Very happy with our first lunch at Wisdom’s. My shredded turkey chimichanga and my husband’s shredded turkey burrito were superb. Tasty, fresh ingredients served with generous amounts of salsa verde, cheese, lettuce, and sour cream. Great service with quick drink refills. Quiet atmosphere even though there was a steady stream of people in and out, which made for easy conversation. Lighting was subdued but we were able to still easily read the menus. I wish we didn’t live an hour and a half away so we could dine at Wisdom’s more often!

What a fun place! Our first time and Valerie was our server. She was friendly, knowledgeable and quick. The food was delicious Bacon wrapped shrimp, shrimp tacos, chicken tortilla soup, pozole soup, yum! Definitely order the burro for dessert, it was like a fresh turnover, but even better.

This place is a favorite among our friends. We make reservations, table for 10 - no problem. The friendly staff is unfazed by table for 10. Some of us get the same thing every time we eat there, others trip through the expansive menu and try something new. It’s turkey! And it’s good. Portions and atmosphere plenty of parking.

Wisdom’s cafe is a gem. It took us two attempts to get in as the place seems always busy. I didn’t even know it existed until passing by a couple of times and noticed all the cars. Historic, a bit rustic and decorated as you would expect with so much history. Has to be the most popular restaurant for many miles. Our food was great and service to match. There’s a reason that Wisdom’s is always packed. Get there early!

Stopped by for lunch after a day in Tubac, it's just a few miles down the road and so worth the extra stop. It's like walking into the old west. The mostlu mexican inspired menu has something for everyone. The service was prompt, the table comfortable and the food delicious. We both had the Mahi Mahi tacos. Will be back!

Wisdom’s has been a great place for Mexican food and this visit didn’t disappoint. The star of our lunch was the Cliff burrito smothered in verde sauce. Also the pico de gallo with chips starter. The fish in the mahi mahi tacos was hammered — way over cooked. The Baja tacos also not recommended in the fried fish form. Chili relleno ok but not exceptional as I expected. Service was sparkling. Dining room excellent as we were seated next to the fire on a chilly day.
