I had higher hopes for this place, as I love honest local neighborhood diners. The atmosphere was just as hoped for, but the food was a bit lacking. My tamales were very dry and a bit overcooked. My friends' meals were, like mine, palatable, but nothing special. The place was clean and service was good.

When I think of New Mexican style breakfast, to me the gold standard is The Pantry in Santa Fe, NM. Since I don't live there I was excited to see that Poco & Mom's featured New Mexican style food and I had a trip with a stop in Tucson. Unfortunately, if The Pantry is the gold standard, Poco & Mom's... More

Regulars get a hug before they leave. Newcomers get a warm smile. Add in great food and unbeatable prices - what's not to love about this place.

It's regrettable that TripAdvisor can't have categories for all of the sub-types of food in the world. For instance, if you're from the US and travel around, you know that there are many different types of "American" food from different regions. For instance, Louisiana has a lot of Cajun-style food.

Just got back from another stop at Poco & Mom's. A year later, still fantastic inexpensive food. Had the Silver City Breakfast, grilled hash browns topped with melted cheese, delicious green chile sauce, eggs over easy, and machaca. Unbelievably good! Frankly, they could pour the spicy green chile sauce over rusty nails and they'd taste good. You really can't go... More

Guy Fieri has to be here somewhere. The food is wonderful, staff very colorful and friendly. Real blue collar clientele, with lots of local color mixed in for good measure, just a really fun place with wonderful food. Will go back every opportunity, love the people!

I cannot claim to be as knowledgeable as the other reviewers as I was visiting from England, but we had the best meal here of all the places tried during our stay in Tucson in January. Wonderful family style atmosphere, formica table tops maybe seen better days, but who cares when such wonderful food, relaxing and not rushed at all... More

At noon on a Saturday, it's standing room only! The food is great and the servers friendly, funny and attentive. The green chile pork stew is the best I've ever had.
