Ocotillo Cafe

I love this cafe in the museum. Just a quaint little space that's also a bit romantic. The food selection for Sonoran desert nights is small, but well encompassing most dietary preferences. The food is outstanding and everything tastes wonderful. The service is even better, with some of the most friendly wait staff I've ever met. All in all, I look forward to returning!

What an unexpected surprise. Our group of 8 enjoyed lunch there today. Everything was superb. The restaurant ranks among Tucson's best. We were expecting overpriced tourist food, what we got a five star experience. The Topopo salad was the best I had ever ordered in Tucson, Several of our guests remarked the burger the offered was the best ever. Everybody raved about everything they served. Not a huge menu, but this is serious food made with world class produce, meats and ingredients. Bravo!

We enjoyed a perfect spring lunch outdoors at the Ocotillo Cafe at Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. Amazing chef & service, Thanks Katie! We had the carnitas, avocado, elote, heirloom tomato, tortilla strip salad, the steak frites with crispy sweet potato fries, tortilla soup and jicama mandarin orange slaw while sipping an orange blossom beer. My 360 photos were taken with a Ricoh Theta Z1.

First class dining located at the Aiizona Sonora Desert Museum. The drive there takes some time however is a wonderful scenic roue culminating in a leisurely meal with good food and great service. The chips with guacamole and trio of salsas was a great starter and a bargain. The vegetable tamale was different, good, and I recommend it. **TIP: For those not driving try the prickly pear margaritas. The make a good one! Walk off your meal with a stroll thru the museum outdoor pathways. (If you found my review helpful, please "like" it for me. Thanks!)
