We are a longtime fans of the cup, but the last two times we have visited it has fallen short. I asked for a medium burger and it came out well done. The soup had absolutely zero flavor, and the server actually agreed. We love their strawberry cheesecake, but seasonally they were out of it this time. I hope they improve their food quality because their desserts remain always on point.
Great place for dinner, but I'd recommend getting a reservation! (Which we did) Food was delicious, and came out quickly. Dad got the pork schnitzel and loved it. I got the burger and fries and had every bite. The fries had the perfect texture!
On my way out after breakfast, I caught three employees at the front and I told them “your food is disgustingly….delicious”. I witnessed a nanosecond group panic emerge followed by relieved laughter. I genuinely felt bad for the scare I really gave them. Good thing I don’t say the same thing twice. For real, the care and craftsmanship that went into my Huevos Rancheros with poached egg covered in optional green chilies and jalapeños on top of homemade tortillas cuddled up with crispy papas could not have been improved if Jesus himself was in the kitchen. Maybe he was? Of course, I always have to have dessert with my meal and the half order of orange French toast topped with optional chocolate chips and real maple syrup made my Tuesday morning feel like Friday at 5 PM. Super cool historical location with shaded patio seating and amazing service made this a saved location for every future downtown Tucson visit.
Last year we had breakfast here and loved the food, so this year we had to come back. The place is quaint, we requested seats inside , it was a bit warm outside. The food was delicious and the service was on point as always. Not a place for super large parties. I' d say parties of 4 to 6 size ok. Pet friendly if you sit outside. Overall, I recommend.
What a gorgeous hotel, lots of cool original items to check out on your visit. The potatoes were delicious and the cubano coffee as well. We saw the community radio booth on our way in "on air" sign and everything and bought tickets for jazz at century room on our way out
