Great for experienced hikers. Not much shade, but the trail takes you across a small waterway. If you prefer to sightsee rather than walk, there is a regular electric tram service to drive you through the recreation area.

Authentic Mexican food with flair. This family owned restaurant is a reclaimed fast food place but don't be fooled by the architecture. You can drive through and order, but we recommend going inside to order. That way you can indulge in the salsa bar - we like the creamy jalapeno and the mango habanero, but try a little of each to find your own perfect blend. They do a smothered baked potato that is out of this world.

Nothing like reliably tasty BBQ; all the meats including a BBQ meatloaf to die for, and delicious salmon. Great side dishes. There's a bar and an ice cream shop off the side that is ABSOLUTELY worth checking out. Order in line and eat there or take it home.

Date-night worthy restaurants are rare here, but Tito and Pep delivers marvelously! Fun adult beverages, delicious tapas, and the best steak and porkchops we've had in town. A bit pricey with cocktails, but totally worth the splurge. Fun decor, great wait staff, and a fast but sophisticated kitchen.

Cajun inspired gastro pub. A small menu of ingenious dishes prepared with an exacting eye. The fries are spectacular, the lemonade a perfect balance of refreshing tart and sweet. The salmon salad is amazing and the shrimp po’ boy a work of culinary genius. Large portions, excellent service, amazing art and atmosphere. Chef is an Iron Chef winner. Worth the drive.

Sunscreen and Shade are Your Friends

Even during the winter season, the sun in Tucson is fierce. Bring a hat and plenty of your favorite sunscreen, and prepare to refresh every few hours while you are outdoors. People who are particularly sensitive may wish to carry an umbrella or sun parasol. Savor the sunshine, but respect it as well.

The Pleasures of Tucson's Monsoon Season

Monsoon season only sounds unpleasant. The reality is much different. Just before a monsoon rain the air is light, caressing your skin and the skies turn purple. The evenings are mild, the cacti bloom, and the mountainsides turn green. There are no day long drizzles - just glorious cloudbursts for a few hours, then the air grows bright and and clean. It truly is our favorite time of year. If you find yourself here in late August or September, after a particularly wet monsoon season, you will want to pack insect repellant and make sure the screens are closed.

Plan for Casual Dress

Tucson is a very chill town. Even at the most expensive restaurant a nice pair of shorts and a polo shirt is sufficient. For going out shopping or a night on the town, you don’t need a tie or heels to fit right in. In Tucson, comfort is King.
