Tucson doesn’t lack for quality Mexican restaurants, but those on the NW side often find fewer options than other areas of town. One of the more affordable and tasty options is to visit Mosaic Cafe Dos (the original restaurant is located just north of Speedway and west of Silverbell behind the McDonalds) for lunch or dinner. Mosaic Cafe Dos operates out of a small strip mall due east of the Foothills Mall on the opposite side of La Cholla. The restaurant offers a full range of traditional Mexican offerings and has a limited bar menu for drink accompaniments. The small quarters of the restaurant make for a homey atmosphere and the staff always seems quite efficient, if not overly engaging. Often the tortillas and chips are visible being made while you eat, a sure sign of freshness and the quality shouldn’t disappoint. The accompanying rice is also especially light and delicious, especially when partnered with the cheese covered beans. Mosaic Cafe Dos won’t wow you with flair, but does provide a relatively authentic Mexican food meal for reasonable prices.
