South side experience with authentic Southern Arizona cuisine. For something unique, try the Nopales enchiladas, the slightly tangy fruit of the prickly pear cactus. If you're feeling extra hungry, try the Presidential special, served to Bill Clinton when he visited Tucson.

South-of-the-border version of Eegee's. They have some traditional slushie flavors like strawberry, but we recommend trying flavors like tamarindo (tamarind, recommended "con leche" with condensed milk) and chamoy (spicy and icy!).
