Tucson Restaurants

The menu is trying to be just so nouveau. So many things had to be explained as to what exactly they were. They sounded so neat on the menu, but really were nothing special. Portions are small and it was difficult choosing because the options were few. We had the stuffed grape leaves - pretty good taste, but one order is only 1 on the plate for $6. The potato bread is actually 4 small rolls - a novelty and an ok change from standard table bread. But ultimately they're a "what's the big deal?" about them. The pork carnitas was just a pile of shredded pork with some spices and cilantro leaves. Again, nothing special and you could get as good or better in an average Mexican restaurant. All 3 of our menu items were too salty, especially the pork. They even charged me $3 for the "sour" part of a standard house whiskey sour, make it a $16 cocktail! Cocktail menu is somewhat limited as they have no fruit juice mixers (like pineapple juice or OJ). I was looking forward to much better here, but went away disappointed.

We went to Doughbirds for the 3rd time to celebrate a birthday. Meal was very good , portion of pizza could have been larger . Chicken tenders were delicious as always. The dessert , toffee cake was fabulous. Our waiter , Ernie, is always very attentive and efficient. Overall an enjoyable evening.

Our waitperson was top-notch. I forget her name but I would go back because of her first-class service.

This restaurant was recommended by our daughter who lives in Tucson. We have foodie friends visiting and we wanted a special place for her birthday. Tito and Pep far exceeded our expectations. Every dish was so tasteful, different and delightful. I particularly like the cold eggplant appetizer. Our daughter said we had to save room for the buttermilk panna cotta and it was good advice. All 4 of us left raving about the food. We also appreciate that the staff worked on Jan 1 st which is our friend's birthday.

A great family experience with healthy and tasty food options!
