Cafe Poca Cosa is one of the few places in Tucson where you can get a really flavorful and creative Mexican meal. We always order the Plato Poca Cosa which has 3 of the items from the ever-changing menu. The chef decides what will go on the plate, and that is part of the fun! The sauces are out of this world and portions are pretty generous. I like the way the food is served with the salad alongside the entree. Some people prefer it on a separate plate, but all of the flavors come together beautifully. If there is one Mexican place you should try in Tucson, let it be this one. There are so many others, but none that have the flavor, creativity, and ambiance of Cafe Poca Cosa. Call ahead to get reservations if you can. Otherwise, be prepared to wait. Families beware.....not kid-friendly. Makes a great place for a date!
Pros: Ambience, especially outdoors on a nice evening; creative food; superb flavors
Cons: Without a reservation you'll wait; not kid-friendly at all; the downtown location
