Todd Martin, owner of Tucson Tamale, makes a new friend. A PokeGym is on the back patio.

All of that walking around, hunting Pokemon is sure to make you hungry.

Well, you don’t have to stop playing.

Some of Tucson’s favorite restaurants are also PokeStops and PokeGyms, giving Pokemon Go players a chance to refuel their bellies while restocking supplies and joining teams.

1. Tucson Tamale,

2545 E. Broadway

The mural on the back patio, painted by Mel Dominguez, is a PokeGym, which is currently controlled by Team Mystic. There’s also a PokeStop here. All Tucson Tamale locations are offering Pokemon Go players $1 off their orders.

2. Wildflower,

7037 N. Oracle Road

There’s a PokeStop on the patio. Restock on PokeBalls while feasting on the restaurant’s American cuisine and a bottle of wine.

3. Tucson Hop Shop,

3230 N. Dodge Blvd.

OK, not a restaurant. But hello, craft beer. Cool off with a pint and snack on artisan popcorn and pretzels while checking out the two PokeStops that are here. If you stop by on the weekend, you can dine on food truck eats.

4. La Encantada,

2905 E. Skyline Drive

There’s a PokeStop next to Frost, which is across from North Italia and Ra Sushi.
