Service was VERY slow! Watched several people leave because they were not being attended to AND watched several people leave before they even got in to the restaurant because there was no one at the front. The food (when we finally got it) was very good. Don’t think I’ll be returning

I love this place. I come here only for breakfast/brunch. Service is super, and the food is awesome. The views down into the old Sonoran neighborhood to the south are inspiring. Parking is free if you have a reservation. I have been here four-five times in the last two months. I’m sure I’ll come again soon.

It was Thanksgiving Day and I needed a last-minute reservation but didn't want a traditional full turkey spread. Glad I found El Mezquite Grill. Attentive service, tasty food and nice environment. Not a typical day but I wouldn't hesitate to visit again during normal times.

Service was a little slow, but our server was very pleasant. Due to the long wait, a complimentary bowl of chips and salsa might have been offered. When our food did finally arrive, the presentation was very appealing and the food quite good. We were downtown for a concert at the Music Hall. This is a very convenient location for a meal prior to any event at the TCC.

Thank you, Kathy, for taking the time to share your experience. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the food and presentation. We apologize for the delay in service. We're taking steps to ensure we provide a flawless experience next time. We hope to see you soon, - Maria Garcia

Casual but chic interior, friendly service, really good food with their own take on Sonoran cuisine. It’s loud when it gets full because of the modern acoustic - but it’s fun. Fantastic option before a concert at the Music Hall or event in the Convention Center, but don’t overlook it for just a nice bit easygoing dinner downtown any time. Ample parking on site - if there isn’t a huge public event on site.

Rave reviews, but reality was disappointing….preferred menu item was unavailable and food ordered arrived COLD. Shrimp in tacos resembled rubber. Save your money and high expectations…..go elsewhere!

We LOVED this place! Probably the best patio in Downtown Tucson! They also had a happy hour from 4pm-6pm, perfect for pregaming before a show at TCC or Fox!
