced tea, and coffee. All around, a solid experience and a place I'd happily come back to. read more

The patio by the fountain was really nice. Our server was very friendly and helpful. The taco was very good. The pork and beef in both of the dishes were a little dry and lacking flavor. We did help it out by purchasing a side of green chiles. The beans were good but the rice wasn't really great. read more

This place quickly became a top 5 for New Mexican cuisine. Haven't found good New Mexican food ( love hatch chiles) outside of New Mexico... but today we did! I appreciate the generous use of green chile and the potent flavoring of all their dishes (ps the red chile sauce is legit). The green chile fries had a bite from the chile.... and packed with flavor. The complimentary chips and salsa were enjoyed at the table as that salsa is a pretty good stand alone condiment! Reasonable prices and large quantities of food. Service was awesome... our server was totally friendly, attentive and had a positive vibe. The restaurant itself is a lot bigger than it looks from the road with two levels and a lovely outdoor patio for dining. It's a great place to bring guests visiting as well. Definitely going back and highly recommend. read more

Great spot for New Mexican style food. We both went with the combination plates. I chose the calabacitas as my side, and felt good about myself for that, but in all honesty the refried beans and rice was the better way to go. Loved everything in the combo, but the sour cream enchilada sauce on the relleno, was the star! Chips and salsa were amazing! AND they had root beer! Our server, Amanda, couldn't have been better. The ambience was typical of Mexican restaurants, colorful, and comfortable. I'm so glad we finally tried it! read more

Great food and service, can get very crowded though. Eating outside on the patio is the best , listening to the birds and the fountain.

I've driven by this place too many times and we finally stopped in for brunch on a Saturday. I'm super happy we stopped here. The space is open and airy. The vibe is friendly The staff is attentive and friendly. Great selection of local and Mexican dishes on the menu. We ate inside on this visit but I would definitely eat outside as long as the monsoon isn't doing its thing. I look forward to going back. Not a single complaint. read more

We have been going here for years and loved it. We mainly go for their excellent chile rellenos because of the thin breading, which allows you to primarily taste the chile. Lately however, the breading on the relleno is so thick that it's hard to find the chile: I had to scrape the breading off. Most other restaurants make thick, breaded rellenos., so we're very disappointed in this change. Possibly, they have new chefs? Also, I have never gotten over medium eggs; they're disgustingly runny and slimy. Even my husband, who likes his over easy, couldn't eat the eggs. We decided we'll give Poco & Mom's one more chance. Hopefully this review will be read and they'll go back to their old recipe with the rellenos. read more

We had a delightful New Mexico style breakfast. I am a huge Hatch Chile fan so I was excited to come and see the varieties of extra hot hatch chile dishes. Some our entrees were hatch green chicken omelet with hash browns (i tasted someone's beans and those beans had a lot of flavor). Our guests enjoyed chorizo breakfast ,veggie omelet, kids pancakes and a breakfast burrito with potatoes bacon egg and cheese. We finished the breakfast with sopapillas and If the weather permits enjoy the outdoor patio read more

Our favorite Mexican restaurant. New Mexico flavors are the best! The beautiful patio is perfect for a brunch or early dinner. The servers are always attentive and give superb recommendations. read more

Dropped into the bar to see an early UA basketball game on a Saturday. The bar is a small space, nothing fancy, but good sized tvs and fairly comfortable bars stools. Servers were awesome- super friendly and attentive, and happy to chat when they came by. One made a great suggestion not on the menu (that I could get my breakfast with half portions of two meats instead of having to pick just one). And the food was classic New Mexico. Eggs were cooked perfectly, hash browns were crisp, meats delicious. The salsa is a little bland, but totally acceptable with the hot crispy chips they served. read more

Well, the service was and always has been great! We were welcomed nicely. We sat at the bar, and right away, we got some water and asked if we wanted chips and salsa. We then ordered drinks: beer for me and a green chile margarita for the hubs! Let me tell you about that Margarita: It had actual chunks of green chile--not sweet, not half bad! We then ordered our food. I ordered my usual, spicy green chile chicken enchiladas with eggs on top and my love had the combo plate. Unsure if maybe they gave me the mild sauce but it was not spicy at all. Savory, yes. Rice and beans were ok. Lots of food, brought half home with us. Overall ok, not great unfortunately. Just feel like they were so much better at their original place on Kolb. Quiet crowd and enjoyed lunch. read more

Pulling in first impressions are very nice, large and spacious parking. We were greeted immediately upon entering and seated quickly. Drink orders were taken promptly, and complimentary chips and salsa were brought out also. We also ordered the Mexican pizza as a starter, which was outstanding. Very light and crispy with great flavor. Onto the entrees, all were outstanding. The pictures of all the food was an afterthought, so I apologize for the pics being taken post meal lol. Taco salad, nachos, Carne Asada chimichanga, Portions were great, and the nachos were huge. Fried ice cream was ordered for the dessert. Huge portion! Taste? Excellent! It was shared between 3 people, but was enough for 5-6. All in all, I definitely recommend this place. read more

Great food Good service New Mexico dishes not available elsewhere in Tucson, and really good and unusual. read more

I'm a big fan of New Mexican cuisine, I never miss the chance to go to NM to enjoy the food. I never liked leaving because I knew it would be awhile before I returned, but now after eating at Poco and Moms I'm in heaven. The food is very New Mexican as as good any place in NM. The menu consists of all the things like Green Chile stew too enchiladas, breakfast items and of course stuffed Sopaipilla, which I had. The menu is so extensive that I will be back. A big shout out to Carlos and the rest of the staff for being so attentive to our needs. read more

Poco and moms is the perfect place to catch up with friends while watching the sunset. The courtyard dining is lovely, with a running fountain and open air. They had no problem adjusting my meal for my gluten free and dairy free needs. The salsa was so fresh and delicious, and the service was great. We were seated quickly and taken care of. read more

I hadn't been here in quite awhile but was glad I went back. The service was friendly and excellent. I had the machaca tostado dinner and it was excellent. It came with beans and rice. I don't care for rice so didn't eat it. The tostados were tasty and I really enjoyed them. I would go back again. read more

I ate lunch here yesterday with a friend. We ate at a table in the bar area to avoid the wait for a table in the main dining room. We split two dishes: a green chile corn tamale and a plate of two chile rellenos. Both came with scrambled eggs, refried beans, a flour tortilla, and a bowl of red salsa. I thought everything was great, especially the chile relleno and the salsa. Service was good too. My share of the bill came to $21.74 including tax and tip. read more

I will never go back. It was a cold and windy day and doors were wide open letting cold and wind blow in to the reception. I had to stand there in the cold and they would not close the doors or seat me. I was waiting for a friend but could not get seated where it was warm! When she did come we were seated and there were empty tables available. I was soooo cold from the cold reception area. Never again! Will not go there. Will go next door to Canyons Crown. At least you can wait in a warm area. Waitress was excellent! read more

We love us some Poco and Moms! Been here multiple times and it's all good. Drinks, food, apps, vibe... everything! We love the patio when the weather allows, which is often. Never had a bad experience with service either. We'll keep going as long as they keep doing what they're doing! read more

I really can't comment a great deal because we were there for a rehearsal dinner and the menu was a buffet. However, the beef enchiladas were really amazing with a nice mole sauce and a nice spicy kick to it. I also tried the shredded brisket tacos which were very flavorful and, considering they were in chafing dishes, were nice and moist. Based on the meal we had at the Buffet, I wouldn't hesitate in stopping again to try something off the regular menu. read more

So far this place had the best tasting Chimichanga I've tried in the Tucson area. It frankly hit the spot as one would say. It

I bought two tamale plate and it was terrible for the price. Two tamales and the meat was not shredded but chopped up with papas and stuff. For the price, I would expect much better quality. I have eaten New Mexican tamales and they aren't as poorly made as this place Waiter was good read more

This is a great restaurant. It serves New Mexico style food. Enchiladas with a fried egg are phenomenal. Greater and servers are great. Ambiance is wonderful with several options. Seating in the bar area, great room or outdoors. Worth the trip read more

Always great food. The kids Rented their party room for my surprise birthday party. Good food, great service for the party.

Food is just okay. Service was unremarkable. And ambiance is kinda basic. Probably won't go back a second time. Opps!

I enjoyed a wonderful breakfast here. Came by when they opened at 7 am, and enjoyed warm tortillaa chips, hatch chile rellenos and scrambled eggs. It was beautiful and cozy inside where I looked out at the water fountain and garden area. The service was impeccable. Polite and friendly servers. read more

They hosted our book club today and the service was awesome! They allowed us to have our own room since it was a large group and they provided a buffet option. We had their chicken tacos with all the toppings and rice and beans. The food was delicious and the price was good. Their salsa was so yummy with just a tiny kick to it. I would definitely come back. read more

One of my favorites that I frequent with frequency. :) if you don't try their homemade sauces you will have missed it. The red sauce is a deep dark red with lots of slow cooked flavor. The green sauce is chunky with lots of hatch green chile and the white sour creme sauce....that is just yummy. You can order anything with the sauces or order it "Christmas style" (red and green) or "Mexican flag style" (red white and green). My go to is the Chile rellanos Mexican flag style. They have a beautiful patio with a three tier fountain for some ambiance. Welcome yo your new addiction! read more
