   Delicious brunch, attractively served, with pleasant servers and staff. Our only complaint would be that there probably weren't enough servers, considering it was Mother's Day and there were a lot of guests. We had a lovely time!

   Eclectic menu sorta Mexican with a couple of unique items that are not typical "hotel" food. The location is beautiful and the live music was good from 6-8. Service was so so, a bit slow, and wasn't crowded.

   The menu selection is limited, however, there has always been something worth ordering from the menu. Service is always friendly and competent.

   Our food was excellent as usual, service was a little slow. We been here twice both times food excellent, service slow. Either they need more kitchen help or more wait staff. Otherwise I consider it a good place to eat.

   We haven't been here in awhile, and won't be back. The room is lovely, the servers are very friendly but some of them have not been trained properly. Everything was delivered at once: our first course came at the same time as our entry. The salads were a thrown together affair, the roasted corn was old and dry, the fish was inedible. The server was kind enough to take it off our bill.

   We made an early reservation at 5:30 At 6:30 we had no food. The waitress very apologetic as well as head waitress. Chips and salsa brought to table, but no dinner, saying the chef was behind. Our beverage was brought promptly by the waitress. There was no dinner at 6:55 , we were never served. Head server said they would comp the meal, but their was no food delivered in time. We left.

    This was an uninspired menu. It is located close to the Linda Ronstadt Music Hall which is why we selected it.

    It took 2.5 hours for our experience. Needed more than one server for our group of 11. Food was average.

    This restaurant is next to the Music Hall. Many people were there to get dinner before the show. After going to the bar to get drinks after waiting for service for 20 minutes, I asked about getting ordering food. I was told the kitchen was backed up and hour and a half! We never got food and nobody even came to ask for our order. This is my third time there since they have opened and they always had some kind of drama with the kitchen.

    Nicely decorated, good and attentive service, good drinks and good selection of drinks - but the food itself was quite bland.

    I was REALLY disappointed. I had been twice before and the food was very good that’s why I returned with friends from out of town that specifically wanted to get good Mexican food. This time, it wasn’t good at all; the guacamole was not seasoned and had unusual vegetables inside, the carne asada tacos were extremely dry, other tacos were equally not impressive, including the special Birria tacos, the refried beans seems taken out of a can, the rice was just plain white rice, sticky, not cooked or seasoned properly. We had churros for dessert that tasted good but had a very strong chemical odor. Drinks were ok. Service was fine too, but the food was not. Will not return.

    Our cocktails were great! Dinner average or less. No goat cheese eliminated one salad option. Seems they ran out of the cheese the day before. Surely goat cheese available from somewhere? Tamale dish nothing but cornmeal? Black beans crunchy. My friend said the refried beans were very good.

    Have been there a few times. Portions seem to be getting smaller and entree selections are quite limited. Most entrees seem to come with potatoes, but yellow and green veggies are absent. Our first visit, last year, was terrific. Each visit seems to be less so.

    We were there to eat prior to the hockey match. With only two tables with guest, the hostess tried to seat us at a table just outside the kitchen door. After our refusal to sit there we were reseated elsewhere. Three of us wanted the Short Ribs, which were not going to be ready for another hour at least they said. So that meant 7:30pm. So we all 4 had the special tacos with beef. Two of us, basically had all fat and could not eat our meal. The beans were bland. Very sad, because the restaurant had a nice vibe.

    Had reservation arrived early and were immediately seated. Ten minutes to get drunk from the bar, 45 mins for entrees. One had nice presentation and flavor but not hot, the other the tortillas were so tough you couldn’t chew them. I went to trip adviser to look for restaurant near Tucson music hall. Looked at their menu and it looked really good: 8-10 entrees, shrimp, fish, beef, chicken, pork. When we arrived and were shown the menu there were only 4 entrees. Very disappointed

    Our server did his best but they were understaffed. Service was slow. Soup and quesadilla were good but tacos were average. It is in a good location so I would still recommend to people going to downtown Tucson

    Went to eat before a concert at the TCC, it was a busy night. Took an hour to order and another hour to get our food. Food is ok not great, it is way overpriced.

    We live in Tucson and frequently attend events at the Tucson Convention Center complex. Mezquite is very convenient with a lovely patio and excellent service. But the management should be doing a better job. Three problems on this visit: 1) No Wine list. They have wine but no list. The poor waiter did the best he could but it is absurd not to have a list. Also disappointing to have no Spanish wine by the glass. A mediocre Malbec was the only Latin wine. 2) The tap for the Dragoon IPA wasn't working, so my husband also had to settle for an inferior beer. 3) My salad of choice was not available, so again I had to settle for something else. We almost left but we hung in and enjoyed what we got well enough. No one in management apologized or made any complimentary offer. Very disappointing.

    It’s was very loud and very bright - kind of reminded me of cafeteria dining. My food was good, my husband’s was just ok. I don’t mind a pricey dinner but the food and the ambiance have to be worth it and it just wasn’t.
