Must-Visit Tucson Restaurants: Renee Downing

Posted By on Fri, Mar 16, 2007 at 10:45 AM

Continuing with the list of must-visit Tucson restaurants we Weekly resident foodies compiled at the request of a reader ... here's Renee Downing's two cents. My list can be found here, with Karyn Zoldan's here; Rita Connelly's list will come later.

  • Green corn tamales—I haven't had them for years, but the ones at Lerua's on Broadway used to be the best.
  • Chile rellenos at Mi Nidito.
  • Carne seca anything at El Charro (the original one downtown).
  • Horchata (okay, it's a beverage) at Pico de Gallo.
  • Margaritas at Mosaic Cafe.
  • Lobster-corn whatchamacallits at Feast (whenever they're on the menu).
  • Nabeyaki udon and curry rice at Sachiko (original Wilmot and Speedway location).
  • Bruschetta and mozarella/tomato salad at Vivace.
