Downtown Tucson | University of Arizona | Central Tucson | Eastside | Catalina Foothills | Northwest Tucson | South Tucson
Tucson boldly proclaims itself to be the “Mexican Food Capital of the United States,” and most of the Mexican food in town is Sonoran-style. This means prolific use of cheese, mild peppers, corn tortillas, pinto beans, and beef or chicken. It’s the birthplace of the chimichanga (Spanish for “whatchamacallit”), a flour tortilla filled with meat or cheese, rolled, and deep-fried.
The best Mexican restaurants are concentrated in South Tucson and Downtown, although some favorites have additional locations around town. If Mexican’s not your thing, there are plenty of other options: you won’t have any trouble finding excellent sushi, Thai, Italian, and Ethiopian food at reasonable prices.
For sampling regional flavors, there are several notable Southwestern restaurants in town. In the Foothills, upscale Southwestern cuisine flourishes at Acacia and the Grill at Hacienda del Sol. A recent trend in Tucson dining is combining hip restaurants with chic shopping locations. Choose from sushi, steak, Italian, or Mexican at La Encantada in the Foothills. Casas Adobes Plaza, in the Northwest, is home to upscale shops alongside Wildflower Grill, Bluefin Seafood Bistro, and trendy, thin-crust pizza at Sauce—and the gelato shop, Frost, is handy for dessert. Downtown has recently exploded with first-rate dining and drinking establishments, from modern comfort food and homemade ice cream to gourmet pizzas, craft beers, and contemporary Mexico City cuisine.
Tasty fare as varied as Indian, Guatemalan, and Middle Eastern can be enjoyed on the west side of U of A’s campus, along University Boulevard and 4th Avenue—another great area for people-watching and barhopping as well as quelling hunger pangs.
On Friday and Saturday nights and during the Gem Show (first two weeks of February), reservations are usually a good idea at upscale and popular restaurants. Dress ranges from casual to casual-dressy here; jackets for men aren’t required at any restaurant, even at resorts.
Downtown Tucson
Fodor’s Choice | Café Poca Cosa.
$$ | MEXICAN | At what is arguably Tucson’s most creative Mexican restaurant, the chef prepares recipes inspired by different regions of her native country. The menu, which changes daily, might include chicken mole or pork pibil (made with a tangy Yucatecan barbecue seasoning). Servings are plentiful, and each table gets a stack of warm corn tortillas and a bowl of beans to share. Order the daily Plato Poca Cosa, and the chef will select one beef, one chicken, and one vegetarian entrée for you to sample. The bold-color walls of the contemporary interior are hung with Latin American art. | Average main: $18 | 110 E. Pennington St., Downtown | 520/622–6400 | www.cafepocacosatucson.com | Closed Sun. and Mon. | Reservations essential.
Cup Café.
$$ | AMERICAN | This charming spot off the lobby of Hotel Congress is at the epicenter of Tucson’s hippest Downtown scene, but it’s also a down-home, friendly place. Try the eggs, potatoes, chorizo, and cheese for breakfast or an ahi tuna salad for lunch. The “Heartbreaker” appetizer—Brie melted over artichoke hearts and apple slices on a baguette—complements such entrées as chicken cordon bleu, house-smoke beef brisket, or potato-wrapped salmon. It’s open late—until 10 pm weeknights and 11 pm on weekends—and becomes crowded in the evening with patrons from Club Congress, the hotel’s nightclub. | Average main: $18 | Hotel Congress, 311 E. Congress St., Downtown | 520/798–1618 | www.hotelcongress.com.
Downtown Kitchen & Cocktails.
$$ | MODERN AMERICAN | Ever-evolving maverick and master chef Janos Wilder returned to the Downtown dining scene a few years ago, delighting city planners striving to energize this district. The menu draws inspiration from warm-weather regions around the world. French technique and Southwestern flavors are fused beautifully in dishes like calamari with mango, roasted peanuts, and green chile vinaigrette, and Cod Veracruzanna (seared cod in onions, tomatoes, jalapeños, capers, and clam juice). The interior, decorated in soft blues and greens and exposed-brick walls, encourages relaxation and quiet conversation. Janos’s emphasis on locally grown, organic foods informs the seasonally changing menu, but you can always get his signature J Dawg, a Sonoran hot dog with black beans, bacon, and smoked–poblano chile crema. | Average main: $20 | 135 S. 6th Ave., Downtown | 520/623–7700 | www.downtownkitchen.com | No credit cards | No lunch.
El Charro Café.
$$ | MEXICAN | Started by Monica Flin in 1922, the oldest Mexican restaurant in town still serves splendid versions of the Mexican-American staples Flin claims to have originated, most notably chimichangas and cheese crisps. The tortilla soup and carne seca chimichanga, made with beef that is air-dried on the premises—on the roof, actually—are delicious. Located in an old stone house in El Presidio Historic District, the colorful restaurant and bar exude a festive, if slightly touristy, vibe. | Average main: $15 | 311 N. Court Ave., Downtown | 520/622–1922 | www.elcharrocafe.com.
El Minuto Café.
$ | MEXICAN | Popular with local families and the business crowd at lunch, this bustling restaurant is in Tucson’s Barrio Historico neighborhood and stays open until 11 pm Friday and Saturday and 10 pm the rest of the week. For more than 50 years El Minuto has served topopo salads (a crispy tortilla shell heaped with beans, guacamole, and many other ingredients), huge burritos, and green-corn tamales (in season) made just right. The spicy menudo (tripe soup) is reputed to be a great hangover remedy. | Average main: $11 | 354 S. Main Ave., Downtown | 520/882–4145 | www.elminutotucson.com.
47 Scott.
$$ | MODERN AMERICAN | Hip in an understated way, this relatively new restaurant and bar is already at the top of local “best of Tucson” lists, and its cocktails have garnered national attention. The minimalist setting—walnut banquettes, exposed pipes, and bare-bulb lighting—contrasts with the great care taken in preparing entrées like phyllo-wrapped chicken stuffed with spinach and goat cheese, or steamed mussels with andouille sausage and pommes frites. Try a bold, herb-infused cocktail such as the Brick House old fashioned, with bacon-washed rye. Brunch specialties like veggie scrambles and sourdough french toast attract crowds on the weekends. | Average main: $17 | 47 N. Scott Ave., Downtown | 520/624–4747 | www.47scott.com | No credit cards | No lunch weekdays.
Fodor’s Choice | Maynards.
$$$ | FRENCH | An anchor in the downtown district, this French-inspired bistro, bar, and gourmet market–café takes up part of Tucson’s historic train depot. Clever thematic touches—a dining room fashioned long and narrow like a train car, with wheel-like divider walls and lamps made from rail spikes—and the attentive yet relaxed service evoke the romance of a largely bygone era. Choose a table by the window and watch the trains go by. Or, if you prefer, sit outside on the vast patio overlooking the tracks. Menu choices range from starters like fresh oysters and steak tartare to bouillabaisse, coq au vin, and burgers served with pommes frites. The market, open from 7 am to 8 pm daily, sells pastries, sandwiches, and lighter fare to take out or dine in, as well as locally made wines, tamales, and ice cream. | Average main: $25 | 400 N. Toole Ave., Downtown | 520/545–0577 | www.maynardstucson.com | No credit cards | No lunch Mon.–Sat.
University of Arizona
Arizona Inn Restaurant.
$$$$ | EUROPEAN | At one of Tucson’s oldest and most elegant restaurants, dine on the patio overlooking the lush grounds or enjoy the view from the dining room, which has Southwestern details from the 1930s. The culinary range here is broad, from roasted duck in a tart cherry demi-glace to a vegetarian tomato and mushroom cannelloni. Locals mostly come for weekday power breakfasts, business or special occasion lunches, and Sunday brunch. | Average main: $34 | Arizona Inn, 2200 E. Elm St., University | 520/325–1541 | www.arizonainn.com.
Athens on 4th Avenue.
$$ | GREEK | The tranquil dining room in this Greek spot off 4th Avenue is furnished with lace curtains, white stucco walls, and potted plants. Enjoy classics like kotopoulo stin pita (grilled chicken breast with a yogurt-cucumber sauce on fresh pita), moussaka, or the pastitsio (a casserole made with pasta, meat, and béchamel). The house favorite is braised lamb shoulder in a light tomato sauce over pasta or potatoes—call to reserve your order of the lamb ahead of time. The housemade lemon cheesecake will melt in your mouth. | Average main: $18 | 500 N. 4th Ave., at 6th St., University | 520/624–6886 | www.athenson4thave.com | Closed Sun.
The B Line.
$ | AMERICAN | In the heart of 4th Avenue’s amalgam of antique clothing stores, pubs, and natural-food grocers, this casual café in a converted 1920s bungalow attracts a mix of students, professors, downtown professionals, and artists with its simple but refined meals and desserts. Homemade biscuit sandwiches and excellent coffee start the day; the lunch–dinner menu features soups, salads, pastas, burritos, and 13 brews on tap. People-watching as a secondary pleasure doesn’t get any better than sitting against the wraparound window looking out on 4th Avenue. | Average main: $10 | 621 N. 4th Ave., University | 520/882–7575 | www.blinerestaurant.com.
Central Tucson
Bangkok Cafe.
$$ | THAI | This is not only the best Thai food in town, it is top-notch for Thai-food fans. The bright, spacious café serves favorite Thai dishes, along with exceptionally pleasant service; the Thoong Tong appetizer of fried veggie-filled pouches is blissfully good. The spice-heat level of any dish can be adjusted at your request (from 1 through 5—just keep in mind that a 5 might cause steam to blow out the top of your head). There are plenty of options for vegetarians, and tofu can be added to any dish. Try to avoid the dinner rush (6:30–8) on weekends, or you might wait a while to be seated. | Average main: $14 | 2511 E. Speedway Blvd., Central | 520/323–6555 | www.bangkokcafe.net | Closed Sun. | Reservations not accepted.
Fodor’s Choice | Beyond Bread.
$ | CAFÉ | Twenty-seven varieties of bread are made at this bustling bakery with Central, Eastside, and Northwest locations, and highlights from the menu of generous sandwiches include Annie’s Addiction (hummus, tomato, sprouts, red onion, and cucumber) and Brad’s Beef (roast beef, provolone, onion, green chiles, and Russian dressing); soups, salads, and breakfast items are equally scrumptious. Eat inside or on the patio, or order takeout, but either way, splurge on one of the incredible desserts. The other locations—larger and just as busy—are at 6260 East Speedway Boulevard and 421 West Ina Road. | Average main: $8 | 3026 N. Campbell Ave., Central | 520/322–9965 | www.beyondbread.com | No dinner Sun.
Feast.
$$ | ECLECTIC | One of Tucson’s most popular upscale bistros, Feast has a contemporary setting that is bright, cheerful, and conducive to conversation. The eclectic menu, which changes monthly, is filled with interesting combinations of flavors such as rosemary–goat cheese risotto with artichoke hearts and tomatoes, and orange-glazed chicken breast with roasted beets on sesame-cream noodles. Many of the herbs and veggies are grown in the restaurant’s garden. A similarly eclectic array of wines is available for both dining and retail. Though the cuisine may be hard to categorize, it is always yummy—including the homemade desserts. | Average main: $20 | 3719 E. Speedway, Central | 520/326–9363 | www.eatatfeast.com | Closed Mon.
Kingfisher Bar and Grill.
$$$ | AMERICAN | A standout for classic American cuisine, Kingfisher has an emphasis on fresh seafood, especially oysters and mussels, but the kitchen does baby back ribs and steak with equal success. Try the delicately battered fish ‘n’ chips or the clam chowder on the late-night menu, served from 10 pm to midnight daily. Bright panels of turquoise and terra-cotta, black banquettes, and neon lighting make for a chic space in the main dining room, or sit in the cozy bar area with locals who appreciate a good meal with their cocktails. | Average main: $24 | 2564 E. Grant Rd., Central | 520/323–7739 | www.kingfishertucson.com | No lunch weekends.
Molina’s Midway.
$ | MEXICAN | Tucked into a side street just north of Speedway, this charming, unassuming Mexican restaurant holds its own against any in South Tucson. Specialties include “Sinchiladas” (chicken or beef with chiles, cheese, and a cream sauce) and carne asada (chunks of mildly spiced steak) wrapped in soft corn or flour tortillas. Seating is plentiful and the service is friendly; several smaller rooms keep the noise level down. | Average main: $10 | 1138 N. Belvedere, Central | 520/325–9957 | www.molinasmidway.com | Closed Mon.
Tucson Tamale Company.
$ | MEXICAN | A good homemade tamale is special, and a restaurant that prepares and serves them fresh every day with all sorts of creative fillings is a find indeed. Carnivores can indulge in beef, pork, or chicken tamales while vegetarians can opt for traditional, cheese-filled green-corn tamales, or “Blue” tamales, made of blue corn and filled with squash, onion, tomato, and cheese; there are also vegan choices like the Austin, with a spinach and mushroom filling. Breakfast tamales and eggs are served on weekend mornings. Salad, rice, and black beans are side options; most items are gluten-free and made without animal fat. Eat here in the no-frills dining area, or take your tamales to go. | Average main: $8 | 2545 E. Broadway Blvd., Central | 520/305–4760 | www.tucsontamalecompany.com.
Zemam’s.
$ | ETHIOPIAN | It can be hard to get a table in this small, friendly eatery with a loyal following. The sampler plate of any three items allows you to try dishes like yesimir wat (a spicy lentil dish) and lega tibs (a milder beef dish with a tomato sauce). Most of the food has a stewlike consistency, so don’t come if you feel the need to crunch. Everything is served on a communal platter with injera, a spongy bread, and eaten with the hands. Alcohol is “bring your own.” | Average main: $12 | 2731 E. Broadway Blvd., Central | 520/323–9928 | www.zemams.com | Closed Mon. | Reservations not accepted.
Tucson Food: North of the Border
Although Tucson ensures that authentic south-of-the-border culinary and cultural influences aren’t lost in translation, it also cooks up plenty of cross-border sway. The growing University metropolis boasts eats from around the world and mixes these tastes with more local flavors.
Emerging from an era of meat and potatoes and carne and frijoles—all of which it still does exceptionally well—Tucson has become a foodie tour de force. You can indulge in authentic chicken mole (a rich sauce made with chiles and chocolate) and carne seca (dried beef); fill up on some local/global fusion food; or get good and greasy with a Sonoran hot dog.
Start with some classic Mexican dishes such as tamales (filled masa dough wrapped in a corn husk) or enchiladas (corn tortillas filled with meat or cheese). But today even Mexican-American foods are evolving into a new generation of creations. Do you prefer the chimichangas that purportedly originated at El Charro Café or the mango-filled ones at Mi Nidito for dessert? Taste and decide for yourself.
Say Cheese
Many identify Mexican food by bright, glistening layers of cheddar that render the entrée below it unrecognizable. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but true Mexico-style meals are untouched by orange cheese. Authentic dishes are served with much smaller rations of white cheese, usually queso blanco or panela—mild cheeses that become soft and creamy when heated, but don’t melt—and Cotija, a Mexican-style Parmesan. These cheeses now appear on non-Hispanic menus, too.
Pick a Pepper
Another key to authentic Mexican food is its heat source: fresh peppers. These heat-tolerant plants were once a south-of-the-border specialty; increased demand has led to their being raised in the southern United States, where they’ve had a growing impact on regional cuisine. There are endless varieties of the spicy fruit, but here are some more commonly seen on local menus.
Green and Red: Often roasted and peeled for stews and broths, sauces, rubs, marinades, confectionery, chili, and chiles rellenos. Green chiles are unripe, with mild to medium-high heat. Red chiles are ripe, with maximum heat.
Jalapeño: These flavorful green peppers can range from mild to hot and are served pickled, canned, deep-fried for “poppers,” or as a garnish for everything from salads to nachos.
Chipotle: When select jalapeños mature from green to a deep red, they’re prime for the wood-smoking process that creates chipotle (chee- pote-lay) peppers. Their distinct flavor is popular in sauces, marinades, and salsas.
Habañero: This thumb-shape pepper is one of the hottest. A little goes a long way in cooking. It’s most often found in chili recipes and hot sauces.
Poblano: This green pepper, aka pasilla, is usually mild, but can sometimes pack a punch. Dried, it’s an ancho chile. The poblano is used for moles.
Eastside
Pinnacle Peak Steakhouse.
$$ | STEAKHOUSE | Anybody caught eating newfangled foods like fish tacos here would probably be hanged from the rafters—along with the ties snipped from city slickers who overdressed. This cowboy steakhouse serves basic, not stellar, fare: mesquite-broiled steak, ribs, chicken, and grilled fish with salad and pinto beans. The restaurant is part of the somewhat kitschy, family-friendly Trail Dust Town, a re-creation of a turn-of-the-20th-century town, complete with a working antique carousel, a narrow-gauge train, and Western stunt shows staged outside nightly at 7 and 8 ($4). Expect a long wait on weekends. | Average main: $20 | 6541 E. Tanque Verde Rd., Eastside | 520/296–0911 | www.traildusttown.com | No lunch | Reservations not accepted.
Sachiko Sushi.
$$ | JAPANESE | Don’t let the bland interior or the strip-mall setting dissuade you: many locals consider this the best Japanese restaurant in Tucson. Inside, perfectly prepared sushi and sashimi and generous combinations of tempura and teriyaki await, along with friendly service. The owner’s wife is Korean, so the menu also has quite a few Korean classics, like beef and pork bulgogi (barbecue with vegetables) and tofu kimchi. Try a bowl of udon noodles, served in broth with assorted meat, seafood, or vegetables—it’s a satisfying meal in itself. | Average main: $13 | 1101 N. Wilmot Rd., Eastside | 520/886–7000 | www.sachikosushitucson.com.
Catalina Foothills
Acacia.
$$$ | SOUTHWESTERN | One of Tucson’s premier chefs, Albert Hall, relocated his fine-dining restaurant to high in the Catalina Foothills, so now patrons can enjoy stunning city views from both the restaurant and the expansive, more casual bar. Roasted plum tomato and basil soup, a recipe from Hall’s mom, is a favorite starter. Creative dishes like wild salmon with a pecan honey-mustard glaze and wood-roasted quail filled with pancetta, mozzarella, roasted tomatoes, and Oaxacan risotto are among the many tempting, organically grown (or raised) entrées. Vegetarians have choices here, too, including a sweet corn–and–green chile custard with roasted vegetables, fettuccine, and wild mushrooms, and an Asian noodle salad. | Average main: $29 | 3001 E. Skyline Drive, Gallery Row, Foothills | 520/232–0101 | www.acaciatucson.com.
The Grill at Hacienda del Sol.
$$$$ | SOUTHWESTERN | Tucked into the foothills and surrounded by spectacular flowers and cactus gardens, this special-occasion restaurant, a favorite among locals hosting out-of-town visitors, provides an alternative to the chili-laden dishes of most Southwestern nouvelle cuisine. Wild-mushroom bisque, grilled buffalo in dark-chocolate mole, and pan-seared sea bass are among the menu choices at this luxurious guest ranch resort. Lower-priced tapas such as tequila-steamed mussels and carne asada tacos can be enjoyed on the more casual outdoor bar patio, accompanied by live flamenco guitar music on weekends. The lavish Sunday brunch buffet is worth a splurge. | Average main: $38 | Hacienda del Sol Guest Ranch Resort, 5501 N. Hacienda Del Sol Rd., Foothills | 520/529–3500 | www.haciendadelsol.com/dining/the-grill.htm | No lunch Mon.–Sat.
North.
$$ | ITALIAN | This trendy eatery in upscale La Encantada Shopping Center melds an urban-loft look with rustic Italian touches, including bright red chairs and metal tables. North draws crowds who come for the excellent thin-crust pizzas, pasta, fish, and steak, all prepared in the open kitchen. Alfresco dining on the wraparound patio affords views of the city and quieter conversation; on most evenings the expansive bar area inside buzzes with Tucson’s young professionals. | Average main: $18 | La Encantada Shopping Center, 2995 E. Skyline Dr., Foothills | 520/299–1600 | www.foxrc.com.
Tavolino.
$$ | ITALIAN | Italian classics like lasagna al forno, ravioli di zucca, and osso buco have never tasted better than at Chef Mossimo’s Tavolino, tucked into a small complex of art galleries across from La Encantada Mall. All the pastas are house-made, and even the bread—a pizza dough recipe—is scrumptious. Wood-fired pizzas and the slow-roasted pork loin are deservedly popular. The mostly Italian wine list includes some excellent selections from Pietro Rinaldi (Mossimo’s brother’s vineyards), just to keep it all in the family. | Average main: $19 | 2890 E. Skyline Dr., Foothills | 520/531–1913 | www.tavolinoristorante.com | No credit cards.
Vivace.
$$$ | ITALIAN | A nouvelle Italian bistro in a lovely Foothills setting, Vivace has long been a favorite with Tucsonans. Wild mushrooms and goat cheese in puff pastry is hard to resist as a starter. The fettuccine with grilled salmon is a nice, lighter alternative to such entrées as a rich osso buco. For dessert, the molten chocolate cake with spumoni is worth the 20 minutes it takes to create. Patio seating, with either city or mountain views, is especially inviting on warm evenings. | Average main: $24 | 6440 N. Campbell Ave., Foothills | 520/795–7221 | www.vivacetucson.com | Closed Sun.
Zinburger.
$ | AMERICAN | Have a glass of wine or a cocktail with your gourmet burger and fries at this high-energy, somewhat noisy, and unquestionably hip burger joint. Zinburger delivers tempting burgers—try the Kobe beef with cheddar and wild mushrooms—and decadent milkshakes made of exotic combinations like dates and honey or melted chocolate with praline flakes. A few creative salads, including one with ahi tuna, round out the menu. The restaurant also has a second location on the northeast side of town. | Average main: $10 | 1865 E. River Rd., Foothills | 520/299–7799 | www.foxrc.com.
Northwest Tucson
Sauce.
$ | ITALIAN | Modern Italian fuses with fast food here at North Restaurant’s casual little sister in Casas Adobes Plaza. Delicious thin-crust pizzas, chopped salads, pastas, and panini are ordered at the counter in this lively, family-friendly spot decorated in a contemporary twist on the colors of Italy’s flag—green, white, and tomato-red. The food is fast, fresh, and affordable, without sacrificing sophisticated taste. Two additional locations, on East Broadway in Eastside and North Campbell in Central, are identical in both decor and menu. | Average main: $9 | Casas Adobes Plaza, 7117 N. Oracle Rd., Northwest | 520/297–8575 | www.saucepizzaandwine.com.
Tohono Chul Garden Bistro.
$$ | SOUTHWESTERN | The food at Tohono Chul Garden Bistro is fine, but what many come for is the location inside a wildlife sanctuary, surrounded by flowering desert gardens. The Southwestern interior has Mexican tile, light wood, and a cobblestone courtyard. Dine on the back patio to watch hummingbirds and butterflies. House favorites include prickly pear chicken salad on croissant, vegan quiche (a tofu-and-garbanzo custard with veggies), burgers, and assorted salads. Open daily 8 to 4:30, the bistro also serves breakfast, a popular choice on weekends. | Average main: $15 | Tohono Chul Park, 7366 N. Paseo del Norte, Northwest | 520/742–6455 | www.tohonochulpark.org | No dinner.
Wildflower Grill.
$$ | AMERICAN | A glass wall separates the bar from the dining area, where an open kitchen, high ceiling with painted flowers, and blue-green banquettes complete the light and airy effect. Wildflower Grill is well known for its creative American fare and stunning presentation, and the menu has compelling choices like a salmon and seafood bouillabaise; bow-tie pasta with grilled chicken, tomatoes, spinach, and pine nuts; and red wine–braised short ribs. The decadently huge desserts are equally top-notch. Request a banquette or seating on the patio in the evening if you want quiet conversation, as the room can be noisy. | Average main: $20 | Casa Adobes Plaza, 7037 N. Oracle Rd., Northwest | 520/219–4230 | www.foxrc.com/restaurants/wildflower-american-cuisine.
South Tucson
Micha’s.
$ | MEXICAN | Family-owned for 39 years, this local institution in the heart of South Tucson is a nondescript Mexican diner serving some of the best Sonoran classics this side of the border. House specialties include machaca (shredded beef) enchiladas and chimichangas, and cocido, a hearty vegetable-beef soup. Homemade chorizo spices up breakfast, which is served daily. | Average main: $10 | 2908 S. 4th Ave., South | 520/623–5307 | www.michascatering.com | No dinner Mon.
Mi Nidito.
$ | MEXICAN | A perennial favorite among locals (the wait is worth it), Mi Nidito (“my little nest”) has also hosted its share of visiting celebrities. Following President Clinton’s lunch here, the rather hefty Presidential Plate (bean tostada, taco with barbecued meat, chiles rellenos, chicken enchilada, and beef tamale with rice and beans) was added to the menu. Top that off with the mango chimichangas for dessert, and you’re talkin’ executive privilege. | Average main: $10 | 1813 S. 4th Ave., South | 520/622–5081 | www.minidito.net | Closed Mon. and Tues.
