I'm not vegan but I certainly enjoyed this place. The food was flavorful and fresh. Do yourself a favor and don't pass on the drinks - Horchata and Agua de Jamaica were delightful. Free drip coffee for customers, too!

Delicious and so good to have vegan/veggie options in Tucson!! I wish I could have tried more different things on my visit. Order at the counter, lots of seating, although it was quite busy. Help-yourself coffee, water, and salsa bar is a nice touch. The carnitas taco was my favorite. Overall flavors were really well balanced. Frida tostada also pictured.

This restaurant is the best vegan Mexican food I have ever had. I loved that it wasn’t greasy and fried. We were welcomed immediately into the space and the menu was explained to us. I wish we could have this type of food in Minnesota! We ordered the nachos and tostadas. We also got the turmeric lemonade. It was delicious! When we got home I went onto the website and watched the interview about the chef and owner. It was so inspiring and beautiful. Congratulations on all of your hard work. It really shows!

My sister has been here a lot and put it on the itinerary for my first visit to Tucson. I LOVED the al pastor tacos (jackfruit and pineapple with a little kick), and I ate my entire chocolate flan with pecans, it was the perfect vegan treat!

Tumerico – Tucson’s Vegan Gem (5/5 Stars) Tumerico is hands-down my favorite restaurant in all of Tucson, and I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s a must-visit. Owner Wendy is incredibly warm and friendly, and her entire staff follows suit—always helpful, attentive, and eager to make your experience perfect. What sets Tumerico apart is its vegan menu that never feels limited. The daily-changing specials keep things exciting, featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients that burst with flavor. The in-house salsa bar is a highlight—each salsa is vibrant, perfectly balanced, and made with ingredients at their peak. The food is simply out-of-this-world delicious. Every dish is thoughtful, creative, and satisfying in a way that even non-vegans rave about. But it’s not just the food—Wendy has crafted an inviting, joyful atmosphere that makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. If you’re in Tucson, do yourself a favor and go to Tumerico. You’ll leave happy, full, and already planning your next visit.

For a vegan, I would say the food is 5 stars. For me, I am still trying to adapt to vegan tastes, texture, flavors, etc…therefore, its not there yet. The place is like home when you walk in. People here welcome you like you are one of their family, and it shows in the food, deco, restroom, food portion, etc…would be back again to try other food items.

Tumerico has earned the honor of being the #1 place to eat in the country. I was invited to eat here for an early lunch, where I ordered tacos that came with salad, rice and beans. Unfortunately, I forgot exactly which tacos I picked they were, but the cashier was nice enough to give me two different ones after I mentioned that I'm not a big fan of spicy food. That was a good choice, because the one with brown meat was my first choice and that was much spicer between the two. The green one, I devoured, loving its mild taste. I was happy that this Latin restaurant had options that sensitive diners like myself could enjoy. I was also gifted with complimentary appetizers, including chips with salsa & guac, along with a bowl of soup. I also tried their Tumerico lemonade that had a little kick of spice than a normal lemonade; I enjoyed it way more than I expected. It's the type of drink that taste better as you consume it, and I was tempted to buy another to take home. The dining area didn't feel cramped at all, and there was a station for more sauces we could put on our food. Of course, I didn't indulge, but the option was nice. There were two gender-neutral bathrooms, which is where I noticed that the walls were covered in paintings for sale. Throughout the restaurant, there were an array of local paintings that guests could pay for; my friends chose one off the wall and all they had to do was pay through Venmo and show the cashier that they were keeping the item before leaving. That's a great way to increase business and support artists in Tucson. I would definitely come here again for its delicious, authentic Latin cuisine, along with their excellent customer service.

OMG…Tumerico is beyond next level delicious I’m sure locals know this, but outta towners need to know it! The vibe top notch, the service and staff above and beyond! The lady behind the counter never stopped smiling or being cheerful! The food, whether you’re vegan or not is the best! The cleanest tasting and plentiful portioned food I’ve ever had! I can see why it’s in the US’s top 100 restaurants! From Virginia with love! I will be back!

Always AMAZINGA food here. From an omnivore perspective, this food does not taste vegan. Everything is so flavorful and delicious and the portions are pretty sizable. There's a base standard menu and then the daily rotating menu. I never get to the regular stuff because the daily rotating menu is always so interesting and fun to try! Highly recommend.

Although I am not a vegan or vegetarian, I loved this restaurant! The staff is very friendly and helpful in explaining the menu options, and the food is nothing short of delicious. Everything is fresh, very flavorful, and healthy. I had the coconut curry with a side of beans and rice--very flavorful. The burritos were also very good. Order at the counter and the food is promptly brought to your table, served hot and fresh. The servers stopped by often and offered to bring anything we needed. Our plates were cleared away as we finished. We were there on a Friday night and the restaurant had live music while we dined. I can see why this restaurant was rated #1 in the US. I highly recommend it for their large menu of healthy, flavorful dishes.
