Here’s a look back at what the Tucson Foodie team enjoyed during April!
Also, not only are these reminders of the dishes we ate, but they can also be a guide for your own decisions on what to eat here in Tucson.
Literally any of the pastries at Cafe Francais are worth the drive. The croissants are perfectly laminated and the baguettes had a light and airy interior. Not pictured is the ham and Swiss croissant that I immediately devoured.
The fried ice cream at Guillermo’s is absolutely where it’s at. I had the menudo and chicken flautas and finished string with this dessert. It’s the perfect way to end a meal.
My husband and I hosted a watch party for the Sopranos finale — yeah I know we’re about 15 years late. We ordered in from Nate’s Italian Kitchen and it was the best decision we made. We ordered the chicken parm and the ziti and included cannolis for good measure. Best value for money!
The Yellow Beet Salad at Bottega Michelangelo! I like the addition of pistachios for a crunchy texture. Best enjoyed with their housemade bread and the delicious oil (olive, balsamic, garlic, and some spicy heat).
Ghini’s French Caffe serves up a great brunch. I particularly enjoyed the Omelette du Soleil, a garlicky herby frittata-style egg dish.
Barbacoa at Tacos Apson.
Four-cheese deep-dish pizza at Rocco’s Little Chicago.
Fusilli at Locale.
Prickly Pear Margarita at Reforma.
Chez Peachy’s Matcha Strawberry Bliss and the cutest strawberry bento cake.
I had two carne asada tacos and an adobada taco at Baja Mar. I also got some toritos which I had never had before. Bacon-wrapped peppers stuffed with shrimp and cream cheese. So good!
Carne Asada Burrito from Maico Restaurant!
Tres Amigos pizza from Ciao Down — enjoyed on Tucson Hop Shop’s beautiful patio.
One of my favorite slices in town! It’s called the 4. and is tomato sauce, salami, Calabrian chili, red onion, ricotta, parmesan.
I’ve become addicted to the street corn at Redbird. And that Crispy Nashville-Arizona Chicken sandwich was outstanding. A huge piece of chicken breast fried to a fabulous crunch.
The hush puppy at Mama Louisa’s.
Grapefruit Paloma at the Red Light Lounge.
Open-face roasted poblano at Chela’s.
Enmoladas de Pollo at El Antojo Poblano.
The Death Free Vegan Ramen at Obon.
The fish tacos at La Bufadora.
The vegan wings at Los Perches.
The regular bread service at Falora.
Vegetable Lo Mein from Mantis Gourmet.

At a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a...
