Limited, but delicious menu. The BEST fish tacos IN THE WORLD! No joke. The best. He says it's the fish, but I say it is the tortilla, fresco cheese, and...something else (it's not hard to find fish tacos with good fish, but most put them on mediocre tortillas). Soooooo good. BYOB.

Sightseeing
I love this art museum because it has the best permanent selection of art in Tucson. It's not pretentious. It's quiet. And it's at the UofA, delightful to walk to and be inspired by young brilliance.
