About The Little One

The Little One, located conveniently downtown near Old Town Artisan Square, offers excellent food and large portions. The super friendly and attentive staff make customers feel welcome. Known for their incredible mole, the restaurant has been a staple in Tucson for years. Outdoor seating is comfortable, and the atmosphere is lively. Customers praise the cochinito en chipotle, tender pork in an unbelievable sauce. The restaurant also serves dishes like Caldo de Pollo and Chili Rellenos, which are fresh, tasty, and served hot. The surprise plate, featuring chicken mole and beef barbacoa with rice, beans, and vegetable soup, is rich and satisfying. The mole is considered the best ever, and the rellenos are crispy and excellent. The owners truly care about their customers' satisfaction and are willing to go above and beyond to ensure everyone enjoys their meal.

The only bad thing was that I ate...read full review

Holy Yum! Stumbled across this place with my family and the food did not disappoint. The quesadilla meal was delicious and cheap! We also got the pleasure of trying the peach mango juice, the tutti fruitti lemonade and there was another lemonade with jalapeño in it. AND a slice of homemade red velvet. We will be back. Thank you !
