Food Scene
This is a Tucson original and embodies the flavor of traditional Mexican food you can't find anywhere else. Nana's (grandmas) cooking at its best!

Another Tucson favorite, this downtown location is the original and its unique pueblito atmosphere is worth a visit, but if you just want the same amazing food and margaritas, but a lot closer, there is an El Charro East 5 minutes from the house!

Family owned and run, this is not only a great spot for amazing Italian food, it's the hub for entertainment located on Tucson's eclectic 4th Avenue! We recommend their salad (dressing is to die for) and lasagna (scratch cooking at its best).

Located at the historic Hotel Congress downtown, where famous bank robber John Dillinger was arrested, this Cafe is located on the first floor and sports live outdoor music most nights. Its food is incredible and varied, very posh without the arrogance!

Super fun scene for families and couples too. They are a classic "cowboy" steakhouse that serves beans with every meal, great barbecue flavor. They are a major piece of Trail Dust Town, which has a magic house, merry-go-round and hosts an old west "shootout" on weekends. Really fun atmosphere, casual dining they say ties are prohibited (you'll see many cut off hung from the ceiling).

Sightseeing
Old Tucson Studios
Classic film studio full of western charm. An old Tucson classic!
A short jaunt down the road with dozens of amazing hikes and paved trails for those who prefer, as well as tram access through some of the canyon if need. Bring water!
Try Blacketts trail for a medium to hard trail, it's one of our favorites at sunset or sunrise even better!

Wonderful year-round, with Summer Nights good for scorpion hunting. If you want to explore the desert in a more controlled atmosphere, while still feeling like you're in the wild this is it!
