saguaro corners restaurant & bar

all around good time. we have gone several times and each time is a hit! we have sat inside where there is a beautiful view, outside where you enjoy the weather, the live music, and wonderful food and drink choices. my favorites are the watermelon ceviche, the mahi tacos and some amazing desserts! the service staff, the bartenders and everyone that works there are all friendly and work hard to make it a special time!

food lacks quality. we have been to saguaro corners three times since it opened - once the first week, second time a couple weeks later, and most recently this evening.

the first time we were there, we realized that it was the first week in production and understood that it was a new operation. we did not complain when some of the food was cold and took a long time to arrive. we did think it was odd that the wings came uncut. here we were expecting hot wings, and we got this huge plate of full size wings. was not appealing at all.

on our second visit, the food was better. nothing i would rave about, but better than my first visit. there was live music and it was wonderful. the 6th street band played that night and they were awesome. it is such a beautiful setting out at saguaro corners, and so right for a perfect desert evening in tucson.

tonight, i ordered chicken tortilla soup and i came across a 3 inch strip of boiled chicken skin, bumps and all. just gross. spoiled my appetite. i tried to eat my second item which was calabacitas over rice and beans. i don't eat white rice, so i asked if i could just have it over black beans, but was told no, it was a mixture. i had like 5 black beans total when it was brought to me. but that wasn't the worst...it was the what seemed like days old squash...mushy....that was awful.

the staff is really nice. they are trying. i don't think it is a staff issue at this point. it seems to be a food quality issue. aside from the issues i have already raised, they have very little if any healthy options. we see what happened when i tried to get black beans and no white rice. throughout the menu, it is chicken thighs they serve, not chicken breast. just seems like the focus is delivering on the cheap. that is a shame. hope it changes. would love to take my family there and have a better experience and am always looking for new, cool places to take my large client parties.

super disappointed. good luck with that menu. besides being the design of what must be a cooking school dropout, the food selections would be best consumed when positively drunk or buzzed. i mean really, could you spare the two tablespoons of re-fried beans you put on the lathargic cheese crisp? the shrimp and bread dish was an embarrassment. you must not care that hot, spicy foods do not appeal to everyone. sorry, but we couldn't get past the appetizers, because we lost our appetites. we had to ask for plates. the table next to ours had to ask for silverware...after being served their entres eight minutes prior.however, one should end on a high note. the beer was cold! i give you five months before you are gone unless you wise up and improve.

beer selection was surprisingly good and the wings were phenomenal. good atmosphere and i liked my waitress. definitely worth checking out.

very disappointed!!. the evening began on a bad note. saturday, 5/24/14, we arrived prior to our reservation time and were escorted to a front row table which we requested. we were looking forward to a relaxing evening in the patio listening to music and enjoying dinner. a few minutes later, we were told there had been an error and the table was already reserved for another party. we were moved to a very uncomfortable picnic table toward the back of the patio. there were six of us and in the beginning service was acceptable but as the evening went on it was all but non-existent. i ordered a rib-eye steak and was told they were all out of rib-eyes so i settled for a new york strip cooked medium. the salads were served fairly quickly, but it took 40 minutes to get the first plate delivered. my steak followed about 10 minutes later and it was barely warm. it was a cheap cut, overcooked, and the potatoes were not the ones listed on the menu as an accompaniment to the steak. i didn't send it back as i was not about to wait another 50 minutes for a replacement. the iced tea was not fresh brewed and no lemon was served with it. as the evening progressed, and people began to leave we were able to move to a regular table with decent chairs. since we were unable to get the attention of our waiter, we had to go up to the bar to get our drinks.
the patio is a pleasant place to dine but they need to get their act together if they expect to be successful. although i really enjoyed the music, i would not return here for a meal.

best restuarant ever!!! bloody mary's are to die for!!!! everyone needs to go!!!. my husband and i love this place!!! been going since january and its our 1x a week dine out date!!! they make the best bloody marys out there!!! they have great servers, amazing bartenders and lots of listening ears to those that have concern. of course, we love it and there are no concerns here!!! as business owners ourselves here in tucson, we hope that this small business thrives successfully and can continue the amazing service on food and drinks as they are doing all these months!!! the variety in food is also very good!!! no complaints here!! plus they have live music on the weekends that is soo awesome!!! love it love it

best calabasita taco ever.. i am confused about the poor reviews. i have visited saguaro corners twice, both times shortly after opening on sunday. the first visit was the last sunday of january. i was waited on by jessica, who was very attentive and friendly. i had a vodka thingy and the saguaro fries. both were super yummy and fairly priced. i went there again yesterday with my son (mothers day) and was greeted by jessica who remebered me and what i ordered. this time i had the calabasita taco. i happen to be quite a taco lover... and i mean all kinds of tacos. but this was the best taco i have ever had... ever!! the veggies were grilled and seasoned to absolute perfection! my son had the mojo taco and said it was delicious. maybe they have differant cooks and i keep getting the good one, i don't know, but i will going there again real soon. my only suggestion would be to provide a bit of shade outside.

enjoyed dinner with friends tonight several of us had the seafood taco platter and it was excellent. reasonable prices, good service. plan to return.

great place, really relaxing and friendly atmosphere. the food really has flavour, and the kids love it.

music but much more. went for the music saturday night but enjoyed the food even more. everything from the jamie platter to the scallop tower to the jamie margaritas were special. enjoyed the atmosphere as well. the new saguaro corners is a welcome addition to the eastside.

welcometo the neighborhood-. was pleasantly surprised. the decor, staff, food, prices are right on the money. and this is what my wife had to say ,so i know your going to be a hit in the neighborhood.

we stopped in here for our lunch during our visit to tucson very casual and comfortable setting. the service was good though we did have to look for the server to get refills, we then ordered a variety of burgers, sandwiches, appetizers. all the food was very good, everyone was very happy and we will definitely come here again.

great meal had the spicy shrimp taco while a little too spicy for me it was worth the heat. chips are amazing! great stop after going to saguaro national park!

the wildlife viewing was delightful, the food was delicious, and the staff was kind and attentive. i will definitely be back!

great destination!. i've been here a half dozen times in the past year and each time the service and food were both excellent! i am a fan of the calabasitas tacos - i have not found vegetables cooked so well anywhere else in tucson. once we had the special of the day, scallop towers, yum. family members are a fan of the jamie taco. the mini sonoran dogs are very good. also, waitress recommended a refreshing and delicious pear cider one hot day which hit the spot. it's a comfortable environment with nice view of nature and wildlife through large windows in the dining area. i haven't eaten a burger yet, but i've seen them being delivered and they look good! good food, good service, fun environment.
