saguaro corners restaurant & bar

best margarita ever!. my husband & i had the pleasure of dining at saguaro corners last saturday night for the first time since it reopened with new owners. although all the tables in the "room with a view" were taken, and it was a bit chilly to sit on the patio, we were happy to take a booth in the bar and observe people & servers coming and going. we were waited on attentively by "soup" the bartender and enjoyed the eclectic clientèle the bar attracted. for starters, i ordered the jamie margarita promised to be "muddled with jalepeño and lime." omg! i am so addicted! sweet & tart, hot & cold all at once! my dinner was a two-taco plate--a jaime original and the calabasitas. both were yummy. the only disappointment was the salsa which was too mild for my taste, but i was getting such warmth from the jamie margarita, i didn't miss the heat in the salsa. saguaro corners is definitely a re-newed favorite!!

lunch, too!. as a postscript to a review late last year (2013), we arrived somewhat early last night for dinner and first enjoyed the four dip/chips appetizer along with great draft beers and then enjoyed our tacos (with all the trimmings) - delicious and hot - after that. the place was hopping when we left - so glad to see this! following a hike this morning, we returned for a late lunch and both enjoyed our burgers (sandwich section) with lots of trimmings including the deep fried jalapeno chips. if you haven't been out this way (escalante and old spanish trail), do venture forth.

big changes have occurred at saguaro corners since its opening earlier this year. the service is attentive but not intrusive, our menu selections have been uniformly delicious (tonight we both enjoyed the blackened salmon tacos with rice and well-prepared beans; about three weeks ago i raved about the meatloaf) and arrive hot at the table in short order not matter whether the place is crowded with folks on a friday night who are there for the music on the patio (warmer weather then!) or less so upon a later arrival when a quieter atmosphere inside was so necessary. the biggest change was discovering table cloths instead of bare tables inside, softer light, and tealights in pretty containers at each table, as well. we encourage previous visitors to return! we certainly will.

great food!. i had the pleasure of eating at saguaro corners ice house in december, 2013. the homemade tortillas were possibly the best i've ever eaten. the view, from most of the seats in the restaurant, and also on the patio, is outstanding. we were entertained with some beautiful acoustic guitar music and our waiter, matthew, was outstanding. i highly recommend you visit this establishment, for the food, or just a relaxing drink on the patio.

patron. i've loved the location of saguaro corners for 30 years and was sad when it was closed for a number of years. but it is open again and better than ever. i love the atmosphere, service, food and drinks. it's just a relaxing place to be, with friendly wait staff and really good food....and cold beer. it is becoming my regular place!

sahuaro corners has become my favorite place to grab a tasty snack while enjoying my desert environment. my buds and i go there after a ride and take in a couple ipas.
great service, terrific appetizers, and just very cool!

terrific tacos. we were delighted by the re-opening of saguaro corners and thrilled by their contemporary menu. their tacos were a revelation -- what a terrific blend of textures and flavors and an exciting twist on traditional cuisine. we highly recommend the experience for food as well as atmosphere.

tasty and comfy. this place is quickly becoming a neighborhood favorite. the food is fresh and tasty and the serving staff is attentive without being in your face. the restaurant is constantly changing as the new owners are making physical improvements to restaurant as well as ensuring that everyone can get what they like to eat or drink. great variety of beers and a menu that meets the needs or any kind of diner and you can get portions sized to what you prefer. as a small eater i am constantly having to leave food that i am served and pay for. i really like the fact that i can order things a la cart if i do not want a huge portion and only pay for what i need. you can get a platter with any of the trimmings or you can order 1 taco if you want. great value and delicious!

saguaro corners is great!. the shrimp tacos are to die for.

new fan!. my husband and i have been there twice since the opening. each visit was fantastic. our food was delicious! i highly recommned the tamale pie!

great food and entertainment!. great food and the staff was wonderful! our family came out on a saturday night and enjoyed the live entertainment on the patio! i would definitely recommend this restaur

still charming........... remembered the old saguaro corners from the 1960's. my father used to take us there as kids where we'd watch the animals through large glass windows......while eating hamburgers and cokes.
that view of the javalinas, cactus wrens and even coyotes still exists in the new and modern "bistro type" saguaro corners. had some great mole chicken tacos along with a margarita with jalapeno ! everything was delicious! this is still a great place to stop for lunch, and especially to bring your winter visitors the sights and tastes of tucson! so glad it has reopened and kept its iconic name......

great restaurant. the food here is delicious and well prepared. beautiful scenery and the staff is far above par. wonderful place to spend the evening.

great east side gem. the food at saguaro corners is fresh, and unique. it is rare to find such a great little culinary gem on tucson's east side. i particularly loved the tamale pie, very sonoran style and not your a-typical wrapped tamale. will be back for the happy hour!

awesome place. we were looking for something new & different. boy, did we find it!! the food was great with wonderful infusions of flavor & inspiring twists on regular menu items. our 5 year old was extatic with the nature show feeling totally safe behind glass. the javalina really did show up!
the service was wonderful, we never had to hunt down a waiter.
we will be back.

saguaro corners nails it. saguaro corners has great food, prompt service and a wonderful ambiance. for me, it is the perfect place; quiet, out of the way and reasonably priced. i especially enjoyed the picture window views of birds feeding and the serene waterfall. many midtown restaurants are too noisy, too busy and make you wait for a table up to 30 minutes. i am only too happy to avoid that and patronize my own neighborhood businesses. kudos!
