Casa Madre

I loved the inside of this intimate new restaurant. I read the reviews ahead of time and was prepared for the how warm it would be inside (wore shorts), but I really hope they do something about the AC.They have a small menu (3 main entree options) which is fine but were out of the dish I came for (Tilapia) and one of their 4 cocktails (Nanas). They also brought out the main entree right after the appetizers instead of spacing the timing.We both really liked the Dirty Turnip-Tini. The Madre Margarita was interesting. The stone fruit caprese was really good as was the special appetizer of the night which was a shrimp beignet salad. We shared the ribeye and the steak was decent, just not very flavorful. I loved the roasted poblano chile scalloped potatoes it came with though. Our server was very friendly.

Great food, wonderful staff in a friendly and intimate setting. This family owned and run is a must on your Tucson dining list. Reservations highly recommended.

This little restaurant (8 tables for two) is in the new building in the five points. My friends and I enjoyed dinner tonight this first week Casa Madre opened. I had a delicious stone fruit burrata salad with cherry and plum and burrata cheese. So perfect for a summer starter or meal. We also tried the bacon wrapped dates, which are a sweet and savory starter, prepared perfectly. There were three non- alcoholic drinks, three alcoholic cocktails, and a selection of wines. I got the Agua Fresca of the day and added vodka, which was guava lime special. I ordered the chile relleno of Cuban black bean puree & Arroz Con Crema. Fabulous dish. The menu will be changing and rotating so please check their website because chef mentioned the pending dishes coming in a week or two. There isn't yet a marquee outside so finding the entrance might be tricky at this point, so I posted my buddy pointing to the entrance off 18th. The restaurant was warm inside , since this is a brick building in summer in Tucson. Dress for the weather as if on a patio. This fall there expects to be additional patio seating. Reservations are recommended but walk ins are welcome.I'm looking forward to returning in the days ahead. Everyone at the table had a wonderful meal tonight. Thank you chefs!

A small and intimate restaurant at 5 points. At first we could not find the entrance because there is no signage. Once inside the service was great. We ordered appetizers of the stone fruit Burrata and the pork belly buffalo style. Everything was fresh. The pork belly melted in our mouths. For my entree I had the tilapia. I loved the limequats on top of the fish, eaten together the flavors burst in your mouth. The potatoes were plenty and delicious. For dessert we had the lemon ice box cake and the homemade salted carmel ice cream. The ice box cake had a wonderful lemon curd and the meringue was a nice touch. It was warm in the restaurant, it felt like evaporative cooling, overall everything was great.

Amazing. Delicious. Gorgeous. This place is spectacular. It's small so be sure to book in advance. Their seasonal caprese was so good. The chili relleno was to die for. The margarita delicious. Everyone polished off their food. So fresh. So good. Wait staff were awesome. Definitely worth the price!

This might be my new favorite spot! The restaurant is small and intimate, the staff is absolutely amazing and the food is beyond my expectation. We got the chefs board, tilapia, chili, stuffed with cheese, the steak and then shared the Sunday for dessert. Everything was perfect and we were all thrilled with our meal. Can't wait to come back.

One of the best dinning experiences in a long while. The Ribeye was the reason we went and the reason we will go back. great service and a chill vibe.

We loved everything about this restaurant. The food was exceptional. Our group ordered the seasonal soup, chile relleno, rib eye, pork belly and shrimp. Each dish was beautifully prepared and delicious. The service was top notch. Our waitress was lovely and did not miss a beat on all of our requests. The ambiance was a mix of new and old --- it was romantic & cozy (brick walls, white table cloths and beautiful european dishware & glassware) and modern with a rock salt wall. This is a special place and I cheer for it's success. The team is doing everything right!!

We had a reservation for four and had the absolute best dinner at Casa Madre. The restaurant has very limited inside seating so highly recommend a reservation if you want to sit inside but the service was excellent, the drinks were delicious (I will say their margarita has a tart cherry base which significantly deviates from a traditional margarita. Not a bad thing but important if you prefer a more traditional margarita with a cherry flavor!) the horchata was absolutely delicious - not too sweet and easy to sip through out the meal. Every food item we got was incredible. The soup of the night was a cream of mushroom that was earthy and delicious, the bacon wrapped dates were the best I've ever had, The Gambas al Ajillo was a very generous portion of shrimp for a tapas and we split two mains between the four people and couldn't finish either the servings were so large. Notably the ribeye does NOT have a bone so be prepared for a VERY large serving of perfectly cooked steak. Would highly recommend this as a date night spot or special dinner with a small party.

What a wonderful gem of a restaurant! Cute, intimate, and very yummy. Great service. You're going to love dining here. I'd definitely recommend you try Casa Madre. Make sure you make a reservation, there aren't many tables. Hubby and I shared a shrimp cake appetizer, which came on top of an arugula salad- very nice. I had the tilapia, and he had a special chicken dish. They were both delicious. Make sure you save room for dessert.
