I've now been to all three Casa Molinas. There will be reviews on the other two in the next coming days. I will have much more positive things to say about those two, but I'd figure to get the negative one out of the way. There is nothing bad to say about the food at this location. It was the service. The server disappeared on the party, even though there were only two other tables occupied with customers. We noticed the server came out to keep checking on one of the tables ten minutes after we said "just another minute" looking at the menu. After saying out loud that we were ready to leave, the hostess looked at us and I just asked if we could order with her. This is also after the other hostess went to the back to tell the server that we were ready to order. They forget rice on one of the orders and put on cheese on it even though it was made clear that there can't be any cheese. On a second visit to this location, I asked for the refried beans to be cooked in oil instead of lard. The first time it was no problem. The second time around the server said they could not do that. I told the server they did it last time, but he still said they could do it. When it came down to eating the food, it was very good. I'll leave it to my future reviews of the other Casa Molina's to discuss just how delicious it is. This location needs an upgrade on the service. For my Casa Molina visits, I will be skipping this location.

Sunday buffet was awesome. The manudo is authentic and the desert rice pudding was just like home. You must try it too see for yourself.

Went for Buffet on Tuesday (lunch). First time. Food choices consisted of eight or so dishes, for $ 8.99. Appeared appetizing and arranged well. Food was lukewarm, with very little flavor. Tacos were mediocre, with choice of hamburger or chicken (both bland with very few Mexican flavors). Overall quality of food was sub par, i.e., little effort was put into meat or chicken dishes to be representative of good Mexican food. Beans (refried)... were best item amongst array of choices. Service was good. Server was attentive and courteous. Won't be back.

I have been here in the past and thought I would try it again since we were driving by. Their salsa isn't very good and closer to an enchilada style sauce. Their Mexican rice isn't good at all and was mushy and tasted more Uncle Ben's rice. In addition, I had the chile con queso which was literally just a blob of melted cheddar cheese with a few chunks of green chili in it. Further, the chips they served as an appetizer were stale and chewy. The only thing that was fairly good we're the beans, however, I definitely won't be back to this place!

Premixed margarita mix served luke warm. Boiled, unseasoned chicken in the enchilada. Inedible really. Go elsewhere. Anywhere else.

Went there for the Sunday buffet. Love it! Will make it my go to stop before heading back to Phoenix on Sundays. The albondigas and menudo are awesome. The chilaquiles and the savory empanadas are delicious and because it is a quick paced buffet, the food is always fresh. This place is a gem of Tucson, a gem among many great Mexican dining establishments.

I love their salsa. And I love their carne asada tacos. I tried the buffet once for lunch - not good. The service is friendly. Overall pretty typical Mexican place - nothing to really make it stand out.

Epic fail. It started bad and just got worse. Pulled up to the drive thru to order some beans and chips, pretty simple order. Signage indicates you "Order Here" at the menu board. I pulled up and waited a minute (or 3). Upon closer inspection there is a faded, hand written sign, instructing patrons to "Order at the window". I pulled around from the back of the building to the pick up window. There was a car already at the pick up window and a truck "double parked", tailgate down, with a man unloading kitchen supplies onto a two-wheel dolly and wheeling them within inches of the waiting cars rear end. I decided to park and go inside to place my order. We walked in to find customers waiting at the register to pay with a server and bartender having a conversation 20 feet away (with the ability to see when customers enter the establishment). Only when I started to wander back and forth between the register and bar area, did a server come and ask if she could help us. The experience was not warm or friendly. It seemed disorganized and not well planned. They did throw in am extra order of salsa, I assume to make up for the shoddy service/experience. That is the only reason they rate 2 stars instead of 1. It's a shame since it is right down the street and we like the food. I'd rather drive to one of the east side locations where they try a little harder to make the customer a priority. This was my last visit to this location.

Just went in for dinner earlier this evening, expecting the same friendly service and delicious food as the last time my husband and I were there several months back. Unfortunately, happy hour had changed (which happens, I know) but when we asked for a drink menu, were told they "didn't quite have one," (of course they do, I've seen it) and later, when we struggled with what types of liquor they did have, overheard our busser say something akin to, "I didn't give them the drink menu because we don't have anything on it," to our server, a polite and efficient Luz, who went the extra mile to make sure we were satisfied during dinner. However, while she was running around busy, the only other employee, the impolite busser, sat lazily at a table in the back playing on her phone. When we got our food, we found it to be sub-par; my tostada came out AFTER my dinner, instead of in the way of an appetizer, as it should've, and my tacos were clearly made from store-bought, pre-formed, hardened tortillas which fell apart from the greasy ground beef inside of them. My husband ordered chicken fajitas, and received beef laden with fat but was too embarrassed to send it back. Finally, their billing system was down so Luz had to manually calculate our bill, while still, the other employee sat back watching. All of this while two other families had to be served and have their bills calculated as well. Overall, the food quality has diminished and the service, while decent, was still poor, as one person can hardly keep a busy restaurant afloat, even on a plain old Tuesday night. I'd say if you're looking for decent food, and a comfortable, unawkward environment, consider going the extra 4 miles and visit Casa Molina on Campbell.

If you order off the menu, the food may be fine, but I am basing this review only on the Sunday buffet. I will start by saying that the best thing I had in a Mexican buffet were barbecue chicken wings. That should speak for itself but I will expound anyway. I will say that they have a good number of offerings in the buffet: build-your-own tacos, beans, rice, chorizo and eggs, plain eggs, chilaquiles, white sauce enchiladas, calabacitas, tamales, sweet and savory mini chimis and the aforementioned chicken wings, which seemed out of place, but were about the only thing I enjoyed. They also offer different types of soup including the magically medicinal menudo. With all this variety, you would think I would have found something besides the chicken wings that stood out. Nothing really grabbed me by the taste buds and shook me. I have to believe that the flavor of the items in the buffet is indicative of the regular menu items. We used to go to this place on Sundays a lot but the death knell for this place came when the check arrived. We both remembered something along the lines of $7.95 per person - now a steep $11. That's way too high for substandard Mexican food in this town.

Came for lunch buffett. Food was just what we were looking for...not too complicated just good ol mexican food. The mini bean burrito things were yummy and the mini Apple Chimps were delicious! Would have given 4 stars but food needed to be warmer and not a fan of R C drinks! Price was good too.

I've dropped by a few times now and I'm sad to say that this isn't quite as good as the Speedway location I'm accustomed to. That's not to say it doesn't have anything going for it of course. The restaurant itself is very nice and the staff seems friendly enough. As for the food itself, the ground beef chimichanga I tried was pretty good, though the meat was kind of soupy. I tried another chimi with carne asada and it was only as good as what I'd had at Los Betos of all places and it was more expensive to boot. The taco salad made me wish I was at Casa del Rio. I feel kinda bad, 'cause none of my meals were at all unpleasant; they just seem a step behind the competition. I definitely like having a location that's so close to my work and I know I'll be back. If nothing else, this seems to be a much better option for the area than Las Margaritas. I'd definitely say it's worth going out of your way for the Speedway location though.

Went here for breakfast on a whim here today (I have visited another location on a previous occasion). The food here is okay. We had the Sunday buffet. The flavors here are big (no subtlety or delicacy here) with lots of cheese and grease involved. The have some good tasting breakfast items such as potato- and egg-based dishes. Their flour tortillas were undercooked, which if done right, could have added a lot to the mentioned b-fast plates. Their mashed beans were so pale they did not look appetizing at all. They have some random items like chicken wings, which were surprisingly pretty good. The buffet has guacamole and it is delicious. The salsa they put on the table is pretty damn good too. Their decor is cute; rustic and colorful. An okay place.

I'm surprised others have had less than stellar experiences here. It's just around the corner from my house and I eat here (and at the Speedway location, if I'm in that part of town) all the time. I think the spicy salsa is tops! Some of my favorite chili rellenos in town. Tamales are also good, same for tostadas, enchiladas. quesedillas, guacamole. I've tried their huevos rancheros for breakfast. They're different than other places, green chilis instead of frijoles, but very tasty if you like a lot of chilis! Chips are fresh and warm. I've never had a bad meal here. I don't eat meat, but my boyfriend does and also has never had anything to complain about. The sopapillas are practically addictive. It's true that, when we first started going, the waitress didn't seem to speak English, but we never got our orders mixed up. Never felt as if I was being hurried by the waitstaff, either, and I've often sat chatting long after the meal was over.

Poca Cosa is, of course, on another level, but barring high end gourmet, this Grant&Columbus branch of Casa Molina is my favorite Mexican place in Tucson! Only El Charro competes for old world Mexican charm & ambiance, with only the bathroom holding it back from top grades for atmosphere. I usually get their chicken chimichanga, by FAR the best in town, with flavorful stewed, shredded chicken, a very generous portion and perfectly crispy without being at all greasy. Their rellenos are very good and everyone I bring loves how it feels as though you've escaped the hustle and bustle to a sweet retreat in Mexico. So addicted am I that I detour to their drive thru whenever I am nearby. Service is good and it feels like an extension of my living room, as you can truly have privacy. I wouldn't order cocktails here and not sure about the brunch, but lunch or dinner, get the chimi and you will become a regular.

I took my friend who is visiting from Portland, OR and we are huge foodies! Anyways, her nachos were not so great. I had steak fajitas and my steak was mealy. I didn't know the steak could get mealy. Unfortunately the salsa wasn't great either...still on the search for the best Mexican food!

We won't eat here anymore. The food has gone downhill and the service has not been that good for a long time. The last time we went in there, the bathroom was so filthy that my wife (who is pretty timid about these things) went and complained to the staff.
(1)Robert M.
Decent chips and salsa. Loved the mole de galina and the flan. Very good food and ok service from a new waiter.

Their salsa will beat most others out of the water! The burritos were lacking a bit, mostly only has the protein and cheese. The lettuce and tomato it says it comes with, comes on the side. I prefer a healthier burrito with added raw veggies like lettuce, tomato, pico de gallo, or guacamole.They weren't too cheese happy as some of these other places are, which was a relief! But the cheese served is American style cheddar. Where's the Mexican queso? The mole sauce was tasty but nothing spectacular outside of Dona Maria. I would return for the ambiance, servers where mediocre at best. I felt the food was over-priced and serving sizes were larger than necessary. I'd rather have a smaller portion with more ingredients for a smaller fee.
(3)Miss Amy M.
They have my FAVORITE refried beans and salsa in town. Their salsa is not for the faint of heart; it's the real deal with a good kick. Molina's refried beans are made the old fashioned way, so if you're looking for fabulous refried beans the healthy style, these are not the ones for you. Also their chimis are yummy- I love to get the cheese baked inside instead of on the top. Talking about it all is making my mouth water!
(4)Jodi J.
Pretty good mexican food, and the margatitas are great, however this is really a chain restaurant and feels that way.
(3)Charlene A.
My friend and I went to Casa Molina on Campbell Avenue for lunch. We both had the lunch buffet and it was terrible. I remember the food at Casa Molina being good a few years ago but the buffet food made me think all the food was leftover from the day before. There was a large hot container for enchiladas but even after being replenished there were only 4-5 enchiladas spaced out in the container! This made the enchiladas VERY DRY. The dessert mini chimis were rubbery --- how can mini chimis be rubbery!!!! I will not eat at this restaurant ever again. There are too many good-to-great mexican food restaurants in Tucson to ever go here again.
