Chef/owner Suzana Davila gives locals and visitors a taste of the complex flavors of southern Mexico at this funky and popular cafe inside the historic Clarion Santa Rita Hotel. Just take a look at the many international articles and awards that line the walls and you'll know that you're in for an exciting culinary adventure. Vibrant Mexican colors abound with just about every wall a different bright hue. The menu changes twice, daily, to offer guests to try both classic dishes and new adventurous ones.
I have lived in Tucson many years. I have been to Cafe Poca Cosa quite a few times. Most recently for friends' birthday dinners.
I find the food to be presented beautifully.
I also find the place to be somewhat unacommodating. I asked for a separate check, they would not do this. They will, if you ask, split check evenly amongst the diners. This has left me twice, with a 50$ check for my dinner and drink. Also, they would not allow the salad to be served to me on a separate plate. Silly. But, that tells me how important the presentation is.
I find it to be overpriced for dinner. I would come back for dessert and drinks because I enjoy the ambience here. It looks like a fun place for a date.
I love this place. I've never had a bad experience here and I find the food unusual and delicious. I've tried dishes that I didn't expect to like and found them fabulous. Chef is fantastic. I always take out of town guests here. Love the atmosphere, a little urban for Tucson which I find refreshing. Staff is friendly and attractive if that matters to you. It's just a fun place with great food. Healthy choices, fresh ingredients. Get the Plata.
Simply stated, this restaurant is overrated. One might be able to say that their dinning experience was imaginative, flowery, retro, chic, or expensive; but, definitely not great. Maybe I would give this restaurant a better rating if it was in Wasilla, AK or another one horse town; but here in Tucson, competition is tough--there are far of better choices
