If you’re a foodie visiting Tucson, the @secretfoodtours Tucson experience is truly worth it. 🌮✨ We had Ellie as our guide and she made the city’s flavors come alive, blending Native, Mexican, Sonoran, and Old Pueblo influences into stories that made every bite even better.

If your budget allows, I recommend booking a personal tour for the most immersive experience (unless you love the group vibe!). But even on your own, you can follow the flavor trail:
🌭 @rolliestucson for a classic Sonoran Hot Dog
🫖 @scentedleaf for tea
🍕 @empirepizzatucson for the Elote Pizza
🌽 @themonicatucson for a tamale
🍧 @raspaderiaelsahuaro_ for a refreshing raspado

Just skip Sundays too many spots close, and you’ll miss some must-try stops!
