Teresa's Mosaic Cafe
Opened in 1984, the Matias family has been cooking up great Mexican food at Teresa's Mosaic Cafe. A place on the hill that has been around for as long as we have had the B&B. (We bought the B&B in 1984 too.) Located a mile or so west of I-10, this casual Mexican restaurant, with colorful mosaic tile tables, mirror frames, and an exposed tortilla making counter, is on the corner of Grant and Silverbell and well worth finding for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Margarita’s, fresh lemonade and the best selection of Mexican fare and salsa, it’s the best place we’ve found to go for Mexican food this side of the boarder.
making tortillas to order...
We originally found out about this great place when our friend Lena was looking for a caterer for her daughter’s engagement Fiesta a few years ago. Since then, it has become a great spot for a meal if you're on your way home from the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, Old Tucson Studios, or Saguaro National Park's west. A place we always take visitors and a great place to enjoy home style Mexican food in a family friendly atmosphere, 
Ada's slightly eaten enchilada....
The name of the restaurant is Teresa’s Mosaic Café and the decor is all about the crafted mosaic tiled tables and counters. Remodeled in 2001, each table is unique and was handmade. They rolled out the clay, cut it into shapes. (chilies, butterflies, flowers, saguaros’). Then they embossed, glazed and fired them. Also, the Chef’s table has all the family’s personal items inlaid. It was a way of incorporating jewelry, keys, antiques and other items that were special to the Matias family; truly making the restaurant feel like home for them. And certainly, anyone that owns a restaurant knows, you do tend to live there. (we can relate to that.)
