50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Tucson

“First, let me say that these wonderful people (Marlee, Christi, Tara, and the Tucson crew) went above and beyond to help me set up a surprise anniversary meal for my wife. That is just who they are. However, the reason that YOU should go to Sweet Tomatoes is that it IS Sweet Tomatoes. As others have mentioned, we have missed this restaurant since it shut down a few years ago. This Tucson location (the only one currently open in the USA) is perfectly representative of the Sweet Tomatoes that we love and remember. The food is so fresh and delicious. We had such old favorites like Tuna Tarragon and Caesar Asiago Salad. The soups and pasta dishes were outstanding. We especially enjoyed the Roasted Ratatouille Soup and the Coconut Muffins. The atmosphere was excellent as the dining area and serving lines were laid out in the same way as they were back in the day. The staff here are so professional, helpful and friendly. They are the best. If you loved Sweet Tomatoes before, you will be delighted with this Tucson location. Let's hope that they will be opening up in more areas of the USA soon.“

“Paula was a fantastic server. She got our order right and smiled often when speaking to my sister and myself. I was a little disappointed that you do not serve tortilla soup the flan made up the difference. The experience was great. Thanks Paula. The manager came by our table too!“

“First saw Tumerico on Triple D. Visiting Tucson in March…family tried it out…we beeping loved it. I am almost exclusively a carnivore, but I’d eat at Tumerico’s twice a week if I lived here. Absolutely delicious!“

“Delicious food, cozy atmosphere friendly staff! Highly recommend!!“

“Service excellent, food inventive, delicious. Dark slick tile floors, unmarked change from floor to a step…there must be a bright reflective tape or paint for more than one site in the restaurant. I was injured falling having not seen nor felt the one step. Management was most solicitous and paid our bill. We would never have asked for this and were surprised and grateful.“

“Absolutely the best breakfast and lunch restaurant in downtown Tucson. Not only is the food exceptional you couldn't ask for better service. They make you feel like family almost immediately“

“It’s a vibe and amazing food best burgers“

“Holy Moly, this is now my number one favorite restaurant in Tucson. I’ve never had such consistently delicious and perfectly cooked food in my life! My family and I went, shared an order of the blueberry lemon pancakes, and each had our own meal. Each and every item we ordered was absolutely phenomenal. And the portions are huge!!!! Thank you so much, Baja Cafe, for turning out scrumptious food!!!!!“

“First time ever going and I absolutely loved the atmosphere and everyone was so friendly. Definitely recommend this place. Reminds me of a place my great grandpa would take us to when I was little.“

“Fabulous authentic Greek food…… just like my husbands Yia Yia used to make! You’ve got to try out this place. The pastichio was the best I have had in years!“

“First thing I say when we walk in, "OMG this place smells AMAZING!!", and tasted even better! Best falafel and gyro I've ever had!! I like that the falafel is patties instead of balls like most places. It was cooked perfectly..crispy crunchy on the outside, soft and almost cake-like on the inside. You get 4 cakes to the order plus pita bread, cucumbers and tomatoes. The gyro is HUGE!! I couldn't even pick it up to try and eat it until I ate some of the meat out of it, which btw, is flavored so beautifully that you don't really need the tzatziki sauce but definitely worth putting on bc the flavors of both go together so well! I HIGHLY recommend going to Istanbul if you want outstanding Mediterranean food in a good atmosphere! This place definitely get 👍👍 from this food enthusiast!!“

“Great food! Will be going back!“

“Wonderful experience for our dinner tonight,and our waiter Santi was great. Manager Monica was on it with our rewards and looking up our information.This will be our new location for Dennys“

“I think it was a spicy Jim I had and the tomato burrata salad. I had water. Both were very good. Definitely eat this again and probably will soon.

Others each had pizza and a couple beverages.

Service was good.

Atmosphere was what is to be expected on a Friday night with playoffs on TV. Crowded and loud.

The place is nice.

It is not an inexpensive experience so be prepared. Easily in the $40.00+ per adult.

Childs spaghetti was very good also.“

“I wasn't expecting to love this as much as I did. We tried the margherita and the verde pizzas and both were absolutely incredible. I'd highly recommend the combination of the two. The margherita was up there with pizzas I've tried in Napoli, which is saying something. The verde pizza was perfectly fresh, creamy, and tangy (not smokey). We also tried two of their seasonal appetizers and desserts, which were great. The interior and service were both excellent as well. This is a new go-to spot for me.“

“While I only lived in Tucson for 6 months, I heard of so many great places. This place, was one of the best. 2nd to El Guerro Canello.. It's great for Tucson, I'll definitely be back there when I'm in Tucson. If you're in Phoenix, look up Comedor Guadalajara, no affiliation to Guadalajara Original Grill. .“

“Great food and the people are wonderful!“

“if you go for the prime rib dinner make sure you get there early. they don't start serving till 5:00 but there was a lot of people there and they ran out“

“Our regular spot for a great breakfast.“

“Delicias has turned out to be our favorite place to go to eat since moving to the area. There are lunch and dinner specials which are great. They serve large portions and the food is tasty. The bean dip served when you sit at the table is excellent. Delicias has the best margaritas we have ever tasted, including in Mexico. The staff is warm and friendly.“

“Everything on the menu was fantastic! Even better than the photos. The staff was super friendly. Prices were very good. We came here when Blue Willow was an hour wait, and I actually liked the food here better! I had Chimichurri steak and eggs and a fancy fresh juice drink.“

“From out of town and stopped here based on the wonderful reviews! Couldn’t have bee happier! Owner was personable and highly involved in the care of quality food and the needs of the customers! Will stop here again!“

“Nice atmosphere, I was visiting from out of town, bartenders were very attentive and friendly“

“delicious food, delightful, happening atmosphere and great gluten free options!“

“The service at Zayna is always so quick and friendly, the food is delicious. Highly recommend, one of our favorite places in Tucson💜“

“Kiss of Smoke catered our Awards Banquet last night and everyone raved about the food! Many came back for seconds and thirds! Looking forward to visiting the restaurant to try all the other items on the menu too. Thank you for a 5 star experience from start to finish!“

“My family and I have been wanting to try Egusi and Fufu for a while. We had no idea what to expect and we ended up being blown away. The Egusi was incredibly flavored. We couldn't put our fingers on the flavors but it smelt and tasted very much like an Italian Mariana. Eating the Fufu with the Egusi is a must! It brings both foods to a different level. It's definitely a comfort food. We also purchased goat soup, chicken, salad and plantains. The goat was tender and gamey. The chicken was grilled, tender and had flavors that I couldn't decipher. It was flavors that we had never tasted before but we all agreed that it was amazing. The salad was easy, light and tasty. The plantains were out of this world! The best plantains that I've EVER tasted. The restaurant is a small "hole in a wall". It's also the CLEANEST hole in a wall that we'd ever visited. It's decorated with West African art, furniture and instruments. The entire restaurant, from the food, decor and amazing customer service makes this is a MUST try. We'll definitely be back. Thank you, Alafia, for a great dinning experience!“

“Great food at a great price!“

“Our favorite! So many great dishes... it’s hard to decide every time!“

“Food and service is great. Can get loud near the front of the restaurant. Of you want a quieter experience ask for a table away from the front. The front is where take our pickups are and there is a slightly annoying to annoying beep sequence when the front door is opened...depending on your tolerance.
Incredible gluten free options, GF pizza crust and baguettes are from gourmet girls 5/5 stars for taste!
Zucchini noodle dish is the bomb! GF meatballs too!!“

“Great food and creative drinks“

“The service was very good and the food the same. My family had an awesome time. Thx so much.“

“I really did enjoy your southwest grilled chicken wraps and your French fries. My aunt, my uncle,my grandma and I both enjoyed it. it was our first time trying out your restaurant.“

“I will say that I always enjoy the delicious food and the great customer service. The prices are by far the cheapest in town and they offer entertainment at the dinner and the gaslight theater shows are a must see. With that said, yes there are some 1 stars on here, but all the 5 stars truly reflect what their business is all about. I highly recommend this diner for date night or a family night out. Experience it yourself. You will glad you did.“

“Great Local Restaurant Shop Local, Support Local!!!“

“great staff great food and lovely views Thank you I definitely will recommend and return“

“Best birria in town! Also the tortillas are probably the best thing I’ve ever eaten!!“
