PSA coming from someone who has lived in Tucson for 15 years: If you are going to get a Sonoran hot dog, don't go to El Guero Canelo's. They get all the publicity from non-locals, but if you ask anyone who lives here, most will tell you they're on just okay. Haven't been in years because he moved his cart to a different side of town, but my favorite was always Sammy El Sinaloense (Not to be confused with just El Sinaloense which has like 5 carts. The good carts toast the bolillo on the griddle with either mayo or butter, and wrap the chili guero's (the yellow pepper's that come with the hot dogs) in bacon and stuff them with cheese. Most carts have better hot dogs than El Guero's or BK's, and are usually run by immigrant families that will probably appreciate your business more than Bk's or El Guero's will. This isn't to throw shade at either of them, because they both started off with carts too, and paved the way for the rest! Just feel like the product at the carts is usually better

From Tucson and this has got to be the worst most mainstream spots to get grub, eegees is about the most legit place you listed otherwise it just seemed like you got paid to advertise these places or just haven't been anywhere that serves good food just picture plated food. You do this city injustice by recommending these as Tucson food! And Amy's Donut's? Really? A donut shop it a place you rather put on this list rather than any other? That tells me you're a hack!

Right after I moved to Tucson, I met Don of Barrio Bread (friend of a friend sort of scenario. Super nice guy. Barrio Charro is a great lunch spot that I've gone to multiple times. Seis Kitchen also has a location on River Road & Campbell. just so happened to go there last night for dinner! I haven't been to Amy's Donuts, but right next to it is Monument Camera, which is one of the neatest used camera stores around. Vintage lenses galore!

I live in Tucson & I can confidently say that BOCA is my absolute favorite restaurant! Everything on the menu is delicious but i have to say the best thing they offer is the chips & salsa starter dish (i know it sounds crazy but trust me. It comes with five different unique salsas that are switched daily & made in house as well as fresh chips to dip. I highly highly recommend giving this place a try!

Funny story! I lived in Tucson in the mid 70s. Eegees started in a step van! As they grew, they sold the stepvan. My uncle bought it! He used to drive me to school( Alice Vail Jr. High) in this step van! It was white with a huge lemon on the side! I think I was the most embarrassed kid in Tucson! Hahaha! Good frozen lemonade though! From Morris Park in the Ozarks, have a wonderful day!

Our kids went to college there. We were there a few weeks ago. My favorite place is Beyond Bread. My husband likes Lindys. Frankies and Lolos were favorites back then. Guadalajara Grill is great for large groups. We had 27 in our party once and no problem for them. Great college town.

Native to Tucson me and my wife eat at all these places. I recommend 12 ave. They have a lot of restaurants and food trucks supposedly best Mexican food in the U. S. which wouldn't be surprising since Mexico is half an hour away. I recommend starting at Rollies

Sorry, but El Guero Canelo is not as good as everyone says. 90% of the Sonoran Hot Dog stands are better than here. Went to two different locations and both were just ok. El Perro Loco though, one of the absolute best and converted everyone I took there.

A few more recommendations from a local: Sher-e-Punjab (Indian, sa-ing (Thai, kogi (Korean, Zemam's (Ethiopian) and North Italia (okay, that last one isn't only a Tucson thing but it's really good. All of them are absolutely phenomenal!

I can tell this video is old bc Barista hasn't done the tamale inside the breakfast burrito in years. But THAT was indeed the best and most genius breakfast burrito of all time. Truly tragic that they don't allow it anymore. CMON, BARISTA!

Eegee's was a Tucson institution, it was bought out by a corporation in 2018 and has gone down hill ever since. Slice and Ice on Grant Rd. west of I-10 is run by a former Eegee's owner. Very very close to what Eegee's used to be.

I'm sorry to inform you that Eeggees is no longer just in Tucson. The owners sold to a huge corporatio and they plan on taking the Tucson icon national. Although they claim the ideals of original eeggees will remain intact.

We went to brushfire BBQ. We asked a local who was working at an Indian jewelry store and that was their recommendation for good local BBQ. It was so good, we went back the following year on our annual road trip.

El Guero Canelo has great pricing for their Sonoran dogs but youd be better off going to a random food truck for one. You want to make sure the bun gets fried on a pan in butter. All subjective though

Spice Garden arguably has some of the best Indian food in Tucson, even though its a bit of a drive to Cortaro. Also, Cafe Desta serves delicious Ethiopian food and is centrally located too

As soon as I say El Charro, I knew it was a garbage list. Who wants almonds or raisins in their traditional Mexican food lol. They put ridiculous items inside their menu items to be different.

I would say La Estrella is the superior bakery in Tucson! They sell traditional Mexican baked goods and tortillas in addition to the typical donuts you would find other places.

The hole in the walls are best.

Literally my favorite thing about living here is the food! It would be a crime to come visit without trying a sonoran dog or an eegee.

If you ever come back you need to try the Indian food at Sher-E-Punjab, they have the best chicken tikka masala in the country.
