Pita Jungle Launches a New Seasonal Kitchen Crafts Menu

Pita Jungle Launches a New Seasonal Kitchen Crafts Menu

Jan 16, 20243 min read

Pita Jungle has recently introduced its newest Seasonal Kitchen Crafts Menu, providing a convenient and delightful way to kickstart your New Year with healthy eating resolutions.

Side note: For the seventh straight year, the Mediterranean diet has won the title of best overall diet in U.S. News and World Report’s annual ranking of best diets. That’s pretty nifty, right? What’s even niftier is that Pita Jungle is all about Mediterranean-inspired dishes.

The new seasonal menu titled ‘International Street Flavors’ features a variety of meals with light, fresh, and unprocessed ingredients inspired by “the celebration of foods and flavors from streets across the globe.” The International Street Flavors menu is available now through late spring for dine-in, carryout, and delivery.

More details on Tucsonfoodie.com #tucson #tucsonfoodieTwo days at @Hiltonelcon felt like the ultimate staycation. Between the pools, hot spring and cold plunge, water slide, yoga, live music, complimentary bike rentals, and their nostalgic “Summer Rewind” experience, there was always something to do. We never left the resort. 

The highlight at their on-site restaurant, Epazote Kitchen & Cocktails, was the Pollo Con Rajas - perfectly cooked chicken over a rich creamed poblano, onion, and corn mestizaje. And if you’re at their Sundance Café for breakfast, get the pozole. It’s made from a family recipe that became such a guest favorite it earned a permanent spot on the menu. 

Although El Conquistador licenses the Hilton brand, it’s owned and operated by a local company. The culinary team sources much of its meat and produce from Arizona. 

Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or just looking for an incredible dinner with Catalina Mountain views, this spot is worth adding to your list. 🌵🌞
