Food & Dining

From food trucks to fine dining, from farmers’ markets to winery tasting rooms, the foodscape in and around Nogales reflects our colorful history and the rich blend of cultures in the region.

The most obvious food phenomenon is the number of permutations on Mexican, Mexican-American, and American cuisines, where the “open border” range of flavors is continuously evolving. We gave them chips and salsa. They gave us the Sonoran Hot Dog. And much, much more.
