Diner Reviews

"We dined here years ago, and we were pleasantly surprised to enjoy our time here in so many ways. The food came so fast after ordering that I had only taken a few sips of a custom made sanrita (sangria in a margheurita). And the food was outstanding. I also needed gluten free and the waitress was very willing to check with the kitchen to assure what I ordered was indeed gluten free. The creme brulee was fabulous! We were also happy that the total check did not break the bank. An all around outstanding dining experience."

"Very Pretty Place. Upon entry you are hit with the most beautiful smell of Orange Blossom. Had a reservation. Seated in awful space. Felt like cafeteria seating. Didn't feel special. Seated so two of us faced rest rooms. Food very good. Avocado Chicken, rich, gooey and satisfying. Beef Fajitas, great pepper selection, nicely cooked beef, but lots of oil. Pollo Asada, nicely cooked, BBQ satisfying. Excellent Bread Pudding, light but pleasing."

"I visit Tucson every year and this is one of the spots I love to visit. Outdoor dining is the best I've seen in Tucson, wait staff is extremely helpful and friendly, overall ambiance is first rate, food has always been fantastic. I would (and have) recommended several times."

"Menu was an eclectic Southwestern flavor. Similar to Metro Grill and owned by same group. Service was good. Not too noisy."

"We had a delightful birthday lunch at Old Pueblo Grill. The patio was lovely and the food was delicious. OPG is a great place to take people from out of town to get a taste Southwest cooking and charming atmosphere."

"Wife and I had not been here for a while, and this was an even better experience than I remember. Wonderful food, and plenty of it without going overboard on the portion sizes. The house salad was terrific, the ribeye steak was cooked perfectly and had outstanding flavor. The accompanying vegetables and potatoes were also done perfectly, and had amazing flavor. My wife's Avocado Chicken was delicious (I sampled it) and also cooked perfectly. Both plates were very attractive when served (and very empty when we had finished). I won't be waiting so long to go back, again."

"This Monday combination plate special has to be one of the best deals in Tucson.............selection of Mexican entrée from a large list served with rice and beans.............for just $5.00! Food was ample, delicious and accompanied by outstanding service. Such a deal."

"We love to visit OPG...the food is consistently good and generous portions allow us to share entrees. The outdoor patio is beautiful and great for this time of year. We had great service, the food and drinks were the best. We will definitely be back when visiting Tucson."

"This was a self-treat on Valentine's Day and was a favorite dining spot for my husband and me any time of the year. I love sitting outside, especially near the fountain! Beautiful ambiance, wonderful food, excellent service. Great place to take out-of-state visitors for an impressive dining experience at any time!"

"The food was soooo good. We ordered meals for 3 children and the portions were huge. Our daughters $6 kid hamburger was as big as head. She had plenty for lunch the next day. In fact each child had a huge plate of food ordered from the kids menu and plenty of leftovers. It was delicious. We'll definitely be back again and again."

"Food was no better than restaurants on east coast. Fajitas were especially disappointing"
Dined on 2/5/2014
"I would go to this restaurant every time we dined out if we lived in Tucson. The food was consistently great. Atmosphere was elegant. Loved the bar for a different dining experience. Loved the Margaritas. Happy hour appetizers made a great meal. The combination dinners were also great. This restaurant also has an interesting history."

"I'd never been to the Old Pueblo Grill before so this was a first for me. I was very satisfied with my meal. The steak was not as good a cut as I think should be offered considering there is only one offered on the menu. Living on the Northwest side of town, it's definitely not a drive I would make just to go there, but if on that side of town, it would be a decent choice for dinner or lunch."
Dined on 1/29/2014
"As always, Old Pueblo Grille did not disappoint. The Southwestern and Mexican menu provides something for everyone. The waiter checked on us frequently (but without hovering)."
Dined on 1/20/2014
"The setting Old Pueblo is really "old pueblo". Mud brick exterior walls, beautiful courtyard for outside dining. Secluded. The service was excellent and the quality of good was very good. Fresh ingredients. The Caesar salad that I had was the real thing....you could clearly discern the egg in the dressing."

"The calamari appetizer may be the best in Tucson.. also had the Sampler Appetizer.. also wonderful.. Rattlesnake eggs.. YUM. Firecracker Shrimp.. very good. Everyone enjoyed their lunch and the beer selection is above average for Tucson. Wonderful service, although the place was not busy for Saturday lunch.. I don't know why.."

"The smoked pork loin was delicious and moist but a little tough. The chipotle mac and cheese was fabulous as was the pulled pork. The enchiladas were also delicious with the house smoked chicken in one of the enchiladas. Portions were large so everyone took food home. We were all way to full to try any of the deserts. We ate early so it was very quiet until a party with a little child was seated next to us."

"We have been coming here for years. Great atmosphere: cozy with the fireplace going. Met with friends for a nice dinner after a movie. The food is always good. Service very good."

"We took the whole family here to use some gift cards we were given and we had a nice time and had some delicious food. We ordered a sampler platter for an appetizer to share and everything on it was delicious. It had stuffed chorizo mushrooms, rattlesnake eggs, shrimp and quesadillas. I ordered the Hatch Chili Pot roast (with mashed potatoes and calabacitas). The meat was so tender and the sauce was amazing. My other half ordered the Carnitas taco plate and was in heaven. It came with all sorts of sides: rice, charro beans, green chile mac'n'cheese. So good. The kids meals were just okay, a cheeseburger and noodles with butter (which was macaroni noodles with no flavor). No dessert menu was seen or offered. Overall, very good."

"We had a reservation; were seated promptly; server seemed quite knowledgeable. Six people in our party. All had excellent, outstanding entrees, except one; half slab of ribs was tough, in fact very hard (meat, that is)."
Dined on 12/24/2013
"Our first experience here was the Thanksgiving Day Buffet. We sampled a bit of each dish and agreed that the food was quite tasty. The mac and cheese with the Hatch green chiles was outstanding, and I understand, a signature dish for them. The staff attention was not intrusive and never left us needing anything for long enough for us to feel neglected. We felt comfortable and appreciated there. We plan to return."

"The restaurant was all decked out for the holidays, and a fire was roaring in the fireplace. We particularly like the fact that the restaurant opens from 11 AM on, on Sundays, as we like to dine out after going to the TSO or Opera matinees on Sundays, and other places don't open until 5 PM. My husband and I had the sea bass with shrimp, a delicious choice. I also had the house salad and my husband had the chicken tortilla soup; both were very tasty. The server had a very "off" night, starting with spilling all of our water right next to our table and not serving our bottle of wine until we were finished with our dinner. Then, the bill was twice confused with the other couple's with whom we dined. He did apologize."
Dined on 12/8/2013
"Our server was ok. The hostess never made eye contact or said a word. They weren't all that busy. I expected more hospitality in a restaurant like this."
Dined on 12/7/2013
"Everything was very tasty. I ordered a side of the hatch chili mac n cheese, which was placed "under" my avocado chicken?? Strange & messy presentation...We had the sampler platter for an appetizer; very good, except for the still refrigerator cold stuffed mushrooms! The server's voices were a little loud for the atmosphere. But overall experience was good and we'll be back. The restaurant itself is beautiful and nicely laid out. The prices were exceptionally reasonable--very surprising and nice for the quality of food."
Dined on 12/3/2013
"but we were seated inside at a dark table in a corner. what should have been hot buffet food was served out of disposable aluminum foil pans and was barely warm. food was mostly tasteless and oversalted. when we commented to floor manager/host about the food, he explained that he hadn't tried any of it. waste of money."

"I have eaten at opg several times and generally been happy with the food and service. Thanksgiving was a total bomb."

"We had the buffet for thanksgiving, as we were traveling to tucson on Thanksgiving day. The food was good- traditional with a twist- Mac and cheese with chilis and a pork with hats chili's. Tasty, but the presentation was not very festive or special. Also, the place needs some updating and renovating- it looks like it needs some TLC. Staff was nice and welcoming."
Dined on 11/28/2013
"Food was good for Thanksgiving, but would have liked to had yeast rolls, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie and pecan pie. The green bean casserole was not too good, the green beans were raw. Tried to seat two people at a booth for eight, but we pushed back and were seated in a booth for four, would had preferred a table."
Dined on 11/28/2013
"My friend and I decided last week that we really didn't want to cook for our families, which now number 2 each. So much work and leftovers for such a small group. There was a wide variety of food, and it was so good. It was hard to stop. I could only get tastes so that I didn't overeat too much, there was so much to choose from. The atmosphere was great, and it was like having lunch with your family, The servers were very attentive and checking on us. Highly recommend OPG for holidays, and every day in between!"
Dined on 11/28/2013
"Despite having made dinner reservation for Thanksgiving we were placed in a booth in the bar with football blaring in the background. Not the experience we were looking for on Thanksgiving. If we had wanted thanksgiving dinner in a pub environment with TV we would have gone to a pub. Will not go back for special occasions and will not recommend this restaurant accordingly. Getting a thanksgiving dinner reservation through open table obviously has no influence on where you are placed. We could have walked off the street and got a booth in their bar."
