Each week, we want to highlight one of our favorite restaurants in Tucson!
If you’re looking for a taste of Mexico in Tucson, look no further than Del Cielo Tamal at 3073 N. Campbell Ave. This colorful, casual eatery offers a menu with a section of vegan dishes, including tamales, vegan omelets, burritos, cheesecake, and more.
The restaurant that got its start as a pop-up at Heirloom Farmers Markets also makes Thursdays more exciting for eaters here in Tucson. The restaurant offers a sweet and savory all-you-can-eat vegan breakfast buffet every Thursday from 9 – 11 a.m.
Load your plate with fluffy pancakes, steamy tamales, crispy potatoes, creamy beans, and more.
Enjoy freshly squeezed orange juice or a hot cup of coffee with your meal. You’ll have multiple sugar choices and a personal favorite — vegan creamer. If you’re not available to stop by for the Thursday buffet, The Vegan Breakfast Plate is always available, fresh to order.
Also, you don’t need to be vegan to love Del Cielo — the menu is made with love.
