The first thing you must know about Tucson food is that we do Mexican cuisine right. Take your pick from the many Mexican Tucson restaurants beloved by critics, locals, and visitors alike. El Charro Café claims the right to the first ever chimichanga, developed in the 1920s. Café Poca Cosa “is to taste what Disney’s Fantasia is to sight and sound,” wrote a food writer for Tucson Weekly, adding that menu is “unique, entertaining, and highly innovative” nouvelle Mexican. The Tucson Tamale Company on Broadway looks unassuming from the curb, but it’s been featured in Travel & Leisure, on NPR, and in Food Channel features. El Guero Canelo Restaurante Mexicano will blow your mind with its famous Sonoran hot dog wrapped in bacon and topped with tomatoes, pinto beans, onions, yellow mustard, jalapeno sauce, and mayo in a bolillo roll. Elvira’s serves up five different chicken moles, as well as Mexican steaks, enchiladas, chiles rellenos, and flan that is simply to-die-for, which is complemented by live musical performances on the weekend. Last, but not least, you won’t want to miss Mi Nidito, host to countless celebrities and presidents. Other respected Tucson foodie hotspots include:
