"When you dine with us, expect attentive efficient service. Be assured that every dish is infused with passion...using the freshest ingredients, hand-selected every morning. And all of this within the streamlined inviting atmosphere that is Cafe Poca Cosa, Tucson's number one choice for authentic Mexican fine dining."Just perfect for the Saddlebrook Ladies Adventure Club(SLAC).
Yesterday morning eight determined ladies boarded their mini-vans and headed south to 110 East Pennington Street for another adventure. Most of the members had never been to Poca Cosa, but it had been scouted by the Kelly Girls, Brenda and Sue, so expectations were high.
Poca Cosa did not disappoint. The menu changes constantly, the only public record is a chalkboard (above) which is amended at will. Kathleen ordered the first item on the day's menu, Pechuga Tlalpena, and pronounced it beautiful and delicious. It was a bold combination of avacado, pineapple, yellow pepper, beets, carrots, chicken, and greens. Dressing, beans and rice were on the table, of course. Everything on the chalkboard was either $13 or $14. If you want to try your Spanish, click on the chalkboard above and have at it.We don't know what the bright red item, right, featured on a previous post was called, but at least three of the ladies selected it. An absolutely gorgeous presentation, they agreed.
Ladies in the group photo, below, are Nancy, Sue, Mary, Brenda, Cynthia, Judy, Kathy and Katie.
Mary is the daughter of Brenda and Dick Robertson; Sue Krueger is her aunt. Mary is a veterinarian and will be purchasing a home soon in southern Minnesota. The hardest part of that?
Leaving her beloved St. Paul. Upon hearing this, Kathleen bonded immediately with this young lady. It is Katie's dream to someday live in St. Paul again.(Photo: Sue Kreuger, Mary and her mother, Brenda Robertson)
Cafe Poca Casa has a full bar and boasts exceptional margaritas.
The ladies finished lunch in two and a half hours, including dessert, which is about as long as it takes their spouses to golf nine holes and grab a sandwich at the turn.
