5 Reasons To Stop At The Innovative El Berraco

El Berraco Restaurant Brings Pacific Rim Mexican To Tucson, AZ

Pacific Rim Sea Food in Tucson, AZ

El Berraco opened in early 2016 and is bringing a whole new spin on Mexican food. Mexican sea food that is. But it is not just Mexican.

El Berraco is creating Mexican sea food fusion with tastes found along the Pacific Rim. Receipts come from the coastal restaurants from Mexico, California and South America.

There is nothing like El Berraco in Tucson or perhaps the United States.

5 Reasons You Should Try El Berraco

1 – The décor

If you are driving on 1st Avenue just north of Grant, you will notice a structure that strikes you as a submarine.

A submarine – in Tucson. No “F…n” way!

The silver metal skin and port holes will catch you off guard. Could it be the Jules Vernes Nautilus from 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. The movie of course.

As you enter, a dark blue glow of neon lighting surrounds you. No LEDs here. It almost makes you feel as if you are slipping into the depths of a blue lagoon. The interior décor enhances the nautical theme with each scenes on the walls, pictures of submarines and digital fish tank.

For those individuals considering themselves “visual”, get ready for sensory overload.

2 – Location

If convenience is a factor in selecting a restaurant, then El Berraco is close to the top. Its 1 st avenue location is easy to get to from most areas of greater Tucson.

3 – The Menu

What can you say about a menu? How about “OMG” it goes on forever. Selection after selection. TV’s in the restaurant show tantalizing images of the many dishes available. Seafood dishes reflect the cuisine found from Mexico all the way to Peru.

Dishes inspired from Columbia, Mexico and Peru bring fascinating flavors to the sea food. And sea food is more than shrimp and your run of the mill fish. Yes, you will find a lot of shrimp dishes. But how about octopus, sting ray, tuna, oysters, scallops, calamari, crab, swordfish and…. The list goes on!

A host of sea food in tacos, tostadas, quesadella, ceviche and other ingenious presentations.

El Berraco will meet your seafood cravings. Seafood with unique flavors and presentations from the Pacific Rim.  And last, the portions are large to huge. You won’t go home hungry, but you will likely have left overs for tomorrow.

4 – The Bar

On this on lets start with the bad news. It is not a wine bar. There is a selection of wines on the menu, but it is small. El Berraco is for the lovers of beer and margarita.

On tap is a long list of options along with bottled beers from Mexico and South America.

5 – Prices

Someone once said, “you get what you pay for.” And El Beracco is no exception. Yes a bit on the price site, but you can’t find this cuisine any place in Tucson, AZ. And you won’t go away hungry.

Conclusion

There are lots of great restaurants in Tucson, AZ. But if you are looking for seafood with a unique Pacific Rim flare – El Berraco is a THE place to go. Great food, lots of beverages and good prices! What more could you want?

El Berraco is a one of a kind Pacific Rim sea food restaurant. From the unique décor to the unique flavors influencing each dish.

Redefining Breakfast And Brunch For Tucson Restaurants

As one of the newest Tucson restaurants, Teaspoon open in Casas Adobe Plaza. Teaspoon and BIRD filled the void left when Blue Fin and Frogs Organic Bakery closed over a year ago.

The distinctive covered patio now has an outdoor high top bar. The large fountains nearby create a tranquil seating area.

Teaspoon is the first Tucson restaurant by NYC restaurateurs Treasa Cheung-Valencia and Mary Grzegorski. Sisters and chefs.

Teaspoon restaurant menu does not take a “something for everyone” approach. Although there are many of the expected breakfast items.

Eggs Benedict is available with ham, steak, crab, or portobello mushroom. Skillet dishes create omelets Lobster & Crab with leek and jack cheese.

Hours Of Operation

The Caffe Torino Story

One of the pleasures of living in Tucson AZ is the number of great restaurants. And Caffe Torino is at the top of the list when looking for Italian cuisine. Authentic Northern Italian cuisine.

Family Owned And Operated Caffe since 2000. The Borella family relocated to Tucson, AZ from Italy in the late 1980’s. They discovered there weren’t any authentic Italian restaurants in Tucson.

So, with no restaurant experience, the Borella family opened an Italian restaurant in Oro Valley in 2000. Caffe Torino. Making up for their lack of experience was their enthusiasm for cooking. Cooking traditional Northern Italian food as they did at home.

At first, Caffe Torino Oro Valley served only breakfast and lunch. But added a happy hour and a dinner menu to meet their customers requests.

In 2013 Caffe Torino expanded its dining space and added authentic Italian pizza to the menu. That same year the Barella family opened their second Tucson Italian restaurant. It has become a favorite dining spot in the Foothills.

What Makes A Smashburger So Good – A Tucson Restaurants Review

3 Locations in Tucson AZ – Find One Near You

What the heck is a smashburger?

The name smashburger actually refers to the cooking technique used in making a hamburger. As with many “new and improved” things, the technique is not new.

The “smashing” technique dates back to the White Castle burger restaurants of the 1920s. White Castle abandoned the smashing method in favor of using frozen beef for its burgers. Clearly, smashing a frozen beef patty can be difficult, if not impossible.

The name Smashburger comes from the process of cooking the burger. A 100 percent fresh angus beef ball is literally smashed immediately after it is put on the hot griddle. A unique smashing tool – patent pending – does the job.

The smashing process creates the sear that seals the juices in the meat. Keeping the juices in makes the burger taste better.

The Maillard Reaction – The TMI Part

The smashing process causes the Maillard Reaction. Also known as the browning reaction. It is actually is a chemical reaction that take place when protein-rich foods get heated. Large proteins break down into smaller compounds that react and recombine into new configurations.

This cycle of breaking down and recombining goes on and on. It is a cascade of chemical reactions that creates hundreds of brand new compounds. A deep brown crust is created before the interior of the beef patty overcooks. Firm on the outside, juicy on the inside.

The Result

The resulting crust on the patty does two things. First, it keeps the juices in. Second, it adds a crunch taste to each bite. But, the process also means a “medium rare to rare” burger is almost impossible to achieve.

The Smashburger menu has a variety of burger choices. For those not into beef, there are Smashchicken sandwiches and fresh salads offerings.

For those wanting to try smashing at home, be advised, there is one place the smashing technique doesn’t work well. On your outdoor grill! Unless you have a side griddle cooking top.

Smashburger Tucson, AZ

The first Smashburger opened in Tucson in November 2012. Today there are four locations.

3837 E Broadway Blvd.
Tucson, AZ

4821 E Grant Rd.
Tucson AZ

Oracle Crossings Shopping Center
7625 N. Oracle Road #145
Oro Valley, AZ

Smashburger is seeing rapid growth across the United States. It combines a modern fast casual dining experience with cooking techniques from a by gone era.

While not yet as big as Five Guys Burger and Fries, it appears to be offering a unique formula for great burgers and gaining popularity.

If you are living in Tucson, AZ or just visiting, give Smashburger a try.

Wild Garlic Grill Tucson AZ – A Best Tucson Restaurants Review

Located At –  2870 E Skyline Dr.

The Wild Garlic Grill has moved to the Southwest corner of Skyline and Campbell. A bigger and brighter dining space with the same great food selections.

Now in the spot Shlomo & Vito once held. It may be a bit more noisy, but who cares. The food is great.

You can now shop till you drop and La Encantada and go across Skyline to the Wild Garlic Grill for dinner

History

What was once an A & W drive in, the Wild Garlic Grill is now one of Tucson popular upscale eateries. Upscale dining in a 1950’s throw back building. But don’t let the outside fool you.

While there is nothing fancy about the inside, the food served is truly outstanding.

The Wild Garlic Grill opened in 2013 and has rocketed to the top of the list of great Tucson restaurants. Chef Steven Schultz was the former Chef at The Ventana Room at Lowes Ventana Resort. His talents elevated the  restaurant to a 12th ranking in the United States by Conde nast Traveler Magazine.

The Wild Garlic Grill menu presents a blend of dishes that range from traditional steaks and burgers to tantalizing sea food and salads. The appetizers are distinctive and complement the main menu.

Once A Drive In

In creating the Wild Garlic Grill, the main building became a kitchen, bar and “inside” dining area. What was the “drive-in” area is now an protected dining area. Nothing fancy, but a unforgettable experience. The wine list is relative short, but the offerings complement the food very well.

The inside bar is situated to allow patrons to enjoy a “beverage of choice” and watch the activity in the kitchen. The hustle and bustle of the staff, the clanking of cook ware and the interaction of the team that makes the Wild Garlic Grill outstanding.

The Experience

We recently had diner there with clients from California. Not only did the printed menu have great offerings the specials were “Special”. Our table settled on a rack of lamb that was exceptional and a stuffed Scottish salmon that raised the bar on presentation and tastes.

Another unique aspect of the Wild Garlic Grill is its neighborhood feel. There is nothing intimating about it, with the exception of finding the entrance. Find the hand written note of the door and come on in. Let the fun begin, beverages flow and the enjoyment begin.

Prep & Pastry – Its More Than A Place For Breakfast

Another Gem In The Tucson Restaurant Scene

Before Commoner & Co there was Prep & Pastry. It opened in 2014 with one location in Tucson, AZ on N. Campbell Ave.  It remains the go to place for a great breakfast and brunch.

With strong ratings and long waits for a table, a second location opened on Grant Road in 2016.

Many believe Prep & Pastry serves the best breakfast in Tucson. And building on that success, the owners opened Commoner & Co. in 2016. This venue brings happy hour and dinner to the east side.

But wait. Prep & Pastry is more than breakfast. Its breakfast, brunch and lunch. And to make it more unique, they serve booze.

Breakfast And Booze

This may not be the place to stop in at on the way to work. While a mimosa with breakfast on the weekend may be perfect, it may not go well with the boss.

The owners believe food should be beautiful. Be prepared to spend some time working through the menu. So many options, so little time.

All the meals are from scratch. If you are watching your calorie intake – forget it! The pastries are – OMG – out of this world!

If there is a downside to going to Prep & Pastry, its the wait. Sometimes over an hour. But a mimosa or two will make the time pass.

Unfortunately, along with the line at the restaurant is parking. Finding a parking spot can be a challenge. And that taste mimosa at breakfast or brunch may not be helpful for the drive home.

Prep & Pastry Locations In Tucson AZ

• 3073 N Campbell Ave, Tucson, AZ 85719

• 6450 E Grant Rd #160, Tucson, AZ 85715

Both Prep & Pastry locations are open from 7 AM to 3PM – Website

The reviews for Prep & Pastry are 4.5/5.0. But the reviews also prove – You can please some of the people some of the time. And most of the people most of the time. But you can’t please all of the people all for the time.

Give Prep & Pastry a try. Find out if it meets your expectations.
