Old Pueblo Grille

  • November 29, 2005
  • Rated 2 of 5 by ParrotTalk from Boston, Massachusetts

Of the restuarants I went to in Tucson, this was my least favorite. I had chosen it on the basis of its Southwestern cuisine, and I had heard that it had a very pretty dining patio. The patio was indeed nice, with a small bubbling fountain and lights in the trees. The food and service was less impressive to me. When I arrived there were about 4-5 groups already seated on the patio, and I asked to be seated there as well. I was given a table and must have waited 15 minutes before I was able to flag down a waitress and ask if there was a waitress for my table.

Finally, the correct waitress arrived, and I gave my order of the trio of salsas and chips for an appetizer, Four Amigos enchilada platter, and one of the specialty margaritas. Thus began the wait for the food. Luckily, I was entertained by the management and waitstaff as they tried repeatedly (and unsuccessfully) to light any of the "Mr. Propane" heating lamps on the patio. You would think none of them had ever seen one before-- strange, since I assume these need to be lit most evenings as it gets cooler. Once my food finally arrived, it was merely okay--nothing special. Perhaps I was there on an off night, but the whole experience left me wishing I'd gone to one of the many other Southwestern or Mexican restaurants in Tucson.
