Review
“Bring an open mind and empty stomach” to Suzana Davila’s “colorful”, “funky” and sometimes “frantically” paced Downtown “must-visit” Mexican (No. 1 for Popularity in Tucson) where Oaxacan masks and bright walls complement the “exciting” food that blends the “homestyle” with the “innovative”; the daily-changing, chalkboard menu showcasing a slew of “interesting moles” helps make a meal here “magical.”
This place serves drinks, entrees, and deserts. When I asked about appetisers the waitress said that the entree had so much food, that an appy was not necessary.
Entrees high teens through low $20's. I've had Mexican food in SoCal and Texas. But this place was the real thing (as mentioned above). We would have returned a second night, but wanted to try this place...

Review
For “creative” Southwestern cooking, this “funky” Downtown “storefront” upstages others by offering an array of “imaginative small plates” and larger-portioned fare to pre- and post-theater patrons; if the “cool vibe contributes to mellow service” sometimes, consider that many maintain this “hipster hot spot” “succeeds.”
This looks like a traditional yuppie watering hole
with good food.
First place goes to Cafe Poca Cosa.
