If there is one thing we know, it's where to eat in Tucson! We LOVE supporting local Tucson restaurants. Tucson is the FIRST city in the U.S. to be named a UNESCO City of Gastronomy. We have the "Best 23 miles of Mexican Food" ranging from tamales, tacos, menudo, enchiladas, and so much more! And if you've never tried our famous Sonoran Hot Dogs, you are missing out! With multiple James Beard Award Winners in Tucson, it's safe to say, our restaurants, bakeries, and food trucks are some of the best in the country.
