    Turmerico is such a gem in Tucson's food scene. I haven't been in a while since it's a bit of a schlep for me, but every time I do go, it's fantastic. The food is fresh, truly healthy, plant-based, and the portions are very generous. The staff is always kind and gracious, and the whole place has a relaxed, casual vibe--nothing pretentious. I do miss some of the variety of bowls they used to offer. Since I'm not big on "fake" meat (though the jackfruit is actually really good), I went with the veggie curry bowl, and it was absolutely delicious. My husband and daughter, who usually prefer the real meat, each chose a different jackfruit burrito, and they both really liked their dishes. And the chips and guac are not to be missed!

    They have expanded the restaurant since the last time I was there. There's 3 big rooms for dining, a salsa bar, and 2 self serve water stations. There's also desserts, and gifts available. I tried the special coconut curry. It was sautéed vegetables with yellow curry a with a side of beans and rice. It was good and plenty of food. Service was great. Very friendly and quick. Parking is tough in front of the restaurant but there's parking across the street.

    Cuban and al pastor tacos
    Sabrina H.

    Finally made a trip out to Tucson and I have been wanting to try this vegetarian spot ever since it was ranked number 1 restaurant in the USA by Yelp in 2024. My friend ordered the cuban tacos and I got the al pastor (without cheese) - both so delicious and flavorful! We couldn't even tell it was all plant-based. The rice that it came with was good as well. Truly a gem and the workers were all so nice. Would come back to try other menu items.

    I was really excited to try this spot when it popped up on my search. I was out with my dogs and looking for a dog friendly spot- I was surprised when they said I could sit anywhere with them. The dining area is quite large with multiple rooms. The woman helping me order was super friendly and explained the menu very well. I ordered the tamale plate off their regular menu. The tamale was moist and spicy! The greens had such a great texture and the beans were some of the best I've had. They also have a salsa bar with 4 salsas of varying spices.

    Come here all the time! Recently brought some folks who had never been here before. And absolutely loved it. Everything is so clean and fresh. Everything is vegetarian with vegan options. I highly recommend the ropa dish. The curry dish is also really good. When they have the Ethiopian platter definitely get that!

    As a Yelp Elite who is constantly chasing down plant-forward gems, I genuinely cannot believe I haven't written about Tumerico yet. This place is a staple for me. A regular. A comfort spot. And every single time, it delivers. Led by an award-winning chef (and no, this isn't even her only concept -- which makes it even more impressive), Tumerico is fully plant-based, vegetarian, and wildly vegan-friendly in a way that feels intentional, not trendy. Nothing feels like an afterthought here. It's creative, flavorful, and satisfying in a way that even non-vegans would appreciate. Let's talk tacos. We had the Cuban and the al pastor -- both completely vegan -- topped with this dreamy cashew crema that just ties everything together. Savory, layered, balanced. You don't miss a single thing. Add in a solid salsa bar and you're building bites exactly how you want them. And the lattes? Generous. Like actually generous. Around $6 and you're getting full, flavorful cups -- matcha, horchata lattes, spicy options, creative twists. Not watered down. Not tiny. They don't skimp. They've also got a rotating selection of vegan bakery treats that make it way too easy to justify "just one more thing." The vibe is unfussy, colorful, community-driven -- the kind of place where you can pop in for a casual lunch, bring a friend who "doesn't usually do vegan," or sit solo with a latte and feel completely at home. Tumerico isn't trying to prove anything. It just quietly serves some of the best plant-based food in Tucson. Five stars. Always.

    Salma Hayek burrito with Horchata in the upper right corner.
    Paula B.

    We were 8 hungry runners and we all loved our meals. The service is very fast and efficient. They took our order when we walked in and we found lots of seating options even for our large group on a Saturday at 6pm. The place is comfortable and very spread out without it feeling like everyone is seating on top of each other. I ordered the Salma Hayek burrito (as did three others) and it was delicious. I loved the rice and beans and salad also. I also had the horchata and wished I had gotten one to go.

    The Cuban tacos
    Erika H.

    It's crazy that this restaurant has been open for 12 years and we had not visited before!! I have to say this is by far one of favorite Mexican places to eat now. The food was delicious and fresh. The service was fast and super friendly. Will definitely be back to try something new and bring family and relatives. My husband loved that there was FREE COFFEE..... lol

    Frida Kahlo Tostadas (so good)
    Kate M.

    "This doesn't even taste like vegan. It just tastes good." -- my meat-eating mother-in-law said it best. We loved our lunch at Tumerico in Tucson -- it was delicious, interesting, and left us feeling satisfied without feeling heavy. The menu is entirely vegan, with options to add cheese (and eggs at breakfast), which makes it easy for mixed-diet groups. We tried the cactus tacos, Cuban taco (jackfruit), and the Frida Kahlo tostadas -- which were the clear winner at our table, especially the crispy, veggie-loaded tostada. So flavorful and satisfying. The house-made horchata and turmeric lemonade were both excellent, the guacamole was delicious, and the salsa bar is a great bonus. Friendly staff, quick service, and chips + guac arrived almost immediately. We'd definitely go back.

    Enjoyed lunch here today. The only issue is it gets super loud so it is very difficult to carry a conversation The staff is very friendly and the restaurant is very clean. My food was delicious... I can't stand it when the bathroom doesn't have a hook for my bag....

    Carnitas and Tacos. Delicious!
    Julio V.

    Yup this place lives up to the hype! I'm a meat eater but would not mind coming back to this restaurant over and over again! They greet you with a smile and are happy to walk you through the entire menu as you wait to order. They have all the classic Mexican dishes, but vegetarian. We got the carnitas and some tacos. Everything was delicious and fresh, but the carnitas were fire!! I could eat that all day. The tortillas were great and the salsas paired well with all the food. We also enjoyed their pressed beet juice. Overall an amazing restaurant with great character and delicious food! A must try.

    Very nice food, is mostly crowded but you will get a place. It's in a house so very cozy vibe.

    Spinach salad, Beans, rice.   delicious.
    Holly S.

    My work Holiday party gave us several places to choose from for dinner. I picked Tumerico, and once again this place did not disappoint. This was a to go order, and I ordered the Tumerico Burrito. (Tumerico vegan carnitas, garlic cilantro sauce, beans, rice, salsa, cashew cream, in a flour tortilla. with spinach salad on side.). The massive burrito was ah-may-zing! I am not vegan, but the complex flavors and seasonings in the burrito ...completely made me forget this was vegan! The spinach salad was most excellent s well, and left me wanting more. Tumerico has set the bar for vegan restaurants. Well thought out complex flavors to elevate Tumerico to the next level.

    Do we need reservations for 2 for Friday, 7/18?

    No you do not need reservations! You order at the counter and they give you a number then find a table and they will bring your food out!

    Does this restaurant have real meat options (beef, chicken, pork and/or fish)?

    They do not

    Where are dogs allowed? Is there a patio? How many tables are dog friendly?

    Puede pedir que les pongan mesa afuera. Igual los perros si son permitidos dentro del restaurante. Aman a los perros. Yo he ido con el mio.

    Is there a liquor license and if not, can I BYOB!?

    I don't believe so! I don't know with 100% certainty, but they don't sell alcohol and I've never seen anyone drinking.

    Do you serve breakfast all day?

    Not really. If they have ingredients for something later in the day, they will sometimes make it. But, in my experience, this is hit or miss.

    How well is the sanitation, especially during this pandemic?

    Visited the restaurant couple of days and I feel they were taking good care maintaining the precautions due to covid. The restaurant was very clean, , staff and patrons were wearing masks and tables were cleaned after the table was used.

    Do they have gluten free options?

    Yup almost anything can be made gluten free with a corn tortilla or even no tortilla. They are very mindful of all allergies

    What kind of prices ? Do they have lunch specials?

    Very reasonable pricing. Menus change daily, so every day is special.

    Is Tumerico large enough to accommodate a party of 9 or 10? I don't want to overwhelm or take up all the tables.

    Yes, Wendy would be happy to serve. We hosted a 25 person event there and she is delightful to work with.

    When is the brunch menu available?

    The brunch menu is available every day upon opening.

    Assuming this is mostly a lunch place?

    This place is for breakfast lunch and dinner!! Breakfast is awesome! Dinner is only on weekends sadly.

This restaurants specializes in Southern Chinese food, which is different from other regions. I am so happy this restaurant and its chains helps the cuisine gain exposure and adds depth to Chinese food in general. Even better, the menu is laid out in a way that it is easy to understand: gluten-free options, allergies, and spice level. The service was great.

Overall, if you've never had Southern Chinese food or are looking for something more authentic than classic Chinese takeaway, definitely check out this location.

Walking in from the parking lot, we were struck at how beautiful the whole temple/grounds were. Beautiful art/water features and statues. The food changes daily, I believe, but on our visit there was a salad bar (with spinach and lettuce options, shredded carrot, cucumber, two kinds of sprouts, chickpeas, grape tomatoes, and zucchini- also don't miss the delicious dressings! I got seconds on salad so I could try multiple dressings!). There was also brown rice and yellow rice options, steamed veggies and curry veggies, coconut chutney, chowmein, and vegan pizza. Oh and rice pudding and halva. Everything was simple and delicious. They have signs on the table about the food being prepared with the utmost cleanliness and love and I believe it. We sat inside (even though the courtyard was beautiful, it was still a bit sunny). Inside they were playing pan flute music and there was the gentle gurgle of a water feature and large crystals lining the wall. Heck yeah! After dinner we wandered around the grounds, admiring everything. I particularly enjoyed seeing Sufi the white turkey, and the peacocks, the pheasants, and the parrots! They were all adorable and seemed happy. The koi pond was also very zen and beautiful. I would definitely recommend this spot with the caveat that it's not for everyone- you have to go in with the knowledge you're eating simply, and all vegetarian, and you're entering a space where others live and worship. For the price, this was a great bargain. I'd love to visit again one day!

Taste is amazing with medium-firm pasta and a nice crust across the top and sides. The ricotta calzone came with a side of marinara (yay) for dipping as there is no sauce inside. Roughly 2 dozen toppings are available, ranging from $3-$8+. I opted for the meatballs ($8.50) and was slightly disappointed. The meatballs are crumbled within the calzone (understandable) but not pronounced in quantity. I would prefer larger pieces (halves work at this size - after all I ordered meat-ball not meet-ground ;) However, for $8 (a 75% upcharge) my chief gripe is that I was simply expecting more. Next time pepperoni/mushrooms! Ambiance is lovely and waitstaff were awesome -- gracious, knowledgeable about menu specifics, and attentive. Parking is free/easy at this corner of a small strip mall. Can't wait to try their new Detroit menu too! Note: due to Rene's smaller size (less than 10 tables total) and high demand, all reservations (any day) require a credit card to hold. This is entirely understandable as even one no-show is a measurable hit to keeping a full house. I also have kids yet 100% embrace their patio-only policy when with kiddos. This literal mom/pop venue (they have kids too) tries to do the impossible balance between clientele and intimate, high-end dining (we simply accommodate by getting take out when feeding the Whole family ;)

    Checked out Renee's a few weeks ago and it's honestly my new favorite Italian spot in Tucson. The…read morefood was amazing, the vibes were great and it's such a great place for date night. The murals on the walls are super cool too. I loved how they had hand sanitizer at the table. Seating is pretty limited, so I'd definitely make a reservation. Service was great and everything tasted super fresh. We ordered the Meatballs & Jalapeño Cream, Spinach & Artichoke Dip, Garlic Knots, Papas con Queso Pizza, Penne Arrabbiata, and Tiramisu. Everything was amazing but my favorites had to be the meatballs and the pizza. Only downside was that they were out of lemonade, which I really wanted to try. But the food was so good that I'lol for sure be back, so I'll just grab it next time.
