Restaurants in Arivaca

“La Gitana was partly responsible for our current move to Arivaca! As you've probably read, it's been around for 80 plus years… and continues to get rave reviews for its food, service, and warm, inviting atmosphere. The few times we visited, the bartenders were college students or recent grads, who enjoyed the laid-back atmosphere and friendly town folks in Arivaca. The cook was a charming young woman who grew up in Arivaca, moved to the big city (Tucson) for a while, but was drawn back by the unique sense of community and sunny spirit that you'll find in Arivaca. Besides a dance hall and saloon, at various times the building has been used for a church, a courtroom, a store, a hay barn, and a restaurant. La Gitana has been used as a setting in a novel, and visited by folks from all over the world, many by word of mouth, and others, like us, who just wandered in and fell in love! They frequently have live music out on the patio, so we’re looking forward to meeting our neighbors and enjoying good food, good music and good company!”
