Agave

1100 W. Pima Mine Road., Desert Diamond Casino South Tucson

Southwest, Menu

Off Interstate 19 on the way to Green Valley, Agave is a gem in the desert, well worth the drive.

Agustin Kitchen

100 S. Avenida del Convento, Suite 150. West side

398-5382

Upper Crust, Menu

We dined on items that were among the best of that sort of dish we'd ever eaten, whether the deeply flavorful "gunslinger red and lime" crispy calamari from the appetizer menu or the main dishes including the braised lamb shank, the sous vide hangar steak and the diver scallop and pork belly. The desserts were also stellar, in particular the pistachio gelato. The drinks were also uniformly delicious. (3-20-14)

Barrio Brewing Company

800 E. 16th St. Central

791-2739

Brew Pubs, Best Of, Menu

This brewery, operated by the same folks who own Gentle Ben’s, is a down-home kind of joint. There are usually about 10 beers on tap, all of which are brewed right in the building. The food is pub fare done well, often using one of the house-made ales in the preparation. While burgers are the highlights, the other sandwiches are tasty and complement the beers. The service is friendly, as to be expected. (3-6-08)

BK's

5118 S. 12th Ave. South Tucson

295-0105

Mexican, Best Of, Menu

Also at 2680 N. First Ave. (207-2245). Nothing fancy, nothing grand, just a boatload of some of the best carne asada you're ever likely to sample. A scrumptious salsa bar with lots of goodies to complement your tacos, quesadillas or caramelos (quesadillas with carne asada) is a delightful bonus, and the Sonoran hot dogs put the usual ballpark fare to shame.

Blue Willow

2616 N. Campbell Ave. Central

327-7577

Americana, Best Of, Menu

Blue Willow has been one of Tucson’s favorite breakfast spots for decades, and it lives up to the hype. Delicious, filling breakfast food is perfect for a causal weekend meal with the family or for a morning-after cure-all. The oasis-like patio makes outdoor dining even better than usual in Tucson’s mild months. Despite being known for breakfast, Blue Willow also serves up a tasty lunch and dinner. Get there early for breakfast or prepare to wait (although the awesome gift shop makes the wait much less painful). (5-2-13)
