Tumerico

Visiting Tucson from California and was a happy to try this place! I've been eating a lot of unsatisfying meat on my trip, so I was excited to try a vegetarian place! I'm very happy with my choice, I ordered the pozole and it was delicious! I finished the whole bowl, which is rare for me. The flavor is there even though it was cooked without meat, and I enjoyed the amount of hominy, potato, and zucchini in there. The only thing I would suggest is that they add toppings like radishes cilantro, onion, limes etc or at least have it available at the salsa bar. My boyfriend ordered the mesquite mole plate, which I tried the rice and veggies. The rice was amazing. The vegetables were really tasty but very sweet and something reminded me about Thai food lol. Service and ambiance is pretty minimal. They take your order at the counter and bring the food to you. There are many chairs and tables to sit at. Overall I would definitely return if I visit the area again!

Unfortunately, I had a terrible experience. I took my family to the restaurant, and after ordering our food, I bit into my taco and broke my teeth. I immediately called the manager, but they only offered to discount my meal. I explained that I needed to see a dentist to repair my teeth, and they referred me to their insurance. However, the insurance company did everything possible to avoid covering the costs, even though the food was contaminated with metal.When I showed them the piece of metal, they admitted it came from one of the strainers in their kitchen. Despite acknowledging their responsibility, I am still waiting for a resolution to this issue. Think twice before dining at this restaurant.Desafortunadamente, tuve una experiencia terrible. Llevé a mi familia al restaurante y, después de pedir nuestra comida, al morder mi taco, me quebré los dientes. Llamé de inmediato al encargado, pero solo me ofrecieron descontar el costo de la comida. Les expliqué que necesitaba ver a un dentista para reparar mis dientes, y me remitieron a su compañía de seguros. Sin embargo, la aseguradora hizo todo lo posible por no cubrir los gastos, a pesar de que la comida estaba contaminada con metal.Al mostrarles el pedazo de metal, admitieron que provenía de uno de los sedazos de su cocina. A pesar de reconocer su responsabilidad, sigo esperando una solución a este problema. Piensen dos veces antes de ir a este restaurante.

An icon! When visiting Tucson for a week, my wife and I decided to eat here and their sister restaurant (La Chaiteris) 3 times! Not only is this the best vegan/vegetarian food I have had in a very long time, it is some of the best Mexican food you can find in the US! They often banch out in different styles, but their Mexican cuisine is so lovely. Between the few times that my wife and I ate there, the highlight was absolutely the vegan tamales. So incredibly unique, rich and flavorful I will be dreaming about them for many months to come. With olives, jackfruit carnitas, jalapenos, your mind will be blown!There isn't a bad food item on the menu, and if you want to level up, add the Tumerico lemonade on the side. A fantastic combination of ginger turmeric and lemon to die for. Their menu rotates daily, so you may never be bored of being a regular. I can tell you if I lived nearby I would keep this one on heavy rotation.

I appreciate that Tumerico has non vegan options on the menu and think the huevos rancheros are among the best in town. The freshness ingredients and rich flavors really shine through. I'm also a big fan of their fresh Jamaica, which is the perfect blend of sweet and tart. Fast, friendly service and a homey atmosphere only add to this great local spot.

Tumerica is a little barebones no glare no ambiance to speak of. It kind of reminds me of a cafeteria in a nursing home. That being said the food is really good, especially for vegetarian food. My burrito was delicious and my friend liked the tika. I've eaten here a few times before and I thought I had written a review already. I don't think about coming here because it's outside my normal range. One thing it's nondescript, you can drive by and not notice it. When I get the food I'm always happy with it, but I'm not a vegetarian so I don't seek it out.just to note the bill adds up quick. But for a fresh meal it's a deal.

Tumerico was my favorite restaurant on a recent trip to Tucson. It was so good, in fact, that we went twice. The namesake Tumerico Lemonade has a generous amount of tumeric and is reason alone for going to the restaurant.The pictures don't do the food justice, It is incredibly flavorful and complex. When they say an item is spicy, they mean it, which was a welcomed change from some of the bland food we ate at other Tucson institutions. Our favorite was the tamale plate, but this is one of those spicy items that isn't for the faint of heart. The portions here are very generous, with every item coming with rice, beans and a delicious little side salad. You will be too full for dessert, but you should get the soy tres leches cake anyways.Even if you aren't a vegetarian, you should add Tumerico to your Tucson bookmark list!

Well, after hearing so much & being 'late to the party' I had to see what the fuss is all about, especially as a former vegan who relocated from a city known for health food (PDX). Our Tumerico meals were conceptually creative though the 'meat replacement' - al pastor and barbacoa, (though I'll give the barbacoa slightly beat out the pastor) tasted pretty close to the same. The plates looked appetizing to the eye & tasted good for Mexican vegan fare. I did like the ever changing chalkboard menu, was less fond of how terribly cold it was inside for December. The chilly dining room made the food cold in record time which prob didn't help the flavor profile. Service was good, but not great and atmosphere was unremarkable. Best part was my coffee and a GF cookie. Overall, I would try again (and bring a coat!) and add more salsa from the self serve bar!

The sweetest staff that greet you and guide you through the menu. They do not have a fixed menu so the options change daily so you know that they really care about the food quality.This place expanded in the past few years so there is plenty of seating across the rooms. Water and hot sauce is self serve so you can get all of the different things that you need. We got the tamales and they were so good. I love a good tamale and the fact all plates include salad, rice, and beans makes sure you are completely full leaving this place.I really appreciated that this place is completely vegan and that they are the kindest people who really do care.

Stopped in on a bad day, which added to it. I didn't realize it was vegan until I waited and saw the menu. So I ordered a breakfast burrito with eggs. It was flavorless and terrible. Greasy with seed oils I'm sure. The people were very nice and the place was clean, although lacks serious ambiance. $25 for a burrito and very small iced tea, plus tip. Unfortunately, it just wasn't good enough for me to ever venture back.

10/10 service, extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff. There's salsas are all very flavorful, featuring a variety of heat levels.
