    Cute spot but was we were surprised to be the only ones in the restaurant on a Saturday for lunch. The staff was kind and attentive but the food was just okay.

    I admit I'm a snob when it comes to Mexican Cusine. My mother made the best Tamales and meneudo. However, there is Cielos with a deconstructed type tamale that was light and fluffy unlike what you would typically expect from the rolled steamed hand held meat pies. Their guacamole was chunky and savory. I appreciated not having bagged chips that were very light and not overly salted. We also had a hamburgués with delicious steak fries. For desert we're churros that were not ladened with grease and a chocolate torte cake. Our server was helpful and attentive despite being a Saturday afternoon the restaurant was nearly empty. Next time I would love to sit outside and enjoy the water and fire features. Stroll the lovely grounds before to wake up your appetite or after to walk off the last of the churros you said you couldn't possibly eat.

    I would say we had a lovely meal on Saturday night after my aunts check in to the hotel. We did have a reservation , so no wait and they were pretty packed. They have inside , covered patio and indoor bar seating available that I saw. Very beautifully decorated inside, welcoming and cozy. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. I had the short rib and omg it was so good. Tender and juicy, i practically licked my plate lol. I know my mom and aunt also enjoyed their meals . I had a bite of the pasta yum! And the fundito was also good. A great place to go if you're staying next door at Lodge on the Desert or even for a night out dinner.

    This is one of the most underrated restaurants in Tucson. How is this gem not a 5 star spot is beyond me! If you like Hacienda Del Sol, you must come here. The same vibe, quaintness, beauty. It absolutely shows off in a way that rivals HDS. Our plan was to go to a restaurant near by, but when we showed up, they were closed. That was the best thing that could have happened, because it prompted us to remember next door! What a WONDERFUL and Beautiful experience! The staff was friendly, the ambiance was stunning and the food was out of this world, cooked to perfection. There are not enough accolades I can give to the experience tonight. I can not wait to come back and bring friends possibly on Saturdays where they have live music. For the food: the chorizo wontons with a mango passion fruit drizzle was TO DIE FOR! It was truly the most enjoyable, unexpected pairing and I can not get enough! Hubby had the scallops. They were cooked to perfection with just the right amount of crisp to the outside. He substituted the sweet potatoes with the gratin potatoes. Oh my god. Perfect. My salmon was also cooked perfect and came with some sort of squash risotto and greens which superbly complimented the meal. Last we had the lemon bar dessert. Margaritas are so good. Literally- there is nothing- not one thing- they could have done better. We will be back!

    Lovely space with indoor and outdoor seating. Great service. Their food is contemporary American food with a southwest fusion. They have a very reasonably priced happy hour menu everyday. Desserts rounded out the meal well.

    The grilled pork chop and scallops in a sweet potato puree were out of this world!

    I booked Cielos for my husband's birthday and it exceeded my expectations! The ambiance is magical both inside and outside. We sat on the patio next to the lovely fireplace with cafe lights overhead. The server went above and beyond and ensure our experience was a memorable one. I ordered the scallops and my husband had the pork chop. Both were delicious and perfectly prepared! It just became our favorite restaurant in the Tucson area.

    Don't miss those delish hush puppies!
    Van D.

    The perfect patio for an evening of chilling out! We went to Cielo's to celebrate a special occasion and had a fantastic meal, including those amazing green corn tamale hush puppies -- SO good. The entire courtyard has an easygoing ambience, with Southwestern charm at every turn (from the tiled fireplace and fountain to the landscape art and bird sculptures on the eaves), and we enjoyed the excellent food and friendly, attentive service. If you order a drink, it's there within a minute or two and served with a smile. Welcoming and relaxing in every way -- can't wait to go back!

    Chorizo fundido
    Faye I.

    Cute setting, nice outdoor (and indoor) ambiance, and perfect weather in July for dinner. Plenty of outdoor seating as well as indoor seating. Indoor seating is surrounded by super sliding doors, which were opened last night due to perfect weather. We started with the chorizo fundido, followed by the green chile tamale and lodge pasta for entrees. Chorizo fundido had very little chorizo, but the cheese flavor was perfect. It came on a sizzling skillet, which hardened the bottom of the cheese eventually, making it crispy and good! Served with corn tortillas. Green chile tamales were disappointing. There was very little sauce, and more masa than anything inside the tamales itself. It was very bland and tasteless. The lodge pasta was a better choice, although the chicken was a bit dry. Service was very friendly. It wasn't that busy on a Friday night, but the hostess and servers appeared very approachable and easy to talk to. The chorizo fundido was the best thing we tried. Great ambiance though.

    This is the best kept secret in town. I vote this top 3 restaurants in Tucson, speaking as a professional restaurant person! This beats hacienda del sol's restaurant BY A LANDSLIDE. Cielo's is such a good vibe all around. The atmosphere is beautiful, well-kept, classy without being stuffy, inviting and true to its surroundings. I can usually tell if a place is going to be good/bad by its lighting- and the lighting was warm, not too bright or dark. The food was AMAZING omg. The crab poblano queso dip is the best app I've had in a long time. Well worth going over my calorie deficit. I'm a real burger and french fry snob, my other favorite being Truland/Graze, I think Cielo's burger has made it to top 3 best burgers in Tucson (I've literally had them all- don't correct me). The meat is high quality and fries hand cut at a good thickness. Yummm. The service was refreshingly genuine and attentive. I believe the supervisor was serving me on 11/29, and he was phenomenal! So kind, attentive, and didn't make me feel as if I was bothering him. A real sign of the times haha. Every person working I noticed was doing their job and very professional, and the bartenders are fast! I over heard servers being complimented throughout the night. Lastly, the addition of live music was AMAZING. Excelsior Jazz Band was such a pleasure to watch, I even had to bust out the ol' chocolate martini order. It's a rarity to hear quality, professional live music that makes you wanna linger for hours. Thank you Cielo's for restoring my hope in the ever-changing restaurant industry and wonderful time!

    Chips and salsa ($9)
    Sandee L.

    Our Orbitz VIP perk was complimentary chips and salsa and one drink up to a $15 value. My bf got the "award winning" monsoon margarita. I was disappointed it didn't come with the blue agave foam! I got a prickly pear espumoso ($9), which is basically a mimosa. The champagne was almost totally flat. I would not pay $9 for the chips and salsa. Noted the gratuity was not included. I'm giving it 3 stars since we got essentially got 70% of the base bill for free, but if we paid full price it would be a 2.

Love the wall of chianti bottles that lead to the bar and love that the staff dress up in casual Prohibition garb. Came here for girl's night and it was everyone's first time even at the restaurant but mine. I'd had dinner a couple times in the restaurant for my birthday and had the cheese wheel fettuccine alfredo. I asked if anyone was interested in trying it and so 3 of us split it which ended up being pretty perfect. It is hands down THE BEST fettuccine alfredo. We had many drinks come to our table, the first round being the homemade limoncello. Made with local Meyer lemons, it is deliciously potent. A must try. The bartender, Ryan or Brian, he made cocktails from the heart. A couple of gals ordered "dealer's choice" drinks and they were inspired by the drinker's stories. It was really a unique experience for them and I could almost see his mind working out the chemistry of the libations. Another must try, although I didn't because I had to drive myself home. I did have a coffee with Bailey's, Amaretto, and freshly-made whipped cream. Last must try if not on a coffee drink maybe on a dessert. One person in our party thought that the drinks were on the spendy side. Many of the ingredients were house made and all top shelf. I'm from Los Angeles so an $18 drink was a normal night at the klerb. Worth mentioning if that would be a deal breaker. Worth a go. I thought it was better than the speakeasy at the Sonoran House which was too bright and not intimate. You really like feel more like you're not where you're supposed to be at The Still. There is a curio cabinet with cigars that I think are for sale. The speakeasy opens up to the patio for all the smoke suckers. Great for a small groups or date night, maybe not the first date.

It's a fun and also elegant atmosphere with the zebra theme clearly exemplified across the space. I would have to say this is one of the coziest bars I've been to, the furniture and seating is really supportive of a long-term visit. There are other levels, lower and an upper level besides the main space, but be aware that if there are parties, they can typically take up different areas. Our bartender, Sarah was fantastic! The way that she handled all of the guests and the busy field was incredible, so calm and collected, and furthermore making some really incredible drinks. Heads up that the online drink menu is not the current drink menu, I couldn't remember all the names of our drinks and put those in the photo captions, so when I checked on the website, the menu was showing something different other than what I saw at the bar.

We'd heard good things about this place and have been trying to support local downtown bars this summer, so we stopped in around 11 on a Friday night before heading home. As we sat down, we watched the bartender be pretty dismissive toward another group at the bar, so we were already a little unsure. We started talking about the decor because we liked the eclectic vibe. We jokingly pointed out that one of the pictures had a joint instead of a cigarette because someone in our group hadn't noticed. One of the bartender's first comments back, completely seriously, was, "I'm from San Diego. Have you never seen art before?" Honestly... what? It was such a weird, unnecessarily condescending response. I brushed it off at first as awkward banter, but it was a really strange first impression. The drinks were decent. The Loverlist was really good, and the Unicorn Fluff and Old Fashioned were fine. The bartender was quick to talk up their whiskey selection, but when we asked for a recommendation, she mostly gave reasons why she couldn't recommend anything and just kept saying they had "over 90 different options." Without a whiskey menu to look through, that wasn't especially helpful. We also asked for a shooter and were offered half of a cocktail instead. That would've been totally fine on its own, but combined with everything else, the service just never felt welcoming. We ended up leaving pretty quickly. I'd give the place another shot because the atmosphere is fun and has a lot of potential, but hopefully with a different bartender behind the bar.
