Madera Village — Local services in Tucson

This is a small, neighborhood Safeway that stocks all the most popular items. There's a little less variety than a large store offers, but you can certainly get your weekly shopping done here. They have a wonderful bakery where I recently ordered a custom cake. It was delicious and decorated exactly to my specifications. I love the deli, where samples are offered and recommendations made by request. The best part for me is the produce section. The fruits and veggies are fresh!

This is a great store whether you're running in to pick up a few items or shopping for a special meal. I love the size and the welcoming and helpful staff. It's always clean and well-stocked. The only thing that this store doesn't have is a pharmacy. With several others around, the lack of a pharmacy isn't a big deal for me. I'd rather shop this store than a larger one because I get in and out faster. And, if I forget something that's on the other side of the store, I don't mind running back for it.

I highly recommend...

We went to La Herradua Mexican Restaurant. Adding a photo of my meal, combo plate #21 ( chile relleno, cheese enchilada, shredded beef taco, beans and rice I got on a separate plate) The food and service were great! Their chips come with salsa and a bean dip, both were very good. My grandson loved his chicken tacos, beans and rice, and the hubby went lite with a cheese enchilada and a beef rolled taco, which comes with pico, sour cream and guacamole, all delicious.(husband and I agreed their red sauce on the enchilada is awesome! Its creamy and not overpowering) The one disappointment was we ordered sopapillas for dessert...they looked pretty, but when we ate them, we could taste freezer burn, and you could see it as well so we didnt eat them sadly. Also noticed they charged us for 4 sopapillas when they served us 3. But all and all I would recomend their food, we have gone several times and never been anything but happy with their food. We went for brunch, so plenty of seating...

This is a weird review to write... It is a shopping plaza. The buildings are rather dated. Some of the shops and restaurants are quite nice. Some are to be avoided at all costs. You get some homeless hanging out when they aren't parading about the intersection asking for money for "bum stuff". It has a Safeway, Panda Express, and coldstone creamery. You can get your hair cut, buy some tools, or join the local Credit Union. There is a decent Italian place with non American portion sizes. Basically it is about as average as any other plaza in Tucson. I won't ding...
