Tucson, AZ 85716

The seafood restaurant has had good buzz for years, and with good reason: It consistently delivers with exquisite, no-nonsense food. And if you don't trust your own palate, trust those of the many locals chefs who choose to eat here in their off-time.

Cafe Poca Cosa

Housed in the Historic Train Depot, the restaurant side of Maynards is romantic (a calming burnt-orange glow pervades the cozy dining area, or you can watch the trains go by from the extensive patio) and inspired by seasonal offerings.
