Dining in Tucson

Because of its proximity to Sonora, Mexico, Tucson has adopted a recognizably Mexican culinary taste and combined it with the rustic cooking style of Southwestern dishes. As a result, the dining scene in Tucson is rich in signature Mexican elements such as fajitas, a wide variety of salsas, tortillas, and even the signature brightly colored designs of Mexican diners.
