Northwest Tucson is home to a surprising diversity of food options. It's the only place in Tucson where you'll find a full dim sum service and has one of only two New Mexican restaurants in town.
Ellice Lueders As metro Tucson spreads into the foothills and valleys north of the city center, it has taken restaurants some time to catch up to the population trend. On social media, I most often see requests for food recommendations on the edges of the Tucson metro: east of Houghton, south to Sahuarita and north to Marana.
Chain restaurants are easy to find across the board. What’s harder to find, and the point of this article, is to share locally-owned eateries and options you can’t find anywhere else in Tucson. The geographical boundaries of this roundup are north of River Road and on or west of Oracle Road. If you live in the communities in northwest Tucson and beyond, where are your go-to local eateries? What do you wish you had more of? Let me know at [email protected] you live in midtown, you know the rotation: Opa’s Best, Zayna’s, Shish Kebab House … but if you live in Catalina, you can find stellar Greek food in your backyard. The menu shines toward seafood and imported wines.
