Tucson attracts six million visitors every year. Whether they come for the sights or the sunshine—although most come for both—they'll find that this handy guide can help make their visit more enjoyable. Discovering Tucson covers all of the top tourist attractions that bring people to the Old Pueblo, from the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum and Old Tucson Studios to San Xavier Mission and the Biosphere 2 Center. It can also alert travel planners to make time for stops they may not have known about, such as the Pima Air and Space Museum or Colossal Cave. Tucson is one of only fourteen U.S. cities boasting resident symphony, theater, ballet, and opera companies, and Discovering Tucson guides readers to all of these—as well as to the city's most popular western clubs and nightspots. Outdoor enthusiasts will find where to ride a horse, take a hike, or putt their stuff on one of the city's championship golf courses. An additional section on day trips invites visitors to discover nearby ghost towns and natural wonders, or spend a day shopping across the Mexican border. More than a guide to attractions, Discovering Tucson also points out some of the best places to eat and stay—along with some of the most popular shopping stops, whether for Indian arts or cowboy boots. With so much to see and do, it's no wonder so many people come to Tucson—and there's no question this book will help them plan and enjoy their visit all the more.

Tucson prides itself on being the Mexican Food Capital of America—and it's no wonder, with more than 150 restaurants to choose from. This book is a celebration of that culinary tradition, providing readers with not only a guide to outstanding eateries but also an intimate look at the heritage they represent. From the traditional restaurants of South Tucson to newer dining spots on the north and east sides, Tucson's Mexican Restaurants is an affectionate look at some of the best places to savor this wonderful cuisine. Suzanne Myal takes readers into the kitchens of many of these establishments to offer insights into the families that run them, the secrets of food preparation, and even the history of some of Tucson's best-loved recipes. Many of those recipes, along with others from prominent Mexican American families, are reproduced in the book, inviting readers to try their hand at red beef tamales, chiles rellenos, and other favorite dishes. The book is organized by six sections of town, with a locator map for each. The entry for each establishment includes address, hours, price range, and credit card information, and indicates the specialties of the house. Each entry is also coded for features such as level of alcohol service; availability of carryout, delivery, and catering; and whether the menu features heart-healthy or vegetarian options. A separate section lists Mexican bakeries and tortilla factories, and a guide to fiestas helps readers choose beer or tequila—and find menudo when they've overindulged. From street trucks to historic sites, Mexican restaurants in Tucson offer something for every palate. This book can help visitors and residents alike find their way around them and better enjoy some of the best Mexican food north of the border.
