You could genuinely taste the love and care that went into each meal. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I was blessed to experience Tumerico with my wife, and we both really enjoyed the food and the overall atmosphere. If you're visiting Arizona and looking for a unique spot to enjoy a night out, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try. I will say, the meal was a little on the pricey side, but I felt the quality of the food and the experience made it worthwhile. Overall, a wonderful experience and a great way to start our time in Tucson! Great job to Chef Wendy Garcia and the entire Tumerico team!

Get those dates! I admit I was skeptical but so glad I tried them! Had never had paella before but the Mar y Tierra was HUGE and just DIVINE! We got 4 portions out of it! The Crème brûlée was a beautiful conclusion to a fantastic experience Highly Recommended...you won't be disappointed. So glad we got out of our box and tried something new. Can't wait to come back!

The food was amazing and the service was top-tier. Our waiter was friendly, funny, and great. We had the best dinner here during our trip to Tucson. First off, the whole menu sounds incredible but you just can't go wrong. We picked the following tapas: LAS FAVORITAS (Dates stuffed with Spanish chorizo, wrapped in smoked pork) PULPO FERIA (Octopus, fingerlings, chili oil, parsley, chimichurri and greens) TOREADOS (Seared shishito peppers, lemon, herbs, chicharrón) ALCACHOFAS (Grilled artichokes, goat cheese, orange zest, and mint) And for the paella: MARISCOS Grilled squid, prawns, mussels, clams, and saffron For dessert, we got the tres leches. The cake was so soft and drenched in delicious cream. I'm really not kidding when I say everything we got was delightful. I can't pick a favorite, get them all! I will say though that the paella was a star of the night and was filled with so much saffron and seafood so don't miss out on it!

Each time, the arepa has been fabulous! Venezuelan style tends to be a drier corn cake split open and stuffed full of juicy, flavorful meat. Last time I got the chicken arepa and it was super stuffed and so delicious. Next time I see it, I want to try the cachapas which seems to be similar to Cuban style arepas wish a softer corn masa, stuffed with cheese and grilled. As a person from the east coast who regularly had different cuisines from Central and South American countries, Ricuras is one of only a few options that I've found in Tucson. Definitely find them and support so they stay around for a long time!

I dropped in here yesterday for an early dinner by myself. I ordered the Pineapple Adobada Burrito…read more($18). It came with a bunch of sides: rice, refried beans, green salsa, guacamole, a grilled jalapeno and slaw, plus complimentary corn chips and red salsa. The beans and rice were perfunctory, but with the addition of salsa and bits of jalapeno they were OK. The burrito itself was large and had plenty of pork, though I didn't care for the marinade. The two salsas were good. All in all, it was just OK. The ambiance is nice and service was fine.

Reading through one of the three-point reviews, we decided to take a shot anyway since it was only marked down two points for some issues with the server. So in we go. We are in a Friday around 1:00 PM. Just after the lunch rush expect expecting there to be pretty far tables. More people receded than I expected in a large room had a private party going on as well. The place is actually quite beautiful with wonderful color schemes aren't very comfortable chairs and tables sit around. The hostess, who I believe her name was Angelina was incredibly polite, energetic and helpful. Got a seated got us water got us chips and salsa while our server Jackie was finishing up her tables in the private party to come out to us. Jackie was quick, efficient, friendly, and checked on us as often as we needed to, which wasn't much From a food perspective, we got the lunch specials for Gorditas and I tried the combo with a corn, tamale chicken enchilada, and Carne Asada taco. The presentations were simply stunning, but more than that they were functional. All of the flavors mixed in created some exceptional dishes. I have honestly never had a corn tamale as good as that one and I've lived here most of my life. The chicken enchilada was so incredibly well seasoned with just enough cheese on top to add a little extra punch along with the Crema, and all the other flavors. Tortilla bread was perfectly balanced with the meat, tasting so good you didn't eat any of the toppings. But the toppings turned it into one heck of an adventure of flavor. Yes I know. I'm waxing a little philosophically here, but the food really did impress the hell out of us. Service was great, food was great, presentation was great, environment is great we recommend coming here and we will be back. Price wise for an upscale Mexican restaurant this one's right in line around $16-$20 a plate foremost dishes. Of course you can spend more, of course you can spend less. I would have added a picture of the food, but at this point, all we have is empty plates and I didn't think that would do any of you any good.

They've got Mexican grab‑and‑go drinks from the fridge, agua frescas, and cafés. One of my favorite parts is that they offer a free soup for everyone -- you can serve yourself while you wait for your food. It's fast‑casual with generous plates that are easy to split or take home. There's also a great self‑serve salsa bar with amazing crema. We ordered the chicken ranchero plate and the Sonoran barbacoa plate. Both came with sides and tortillas, and everything tasted like a meal you'd get at your grandmother's house -- comforting, friendly, plenty of food, and full of love.
