Unique, artistic and bold, Café Poca Cosa has consistently caught the attention of local and visiting foodies, and has helped put Tucson on the map for Mexican food. A far cry from the bland Tex-Mex that can be found across the Southwest, the food at Café Poca Cosa is fine Mexican with a modern twist, served in vibrant digs located in the heart of downtown Tucson. With a constantly changing menu written on tableside chalkboards, diners never know exactly what they will get—other than fresh, taste-bud-tingling dishes and excellent service. With the end times fast approaching, we can think of no finer last meal than a plato Poca Cosa, a sampler of three chef's-pick dishes.
