Food in Tucson

I should mention that there is some GREAT food in Tucson. And we have done a pretty good survey of what this city has to offer, so far. Most of it is pretty readily found on the internet. I'll give you a quick rundown of our favorites so far:

Rosati's for Chicago-style STUFFED Deep Dish pizza, Grimaldi's for New York style, Gee's for dim sum, El Charro's for Mexican, Ali Baba's for Lebanese, Ha Long Bay for Vietnamese, Korea House for... well Korean, and Zemam's for Ethiopian.

As you can see, the variety is superb! [The benefits of being in a college-town and a very open-minded culinary town.]

But there are some restaurants that tend to not make the Zagat Surveys or internet listings. One example is a little haunt called El Cuero Canelo. This little place is in the 'hood! It's located in the South side of the city- near the airport, in a predominantly Mexican part of town. And the food is AWESOME!

What's not to love?

It's cheap.

Everything is decorated in the colors of the Mexican flag.

And their centerpiece? The Mexican Hot Dog!

There's also a great little bakery across the way called Estrella. The churros are just fantastic, and I was going to take a picture of it, but ate it instead.

Sorry!
