St. Maryβs Mexican Food
Location:Β 1030 W. St. Maryβs Road
St. MaryβsΒ is the first place I take friends visiting from out of town to introduce them to Tucson. Standing in line in their lobby, waiting patiently to order anything that uses their standout tortillas and, always, a horchata, is a rite of passage.
Rollies Mexican Patio
Location:Β 4573 S. 12th Ave.
Everything at Rollies is delicious (including its eponymous rolled tacos, dipped in queso⦠yum), but their flat enchiladas, doused in their award-winning birria, are life-changing. Their quesabirria tacos, called birria rojo cheesies, are also not to be missed.
