If you like flour tortillas—and like watching them being made by the hundreds—you’ll be gleefully entranced at Teresa’s. While you’re chowing down on scrumptious Mexican breakfasts (eggs, chorizo, tamales, enchiladas, etc.), you can watch tortillas being hand-formed, grilled, and collected in a huge basket for distribution throughout the restaurant. Charming décor, spectacular sights and smells, and warm service place Teresa’s at the top of our morning must-eat list while in Tucson.

"Teresa's version of Huevos Rancheros takes the top prize in our book!"
Chris Ayers & Amy Briesch

"The best of all worlds--scrambled eggs, a cheese enchilada, a green corn tamale, and creamy refried beans."
Chris Ayers & Amy Briesch

"Green corn tamales are moist and earthy, striped with chile peppers."
Michael Stern

"Fresh from the griddle, these homemade flour tortillas are among the best we've had!"
Chris Ayers & Amy Briesch

"We fell into a trance watching hundreds of tortillas being made right before our eyes! "
Chris Ayers & Amy Briesch

"At Teresa's, homemade lemonade and horchata are served from large glass barrels."
Chris Ayers & Amy Briesch

"Homemade corn tortillas are the perfect way to sop up any remaining sauces."
Chris Ayers & Amy Briesch

"Although artfully done, it is easy to miss this small sign for Teresa's Mosaic Cafe!"
Chris Ayers & Amy Briesch

"Hidden behind a McDonald's, Teresa's unassuming storefront cannot prepare you for the spectacular food within!"
Chris Ayers & Amy Briesch

"Teresa's dense guacamole is fine to scoop up with regular tortilla chips, even better when gathered with Sonoran cheese crisps."
Michael Stern

"The mosaic theme is everwhere at Teresa's, including on this back bar behind which the tortillas are made."
Michael Stern

"Tucson claims to be the place where chimichangas were invented. Whether or not that is true, the city sure has some good ones, including these crisp mini-chimi appetizers, which you can get filled with shredded beef or chicken."
Michael Stern

"An Oaxacan treat, smoked pasilla peppers are kept in a big jar at the back of the dining room. They arrive in their perfumy liquid, and will add a rich rich, leathery flavor to whatever they touch."
Michael Stern

"Despite the GPS taking us to the right address, Teresa's is a bit tricky to access. Even this sign is hard to see unless you are looking for it."
Michael Stern

"It's not my habit to take pictures of urinals, but I couldn't resist reporting on this one in Teresa's men's room. I have never seen one placed so low on the wall."
Michael Stern
