The Eclectic Cafe is a nice little restaurant at the corner of Tanque Verde and Sabino Canyon, although it is a bit expensive. All in all, however, the extra cost is mitigated by the large portions . The decor is quiet, warm, and slightly eclectic with art deco lamps mixed with landscape paintings. I had a corned beef sandwich with swiss with a very, very hot mustard, and a green salad which was an unusual mix of sprouts, spinach, mushrooms for the most part. The mustard and corned beef complemented each other perfectly, and the salad was interesting if odd. My date had an avocado, bean, and green chili burro which came with a large mix of lettuce and tomatoes on the side, and salsa in a funky little glass pouring thing. The presentation actually extended inside the burro as when it was cut we found it to be prettily layered. The menu is a mix of Mexican and American meals, with several specialties such as salads and quiches.
