50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Tucson

“First, let me say that these wonderful people (Marlee, Christi, Tara, and the Tucson crew) went above and beyond to help me set up a surprise anniversary meal for my wife. That is just who they are. However, the reason that YOU should go to Sweet Tomatoes is that it IS Sweet Tomatoes. As others have mentioned, we have missed this restaurant since it shut down a few years ago. This Tucson location (the only one currently open in the USA) is perfectly representative of the Sweet Tomatoes that we love and remember. The food is so fresh and delicious. We had such old favorites like Tuna Tarragon and Caesar Asiago Salad. The soups and pasta dishes were outstanding. We especially enjoyed the Roasted Ratatouille Soup and the Coconut Muffins. The atmosphere was excellent as the dining area and serving lines were laid out in the same way as they were back in the day. The staff here are so professional, helpful and friendly. They are the best. If you loved Sweet Tomatoes before, you will be delighted with this Tucson location. Let's hope that they will be opening up in more areas of the USA soon.“

“Pretty place. We were there for the buffet. The food was OK but not great. Setting is beautiful.“

“Great food and atmosphere. It’s great to go somewhere local and get a taste of Louisiana! It’s been a long time since I’ve had gumbo, and it didn’t disappoint. And the hush puppies were great and we ended up getting an extra order. I look forward to trying more of the menu!“

“Fantastic staff. Andy was amazing and attentive. The food was outstanding. I loved my flaming cheesecake!!“

“Service excellent, food inventive, delicious. Dark slick tile floors, unmarked change from floor to a step…there must be a bright reflective tape or paint for more than one site in the restaurant. I was injured falling having not seen nor felt the one step. Management was most solicitous and paid our bill. We would never have asked for this and were surprised and grateful.“

Thank you so much, Baja Cafe, for turning out scrumptious food!!!!!“

“One of my favorites definitely recommend“

“Great food and the people are wonderful!“

“First thing I say when we walk in, "OMG this place smells AMAZING!!", and tasted even better! Best falafel and gyro I've ever had!! I like that the falafel is patties instead of balls like most places. It was cooked perfectly..crispy crunchy on the outside, soft and almost cake-like on the inside. You get 4 cakes to the order plus pita bread, cucumbers and tomatoes. The gyro is HUGE!! I couldn't even pick it up to try and eat it until I ate some of the meat out of it, which btw, is flavored so beautifully that you don't really need the tzatziki sauce but definitely worth putting on bc the flavors of both go together so well! I HIGHLY recommend going to Istanbul if you want outstanding Mediterranean food in a good atmosphere! This place definitely get 👍👍 from this food enthusiast!!“

“Pizza perfection. Focaccia remarkable. Salads out of this world. My foodie expert friend says this is the best restaurant in Tucson. My first visit with him was epic so I'll have to ponder this accolade a bit before confirming.....still, I loved every order in our meal of 7 different items. Best: crispy focaccia with extra sausage.

No sign outside or in the window plays to the mysterious. Once you are inside, the peaceful atmosphere and scents from the giant wood pizza stove overwhelm. Have a beautiful meal and try as many menu items as possible. Anello is mighty fine.“

“Very clean, nice team at the counter. Love that there's Kool aid on tap! Veggie portions were really small, filled half the container. Guessing it's weighed but the impression is that you get a container, not half the container when you're paying for it.
Spice on the chicken is unique and yummy. Brisket is dense - not tender but not chewy - and the right amount of fat. Flavor is good.
Decent for taste but comes in under on value due to the sides.“

“This place gets it. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is effortlessly hip—modern, laid-back, and designed for people who actually want to sit, chill, and enjoy their pizza (no awkward standing tables or juggling slices here).

The pizza is next-level: perfectly blistered crust, high-quality toppings, and flavors that feel both creative and comforting. You can tell real thought went into every combo, not just what looks good on Instagram (though, yes, it absolutely does).

The drink menu is just as dialed in—well-crafted, refreshing, and clearly curated to pair with the food instead of distracting from it. Add in friendly, attentive service that never feels rushed, and you’ve got a spot that’s easy to settle into and hard to leave.
This is the kind of pizza place you recommend without hesitation—cool without trying too hard, cozy without being boring, and absolutely deserving of five stars. A huge Thank You to Jared and his team for bringing this spot to the Eastside of Tucson!!!“

“Excellent food. Try the mango ice.“

“Our regular spot for a great breakfast.“

“From out of town and stopped here based on the wonderful reviews! Couldn’t have bee happier! Owner was personable and highly involved in the care of quality food and the needs of the customers! Will stop here again!“

“Got take out white pizza and goat cheese walnut salad here and loved it! The salad dressing was so fresh and delightful and the combination of goat cheese, apples, and walnuts was perfect. The white pizza was super flavorful too! It had the perfect amount of ricotta cheese. Loved every bite!“

“Nice atmosphere, I was visiting from out of town, bartenders were very attentive and friendly“

“The service at Zayna is always so quick and friendly, the food is delicious. Highly recommend, one of our favorite places in Tucson💜“

“I really did enjoy your southwest grilled chicken wraps and your French fries. My aunt, my uncle,my grandma and I both enjoyed it. it was our first time trying out your restaurant.“

“The service was very good and the food the same. My family had an awesome time. Thx so much.“

“I will say that I always enjoy the delicious food and the great customer service. The prices are by far the cheapest in town and they offer entertainment at the dinner and the gaslight theater shows are a must see. With that said, yes there are some 1 stars on here, but all the 5 stars truly reflect what their business is all about. I highly recommend this diner for date night or a family night out. Experience it yourself. You will glad you did.“

“While I only lived in Tucson for 6 months, I heard of so many great places. This place, was one of the best. 2nd to El Guerro Canello.. It's great for Tucson, I'll definitely be back there when I'm in Tucson. If you're in Phoenix, look up Comedor Guadalajara, no affiliation to Guadalajara Original Grill. .“

“Very good food made by very sweet people. I’m so thankful for them and everything they do!“

“Best birria in town! Also the tortillas are probably the best thing I’ve ever eaten!!“

“Before I ever went to Bobo's, I thought I knew what a great pancake tasted like. I had been living a lie. Sorry Grandma. Eating at Bobo's is like seeing in color for the first time, or like seeing your soul mate from across the room. You just know you've experienced something that you never want to end. Can't wait to go again.“

“Wonderful experience for our dinner tonight,and our waiter Santi was great. Manager Monica was on it with our rewards and looking up our information.This will be our new location for Dennys“

“Easily my favorite restaurant in Tucson. Smoked kielbasa, mizeria, mushroom and sauerkraut pierogi, and horseradish with a cold Zywiec is the perfect meal. Hearty portions, cozy decor, friendly and knowledgeable servers, this place is a hidden gem!“

“Great Local Restaurant Shop Local, Support Local!!!“
