    The grilled chicken and shrimp entrees were delicious. The waitstaff were so charming and welcoming. It was a lovely evening.

    Great food; very slow service on a Sunday night. Took 10min to get seated after checking in despite our table being available.

    Superb! From check in to getting outta there its freaking amazing! We had the grilled octopus and it was delicious, well balanced, and tasty with the oil and chopped veggies! I was sad it was over so quick. Then we had the fried snapper with accoutrements that were absolutely tasty. The slaw was crisp, fresh and just the right amount of citrus with tangy vinegar. We said, keep those tortillas coming. You have done it over and over again T & P, I’m in love.

    The entire operation of the restaurant simply knows exactly what to do to at every turn. Professional and graceful without pretense. And the most flavorful food and pairings you'll find.

    Tito and Pep is one of the very places to enjoy a great dinner in Tucson! With our cocktails we enjoyed the excellent calamari appetizer! For our entree choice all 3 of us ordered the seabass which was wonderful! The chocolate ganache dessert was terrific too! This is a friendly, casual, comfortable place for a really nice dinner!

    Excellent service and good. The Sea Bass was cooked to perfection. My wife had the New York steak which, although a little chewy, was also cooked to perfection. Drinks are reasonably priced and the waitress was very informative and took care of all our needs. Recommend the Mango Panna Cora for dessert.

    To say EXCEPTIONAL food and service would be an understatement. From appetizers to entree to DESSERTS, this was a world class dining experience. Staff was super kind and attentive. Wine selection superb!! Major caveat: Noise level. Ooof, they would be well served to take further steps to mitigate. Lowering ceiling sound absorbers, carpet panels under seats and curtains would certainly help. But that aside, ahhhmazing food, people, place and space.

    Exceptionally disappointing experience. Arrived at 8pm for our reservation and was told table wouldn't be ready for at least 15 minutes. We chose to eat at the bar. Bartender was nice but not knowledgeable about wine. Skimpy mixed drinks. Service poor -- salad plate left in front of us for more than 30 min. Took 75 minutes to receive our food and it was STONE COLD. At that point we chose to leave. Charged us for drinks and offered to wrap our food to go (? -- it had already been cleared). No manager onsite to talk to us about experience. Email to contact person on website still unanswered. Noise level high, many people sitting at tables with no food. One of the worst fine dining experiences I have had in a long time.

    The food and service were outstanding. The yellowtail crudo and the duck specials were excellent. The salmon and sea bass were delicious as well.
