Below is from a review:
How do we love thee? Let us count the ways: ranchero tacos stuffed with veggies and jackfruit, Frida Kahlo tostadas and cilantro pesto sopes (topped tortillas), coconut curry bowls, kombucha on tap and CBD lattes. The mysterious 'all powers' that accompanies each order includes soup, salsa, rice, beans, veggies and coffee. The bright orange turmeric shots, however, are extra.

Places that make Tucson, Arizona famous
These are places that are special and unique to Tucson.
Your listing host's alma mater. The University of Arizona is the top state school in Arizona. People from ASU may not realize this. Those visiting Tucson should tour the campus. There is a VERY LARGE student union with many trendy shops and restaurants within. For those looking to experience the U of A spirit I recommend the more traditional restaurants and shops lining the perimeter of the campus.
