The Delta - San Xavier

Honestly..we ate here when they first opened and it was excellent! We took visitors last week and we were all disappointed! EVERYTHING was way too hot..as in spicy heat! Even the hush puppies were covered in hot tartar sauce instead of being served on the side as before, and it wasn't so spicy last time. Very disappointing this time. Our waitress, however, was really awesome! I've forgotten her name but she was the best part of our visit!

We went there Friday night for Sonoran Restaurant Week. Had a really good dinner. The elote hush puppies were a great starter. Moist and flavorful. The gumbo was really good. Rich and thick sauce with smoked lamb, where I could taste the smoke, and good spicy sausage. Well spiced with a bit of heat. The lime rice in it was a great contrast. The dessert was big, tasty, but not overly sweet. Looking at some of the other food going out. It will be worth going again. It is a bit noisy inside, but so many of our good restaurants in Tucson are like that. The only small negative was that our table wasn't ready at our reservation time. I only bring that up because of the restaurant's reservation policy. Make sure you understand the possible penalties if you're late or cancel last minute.

Pluses were that they did offer gluten free options. Minuses, they were of the more already expensive cuisines. I had the jambalaya, but it was not very flavorful. This was a surprise. Also, not very filling. The drink I had was wonderful though. Not too sweet, seemed just right! And it was pretty! I don't recall which one it was, but it had hibiscus in it, an orange ice and it was pinkish. It was non-alcoholic.

Beyond excellent service both times I’ve been to The Delta. I’ve had just about all their appetizers and they’re all so delicious. You can’t go wrong going here for happy hour. This is one of my favorite spots in town.

First time here, and it was great. Service was amazing. The atmosphere was chill and beautiful. Everyone is polite and helpful. The food was delicious, had the Drunken Angel pasta, delicious, I've never had anything like it. Also had the kool-aid pickles, also great. Overall amazing experience. Will return to try some stuff I didn't get to this time like drinks and dessert.
