Solution not Excuses. This review is given to notify patrons that not customers are served equally. I made a reservation for three people more than a month in advance. We were from out of town and visiting our daughter. This was the first visit to Café Poca Cosa and we were celebrating our anniversary. My wife and I arrived a few minutes early and our daughter was going to join us late. There was no waiting line to be seated. We were seated at a table for two in a corner next to a partition blocking our view of most of the restaurant. I asked for a larger table and I was denied. I was told that larger tables were reserved for parties of three or more and that a chair could be added to our two-person table when my daughter arrives. Within fifteen minutes, the table for four that I requested was given to a party of two. I called our daughter not to meet us. I brought this issue to the Manager and I received excuses, poor excuses, and not a solution. The other issue is that since we were in a corner the attention given us was poor. The food was above average. To say the least, our anniversary dinner was not what I planned for my wife and I will never eat at Café Poca Cosa again. I have many family, friends, and colleagues in the Tucson area and I plan to share this story as often as I can and convince them not to eat at Café Poca Cosa.

Love it!. I love the unique flavors of this place! I usually let the chef choose my plate and have not been disappointed.

Fine dining. Enjoy the atmosphere....get relaxed before you go. If the waiter/waitress makes a suggestion, maybe they know something. Not really kid-friendly, but that goes for most places. Going back again soon.

Sad sad sad. Cafe Poca Cosa was my favorite eatery in Tucson. Not anymore. Before we sat down we knew we should leave...but nooo.. had talked about it all morning so we stayed. First off, we called ahead to reserve a table saying we had a infant with us.. We arrive, and they don't have boosters. Could have told us when we said we had an infant, either on the phone, or before we were pranced back to a table. Fine, send one of us back to the car and get the stroller.

Then the food was "sold" to us like a simalar poster said almost in a this is "the only way to eat here" fashion. From the first bite, it was cold. I thought well maybe just my food...tasted my daughters..hers was cold too. No one ever came back to ask how the food was. We were starving so we ate...from the entire table of cold food. (our company was from out of town no less.)

When we went to pay, we commented to the owner how no one checked on us all through lunch. Sorry, thats all she had to say. I told the waitress, very quietly, how dissappointed I was, and she too was sorry. Well guess what, so am I . Sorry my old favorite sucked and I will never go back. Way too much money for a sorry bunch of food and service.

A Major Disappointment. It had been a while since I'd been to Cafe Poca Cosa. It used to be a real gem of a restaurant, and one of my favorite places, so I went back the other night with a few old friends. This restaurant is not what it used to be -- not by any means. The service is among the worst I've ever had in Tucson. Our waitress, Cecelia, was pompous and arrogant. Like other reviewers have said, she acted like she was doing us a favor by being present from time to time.

She brought out the menu on the chalkboard as usual, and went straight to the special (the random selection of 3 items on the menu). She informed us that this was the only way to enjoy the restaurant, so how about if the entire table order it. She skipped over the description of the menu items entirely, and I actually had to ask her if she wouldn't mind telling us what's on the menu. The evening went downhill from there.

This used to be a good restaurant, but they have really lost their way. It's really easy to find terrific food and atmosphere in Tucson. There's no need to spend your time and money in a place that has become nothing but arrogant.

Leave this place for the tourists, who won't know any better anyway.
