    The food and service were both phenomenal. My husband and I went to Mojo for the first time on Valentine's Day and they absolutely killed it. We're going back STAT.

    The cuisine here is extraordinary, some of the most distinctive and beautifully flavored Mexican food that I have enjoyed. Service is prompt and skilled; the ambiance is tasteful and unpretentious. Convenient to all downtown Tucson attractions. Go! You'll be glad you did.

    A good consistent place for pizza and pasta, salads and drinks! Good wait staff, and the house wine is good enough not to waste $ on the wine list ( although some nice wines) Fair prices make it a good choice in downtown Tucson

    It was a Tuesday evening and so the restaurant wasn't very busy, and the noise level was very low but not unpleasantly low. I don't think they skimped out on the salad or soup bar. All of the food was fresh and very tasty. There was plenty of staff to serve you. All of them were quite nice and pleasant. The all-you-can-eat meats is worth the money. I don't think I've ever had so many different types of meat at one time. I really liked that they kept the portions small enough to try different things but large enough to really taste the flavor of the meat. They were more than happy to continue giving you more until you cried for mercy.
