    Don't leave before taking a stroll to the neighboring lot to visit the shrine dedicated to El Tiradito (the Castaway).


  • Description:

    • This restaurant is adjacent to Tucson's historic barrio viejo and caters to tourists and area employees. The food is standard Sonoran-style Mexican fare, but it's done reliably well in a cozy, welcoming environment. This is the quintessentially Tucson Mexican restaurant: down-to-earth dishes smothered in delectable red sauce, served up on a hot-to-touch plate. On busy weekdays and weekends, vendors sell Mexican imports and gifts outside the front entrance.
