Local foods are just one of the great things about being in this Sonoran Desert town. Whether you are a tamale aficionado or looking for a cozy place with the smell of roasted coffee or freshly baked bread, local joints abound. The still-intact Barrio neighborhood, which dates back to the 19th century, has some of the hottest food spots and serves up Arizona's longest continuously brewed beer. Tucson is also a lively university town. If you're in the 4th Avenue area, you will find chic Mexican restaurants, patio dining, and even a food co-op with healthy buffets and vegetarian takeaways. If you're in town during the hot season, you will feel eternally grateful for the many places in every neighborhood to have a frozen fruit drink or gelato.
