Amazing cheeseburgers and fries. Nothing frozen and everything is made from scratch. You can see them slicing those fresh potatoes. When in doubt, go with a double double. If you're from the East Coast, this is your chance as you can only find them on the American Southwest and the Pacific coast.

A classic in Tucson. The birthplace of the Chimichanga! A bit pricey and sometimes long waits. But it is a must if you have to pick one place to have dinner. Afterwards you can walk around the Barrio viejo and see a few of the old Tucson houses with colorful doors.
