Terra Cotta is terrific.  If you want to go for bigger bucks, try Janos. My favorite Tuscon restaurant however, is Bocata, upscale Italian.  It's in a shopping center at River Road (I think) & Greysomething or other. We've never been disappointed there.  Another good one is the Presidio Grill.  Enjoy.

Bocata is in the shopping center at River Road & CRAYCROFT.  Another restaurant getting raves is called The Kingfisher, on Grant Road.  There are a lot of good food choices here. Jim Bird

The terra cotta cafe is great.  Get the garlic custard!  IT's a great appetizer, if you like garlic that is :-).

My favorite place in Tucson is La Parilla Suisa (sp?).  I haven't been in Tucson for about a year, but I have a several friends there who tell me this restaurant is still there and still good.  It's inexpensive and has great food.  Sonoran and Mexico City style cooking I believe, though I'm not an expert on Mexican cooking.

Enjoy,

If $$ is no issue, the Tack Room or at the Ventana Resort.
