Visit Tucson launched the first in its series of Mexican food trading cards for The Best 23 Miles of Mexican Food. Each pack includes eight trading cards, one checklist, and a stick of gum. 25 different cards are available in this batch.

Tucson Foodie had the honor of contributing photos to the project, so you may recognize some of them.

Trading card packs — at $5 a pack — can be purchased at Why I Love Where I Live at the MSA Annex at 267 S. Avenida del Convento, Building 2.

Additionally, Visit Tucson will have giveaways on their social channels such as @visittucson on Instagram. Tucson Foodie is planning on giveaways too, so follow @tucsonfoodie on Instagram if you don’t already.

@Lovinspoonfulstucson is closing after more than 20 years in Tucson. Its final day of service runs on Saturday, Oct. 24.

Customers can stop in between now and Saturday for one last meal. The team plans to sell down its inventory, though it hopes to have favorite dishes available. Regular hours remain 9am-3pm through the final day.

“Running this kitchen has been a labor of love, but the numbers just aren’t adding up anymore, and as parents, we have to make the hard choice to step back and take care of what matters most at home.”
