"Yes, it has the required pork, hominy, shredded cabbage, radishes and squeeze of lime. To take it to a diner-style level of homey flavor, the chefs here serve it topped with a heaping spoonful of mole-spiced blood pudding, which then gets swirled into the soup, resulting in layers of richness and augmented flavor. Go to: Welcome Diner"

"CaféWelcome Diner offers an old-school vibe with a contemporary menu. Instead of the classic burgers and milkshakes, the menu has items like the No Way Jose burger with jalapeño relish, chipotle ranch smoked gouda, muenster, and arugula. Pair it with a Hurricane—rum blend and house punch in a mason jar."

"A fixture in Tucson since 1971, this is the preferred stop on sweltering Arizona days when folks drop in for an "eegee," a unique fruity, slushy concoction somewhere between an Italian ice and a slightly thawed sorbet. Choose from lemon, strawberry, pina colada or the changing flavor of the month. Food-wise, the subs, salads, soups, fries and pasta are steps above the usual fast food fare, making it a popular lunchtime destination, too."

"I can’t mention frozen summer treats in Tucson without mentioning Eegee’s. It’s literally one of the first recommendations I received when I arrived here last fall. It took me a few months, but I finally gave it a shot."

"Inspired by the colorful streets of Tepatitlan, Jalisco in Mexico, Calle Tepa is Tucson's latest and greatest Mexican cafe.

Here is everything you would want from a fast-casual Mexican food cafe: homemade recipes, made-from-scratch salsas, and pillowy tortillas cooked in front of you."

"What is it: Known to locals as the “Wishing Shrine,” legend has it that El Tiradito (located at 400 South Main Avenue) is the grave of a young sheepherder named Juan who was murdered as a result of a love triangle back in the 1870s. Meaning “the castaway,” El Tiradito is said to be the only shrine in the country that is dedicated not to a saint or religious leader but to, as the plaque reads, “a sinner buried in unconsecrated ground.”. Why go: People visit to say prayers, light candles and leave a “milagro” (a small religious charm)."

"An 1870's love triangle ended in murder and is now the site of a shrine. This soap opera-like tale focuses on the death of an adulterous young man who was in love with his mother-in-law. The tale ends in tragedy for all, and the young ranch hand was buried on the site of the shrine, where he was brutally murdered by his father-in-law."

"Legend says your wish will come true if you light a candle in the evening and it burns all night."
