“Converse works out a deal with McDonald’s and the end result is the new Premium McWrap!” In a parody reflected in true life, I imagine that the CEO of Converse Shoes is excited to finally find an outlet for the rubbery scraps of soles leftover from making the Converse low top. The end result, ironically,…
SoHo was SooooGood. I recommend you go! We stopped in for lunch at SoHo (Social House and Pub) and it was so good that we awarded them the coveted “If You Are Looking for a New Place to eat in Tucson, You Should Try This” Award. They feature brunch, lunch, and dinner menus. Lunch entrees…
Wilko 2 .5 out 5 for Wilko. We can’t recommend the food but we love the space and the bar of this Tucson restaurant. Nonetheless we actually hope they make it and stick around. After a couple of visits to Wilko, our feelings on it remain mixed. We will return for drinks because the bar,…
Pita Jungle It’s called tongs people! Guest reviewer LaBash, which is French for wa bam, gives Pita Jungle the coveted Zero out of Zero stars. Congrats Pita Jungle on the elite status. The only way to score a zero is to, as they say, “not get the food on the plate.” We rate them an…

Sir Veza’s Taco Garage. New location in close proximity to Tucson Mall. C- or 2 out of five stars Sir Veza’s is getting a lot of things correct. Cold beer! Lots of staff who are ready, willing and able to take care of you. The new decor blends Tucson chic with a down and dirty…
The Parish B++ 4 out of 5 Addictive, surprising, authentic, new yet familiar, and deliciously seedy like a New Orleans back street bar and restaurant should be. The chef blends flavors that playfully trick their way onto your palate. Is this Tucson/Southwest influenced by New Orleans or the other way around? Who cares when it’s…
