Restaurant of the Week: Salad Nation


November 20, 2024

Each week, we highlight one of our favorite restaurants in Tucson!

If you think fast food is always unhealthy, Salad Nation is here to change the game.

This family-owned business, which is located inside the Park Place Mall, offers healthy meals that cater to different tastes and preferences, with menu offerings like chicken sandwiches, paninis, fresh salads with housemade dressings, and much more. 

Also, the “salad bar with a twist” updates the menu often, and this time it’s something belly-warming for the season — menudo!

From now until Tuesday, December 31, Salad Nation is offering authentic Hispanic menudo for the holidays.

“We bring a lot of the Hispanic roots that come with Salad Nation from my dad,” said Omar Solorzano, co-owner of Salad Nation. “I was the one who kept trying to make this plant grow — get everything going — and then my mom jumped in. She runs a lot of the accounting and finances, and a lot of the color tones, the logo, everything was inspired by her. And then I’m the one who made all the gears, all of the little internal things that they couldn’t think of.”

You’ll also find Hispanic-inspired flavors in the dressings and traditional soups, like Caldo de Queso, Tortilla Soup, and Mexican Noodle Soup.
