Edna's Eatery

I miss when Gallery of Food was at the gardens. The food was fresh, inventive, more refined, and felt like the perfect fit for dining in the garden. The newest takeover is lackluster in comparison to Gallery of Food. The burrito was generous in size but tasted like it had been in a warmer all morning long. It was so hot it never really cooled down while I was eating it. The flour tortilla was not very good, it tasted like Alejandro's tortillas to me. My husband ordered the green chile potato hash. He was said it was a-ok. We were looking forward to trying this eatery out. You don't know until you try but we wont be rushing back to dine here again.

Tasty brunch and lunch options, fast service and lovely space. We had the green chile brisket sandwich, BBQ Sonoran dog, and coconut horchata by itself and in cold brew. All was tasty, and brisket portion was generous!

I had a great impromptu breakfast at the new Edna's Eatery by Charley's Grill! Fresh, delicious avocado toast with plenty of greens and tomatoes! Paired with a Jamaica agua fresca, it was a great way to start the day in the always gorgeous Tucson Botanical Gardens. It was nice to meet Carlos, and I can't wait to see what's ahead! And my server Czarina was the best!! Thank you!

Now open (may 2024)Ambiance: great, you're under the canopy of a tree.Food: brisket was dry, the green chile was thin... , the only vegetarian offerings were with cheese. Most of all, I question the management, because staff seemed not happy: bad management makes for unhappy workers. Too bad, this should be a great place.

Such a cute place. Inside the botanical gardens. Just a small little gem in a cute little house with a few seats inside and a great outdoor patio area to enjoy some food in the beautiful gardens. We had just a snack and chips and salsa and some great fresh made iced tea. The service was great. They serve lunch and brunch as well. The food looked great and can't wait to come back and try more choices for lunch.

We loved this cute little cafe located in the Tucson Botanical Garden. They had the perfect menu for a small bite & refreshing drinks. The fruit salad & caprese salad were just what we needed & the agua fresca really hit the spot. They keep fruit infused water on the patio for refreshment as well. It's very small & only appeared to be one person up front, one in back, but didn't have to wait long at all. We hit it at a good time. It was a nice break midway through our exploring.

Such a fabulous little Tucson gem located in the beautiful Tucson Botanical gardens! My mother and I spent the afternoon walking the gardens and really appreciated having the chance to sit down in their gorgeous patio and have some small bites! Their prickly pear iced tea was really refreshing, plus, their menu has numerous choices, from vegetarian to burgers. They use fresh ingredients and my ceviche was just what I wanted, full of shrimp. Plus, the homemade chips were delicious. The portion was a big small but, it was an appetizer (fit for one person) so next time, I'm hoping to order a full lunch. My mom ordered the danish and it came wrapped in plastic, it was tasty however. Next time we both agree to order larger meals. I do believe you need to pay admission to gardens in order to enjoy the eatery but, it's well worth an afternoon in the gardens!

Mocha review - $8 regret one sip and went to trash cani don't like to throw away food but it was just that badtasted like hot chocolate mix with old coffee

Arrived early at the garden so I went for a bite to eat. I missed it on my first round but found it on my way back, It really was to hard to find, I just missed a turn. If you don't already know, this spot is located inside the Botanical Gardens. Not a big selection but holy cow the Huevos Rancheros is killer. Very flavorful, served hot and the price was good. Good thing I had an hour to kill, it took me almost that long to eat all of it. Portion size was perfect. Plenty of places to sit inside and out. Only one server and she was wonderful. Will try them again on my next trip to the garden.

Where to eat in a Monday when many places are closed or they are serving yesterday's leftovers? THIS is the place! Under and next to gorgeous shading trees and other cooling plants, my friend and I enjoyed great service, reasonable prices and generous portions (enough to take some home). All our choices were beyond delicious. I have to confess I made a swooning sound with that first bite. Go, go enjoy yourself. And take a friend or two or three. (You can eat inside in air conditioned comfort if you like.)
