I’m often asked where I like to eat in Tucson. The honest answer is: in my home. I’m a good cook, and the food I prepare at home is usually better than what I get in most restaurants. That said, I like to eat out as much as anyone, but I’m very selective about where. What I mostly look for is really good food. While Tucson is known for a rich food heritage, I’ve found it harder to have great restaurant experiences here than in other cities I know.
These are places that I think get it right or have dishes that I particularly enjoy. I return to them frequently and recommend them often.
