Eclectic Cafe

Cuisine: American, Southwestern

10Best Says

The slogan at the Eclectic Cafe in east Tucson is "Where quiche meets enchilada." The menu pulls from a variety of cuisines and styles with winning results. The common thread running through the menu is a focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients and Southwestern flair. For starters, try the house made guacamole and chips. The "casuela style" Mexican tortilla soup is also excellent. For an entree, choose from sandwiches, Mexican specialties and salads. Try the quiche lorraine, or any of the chopped salads. For a fresh southwestern kick, try Leo's Special Chicken burro, made with marinated and diced chicken with green chili and refried beans, topped with cheese and sour cream.
