Michael, Cafe Terra Cotta is good. Also, El Charro in the old town in downtown Tucson is interesting. The best place to go, but I can't remember the name of the street, is a street that is lined with authentic Mexican joints. Most of them are pretty dumpy and I was the only gringo in some of the places but the food is great. If you ask around I'm sure someone can point you there. Also, be sure to take a drive through the National Park to see the Saguaros. Around sunrise it is fantastically beautiful. I had a 9:00 AM flight out of Tucson on a trip there so I got up at 5:00 and drove up there before I headed to the airport. There was no one else around. I parked the car and hiked a little ways up a trail. You could hear birds and animals calling to one another for miles in the distance. A great experience.
