Accompanied by the ring of spatulas slapping against the grill top, the cooks at Amelia’s Mexican Kitchen cooked up their specialty birria. Jose Contreras, the owner of the restaurant, said the recipes have a family connection. It’s a legacy that we have from my grandma, Amelia’s, with the recipes,” Contreras said.Recently Amelia’s Mexican Kitchen was recognized by the New York Times, which Contreras said was an honor. It was an opportunity for him to reach communities outside of Tucson .
“We are very excited to see new people from New York,” he said.In cities like New York, Phoenix, Chicago, and Los Angeles, Visit Tucson said they’re using a social media campaign to promote America’s Best Mexican Food.“They’re going to know more about our culture, our food,” Contreras said.All throughout the city, Visit Tucson said they’ve put up 36 signs saying ‘Home of America’s Best Mexican Food’. One of them is near Grant and Craycroft.
