Irene's

A taste of the Andes

254 East Congress Street
Tucson, AZ 85701
United States
+1 520 206 9385

Located at the center of downtown Tucson right across from the central bus terminal, Irene's offers authentic Peruvian food in an upbeat environment. It's a good place to come for breakfast and lunch after exploring the arts district, just have a drink at the bar, or to continue partying past midnight after Downtown Saturday Night is over. Exotic South American beverages and liquors are served in abundant quantities. The decor is simple, but effective: blue colors and no frills except some Peruviana. Your own attire should be casual, but colorful. Pork, chicken, and beef the Peruvian way, is usually served with peppers, onions, basmati rice, beans, and plantains. The Pudrin (Peruvian Bread Pudding), is delicious for dessert.

Maya Quetzal

The taste of Guatemala 429 North Fourth Avenue
Tucson, AZ 85705
United States
+1 520 622 8207 It's chile rellenos, tamales, tostadas and burritos here! Except, this is Guatemalan instead of Mexican, meaning that most dishes are a little milder and served in a cream sauce with black beans and rice on the side. It's also very casual, nestled between bookstores and student cafes on funky Fourth Avenue. Outside seating is available on the shaded patio surrounded by statuettes spouting cool water, which makes dining at the Maya Quetzal a very pleasurable experience on hot Tucson summer nights. Central American imagery with images of volcanoes and Indian gods adorn the walls in bright colors. Try the chile relleno with walnuts and spinach and consider the rice-based horchata as a soft drink refreshment.
