Hacienda Ebelson guide to Tucson
Where we like to eat in Tucson
Throwing out some tried and true standbys as well as some secret gems that we enjoy. Please note that our tastes tend to mainly skew towards holes in the wall and unique offerings that make Tucson, well, Tucson. Also have some safe bets in there for families and if you want to have a nice night out. Enjoy!
Many do Sonoran food; they do it very well at great price. Table side guacamole that is fantastic.

Snooze, an A.M. Eatery
2500 E Grant RdPossibly best breakfast in town in a town that knows breakfast. Great service always!
So Snooze is where you take the family for a great breakfast/brunch. Bobo's is "Just like Mom's cooking, without all the questions."
If you've been out late, or you get up early, Bobo's is worth the drive just a little further east on Grant. It's a little grittier, but cheaper and the service is always excellent. No chai lattes with oat milk here, but you will never see the bottom of your coffee cup. The Flying Saucer at the bottom of the menu sounds weird, but it is really tasty. (Pro tip: get it with two fried eggs on top). Any menu that has chicken fried steak also gets moved up the list. :-)

Great little spot right off the bike trail to get a solid caffeine boost or enjoy a post ride cafe americano. If going to be in town for a bit, get a jug of cold brew to take home and put in the fridge. You won't regret it, but go easy in the afternoons- you want to be able to sleep afterall!

Kingfisher is such an insider's place that you can't even find in on the AirBnB guidebook search. Amazing seafood, great cocktails and impeccable service. You have to make a reservation, they don't like walk ins. The ceviche is a must, and there are always rotating specials. A nice place to go as a couple or with adult friends. Kids would be happier with pizza and a sitter. :-)

A Tucson must-have, Eegee's makes an ice slush that is if a snowcone and some Italian ice had a baby. Fine shaved ice with rotating flavors help cool off everyone after a hot day of hiking or biking. Be the hero parent! Pro tip: as for two flavors and they will fill the cup, side by side with your request.

If you haven't tried a Sonoran Hot Dog, you are missing out. There are BK's all over the city, but the one on 1st St is fun in all its gritty glory. Eat one, and then eat another, we're not judging...

A trip to Tucson is not complete without a trip up to the top of Mt Lemmon. Go early to avoid the crowds, and keep going up past Summerhaven and park at the top for hiking and sightseeing

Dive Bars
The Buffet has been slinging drinks continuously since 1934. If you want a cheap pitcher of Coors Banquet, a lot of local color and a non-pretentious evening of fun just off of campus, The Buffet is worth checking out. Friendly staff and patrons. Usually not crowded

Danny's is a gem of a dive bar, not too far from the house. Pool tables, shuffle board, darts and pinball all available, as well as plush vinyl orchestra booths for hanging out, or a long padded bar for being more social. Friendly staff, respectful patrons, and your basic line up of drafts and drinks. Food truck outside provides sustenance if needed. This is a short uber ride, or if necessary, a short walk home through the Winterhaven neighborhood.

Your new favorite Polynesian dive bar in Tucson, but clean enough to bring the whole family. Since 1962, they’ve been slinging strong, solid cocktails. 4-7pm Mon-Fri Happy Hour- order the Hawaiian Nachos and Pulled Pork Sliders, skip the calamari. Tiki drinks- Mai Tai and Fog Cutter are great. Coconut Milk punch for the driver. Scorpion Bowls and Zombie cocktails act like truth serum, so be careful. Do not tell your brother-in-law that his mustache looks creepy.
