Great Time For the Whole Family - We loved the new 2-hour Sonoran Food Tour in Tucson! It was the perfect length not too long, so my daughter stayed engaged the whole time. Every stop was delicious, but the carne asada tacos at Sonora Moonshine were definitely our favorite. A fun, tasty way to experience Tucson’s food scene. Highly recommend!

Best food Tour!!! - 10/10 recommend. I recently did the Sonoran Style Tour and loved every part of it. Our guide, Karen, was incredibly knowledgeable and thoughtful — I really appreciated how she shared background and history before each stop. It made every bite feel more meaningful and connected to Tucson’s culture. We started with a carne asada taco at Sonora Moonshine and wow — the taco was literally the size of the side of my head. Packed with meat, and the chile and cheese cooked into the bottom of the tortilla made it extra flavorful and so delicious. Next was a Sonoran hot dog from Antojitos, topped with this little jalapeño sauce that completely took it to the next level. So good. We also tried fresh blue corn empanadas from Chela’s — you could truly taste how fresh the blue corn was, simple and delicious. We finished with raspados, and I went with tamarindo — refreshing, tangy, and the perfect way to end the tour. If you’re visiting Tucson or even a local wanting to experience Sonoran food through history and community, this tour is absolutely worth it. 🌵💛
