Jeffrey's Guidebook for Tucson! Restaurants and Things to Do!
Mexican food
Seis Kitchen has amazing Mexican food in a hacienda like setting! It’s an amazing place to sit down at as they have other shops in the plaza such as coffee shops, ice cream, and a bakery. I love their cocochinita pibil quesadillas they are to die for! They also have amazing breaded fish tacos! They have another location on the north side that is indoor and they serve alcohol at that location. Their prickly pear margarita are a Tucson must have!
It’s the perfect place to sit outside and have amazing Mexican food. It’s in a hacienda style setting plaza which is great to get all the Tucson feels! There’s also a coffee shop, bakery, ice cream shop, and more.

Food scene
Can’t decide on what to eat? Or do you have someone in your group that is saying they want tacos and someone is saying they want pizza? This place has it all! It’s a revamped and fun food court type setting and it’s kid friendly. It’s an 8-1 food court! On one side of the building there’s tacos, Greek food, Italian food, pops chicken, quesabirria (my favorite), BBQ food, Mexican seafood, ice cream, and a coffee shop. On the other side is a bar for you to try some awesome margaritas. Try the mangonada white claw cocktail that they do. It’s awesome as you get a number and they bring the food to you!

One of my favorite meals is from this location. Try the chicken tikka masala, I get it at the medium spice level and it is to die for! Especially with getting some garlic naan bread to dip it in. They are also on DoorDash and one of Tucson’s highest rated restaurants on DoorDash. If you haven’t tried Indian food before get ready for all the best flavors!
