The Cafe — Restaurant in Corona de Tucson

Front of house has NO clue what they are doing! Seated quickly, water brought over after 15 minutes, then no attention at all for 50 minutes. Finally placed our order which included a special that came with a beer. 30 minutes later I caught the attention of the waitress who had basically been ignoring us, asked her for more water and the beer. Could have made more money had u bought the beer out timely because it was quite tasty & given that service was taking so long, we probably would have all ordered one. Food was tasty except for the burnt cold sweet potato fries but couldn't wait another hour for replacement so didn't complain. Turning tables timely & the bar is where the money is, I am surprised you are still in business. Food is good but front of house is so bad it's not worth it. When paying the bill, the employees made a point of saying they are the only great game in town & the Copper Brothel Bistro is only 'ok'. Having been to both I SO totally disagree & trashing your competitor publicly is a POOR way of running your business....

Came here for lunch after wine tasting in the afternoon. My girlfriend had been here before (don't mix it up with the other "Cafe" a few doors down) and raved about the delicious food.

We were not disappointed. Great service; quaint, homey and comfortable decor; and the food was really good. We had a table of four people and ordered various things -- BLT on a croissant, Turkey Green Chili melt, Cheeseburger and finally what they referred to as the APE burger. ALL of it was great... the APE burger is a fun concept. You basically tell them what you like/dislike and the chef comes up with a special burger JUST for you. My husband likes spicy and traditional beef burger patty and basically told them nothing was off limits - just make it delicious. He said it was and it looked huge brimming with lots of toppings.

They also carry some local wines here -- one of our favorites being the Fluffer from Hops/Vines so we had a bottle of that as well.

I would come back here again...

Two of us visited on March, I had a special they were running, Burger topped with Chili. Very good, the topping was a black been chili (think more of a paste chili... so not runny at all but a bunch of flavored black beans) Side was potato salad, which was fresh and also very flavor full. I was very happy with my meal

Wife had a Portobello burger, with a side of carrots. She was very happy with her selection, the one minor gripe was her cucumber slices which had a bit of a freezer burn to them

Service was excellent, casual and very friendly and they were attentive, ensuring soda's and waters were full. When we arrived they were about at 50% capacity (inside.. as it was a slightly cool day) but was quickly at 100% capacity. Again the two person floor team managed all tables well. Our completed dishes were removed quickly and provide a bill in a very timely manner

So fresh flavorful food, nice environment, great service.. highly recommend. While the menu is limited they...
