Here’s a look back at what the Tucson Foodie team enjoyed during May!
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.
The Carajillo at La Frida Mexican Grill was the perfect way to start a Sunday Funday. I love having such a high-quality, fun restaurant on the east side!
The special collaboration dinner between Dr. Andrew Weil and Chef Tyler Fenton of BATA. I love it when after a meal I feel completely satisfied, but I don’t hate myself. I always get that feeling at BATA. Their wine pairings are primo!
Shout out to Produce on Wheels because this was 1/3 of the veggies I got from them for $15.
Calle Tepa has a margarita pitcher that’s perfect for Summer. Tacos and margs? What could be better?
Death Free Ramen at Obon.
Avocado Toast at Edna’s Eatery by Charly’s Grill. Learn more about Charly’s.
Spring rolls at Pure Love Juice.
Beer! Not just any beer, though. It’s Pueblo Vida Brewing’s annual 520 Day IPA. Try it while you can! I found a can of it at one of my favorite taprooms, Tucson Hop Shop. One of my favorite spots to sit is upstairs above the bar. I’m like a little pigeon up there minding my own business.
We met my mom at La Chaiteria. She somehow got lost and ended up across the street in the parking lot of the drive-thru liquor spot, but once we rounded her up I ordered the Barbacoa Burrito.
Croutons are cool. So is the Caesar Salad at Ermanos.
Probably my favorite calamari in town is at Kingfisher! These crispy critters come with sweety drop peppers, a sweet chili sauce, and sweet, I mean, spicy jalapeños. Read all about their new menu items.
Chicken Tikka Pizza at Bollywood Pizza Company.
Salt & Pepper Tofu at Go Dim Sum.
Dinner at 5 Points! I had the Whole Roasted Cauliflower, Smoked Olives, and Vermouth Service.
Vegetarian Egusi Soup at Alafia West African Cuisine.
Chicken Parmesan at Doughbird.
Buff Chick Pizza at Iron John’s!
Cannoli at Mama Louisa’s!
Hey, we’ve added a few favorites from Tucson Foodie Insiders! Insiders can upload some of the dishes they’ve ordered, allowing others to see what they enjoyed eating.
The Sgt. Pepper pizza: garlic oil base, smoked cheese blend, roasted Anaheim chiles, house sausage, Desert Provisions Hatch green chili salt, Mike’s Hot Honey drizzle (added half jalapeños).
Great Sandwich for lunch or dinner. The Italian Stallion Sub is a hoagie with pepperoni, salami, ham, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, pepperoncini, and a side of Italian dressing on a toasted bun.
The Closed-Faced Lox and Golden Beer Sandwich. Your choice of bagel, cream cheese, filled with lox, golden beets, sprigs of dill, cucumber, and red onion.
