Four southern Arizona restaurants made a new Yelp list released Thursday, and bragging rights span the entire U.S. Southwest.
With top eateries heavily concentrated in the Las Vegas, Phoenix and Denver metro areas, it was a Tucson restaurantTumericothat landed in the number one overall spot.
The list, according to Yelp, is an “all-time” ranking and takes into account the total volume and ratings of reviews of restaurants since the website’s launch in 2004.
In addition to Tumerico, which has two locations in Tucson, two other Tucson restaurants and one in Benson made the list:
#1 – Tumerico | 2526 E. 6th St. & 402 E. 4th St. #18 – Urban Fresh | 73 E. Pennington St. #28 – Barista del Barrio| 1002 N. Grande Ave. #68 – Mi Casa Restaurant | 723 W. 4th St., Benson
Chef Wendy Garcia, who crafted Tumerico’s vegan and vegetarian menu, is a James Beard finalist this year and also had the opportunity to showcase her food at this year’s Super Bowl Flavortown Tailgate.
