This legendary eatery is the foundation on which Tucson's dining scene was built, and it's a must-visit when you come to the Old Pueblo. All areas are decked out in brightly colored furnishings and authentic Mexican accessories. A festive, lively atmosphere pervades, and the huge menu features dishes that have been served here since it opened in 1922. Some specialties have been updated by Chef Carlotta Flores to appeal to modern tastes by lowering the fat content. Full bar service features more than 80 types of tequilas. Try them straight up, or in one of many margarita mixtures. Drinks run USD3 and up. Additional location at 6310 East Broadway Boulevard, at El Mercado Shops and Restaurants.
