Location: This is located near a strip-mall shopping center on Campbell and Prince. Not too hard to find just tucked in the parking lot of the strip mall. First impression: Looked like a fun place to eat. Has a nice patio area. Had two ladies out in the patio area making fresh tortillas so that was nice to see. I heard you could purchase tortillas filled with different fillings right at their station but we did not get to do that at the time. This restaurant looks like a good place to spend Happy Hour also. Food: Food was excellent. It tasted fresh and presentation was good. Was not a "big" fan of the "enchilada side" but did like the "zucchini" side dish. Their appetizer Salsa was very tasty with a little edge to it. They did well on their refills as any of the servers who walked by refilled their beverage (my tip is always based off not only food but refill availability and timeliness). :) Overall: Yes I would definitely go back. My family loved it and so did I. They usually have coupons available in mailings so that makes it even better. I think you should give this a shot if you are in the area.

Wow! El Saguarito has great Mexican food with a healthy emphasis. Is that possible? Yes it is. My daughter and I ate at El Sauguarito last night. My wife and I went last week. I really like the variety of flavors El Saguarito Mexican food has to offer. The zucchini casserole tasted like they took the best fresh zucchini, chopped it into squares and baked it just moments before it landed on my plate. Topped with cheese and delish seasonings, the zucchini was the bomb. The fish tacos were amazing. No microwaved fish sticks at the El Saguarito. These tacos were stuffed full of mild white fish and topped with lettuce and light seasoning, with secret sauce on the side. Believe me the three taco platter will fill you up. We look forward to returning soon, to the tiny restaurant that surprised us all.

Overall good Mexican food - I went there on a Saturday with my fiance. Fresh tortillas were being made outside the main entrance and were available to take inside as a snack for free. Inside, there was a man with a guitar singing in Spanish as we ate. Tried multiple dishes and appetizers, with most tasting good or at least average. Calabacitas is available as a side dish instead of the usual beans and rice if you desire. Multiple people were checking on us and seeing to our needs while we were there. We really enjoyed our experience there. Note: Ive been there on a weekday and the tortillas and live entertainment were not present. That aspect is likely only present on the weekend.

I went in here just to use the restroom and they told me I cant unless I buy something (cheap asses) but whatever ok so I bought a hot cocoa which was $2. When I took a drink, it was basically water with less than half the packet of hot chocolate in it. GROSS! I am pretty annoyed because I basically got charged to use the restroom but was ok but I kind of wanted the hot chocolate anyway so just disappointing but the lady at the front was friendly so I gave two stars.

Food and service good however they dont tell you upfront that they will add a 20% service charge to your bill for coupon usage. When I asked about this charge the waitress stated that this was the tip. She didnt notify us when she delivered the bill that the tip was included and the "service charge" wasnt indicated as a tip. This is borderline unethical behavior leading to double tipping and mandates a 20% tip. No notice was given at any time about this charge.

My family has been frequenting this place since it opened. It is family owned and operated. The food is great. The live music on the patio is always really nice and creates a warm comfortable atmosphere. They make our food to-order, even when it deviates quite a bit from the menu, which we really appreciate. Id recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for a local, comfortable, friendly atmosphere with live entertainment.

My new favorite place to eat! Always happy after I order (off of GrubHub) and delivery is sooo fast its fantastic. I have two small children and another on the way so its not likely I would have been able to go into the physical location but thankfully a pregnancy craving helped me stumble upon them. Ive ordered on four separate occasions and each time me and my daughters try something new... Were in love!

I discovered this place through Groupon, and it was a good deal so figured we would try it out. I was very impressed! It was a bit of a drive from where I live, so we got there a little late.. They were very friendly regardless, we sat outside on the patio and enjoyed margaritas. I highly recommend the cheese crisp!!! Im not sure how "healthy" it all was, but it was definately good!

Loved my experience here! Came with a large group and were seated right away, after offering all the kids free, fresh tortillas with choice of sweet toppings. Very good tortillas! All the staff were fun and friendly. Festive live music on heated patio. Very tasty food and HUGE portions! Green chili beef was tender, a bit spicier than expected. Lots of good gluten free options!

This place is a little hidden gem. I travel to Tucson once a year and have been doing so for about 15 years now. The last few trips, Ive made this place a destination! The cheese crisp is amazing and so are the margaritas. Really good food. My father also says the coffee is really good! I would recommend this place to friends and family!

Disappointed in the food i order the California carne Asada burito the guacamole in the burito was awful no flaver to it, no pico de gallo in it. The margarita taste like it came from out the box the complementri salsa taste like they put srimp in it not what i expected they should really hire a cheff for what they are charging

Ordered some Chilaquiles and Loved them!! The Chile sauce is perfect. As far as the location, its very convenient from my lunch break. Very friendly people and wish I could eat the whole dish I ordered. Lots of food for the price. If I had three thumbs, they would be pointed UP!!! Keep up the great food and service...

Great place! We tried out this place because we had groupons. The environment is nice. We were easily accommodated on a Friday night with a group of 7. The food was amazing! The wait staff and the owner are extremely friendly and would come chat with us every now and then. Everyone in my group was happy with their food.

Came in for a late lunch on a Tuesday. Easy to get a seat. Server was prompt and helpful. I had the fish tacos. Good portion. The fish was slightly dry but the cilantro cream sauce they serve with it balanced it out well. Micheladas are very tasty and big! We will come back again.

Not a bad place at all - but not exactly my style. The food is simple - a little too simple. I guess I expected more flavors from an authentic Mexican cafe. The service was lightning fast and friendly though. Overall, a nice experience. And do come for lunch - its a great deal.

I love this little Mexican gem. Drive thru Mexican restaurant? How cool is that! Plus the service is really great and reasonable prices. Staff is always really nice. Their patio looks great and sometimes have mariachi band. Good food. I recommend it!
