Never disappoints - Edit
We've eaten at Tumerico about a dozen times (who's counting?), and have never had a meal we didn't like. The servings are very generous, and I always have to take some home. They have recently expanded their dining area after taking over the space next door, and on a Sunday afternoon, it's still almost full of happy people busy scarfing down the delicious eats. Super friendly staff, and casual, comfortable atmosphere. Today they offered a dish I hadn't seen before - the Diego Rivera enchiladas covered in mole sauce. (There's always something new and/or surprising on the menu.) The sauce was superb. Just can't rave enough about this restaurant. I consider it the best of breed for Tucson (maybe the entire west!).

Definitely pick this place to eat at😄 - Edit
Favorite authentic Mexican food spot in Arizona! Con sazón! Every dish is on point, my favorite are the Al pastor tacos (can be spicy but it’s a good spicy). Super filling because your dish comes with beans, rice, salad, pico de gallo, tortillas.
Read morePros: Big portions , Good price , Super popular spot

Delicious, fresh food - Edit
I come here whenever I'm in Tucson. There are so many choices, and everything is vegetarian or vegan. The service is great and the food is always good. Yesterday I had the Chilaquiles and now I'm obsessed. I seriously can't wait to go back to Tucson!

Delicious & beautiful food!! - Edit
I ordered the Cuban tacos and loved everything!! It came with two tacos and lots of sides: pico, beans, rice, and spinach salad. The hibiscus tea was also so refreshing. The cashew cream was my FAVORITE part - definitely a dish that includes it!

My Favorite Tucson Restaurant - Edit
I LOVE all of the jackfruit options I have tried. I don't recall the names of all of them. But, I have definitely had the Al Pastor tacos and the Cuban tacos. The food all tastes so very fresh and the folks there are very kind and helpful.
Read moreThe nopolitas dishes are amazing, so is the Ropa Vieja. This is one of my favorite restaurants. Friends who I've brought here have said that it is their favorite as well.

Yes. - Edit
Yes. Everything I have had here has been ~tops~. I brought a new vegan and he said the jackfruit 'tricked my brain'. The most recent time we had tamales, chilaquiles, and a breakfast platter. You know you have a really good meal when everyone is too focused on eating to talk anymore. We were having such a great day and then we got here and it was total silence for a few minutes as we dug into the sharing plates.

Best in AZ!! - Edit
My wife and I had to eat here twice it was soooooo good. Everything is so fresh and comes with sides of salad, rice, beans and fermented veggies good for your gut health! The huitlacoche tostadas (Frida Kahlo on the menu) and the breakfast tamale stand out the most. The ropa viejas was also incredible and I’m not usually a fan of jackfruit but they did it the best I’ve had. Would eat here all the time if I were a local. Also loved the Tumeric Lemonade. As a final piece, the staff were all so kind and friendly and genuinely interested in us and our experience. Love love love this place.

Wow! A must inTucson. - Edit
We were brought here by our friend who said that non-veg folks consistently love this place, in addition to vegans and vegetarians. The food was amazing and the portions were large. Our to-go order was quick! It was a splurge price-wise for us but so glad that we went there. Thank you!

Fresh and authentic - Edit
Visiting family in Tucson so we picked this place for lunch based on the reviews. The 4 of us tried the Cuban tacos, tamale plate, chili relleno (with cheese) and 2 more entrees that escape my memory. Everyone loved the food! We also all had drinks - chai tea latte, lavender latte, and 2 others. Not the best tasting but not bad. This place doesn’t give you free chips and salsa while you wait which was a bummer, so we had to order some as well as pico and guac. The chips are homemade puffed fried pieces served hot. Very interesting. I didn’t like them at first as they were a little tough and chewy. But after you get into them they kinda grow on you. So after 5 entrees, 4 drinks, 2 orders of chips with pico and guac, tax and tip, the total was $160. Not a place I’d go to regularly due to the cost but it was a nice splurge. Great service and friendly workers.

Truly my favorite restaurant - Edit
I’ve been to Tumerico many times and every visit it blows me away. The food is traditional and all whole food plant based. Their menu is a on a chalkboard but typically stays pretty similar. I usually get their ropa vieja plate without tortillas. This time I got the plate but only with the Cuban jackfruit so I removed the mushrooms and peppers. (The jackfruit here is truly the best I’ve ever had.) Whatever you get, you have to get it with “all powers”. It makes the meal. You won’t go wrong with anything on the menu here. Truly a gem and I wish we had one in Phoenix.

This place is so damn good, oat horchata latte and cookie was great. Pazole might have been my favorite though, broth was sooo good. Breakfast burrito really awesome as well and super large portion. My wife got tamales which were also outstanding. Service was great and super friendly as well. Ate way to much but loved it!

OBSESSED - Edit
We ordered the Tumerico Burrito - al pastor (Vegan) and the red tamale and the al pastor tacos. The al pastor is the perfect combination of spice and flavor. Turmeric carnitas. I’m from the south and this is the first dish so far that hits all the spices in the right places like I’m used to in Louisiana. I definitely definitely recommend the Al Pastor Burrito. I loved every bite. I’m not really big into tamales so I probably wouldn’t order that again but…. DEFINITELY LOVE THIS AUTHENTIC MEXICAN CUISINE! And I love that the majority of the menu is vegan. Definitely will be coming back.
Read more*went back* GOT THE ROPA PLATE. BEST. THING. ON. MENU. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND! Only at the 6th ave location I think. The Cuban taco was pretty basic. Was expecting more since it’s a popular dish. However the al pastor and the ROPA have WAYYYY more flavor. So if you’re looking for something super authentic and flavorful I would recommend those.

Great local place that has incredible tasting vegan options. We stumbled upon it last year when we dropped off our son at UofA and we all enjoyed our lunches (even as omnivores at the time)! Check them out!
