The staff was great and kind and the food was good.

We walked in and got a super friendly greeting while waiting in line to order. Are drinks came as soon as we were seated with the food following soon thereafter. It was all outstanding including a salsa from the salsa bar which was smoky and yummy, almost like the sauce that comes with dosa at South Indian restaurants

Best Food Yet! - Edit
With so many vegan options in Tucson, it was hard to decide where to go for dinner as we were passing through. But thankfully happycow.net, told us about Turmerico and it’s recent award! We are so glad we stopped for dinner here! Their house made carnitas, which were in several of their meal options, were so good. They make them in-house by smoking jackfruit and then spicing them up! We loved everything we tasted. 5 star review here!

This is the place for great food! My husband is a total omnivore but loves spicy food. He really enjoyed our lunch here as we passed through Tucson. I have numerous food “issues” but had a great meal! The food is creative and full of flavor!

Superb Mexican food. - Edit
We have loved the food at Tumerico long before it became a James Beard finalist. The menu is mostly vegan with a few options for non-vegans to have eggs or cheese. The food is unbelievably flavorful. Highly recommend!

A TOP spot in the U.S. - Edit
We came here simply because we found it to have decent sounding vegan options. We had no idea they were 2024’s #1 restaurant on Yelps Top 100 list, in the country! This place was BUMPING. And it lives up to the hype. Incredible food. Fun menu, helpful staff, and an amazingly fast, efficient, and smooth process and system that gives you a comfortable and fun experience despite how incredibly busy they are!

Incredible Menu - Edit
The hype on this place is real. Best vegan food I’ve had in my 8 years of veganism. The chilaquiles were an incredible breakfast choice. Went back for dinner and even though they had a long line the food was out shortly after we sat down.

Best in Tucson - Edit
As far as I'm concerned this is the best vegan food in Tucson, and maybe Arizona altogether. The tamales are absolutely outstanding. So was the pastor burrito. This is the kind of place where it seems like a chef decided to make a vegan restaurant. I cannot wait to go back, and would happily drive 100 miles for this place, and probably will.
