    Just tried Cruda for the first time and am glad we finally did. We were welcomed by Jorge, who was our server. From greeting to close, Jorge was an incredible host. Incredible service! If you like seafood, Cruda does not miss the mark. I had the ceviche tostadas and loved them. I'm not a big fan of pineapple, but I gave the pineapple agua fresca a shot and it turns out I am a big fan of pineapple agua frescas - at least from Cruda! The place is really cool inside and has a fun feel to it and while it was a little early for a drink, definitely seems like a fun place to have one, so we'll be back for dinner one of these evenings.

    This place is way too noisy, with not one acoustical item to absorb the sound. Its lack luster feel is not a draw either. The best thing I can say its is a restaurant option downtown, but is just ok. Nothing there made even think to come back. It just seemed that they put minimal effort into the food. The chips were like fried cardboard and the salsa was just ground up tomatoes. You can go but I'm going to steer clear.

    I can't believe it took me so long to try this place. Service was great. Made a reservation but didn't need one since it wasn't busy at all on a week night. The decor is very nautical, I felt like I left Tucson. We shared the black salsas aguachile molcajete with ahi tuna and the mar y pina. The seafood was fresh and everything was so delicious. That pineapple was loaded with fish! I felt that the portions were generous for the price and the presentation was a 10/10.

    We arrived in DT Tucson on a Thursday night after driving from CA, craved seafood and this was one of the few places that were walking to us that were still going to be opened by the time we walked there. They close at 8pm but they were still offering last call for food at 8pm, that is very flexible and generous in my humble Californian's opinion. Our server (the only one) was super nice and cool. He was so chilled. The place was pretty empty by the time we arrived, only two other parties beside us. We ordered a variety of dishes because we were starving from the drive. Food came out fairly promptly and everything tasted so good! We especially liked the octopus tacos al pastor style, drenched in their achiote & chili guajillo pineapple juice sauce. It's very saucy. We also got a shrimp ceviche tostada and tostada campechana (shrimp and octopus). This one though, it didn't say raw shrimp and there were mostly cooked shrimp but a few shrimps there were totally raw.. They were very generous with the portion. The quesadillas with shrimp and cheese in Oaxaca cheese was sooo good! I think this was my favorite! We also had Garlic fish grilled, it was okay, a bit oily. Overall, good food, service was great, and the vibe was chilled!

    Cruda is the only place in Tucson where I've found truly good ceviche. But if you prefer a traditional cook for your seafood dishes, I would also recommend the arroz marinero (don't let the look of it get you, it's delicious!) or the molcajete camaron bandera. Make sure you're patient, the service can be a little slow, but still totally worth it.

    Molcajete a la brasa with extra octopus
    Vanessa T.

    I've been multiple times and the food is easily the best Mexican seafood in Tucson. Me and my daughter Lovett, we've had the Molcajete a la brasa (amazing, highly recommend), their chipotle, seafood pasta, multiple different tostadas. I have never been let down. It is so good.

    Fun atmosphere, food & drinks and service was good. The sauce on the oysters definitely got some heat to it, enjoyed them very much. Affordable price and tasty drinks.

    Excellent Mexican seafood. The presentation was very cool and the food was delicious! Service was great. Highly recommend for "not your typical " seafood or Mexican

    The ceviche, Camaron ( shrimp) culichi and the red snapper tacos were delicious . The side of rice was bland and the fries were just ok. The music is loud and so conversations can be a little hard without or without a hearing aid. Service was pleasant. Not pictured but my favorite item on the menu was the choco flan.definitely a must visit again to check out more of their items. Public parking garage right across and not too expensive.

    Seafood with a kick. Service and ambience: This is clean and nicely decorated restaurant in a heart of Tucson. We received five star service from all the staff members. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. We were the last guests before closing time, yet we were not rushed and received all the attention we needed. Food and drinks: The food was one of the tastiest Mexican style seafoods we have tried so far! Great combination of flavours and fresh ingredients. The seasoning was the hero. Great balance of spices and citrus notes. You must try their ceviche and hot molcajete! Simply delicious. As for the drinks, they offer set cocktails menu but you can opt for a beer too. Pricing: As usual, seafood prices are on a higher end, however, the quality of dishes at this restaurant justifies the price tags.

    I went for lunch and got the fish and chips. The service was really good the guy who took my order was friendly and attentive. The place was nice and had a good atmosphere. I spent $12 on my meal and I got my money's worth. I will go back.

    If you're into seafood, definitely try this place out! First off, the parking garage is walking distance to it; second the food is amazing that I would love to try the rest of their menu. I had to order a to go meal it was that good. Lastly, their drinks are HUGE; at least the one that I ordered. I had to share my drink because I couldn't finish it myself. I went on a Wednesday night (we're a party of 6) and I think more servers are needed only because we had to ask or remind our server about what's missing from what's ordered. Other than that, the food, drinks, decor and good vibes are what will make me come back again.

    Are there vegan options available? Or just vegetarian?

    No vegan options from what I saw. All dishes have seafood.

    Is it pet friendly?

    I would say you may be able to have your pet with you in the outside sitting area; but not really to sue.

The staff was friendly and welcoming while we waited, and they made sure our order was complete except for a side of chips, which wasn't a big deal since they provided plenty of tostadas. The server even went the extra mile by including small containers of our favorite hot sauce, which we really appreciated. Unfortunately, once we got home, we noticed the Camarón Culichi wasn't quite up to the standard we've come to expect from Mariscos Chihuahua. The Culichi sauce was much thinner than usual, and the quality and portion of the shrimp seemed to have changed. There were only a few shrimp in the dish, and they were noticeably smaller than what we've received during previous visits. The shrimp ceviche was still enjoyable, although the flavor also seemed a little different than usual. Overall, it was still a delicious meal, and we'll definitely be back because we've always had great experiences here. We just hope this was an isolated experience and not a sign that the restaurant's quality is changing.

    We enjoyed the ambiance of this restaurant. It is set up perfectly flat for an Italian restaurant…read moredate night. The tea lights on the table make a huge difference and there is a cute bar inside. The restaurant is located conveniently near Fox Theatre and the music hall. The food was fantastic. Great taste and presentation. They have many options for all types of eaters and preferences. They also have a large desert menu. We ordered four different dishes because we each got our own entree as well as shared an appetizer and desert. We came hungry and left with minimal entree leftovers. The servers were polite and helpful. I will say because of the type of restaurant and how busy it was, it was a little slower. But we think that is to be expected. Good Tucson find.

We waited a minute to be seated in a small corner table next to the kitchen We waited quite a long time to have our server acknowledge us we had already picked out food by the time they came. She made us aware of specials they had. They don't have a mocktail menu but the server said she would be able to come up with something for me which was very fruity and sweet definitely not my taste. I wish they would incorporate a mocktail menu or better NA options. The appetizer we had was calamari which was decent- my husband wasn't a fan of the breading texture it has a lumpiness to it maybe like a crushed cornflake feel. Not our favorite but overall it was cooked great not overdone. Love the roasted lemon on the side. I had the short rib ravioli which the ravioli itself was good. The sauce was interesting it had a sweetness to it that I wasn't a fan of. I've had short rib ravioli at wildflower which they also did a white sauce which I preferred due to it being savory. I can tell it was a wine based sauce which had a nice depth of flavor but the sweetness really killed it for me. My husband had the baked ravioli which was a lasagna style which was great! Robust sauce and large portion. If you're in Tucson the sauce seems very similar to Nate's. We did get a free cheesecake for our anniversary which was very nice, my husband loved this and he's super picky about cheesecake. Overall not bad- I think I'd maybe come to try some other dishes but service felt very slow, I wasn't blown away with anything and it was very pricey, mocktail options definitely lacked if you're sober.
