Incredible décor and amazing staff do great justice to the beautiful food served. Despite not drinking when I went the bar has some of the best tequila and mezcal you can serve.
Luxe decor and professional staff. Mexican rose was best I’d ever had. My ribeye was disappointing. It was served as a steak salad, smothered under greens and chopped up for me like I was a baby. I like to cut my own steak. I didn’t get that at all and wouldn’t order it that way again. But enjoyed the presentation of other dishes. Come here to celebrate.
Wow what an amazing atmosphere, the varied ceiling hanging artwork is so unique, vibrant, beautiful, and well balanced, makes for a lovely dinning experience!!!
Friendly staff, Yummy food and drink!!
We enjoyed it so much that while in Tucson for 2 weeks, we dinned here 2 nights in a row and can’t for our return!:)
I love the ambience! Warm, enchanting atmosphere, friendly service, great food, a great selection of tequila, wine, and beer. I highly recommend trying Elvira's for a surprisingly different taste. You don't be disappointed!
Phenomenal restaurant filled with phenomenal staff. One of the best options for a nice date in the Tucson area. A modern presentation of some favorites from Mexican cuisine (apparently a product of a very recent menu renovation) . The Lengua was superb as were the mussels we had to start. The cocktail menu is fascinating and the wine menu is pretty hard to beat.
The chicken mole that I had was probably the best that I have ever had. It was just fabulous! My friend had the fish and said it was the best she had in a very long time. The ornamental glass hanging from the ceiling are just beautiful. Wonderful restaurant!
This restaurant was more than charming... very classy and unique- the live Spanish music was perfect for a romantic exotic dinner- but yet the wine tequila venue was quite the selection ... and perfect for a small cocktail for the start of a clubbing night. The authentic southern Mexican cuisine was absolutely exquisite.. Definitely returning and recommending ..

Elvira's has exceptional service and dining! Highly recommend! It gives a new flavor to downtown Tucson!
You’re food the reason I wear sweat pants. Best food and best service downtown!
The salmon fish special was cooked perfectly, so delicious. And the rice had great flavor (peppers mixed in). I'm glad we went.
Excellent service....delicious food and awesome music....i had mole negro..the best !!
I would definitely return to this interesting restaurant the next time we go to the theatre ....great decor , staff & food
Great service and a great take on Mexican cuisine. Homemade flavors unlike any other. Perfectly mixed drinks and perfectly cooked rib eye. Service was amazing along with one of a kind decor. Romantic but still can come to have fun. High end resteraunt with prices to match but worth every penny!
Very nice place, good food $$$ prices. Margaritas were made from scratch and very good. The inside is decorated with hanging blown glass and antique hanging lights. We made special trip there while in town to see Owner (Ruben) after calling ahead, making reservation for 8 and letting Mgr know we wanted to see Ruben. My Husband knew Ruben Sr very very well many years ago and Ruben Jr as boy. To our disappointment he didn’t show. Otherwise nice place. PS. Ruben if you see this, Dan wrote you long note and left with young man at host table when we left.
Beautiful atmosphere and delicious menu. A massive selection of high quality tequilas. I enjoyed a modest meal but was given outstanding service nonetheless. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Amazing upscale Mexican. Very creative flavor profiles. I went for a good Mole, and boy did it hit the spot. Spices and sweetness all coming together perfectly. My wife got the Diablo Fillet, swears it’s the best steak at any restaurant ever ! This saying a lot since we have eaten at a number of high end steak houses. The decor is beautiful !

Elvira's is really a great experience. The atmosphere and decor are stunning. The service is great, at least on this rather slow Thursday night.
It's not five star because I have a couple of fairly minor issues. I got the "king of moles" selection which was very good but it wasn't outstanding. The star of the dish of course is the mole, but they overcooked the chicken. It only took about 5 to 8 minutes to come out of the kitchen after I ordered it, which means that the chicken was sitting in a pot of hot water and the mole sauce was already on the burner.
It kind of has to be that way for the sauce because it takes so long to make. But I would have been more careful with the chicken. It came out tasteless, tough and stringy. They could have parboiled those about halfway through, throwing them on the grill or in a skillet for a couple of minutes and it would have been much better.
The chicken moly came with plantains and rice and beans all of which were interesting but really not remarkable.
So it was a good meal but I guess the main complaint is the way they handled cooking the chicken.
These restaurants go to so much trouble and there's so much riding on the line to get things perfect ... I don't understand why they would do something like boil the chicken to death after spending all that time on a good mole a sauce. Yes I know most recipes call for boiling the bird, but I think there's a point you take it off and not let it just sit there which I think is what happened. Mine was actually too hard to cut I had to just feel it apart.
The atmosphere here is awesome. Love the way they decorated the place. The music is at the perfect volume so you can hear it but not have to yell so others can hear you (although I hear weekend nights is different, by design). The food is very good. Get the Queso Fundido as an appetizer... wow! The Tuna Tartar was great as well. For the main course I had the Tounge in Mole Poblano and it was so good. The meet was tender, perfectly seasoned and just great! The others I was with had the Filet San Mateo and Shrimp Chipotle and didn’t have any complaints either. I’ll go again when I’m in Tucson.
Our server was friendly and checked on us regularly. The food was very good but I wish the portions were a little larger. The atmosphere and ambience of the restaurant was very nice I would definitely go there again.
Excellent service, excellent food and drinks! Server was great at explaining all dishes for our party of 23!
Popped in on a whim. Loved the decor, food was awesome, and wait staff great. If your in the neighborhood give it a try. Especially you Mole fans!
This is my favorite restaurant in Tucson. I have tried many of the dishes here but my go-to is the chipotle shrimp. The margaritas are hand crafted by knowledgeable bartenders and their Malbec is delicious. And always start wit the queso fundido!
