Tucson Top Restaurants in 2010: Best Places to Eat

Best Places to Eat in Tucson

Tucson LifeStyle Magazine is one of the classiest and most well-read local publication in Tucson, and every year, they put together a list of reader's choice award winners.

Tucson may be small(ish), but we certainly have some of the BEST and most top-notch places to eat around here. You will find the best Mexican, most beautiful pan American, and pizza that could match what you'd find in Chicago or New York.

But of course, some of the best food around here is... steak. :)

If you want to see the entire list of winners, you can view them here. I've listed descriptions, directions, hours, and other pertinent information from the top 5, the Best of the Best below.
