South side experience with authentic Southern Arizona cuisine. For something unique, try the Nopales enchiladas, the slightly tangy fruit of the prickly pear cactus. If you're feeling extra hungry, try the Presidential special, served to Bill Clinton when he visited Tucson.

Grab-n-go Eats

Native Tucson sandwich chain but everyone goes for the slushies (better known as "eegee's") made with fresh fruit - try lemon, strawberry, Pina colada, and the flavor of the month. Many locations around town.

South-of-the-border version of Eegee's. They have some traditional slushie flavors like strawberry, but we recommend trying flavors like tamarindo (tamarind, recommended "con leche" with condensed milk) and chamoy (spicy and icy!).
