We walked in and got a super friendly greeting while waiting in line to order. Are drinks came as soon as we were seated with the food following soon thereafter. It was all outstanding including a salsa from the salsa bar which was smoky and yummy, almost like the sauce that comes with dosa at South Indian restaurants

Everyone I've interacted with here's been super friendly and helpful! Can't wait for my next visit to Tucson to come back and try more things!! Can't recommend Turmerico enough!!

Best Food Yet! - Edit
With so many vegan options in Tucson, it was hard to decide where to go for dinner as we were passing through. But thankfully happycow.net, told us about Turmerico and it’s recent award! We are so glad we stopped for dinner here! Their house made carnitas, which were in several of their meal options, were so good. They make them in-house by smoking jackfruit and then spicing them up! We loved everything we tasted. 5 star review here!

This is the place for great food! My husband is a total omnivore but loves spicy food. He really enjoyed our lunch here as we passed through Tucson. I have numerous food “issues” but had a great meal! The food is creative and full of flavor!

Superb Mexican food. - Edit
We have loved the food at Tumerico long before it became a James Beard finalist. The menu is mostly vegan with a few options for non-vegans to have eggs or cheese. The food is unbelievably flavorful. Highly recommend!

A TOP spot in the U.S. - Edit
We came here simply because we found it to have decent sounding vegan options. We had no idea they were 2024’s #1 restaurant on Yelps Top 100 list, in the country! This place was BUMPING. And it lives up to the hype. Incredible food. Fun menu, helpful staff, and an amazingly fast, efficient, and smooth process and system that gives you a comfortable and fun experience despite how incredibly busy they are!

Incredible Menu - Edit
The hype on this place is real. Best vegan food I’ve had in my 8 years of veganism. The chilaquiles were an incredible breakfast choice. Went back for dinner and even though they had a long line the food was out shortly after we sat down.

Amazing local Mexican food - Edit
I have been a huge fan of Tumerico long before the well deserved James Beard hype. The food is vegan mostly (some options with eggs and cheese) and simply delicious. Enough said!

Best in Tucson - Edit
As far as I'm concerned this is the best vegan food in Tucson, and maybe Arizona altogether. The tamales are absolutely outstanding. So was the pastor burrito. This is the kind of place where it seems like a chef decided to make a vegan restaurant. I cannot wait to go back, and would happily drive 100 miles for this place, and probably will.

Lots of options - Edit
So many good options in this vegetarian restaurant. So glad that we tried it since we constantly kept thinking about going here when it was closed. The food is very good and the service is very fast. The restaurant ambience is not the best and certainly the parking can be challenging. Looking forward to trying the other location soon.

Creative and delicious! - Edit
Had lunch at Tumerico with friends and family when I was visiting Tucson. It's now on my short list of the BEST vegan-friendly restaurants in the Western States! I had a burrito with 'carnitas' and red chili which was delicious and satisfying. I loved that it came with a generous green salad as well as rice and beans to balance things out. It was a *real* salad made with mixed greens, not the shaved iceberg lettuce you see in many standard Mexican restaurants. I can't tolerate much onions or garlic and they were very flexible with almost all menu items which allowed me the rare opportunity to be overwhelmed with lots of great choices! I loved the use of jackfruit paired with a variety of delicious sauces. Because there were six of us in our group I had the opportunity to get samples of a number of menu items which were all excellent. I will definitely be eating at Tumerico whenever I'm in Tucson!

Best jackfruit ever - Edit
I always find jackfruit a bit meh, but they’ve found a way to perfect it. Sadly I’m genetically predisposed to hate cilantro which is a bit of a problem, but otherwise it’s delicious.
