Apparently, December is an excellent time to open a restaurant or food related business in Tucson with newcomers Reforma, Cashew Cow, and Jackson Tavern.

Cashew Cow

16. S. Eastbourne Avenue

Opening Monday at 11:30am is cashew-based ice cream parlor, Cashew Cow. It’s a non-dairy ice cream made with all natural ingredients. Check out our recent feature here.

Jackson Tavern

2900 N. Swan Road

Metzger Family Restaurants fifth restaurant installment is a New England-inspired eatery at Plaza Palomino. Look for Deviled Eggs, oysters, clam strips, crab cakes, and much much more. Tucson Foodie originally announced Jackson Tavern in August as a fall opening, however, as is often the case, the opening was pushed back. Jackson Tavern opens Monday, December 15.

Reforma Cocina Y Cantina

4340 N. Campbell Avenue

The team behind Union Public House have completely revamped the former Vivace location into a modern, central Mexican cuisine restaurant. Beautifully designed by Repp + Mclain, the team behind Sparkroot, Sidecar, Cashew Cow, and numerous other build outs, the restaurant is a shining example of full-on from the minute you enter. Reforma opened Sunday, December 14.
