The Little One,

151 North Stone Avenue, Tucson, AZ 85701

"This place and the family who runs it, have been on the Tucson food scene for many years - many years of excellence! My brother in law asked me where the best mole is in town. My first thought was The Little One. He, being a foodie, said it was the best mole he's ever had. Outdoor seating was comfortable and inviting, food was delicious, and the atmosphere was lively! Will definitely be back!"

"It had been a while since I was last here, but the food is always memorable. This isn't Sonoran style Mexican food but it does span a wider variety of flavors from Mexico. I often order the chef's plate, which is three items selected by the chef. This allows me to try things I might not order as a single dish. Today there was a pork , beef, sweet potato and a wonderful squash soup. Everything was fresh and high quality ingredients. The plates are beautiful and the service makes you feel like home. There's a good reason why this place gets high reviews."

"Amazing!! Super friendly and helpful service, amazing food. I tried the chef’s plate and cleaned my plate. It was all so good. The star of my plate was the chicken mole. I have never liked mole, but this one was sooooo good- the chocolate flavor wasn’t as overwhelming as some places."

"A delightful, small business in the heart of downtown with really tasty, authentic food. I got the chef’s special (as did my friend), and we were both given large plates of many different offerings. Both plates were different as well. It was all so tasty! The homemade lemonade, the pastries, the molé, really remarkable across the board! Unique and limited hours but worth planning when to go. Other reviews mention cash only but they do accept cards if needed (cash preferred, says the sign)"

"We had two Surprise Plates as part of the Sonoran Restaurant Week Special. So good! The Poblano Soup and Mole and Chipotle tacos were my favorites."
