Hi, I’m Shane — owner and publisher of Tucson Foodie.
I’ve been eating and drinking my way through Tucson for over a decade, but things really accelerated in 2022 when I took over Tucson Foodie and made it my full-time mission to explore and celebrate this city’s food scene. Since then, I’ve tasted just about everything I can get my hands on — not just for the sake of research, but because I genuinely love this town and the people feeding it.
Whenever someone asks me where to eat, I always recommend a specific dish or drink. There are only a handful of places in Tucson where I love everything on the menu (as you'll see below) — for most spots, there’s a dish that keeps me coming back.
So I started keeping track.
This is a living guide to my favorite dishes and drinks in Tucson — the ones I crave, recommend, or go out of my way for. I update it regularly: adding new discoveries, removing dishes and drinks when they’re no longer available.
