We alway stop here when we are in Tupac. A great mexican food restaurant. I had a Chimichanga and my wife had a tostada. That's after we had the chips and avacodo & Salsa. Every is great and large portions. I left with a fried cherry dessert which i ate later which was just yummy. Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Arizona is full of adventures and great restaurants, so I make a point to check out a local spot on every trip. While visiting Tumacácori National Historical Park, I came across this place and decided to stop in for a late lunch. I was seated right away at a nice table in the back of the cool, character-filled building. The menu offered plenty of tempting options, but I chose the Mary Hixon Plate. It arrived quickly, tasted fantastic, and the service was excellent. I'd definitely recommend stopping here when visiting Tumacácori National Historical Park. Mary Hixon Plate - A read more

Delish food! Order dessert first! I will be back every year! This is a must do restaurant!

Neat little place in the middle of nowhere. The menu is huge so we had a lot to consider! I got a combo plate with the turkey tostada and the mango fish taco. Both were just okay, I wish I would've gotten something else. My father in law LOVED the chili rellenos. Service was friendly. A little slow at times but they were fairly busy since it was the during most people's Christmas vacations. I'd definitely give this place another chance! The Blueberry Burrito alone will keep me coming back. read more

I've been here a few times and the food is good, service is pretty good. I love the "home" feel of the restaurant. I do believe it's overpriced. They charge you for everything two dollars for extra sauce two dollars for more salsa, six dollars for a side of beans , eight dollars for chips and salsa. I would definitely give it more stars if it weren't for this. Seriously, two dollars for a couple tablespoons of red sauce. A tamale should come with some kind of sauce on the side. read more

I was extremely disappointed tonight! Tostada was small, drinks weak ( pomegranate Margarita) and 50 cent piece size flan for $60 bill with so-so service. Not impressed! read more

Amazing little restaurant in the middle of nowhere. It looks tiny but once you are inside you can see that they make great use of their space for seating. The food was all excellent, unfortunately I forgot pictures but we had Shrimp Tacos, Bean Enchilada, Shredded beef Chimi and the Pozole soup and all the food was authentic and delicious. Service was quick and helpful. If in the area again we will return! read more

Last night was our first visit to Wisdom's. We arrived at 5 pm on a Friday and it was packed! Live music was really good and then we found out that on the first Friday of the month Margaritas are 2 for 1. And I must say, they were GOOD! I was seeing double after one! Service was slow but we didn't mind because it was just nice to sit and listen to the music. Food was awesome! I had a cheese enchilada and a chili relleno with beans and rice and a cherry burro for dessert. I think I found my favorite Mexican restaurant! read more

I can't say enough good things about this place! I'd say it's the best Mexican food I have ever had. DEFINITELY try their chimichanga. I have never seen it fried so deliciously anywhere. Their green enchilada sauce (vegetarian) is so delicious and thick. I like to get it on the side and pour it on the chimichanga myself. For vegan, I get the chimichanga with their refried beans and whole beans (both vegetarian) and ask for veggie fajitas. Rice has chicken stock. They have tortillas with or without lard available and the ones without lard are delicious. Their tamales are super delicious too-- I had the vegan calabacitas tamale, they also have vegan green corn. I like the the service staff knows about ingredients or are happy to check. The atmosphere outside on lovely patio is peaceful and Coco the sweet cat comes to say hi :) read more

I love Wisdom's! I was first told about it when I moved to the Green Valley/Sahuarita area back in 2017. I became a regular customer, getting together with my friends several times a month. The food is very good, the staff are all very friendly and cheerful and the ambiance is fun, like the authentic old west. By the way..Ribs Night is terrific! Ribs that are nicely seasoned and fall off the bone. Try the Tequila Sea Salt ice cream for dessert. You will quickly become a big fan. Whether talking to Herb, Celeste or Cliff, you will always be greeted with a smile and leave well fed. Enjoy....we alway read more

$13.50 for a margarita?? Need I say more? I was offended. Now I know I'm paying for someone else's 2-1 deal read more

We totally understand that prices have gone up everywhere... but this felt a bit too much. The margaritas are way overpriced for such a casual spot -- these are Vegas prices, not small-town vibes. The place still has charm, but the food just isn't the same anymore -- it's missing that signature flavor that used to make it special. We really hope they bring back that Wisdoms magic we all loved. read more

Have eaten here for many years. Service and ambiance still the same but food is not. Seared fish tacos were ok. Served with pinto beans that lacked any seasoning. My favorite soup - Posole - had a pretty good flavor, but there was almost no pork in the watery liquid. No a rich broth. Wisdom's prices are above others and with the decline in quality we will not likely return. read more

Service was great. Food is always good, and their margaritas are great (and powerful :)

We had a great evening at wisdoms last night, live music and great margaritas. Mary Hixom is a wonderful meal along with the cheese crisp. Highly recommend reservations on Friday and Saturday night with live music! read more

Interesting decor with rustic old ranch and western items, a bit dark inside though. Tables not crowded too close together. Food was good but not outstanding. Service a bit slow even though we came just after the busy lunch rush. read more

If you are a margarita lover, you need to give Wisdom's Cafe a try! The margaritas are strong and flavorful - we tried each flavor at our table and were impressed with all. The food was authentic and delicious - I had the chili relleno and our table agreed that it was one of the best any of us had had before. read more

Always fun people, good groups, excellent servers, and great food! And what about those two -for-one Margaritas, Katherine & Bob

Spectacular! I found this while visiting Tumacacori, what a find! I checked the reviews, the were good so we stopped in. We got there just before the "rush"... literally 15 people came up just as I was walking in. The staff was friendly and efficient, we sat immediately, service was perfect, food was really delicious and plentiful. They had live music - the soloist was really good. Overall, this was a great find and great experience! I wish we lived closer, I'd go every week! read more

All I can say....I always over eat when I'm at Wisdom's. The food is more consistent than your own home cooking. Don't listen to the haters, they would complain if you gave them 20 singles instead of a $20 bill. read more

Delicious food, warm atmosphere and terrific service. We will definitely be back! I highly recommend the Mary Hixon plate with turkey. So good. read more

The turkey option on whatever you order is must! So delicious. Lovely little place with friendly staff. A big favorite of mine and they never disappoint. read more

Best meal I had in Tubac (including Elvira's at multiples of the price). Excellent pupusa shared by the table, my pozole was delicious and too much to finish. Everyone else liked their entrees (and took food home). Friendly good service. Skip the sosopapillas. read more

Friends brought us here as we are new to the area. What a great spot! The ambience inside was rustic and clean. The shredded beef taco and enchilada were great- the chips and pico de gallo with the hot and mild sauces was excellent. They have 2 for 1 margaritas - not sure if every day, we were there on a Friday. No skimping on the tequila, so be careful if driving. Fruit burro's as dessert are not to be missed. Live music, but not overly loud. Will be our go to for Mexican food, despite the 20 minute drive from home. read more

Huge increase in price. Margarita went from $10.95 to 13.95 a glass. Crazy. Dinners now like Burritos etc do not include rice and refried beans- rice and beans are now Xtra $4.50. so a Mexican meal with no Vegetables and cheap Lettuce runs into $20.00 plus. Crazy prices now. I consider this to be Price Gouging!!! read more

The food, service, and atmosphere makes you feel like you're eating among friends. The house margs are really good and not too sweet. We got the cheese crisp with birria. It was great and we couldn't finish it but found room for a fruit burrito with peach, yummmm. read more

Not our first visit to Wisdom's by any means as our family has been Combi here for 25 years or more. Tonight we ordered a Combo platter with a ground beef taco and a chile Relano. The wife ordered a quesadilla filled with ground beef. We also got chips, salsa, and guacamole. All was excellent, and served very well hot. Now for the bad--the prices. Which are NOT GOOD. Wisdoms charges for their chips--and they charge a lot. The quesadilla was $12 but they add $8 more for chicken. So we went with ground beef. There was also an upcharge for my chile relano which was ridiculous. So while I gave Wisdom's Cafe max stars (for food quality and great ambiance) I give them zero stars for reasonable prices. Service was great. We walked out $70 poorer, way too much money paid for what we got. I'm incensed about having to pay $7 for chips and salsa!! read more

Wow Wow Wow This place is such a gem! Great service, great food, great drink, great decor, great art, great seating, and great location! I was happy dining here. Highly recommended! read more

Truly delicious, authentic food! The menu has a HUGE Variety of foods to choose from, all amazing! The Fruit Burrito is definitely worth getting, even if you've stuffed yourself with the huge portions, take one Home!! Love this outing ~ we come in from Oro Valley just to eat here! read more

Incredible authentic Mexican food. Staff is wonderful and always have a great time. Get there early on nights with entertainment as you'll want to be able to see the performer(s). Always top tier. Shrimp enchiladas cannot be beat. A must... order the fruit buro! read more

The food was really good. We went there because a Tubac local told us is a local favorite. They did not disappoint

Food and service was great and reasonable. Not so their $13.50 margaritas. Always a fun place to go but will order a different beverage next time read more

If you're in the area Wisdom's is THE place to go for Mexican food. Unique cabin like atmosphere with decades of memorabilia on the walls. Staff is friendly and efficient. Very unique cuisine and you must try an igloo cooler margarita. This is a very popular spot so the place has always been full for lunch when we were there. You won't be disappointed. read more

Liked the atmosphere and the nice menu selection. Was VERY BUSY !!! I ordered the Combo Plate :Shredded Turkey red sauce tamale completely covered with shredded iceberg lettuce !!! I HATE cold shredded cheese& lettuce on my Mexican food!!!! I had to scrape it off in order to eat it along with a delicious Green Corn Tamale with pinto beans and rice which I don't ever eat. Next order will be: HOLD THE LETTUCE AND COLD CHEESE, PLEASE !!!!!!! I would go back again and order other items that caught my eye. The waiter Cesar WAS very helpful. Order #80743 @ 12:39, $21.27 read more

The low rating is very confusing.I don't understand how anyone could give Wisdoms less than a 5. We have gone to Wisdoms once or 3 times a year for 23 years.Every visitor that comes to Tucson to visit us ends up here within a day.Every time it is one of the top meals they experience. YESTERDAY was no exception.The uniqueness of the restaurant, the setting, and most of all, the food was outstanding as always.Our waitress Yetti was the best.Thank you. The margaritas lunches, and of course THE coconut cream and the peach desserts were the topper to a great meal. I am a shredded beef, Enchilada guy and 2 of those plus the chips and 2 style table salsas were my choice and excellent. read more

A recent visit to Wisdoms is the first time I have found it to be a disappointment. I ordered a Tamale and found on my plate an unrecognizable something that didn't look like any Tamale I have seen. Some kind of dry concoction without any sauce to lubricant it nor any corn husk. Our experience was also notable in that everything has an individual price on it. Salsa, chips, etc. Sorry, Wisdoms, you're just not worth the drive down there. read more

Great Service, Good Food and a Nice Ambiance, but Average Value. $72 Mexican Food dinner for two excluding tip. To start, we had a Cheese Crisp with mild green chili for an appetizer. It was well-constructed and tasted Good. For entrees we ordered a Chimi w/rice beans and a red sauce and another Chimi w/ whole beans, green tomatillo sauce and side whole beans. The entrees were a nice size (not huge), good and came to $18 apiece. For Dessert we split their FOM (Fruit of the Month) Peaches/Cream Fruit Chimi with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream for $15. The split dessert was good, but I'm not certain it was $15 good. Our beverages were Diet Coke and Iced Tea. The restaurant has a comfortable feel and the service was excellent, but as semi-locals from Tucson, we won't be back here for Mexican food. There are far better values and food just 30 minutes north or 30 minutes south (probably closer). read more

Great place to unwind after a long hike along the nearby Anza Trail , where we enjoyed an ice cold barrio brewery blonde beer before our meal of mahi mahi tacos with pineapple salsa and the Mary Hixon- kind of like a shredded beef enchilada plate. Really good red Chile sauce on top, Spanish rice, and frijoles. I got the whole pintos with mine that were topped with onion and cilantro-also excellent! Our server was great and always available when we needed him. I saw the deep fried fruit Burros go by to the next table - with ice cream - but we were just too full. Next time. This place is a gem and after a long hike on the nearby beautiful Anza trail it was the perfect end to a perfect day. read more
