Best Gluten Free Restaurants in South Tucson

This was our second visit to Tito and Pep. It was our anniversary and we wanted to enjoy a special dinner at a place we normally don't travel to since we live on the other side of Tucson. We first visited Tito and Pep for our son's birthday and had a wonderful memory of that experience. This visit did not disappoint! Even with a 5:30 reservation, the place was quite busy when we walked in. We were greeted promptly and congratulated on our anniversary (a nice touch). We were taken to a nice corner two top which gave us a great view of the entire restaurant. The only issue with this table was it's location directly under an AC vent. Our server was very friendly and professional greeting us warmly. Cocktails and wine ( surprised to see a Portuguese wine on the menu which is not common in Tucson) were great. We ordered one of the special appetizers - a wonderfully prepared yellow tail in a citrus broth surrounded by thinly shaved cucumber, radish and a hint of jalapeno. It was refreshing delicious. We also shared the octopus appetizer, as we did on our last visit. T&P does octopus really well as it is easy to overcook it rendering it tough to chew. Our entrees were excellent! My wife had the Salmon and I had the mesquite grilled pork chop served with sweet potato . Both dishes were excellent. We were looking forward to this night and T&P did not disappoint. This is a very popular place as evidenced by the crowd on a Monday night. Definitely worth a visit. The only negative I have is that the parking situation can be challenging given the location on Speedway which is a very busy and densely packed road. T&P is a Tucson standout and deserves to be supported by the community.

I recommend reservations if you are going for Sunday Brunch. Today was our second Sunday trying their brunch menu. Last week my husband had the Tamale pie which he totally devoured! I had the folded eggs with ham and hash browns all excellent. Today we both had the Nook special. Choice of 2 eggs, 2 strips of bacon and 2 griddle cakes with syrup. Other than my scrambled eggs needed to be cooked a tad longer it was all excellent. Next week I am deciding between the Honey Chipotle Eggs Benedict and the Banana Griddle cakes with side of their awesome thick bacon. Will report next Sunday!

Decided to try the Saturday brunch and it was a great decision. I had a hard time picking as all the menu items sounded delicious so tried the sampler. Loved everything!! Highly recommend

We enjoyed the food, French dip sandwich and the rotisserie chicken, but the service is what brings us back. Our server Brooke is outstanding and the other staff are really warm and friendly. Great place to spend your evening.

Mezquite Grill has expanded their menu with great items and service has continually improved since opening. They can now handle being busier during the busy winter season downtown. They have a great cocktail menu as well.
