  2. Rank 5062. Southeast Impression

    Southeast Asian

    A strip mall in Fairfax with walls of actual greenery sets the scene for this casual Southeast Asian restaurant covering Thai, Malaysian, and Singaporean ground with real range. Chili crab comes with soft-shells in a red sauce and sweet buns for mopping, and a fried rice pyramid topped with lump crab closes the loop nicely. The pandan castella cake keeps dessert from being an afterthought.

  11. Picnic tables under string lights, bocce ball on the lawn, and the Santa Catalinas sitting out there like they're part of the decor. This is a casual, all-outdoor spot inside a native botanical garden, the kind of place where kids vanish into a gemstone dig pit and adults happily let them. The menu leans comfort food, with scoop fries and Irish nachos doing the heavy lifting.

  13. Rank 5062. The Monica

    Mexican

    String lights turn a downtown alley into a courtyard, and that outdoor patio is reason enough to seek this place out on a warm Tucson evening. The Monica is a casual Mexican restaurant where the kitchen plays with familiar forms, running tamale dough through a eggs Benedict riff that shouldn't work as well as it does. The room reads urban but unfussy, the kind of spot that pulls in a mixed downtown crowd without trying too hard.

  18. Rank 5062. Truong Tien

    Vietnamese

    Tucked deep inside the Eden Center mall, this Vietnamese restaurant operates on the assumption that you came ready to work for it. The staff speaks limited English and menu descriptions don't give much away, but the rice-cake and tapioca-dumpling appetizers, some banana-leaf-wrapped, some chicharrón-crusted with tiny shell-on shrimp, make the ordering process forgiving. The spicy lemongrass noodle soup with rustic meatballs in a rich beef broth is what regulars are usually after.

  24. The tables closest to the bridge put you near enough to hear the river running over the dam, which sets the mood before the food even arrives. This is an upscale farm-to-table restaurant on the Finley Farms property, where some of what ends up on your plate was grown out back. The seasonal menu leans into that, and the patio alone makes a strong case for lingering over one of their cocktails well past dinner.

  29. The mid-century room, with its bright orange window frames and striped banquettes, looks like someone raided a very good vintage furniture store and then had the taste to stop. Dan Kluger's West Village restaurant leans vegetable-forward without making a cause of it, and the wood-oven pizzas made with house-milled whole wheat flour keep tables ordering rounds they didn't plan on. A downtown crowd that takes its produce seriously fills the place most nights.

  38. A gas station kitchen in West Campus that somehow renders the question "what do you want to eat?" basically unanswerable, because the menu covers Mexican food, deli sandwiches, breakfast, hot dogs, and burgers without flinching. The burritos are massive, the tacos come street-style, and the sandwiches run Boar's Head meats on sourdough with house chipotle mayo. A reliable feed before, after, or instead of whatever else you had planned.





  39. A cookie cart parked at the Webberville Food Truck Park, where the rotating drops mean the selection changes often enough to justify returning before you've digested your lunch. The chocolate chip comes with sea salt, the Hot Honey Cornbread brings a little heat, and previous runs have included a Fruity Pebble Cheesecake Cookie that people still talk about with an air of grief. One cookie is technically shareable. Most people leave with several.

  42. Rank 5263. Coquito

    Caribbean

    The little neon sign out front is easy to miss, but the Kelly green interior and relic-inspired decor make up for it fast. Coquito is a Latin fusion cafe on East Seventh that runs a day-to-night double life: cold brew spiked with coquito and tortas by afternoon, DJs and a packed dance floor after dark. The name comes from Puerto Rico's traditional Christmas drink, which tells you something about the warmth of the place in general.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
