I was in just after the restaurant was allowed to reopen. They had not restocked much, not all things were available from their purveyors, and ,frankly, they were unsure what to order. 1 cook, 1 server and the owner. Put down the menu and ask, so what should I order? Told me the items they had and I was in the mode for a New York. I was good The beer was cold. I sat at the bar, had the whole place to myself. The tuned the TV to the channel I wanted. afterward, I went to the outside patio on the west side of the dining room, had a coffee and smoked a cigar. Thanks - I needed an adult lunch. read more

This place sits on top of a hill overlooking northern Nogales with a really nice view. Place is really cute and clean inside and has a nice formal dinning experience. Nice wine selection and an all you can eat salad bar for $10.00. Usually when you hear all you can eat you think it will probably be The plain old salad bar, it actually had fresh vegetables and a potato salad and coleslaw that was really good. Steak was exceptionally cooked, rice and beans were delicious. It even came with a mini chimichanga that was amazing. The wife ordered 2 shrimp tacos and the shrimp were jumbo size with great spices and they were a meal in its self. This place is amazing and they have a really huge bar area. Even though I don't drink. I will be returning real soon!! Service was great as well. read more

See all

First upon entering the restaurant, we stood at the hostess stand for about 10 minutes, there was nobody around. We then went into the bar thinking that we would be attended faster. We noticed there was only one employee taking care of the whole restaurant. This was the most horrible service I have ever received at a restaurant. Totally unprofessional for a plate that cost $35 dollars. It took more than 10 minutes just to get a drink. The calamari was dry and it looks and tasted like it was fried in old oil, they gave us the driest lemons I have ever seen.There were so many things wrong, there was no paper in the restroom, the waiter did not have a mask on, and we had to send our food back 3 times.Wouldn't recommend. read more

Mr.C's Supper Club - a plate of food - Steakhouses Near Me - Nogales, Arizona

This place is like a time capsule. A classic steak house that hasn't changed in 50 plus years. Great wood and leather furniture with understated decor... that is admittedly getting a little worn. The menu is nothing exciting, just your basic steakhouse stuff. They have various cuts of beef plus shrimp, scallops, and fish options. The steak is served with a baked potato and the seafood with rice and all dishes come with a side of steamed vegetables. You also get a trip to the salad bar included as well. Most of the entrees were in the $25 to $35 range but with so much food I think that is a good deal. Everything is prepared simply but well. On my most recent visit, the first time I have been there since my teen years, I was pleased to discover a modest wine list is available upon request and they do have a pretty good selection of Mexican beers. The service was courteous and professional, though not as attentive as I would have liked... but in fairness it was a busy night. This place is a Nogales institution, so it is worth a visit if you are in the area and want a nice dinner out. The only other upscale dining options (relatively speaking) would be in Tubac or at the Rio Rico golf resort further north on I-19. read more

Good steak, good fish, good old school restaurant for groups when you're in Nogales. What started as a group of 8 grew to a group of 20. The staff took it in stride. Sure there were times when it took 15 minutes to get water, but who wants water after a 10 hour day in a factory followed by a 1.5 hour wait to get back across the border? The menu is slightly intimidating, since it's essentially a notebook. The list of appetizers alone takes up 3-4 pages. There are a lot of steak and seafood dishes. I opted for the trout, though pretty much everyone else got some kind of steak. Every entree came with a trip to the salad bar. The salad bar was nothing special - chopped romaine, canned chickpeas, sunflower seeds, canned beats, processed salad dressings in beige plastic containers with beige plastic ladles. While we ate our salads, we could see the chefs in the kitchen, which when you consider how old the building seems, is something that not a lot of places had at the time. The chefs were really working it. And they even rang the bell when the orders were up. The staff did a decent job of getting the food out when it was still hot and to all the right people. The trout was a little more done than I would have liked, but the flavor was still good. Everyone raved about his or her steak, but then added that it was a little too salty. And even though the prices seemed a little high on the menu, the whole thing was very affordable at the end of the night. It's a solid Nogales favorite, and one I'm sure that we'll be back to in the future, based on all the smiling faces when we left. read more

My first time here and it was a Friday night. The only reason I'm giving 2 stars is for the Alfredo chicken wings. Otherwise it'd give it 1/2 a star!!! This is so sad for Nogalians to put up with this ridiculous crap starting with the sewer problem they've got going on. I couldn't even pee in peace with that foul sewer odor emitting from who knows where. I spoke to the so called manager "Doris" who said it was not THEIR problem, it's a SEWER PROBLEM!!! Obviously, she DID NOT care when I brought it up to her attention. Their customer service is just as bad, bartender Luis was very rude when I told him about the poor customer service that was rendered. He said it was due to us being in A BORDER TOWN!!! OH HE'LL NO, that should not be an excuse for poor service. PEOPLE don't settle for so so service just because you live in Nogales. You DESERVE better. I'm hoping the owner Mr. Mercado does justice for this place. read more

Way too expensive and the food isn't good. At all. It smells like they haven't cleaned the place in 50 years and likely that haven't. Sad excuse for a salad bar - especially for the cost of the meal --- it was just lettuce, some sketchy dark watery plastic filled sides (beets, a few unripened tomatoes) I think this plce just gets worst as the years go by. It was dead in there...not surprised why. Do yourself a favor and save the money ms go elsewhere. Not that there are many options in Nogales. read more

I am from Tucson and age here visiting one of my offices. This place apparently has newer ownership, but the restaurant has been here for years (so I was told). We arrived for lunch shortly after 11am. The place is clean and is nicely decorated, it had an upscale dining feel to it. We ordered the salad bar, a mochomos appetizer, and I had a steak sandwich as my main course. The salad bar offerings were limited, but they were fresh and flavorful. I had some home made potato salad and cole slaw, along with some of the greens. This was an awesome start to my meal and proved to be a bit much. The appetizer was ridiculous. Deep fried shredded beef, corn tortillas, lime, avocado, guacamole, chips, salsa - OMG. This was fantastic and by the time I was finished with my portion, I was full. The meat was amazing and everything tasted super fresh. The guacamole was just right and not overdone of fancied up. The steak sandwich arrives with a side of fries and I am already full. This thing was delicious too. The bread was a hoagie style that was toasted and buttered, super moist. The steak was piled two slices high and was cooked perfectly. It was seasoned well and was not tough or chewy. They topped it with grilled onions, I was in heaven. Only negatives - the fries had a bit too much salt but I couldnt eat them anyway. The tortilla chips served with the mochomos could have been cooked slightly longer, but these are minor. The prices - a little higher than normal for a typical lunch but because of the quality and service, worth it! 5 out of 5 read more

This steakhouse reminds me of a scene from the movie casino. The decor was retro. The views were great and the service was good. I like this place for the atmosphere. And the food is decent. read more

This is ABSOLUTELY the WORST restaurant in the whole country! Salad bar came out of cans, calamari was dark brown and clumped together. There is no handicap stall in the restaurant, my $25 steak was smothered in some god awful sauce that tasted like brown liquid salt. The baked potato was literally cut in half and the "fresh vegetables" definitely came out of a freezer bag. The enchiladas were also covered in some atrocious liquid, I've had better enchilada sauce straight from a can. This was supposed to be a nice anniversary dinner for my parents, we should have gone to McDonald's. They actually tried to charge us for a steak I took two bites of. When I sent it back and told the server that everything was TERRIBLE, she shrugged and no sign of management. When my wife complained, they threatened to call the police. I'll do you one better Mr C, I'm going to make it my mission to get you shut down, sued, and hopefully jailed! read more

This restaurant was recommended by colleagues in Nogales Mexico. I stood at the hostess desk for five minutes w/o any service. I sat myself down at a table hoping for service. I heard the employees in the back. At one point an employee waived and said welcome. I sat for another five minutes and still received no service. Sad to say I got up and left with no communication except 'welcome '. read more

In town for a week or so and needed something nice on a Friday. It's a huge place, with a great view, and the portions are ample and the food good. Steak was an excellent cut (maybe a tad rare, but all in all, fine) and maybe a little pricey, but not outrageous. The service was awful. The staff ignored me the whole time, never refilled my tea, and when I was finished, I had to wave down my server after sitting around for 20 minutes. Only come here if you have a lot of time to kill. I'll pass anytime I'm here in the future. read more

My son has only been in the area for 12 months and wanted to try Mr. C's. I had told him that it used to be a great place to eat but the quality had gone down over the years. All six of us packed up and went to celebrate father's day early and our (wife and I) 51st wedding anniversary. Service was good but the fact that there were only 3 sets of customers should have been a warning. I ordered steak and lobster but had to settle for steak and shrimp, no lobster to be had. There was another substitution on one of the other plates ordered. I preface the following comments y noting my son and his wife are trained culinary professionals and I have cooked a Lot of meat for events over the years. When our orders arrived we all commented about how salty the meat was. That is 4 over salted steaks. My son's Ribeye was ordered rare and delivered cooked to medium. You can read his review of June 15 for further details of the poor quality of the salad bar and I will add one more, he serving utensils for the salad bar are small spoons, presumably to prevent customers from putting too much on their plates. They can still use small utensils but please use slotted spoons so the liquid from the number 10 cans can drain back into the container and not get into our salad. My son sent his steak back (medium, not rare and over salted. He did not want a replacement at least partially because of the "god awful sauce". Yet the restaurant would not give us credit on the bill. We paid for substandard preparation and serving. We asked to see the manager - no manager on duty. We asked to see the owner - no owner on duty. My daughter-in-law noticed someone who looked managerial and explained the problem to him I will write the owner if I can get a name and address. He looked at the bill and then gave it back to the server with no changes. Meanwhile, I have filed a dispute with the credit card company about cost of the rejected steak. We want that amount removed from the bill. I gave a good tip to our server because it was not her fault that management chose to hide. We've lived in the area for 13 years and I am associated with several groups that eat out for various reasons such as celebrating another year of volunteer service. I will suggest that Mr. C's be excluded as a potential site for our gatherings. read more

Had a great meal here last night! Jose, the owner, stopped by our table to make sure everything was meeting our expectations. My steak was delicious and the rest of my party - the other 6 - all loved their food too. I'd come back again and again. Loved it! read more

My husband and I decided we needed a nice dinner tonight so we thought to try Mr. C's. where there is 4 and half stars. Sad to say we were really disappointed. To start they bring out saltine crackers with butter. Last time I checked we were at a restaurant where most plates are 20.00 or above not the local diner. We received our drinks and didn't get a refill till we were over half way done with our dinner. We even asked for one but didn't receive anything for another 10 min. we saw our food sitting under the red lamp for about 10 min before being brought to our table. Not the chef's fault he was ringing the bell our server was no where to be found. Our meals were delicious. We had the carne asade and the chicken parm. After waiting a good 10 min with no one checking on us we got up and went to the register asking for our bill. We were sadly disappointed. We will not be coming back or referring this place. read more

I was really disappointed with the shrimp tacos. They were really dry and there wasn't any kind of sauce to hold it together. We sat in the bar. The whole place had a 50's type feel. The dinner menu was very pricey. Tables in the bar were very wobbly so we moved to another table that was just as bad. Food took a long time to get to the table. read more

April 11, 2014 Mr. C's Restaurant 282 W View Point Drive Nogales, Arizona 85621 To Whom It May Concern: We went there on this past Friday evening. We heard the fish and chips were good so we thought we'd try it. We liked their salad bar and the fish. However, when we asked for another portion of fish we were brought small scraps fried in batter, nothing like the first order we were served. The waitresses told us they were told there was no more fish. It is Friday evening and it is their special - yet we were told there was no more fish. If there was no more fish, why were we served scraps of batter with hardly any fish? Why not just say, "We ran out of fish." Which is hard to believe as it is 6 pm, dinnertime, and it is their special. It is all you can eat fish!! The service was substandard. They had all these waiters and waitresses gathered around talking and ignoring their patrons. Our drinks disappeared and we could not get them refilled unless we got one of the "busy" employees attention. I don't know how many times we said, "Excuse me," only to be ignored. The waitress that took our money apologized. She seemed genuinely embarrassed. We will never be back, they made it abundantly clear, they don't want the business. We will go to Wisdom's where they treat their patrons well and have wonderful food. M. Anastasi read more

Waiter could barely understand me. Tacos were no good. Seems like an odd place for a band to play.

in town for business with coworkers, and stumbled upon Mr C's...seems like a solid Nogales staple, full of friendly people, with good service, tasty food, at a fair price...tough to beat the value when in Nogales! read more

I love this place!!!!! They have an amazing steak sandwich, the salad bar is delicious, the calamari is one of the best I've had....and I would definitely recommend the Nachas Cavera Appetizer it is absolutely to die for!!!!!! Definitely one of the best and oldest restaurant's in Nogales 39 years of the best Nogales has to offer. read more

Best steak in southern AZ! Prime Aged beef, charcoal broiled! expensive but worth it.

Probably one of the better offerings of this dusty border town. And though it's not that good, I haven't found anything better when my travels take me to Nogales. I've been about three times and will likely return. read more

My favorite is Shrimp Fettucini Alfredo with the Parmesan bread... It's perfect! And the salad bar that comes with every meal is great too.

We have enjoyed Mr C's for at least 10 years. It's one of the few places that don't act like they want you to leave as it's getting late. You can eat in the bar or large dining area. The bar can be noisy when a game is playing on the TV but otherwise, it's quiet. Food is good and servce is too. Salad bar comes with every meal and the price is right. read more
