This hybrid bar, restaurant and live music venue has one of the best locations in town. Located in Old Town Artisans's, La Cocina features a sprawling outdoor patio shaded by old cottonwood trees. Even better, the menu is chock-full of seasonal dishes and Southwestern specialties. For starters, try the quesadilla with green chiles, with comes with guacamole, sour cream, and salsa. Salads, entrees and sandwiches round out the menu. Try the Presidio Reuben, a Tucson version of the deli classic. It comes with your choice of corned beef, house roasted turkey breast, or eggplant, served with grilled sauerkraut, green chiles, provolone, thousand island dressing and spicy mustard on rye. Check out the bar too, where you'll find a good selection of local beers and handmade cocktails.
