The Scene:
Founded in 1947, this Sonoran eatery has proven itself one of the city's real veterans. Just look for the big black bull and matador statue marking the entrance to the restaurant's three dining rooms and popular outdoor patio. The Virgin of Guadalupe watches over diners served by traditionally dressed staff under the saguaro rib roof.
The Food
The chimichangas are a bit skinny, but everything else is amply proportioned. Start with a pan of cheese crisps, crunchy, fried tortillas smothered in cheddar and topped with green chiles. Meat lovers must order the smoky carne seca. The mouth-watering meat fills tacos, tostadas and enchiladas. Combination plates give a little of everything: a vegetarian combo includes a golden chile relleno and cheese enchilada accompanied by a tostada and refried beans. A handmade strawberry margarita finishes the meal perfectly.

This one of the best Mexican food restraunts in Tucson. The food is awesome and the inside decor is very attractive. They have several items to chose from on the special menu and it changes everyday. You have to be willing to have great food and poor service though. The wait staff could use a little more training in how to take care of the customers. They will stand around talk to each other and leave you hanging to find what you need. If you need a refill on drink or want to order dessert, you will have to approach them. But the food is very good here. I usually have my food for take out. That way I am not stressed over the bad help. PROS: Great Food CONS: Staff pays no attention to you.

This is my dad's favorite place so whenever it's his turn to choose, that's where we go. At first the decor is attractive and the waiters are, too - but they are never friendly or patient, and once they serve the food, they disappear. We have gone to the kitchen door to ask for water or napkins! But if you are in the mood to linger and be left alone, the food is quite good. We went to the weekend buffet just once, and it was a disaster - food spilled everywhere, empty dishes on the buffet, not worth the price when there was nothing much available to eat. PROS: No one will rush you or harass you here! CONS: If you want anything extra, get it yourself.

The atmosphere is second to none at Casa Molina. I absolutely drink in the sights and sounds of this happy place. The food is excellent and we do request the hot salsa. The servings are so generous and the staff seems very quick on their feet. I enjoy every moment!
