I have two priorities, golf and food! For golf, it looks like these are the do-not-miss courses
- Loews Ventana Canyon Resort - 800-234-5117
- Starr Pass Country Club & Spa - 877-782-7727
- Hilton Tucson El Conquistador Golf Resort- 800-445-8667
Mew Mexico Food in Tucson
When choosing food, it’s important to distinguish between “New” Mexican food and “New Mexican” food:
- “New” Mexican food – Made-up crap like smoked duck quesilldias
- “New Mexican” food – Down-home New Mexico cooking, real Hatch Red and Green Chile, posole, Mexican/Indian/Gringo food
While I’m thrilled that you can now find Anitas (or Little Anitas) New Mexico Style Mexican Food coast-to-coast, from LA to DC, you cannot count on finding one in every city. They are like night and day, so I’d best do some research:
- Taquito Mio: 4951 E Grant Rd # 115: New Mexico Chile enchiladas a specialty – New Mexico enchiladas are a life-changing experience, and they are great with a fried egg on top
- Poco & Mom's Restaurant: 1060 S Kolb Rd: (520) 325-7044 - Serving Breakfast & Lunch Dinner, New Mexican Flat Enchiladas W/Fresh Red & Green Chili. Could this be some of the world’s best Huevos Rancheros I’ve been dreaming of?
- El Charro Café – The El Charro Café is a “New” Mexican grub chain, per dinner menu, and has some good reviews. DO NOT miss their legendary Carne Seca – Carne Seca is re-constipated meat. It’s first dried, ground up (or shredded) and then water is re-added. It’s sort of like beef jerky.
