    Shrimp Tacos
    Yelena R.

    I made a reservation because I was not sure how busy they get at noon on Sunday, I also wanted to make sure to secure a table outside because it was a beautiful day. Even though my reservation was confirmed the hostess could not locate it. Luckily it wasn't that busy and we set outside. The service was very good. I ordered shrimp tacos on flour tortillas and they were very tasty.

    We had heard some good things about this place so we decided to give it a try. It's pretty casual, in fact, it wasn't quite what I expected it to be but that's a good thing, because I still found it quite enjoyable. The service was attentive and very good, with several members of the staff tending to our needs. The person at the front door was very friendly. The food and drink selection is very good. I was happy to see NA Beer on the menu. I had the Hacienda Salad and a cup of their soup du jour, which was a vegetable soup. Both were excellent and the salad was huge! I actually brought some home. Nice blend of flavors on the salad. My only observation was the particular booth we chose was quite close to the table, but we made it work. I thought we'd be able to move the table or slide the booth a smidge after the party behind us left, but everything was nailed to the floor. That's fine, it's just a bit close quarters. Opt for a table if you have a dad bod like me.

    This restaurant has a wide variety of food options, so there should be something for everyone. I ordered the half corned beef sandwich on sourdough with a side salad. The meat was tender, plentiful, and flavorful. The salad was fresh and delicious. It was served to us quickly and our waiter took care of us throughout our lunch. The food looked so good that I started eating it right away and completely forgot to take pictures of it! We sat indoors at a comfortable booth. There weren't many people there when we started our lunch, but it filled up as time progressed. They also have outdoor seating for when the weather is cooler.

    Ok my first experience wasn't great but I was convinced to come back and give eclectic another shot . Glad I did ! Had a wonderful prickly pear iced tea & mango pineapple salad (made vegan style ) calabacitas taco & guac . Everything was good . I'll be back for sure . Plenty of customizable ootions for vegans . No wait . We sat outdoors with the misters and shade , It was perfect .

    How can you pass this up?!?!

    Very nice establishment. Well decorated. Friendly service and not trying to hurry you out the door. Had the chicken and chorizo pasta special and it was exactly as I expected. Enough for two to share. Highly recommended. The other customers were enjoying their meals so don't ship this place.

    The food was amazing and it tasted so good. The dessert was amazing, too. They even have a special for each day of the week. Inside it was wonderful and everything was clean and neat. If you have a dog, you can eat outside. The staff was wonderful and was very kind to us.

    Because of the service and attitude we received from our waiter John, we will not be returning.

    Chocolate Cake was moist and perfect consistency. Garnished beautifully. Rich but not enough you want to stop.

    This was my first time at Eclectic. We were seated immediately and welcomed warmly! Server was attentive without being too much, and food service was QUICK! Most importantly everything was delicious! We had the tortilla soup, 100% recommend. I would come here ill just to have this soup. Then the BLTA sandwich was perfect and fries were addicting! And to top is off, desserts definitely did not disappoint. Overall ambiance was local cafe vibe all around, no fuss and all yum.

    What a cherished little gem! OMG I wasn't really expecting to be blown away by a salad but man was I ever. Literally it was the best salad I've ever had. I have never been big on onions and I loved them in this. It was just utterly amazing. Have I peaked your interest? That should have! I'm totally going to return. The manager, sherry came over and thanked us for coming in. Told us that all the vegetables and ingredients are fresh and nothing other than the fries are frozen. we even got zucchini bread and it was moist and yummy! My tummy doesn't hurt like it does for fast food. It was a much healthier option. 100% will return. Pet friendly patio area. Oh and their prickly pear tea was glorious.

    Haven't been here in a long while but ordered to go from here for lunch this week while at work, and while my taste buds were happy, I felt the effort was lacking. For one, there was no utensils or napkins with the Togo order, which I feel is standard for a to go order. Secondly, I ordered the McGina pasta, an entree I've had many times from there and found there was an abnormal amount of fatty bacon in the dish. Never have I had to spit out a bite so many times...it was weird. It was super saucy and delivered in a bag in a way that you would be holding the container sideways, causing the pasta to be slumped on one side and messy. I feel like they can do better.

    Chicken chimichanga.
    Robin S.

    Very nice restaurant with a lot of vegetarian options. - Food is quite tasty. I had the chicken chimichanga while my three vegetarian tablemates enjoyed their food. - Excellent service. This is a sit down restaurant with table service. - Nice outside seating. Don't know about inside but it seems good too. Recommended.

    Do you serve any fish? 🤞I swear I saw Seabass on the menu when I was there.

    We serve salmon on Friday as our dinner special. No seabass. We have shrimp tacos and a shrimp salad on our regular menu.

    Can you get an omelette?

    Yes. We serve breakfast from 8 - 12 on Saturday and Sunday. You can build your own omelette all through the week.

Our server/bartender took great care of us, he offered us drinks, took our food order and made my hubby a really good Margarita, The Frida Margarita, he said it was bomb! I ordered a beer and it came with a chilled glass and lime wedge. We decided on the flautas and the mole enchiladas. Both fantastic, tasty and hearty! I got full with two enchiladas so I donated the third to my hubby, which he was super happy to eat. I have to say, the mole sauce was decadent and full of flavors. It really reminded me of my grandmas mole. It also left a delicious numbing (very slight) on my lips. Perfect balance of nutty, spicy, almost semi sweet goodness. Gorgeously prepared and looked almost too good to eat. Almost..... The place was full, we were still able to have a conversation. It was amazing. Will definitely be back to continue to enjoy the carefully curated menu. Everyone seemed happy and relaxed! This screams a great place to work and obviously enjoy. Well done La Frida! Well done!

It feels like a Mexican dinner or at least what I imagined a dinner in Mexico would look like. The staff where beyond amazing, especially the woman who made our complementary salsa right at the table. And the salsa was yummy but sadly that's the only part of the meal that I can say that about. The thing is, nothing was truly bad, but just about everything was incredibly bland. You'd have expected someone who puts raisins in potato salad to have served it, not an authentic Mexican restaurant. Though the positive is the lack of seasoning is really the only major problem. The food did not have any weird taste, it wasn't dry, the presentation was fine. It simply needs to be seasoned and this place goes to a solid 4/5 rather than a three.

Located in downtown Tucson, this iconic restaurant is full of character and beautifully decorated. We visited on a Saturday around 1 PM without a reservation and were told there would be a wait since the place was packed. They only have air conditioning in the indoor dining areas and basement, not on the outdoor patio. Luckily, we were seated in the basement, which turned out to be perfect. The service was commendable truly some of the sweetest and most attentive service we've experienced in a long time. We started with freshly made chips and salsa, which were an instant hit. For drinks, we ordered the El Tamarindo, Mangopeno, and Monica's Cafetini. For food, we chose the Vegan Jackfruit Taquitos Trio and the Fresh Corn Tamale Platter, which came with a side of squash. The drinks were excellent, with the Mangopeno being my favorite. But the real star of the meal was the tamale platter. Oh my goodness it was absolutely delicious! Everyone at the table kept digging in and couldn't get enough. Even the squash side was so flavorful that we ordered an extra serving. The vegan jackfruit taquitos were a bit too deep-fried for our liking and didn't quite compare to the incredible tamales. To finish, we shared a caramel flan, which was the perfect sweet ending to the meal. The pricing was very reasonable, the service was exceptional, and the food was memorable. We will definitely be back again if only for those amazing tamales!

I suggest asking the hotel check-in staff how to get to the main restaurant entrance. Additionally, I dropped a star as parking is a pain! You have to use a QR code to pay to park even though this restaurant is not in the downtown or metered parking areas. They have a validation code to use at the restaurant entrance to cover parking, but I could never get the online submission form to actually work. The ambiance inside the restaurant is very open with vaulted ceilings, large indoor and outdoor patio seating areas. They have giant windows overlooking scenic mountain views. Now the customer service from our waitress was stellar and the food was really good! For it being a weekend, it also was not very busy. The calamari and scallops seemed fresh, my husband enjoyed the prime New York steak, and the Thai tea chocolate cake dessert with honeycomb was a good combination of flavors. As it was a golf resort the prices, especially for drinks, are high. However, if they were to get rid of the parking fee and added some signage it would greatly improve things.
