West St Marys Rd, El Presidio

If your planning on attending one of the nearby colleges such as Pima Community college, you will be spending alot of time eating on this street. With delicious mexican food, or more conveinent fast food there's alot to eat.

Your also conveintly located near St Mary's Hospital‎, great place in case you eat to much. I spent the night there after getting some food poisoning but since I'm not entirely sure which resturant I got it from I'll refrain from slandering any of the places. The nurses obviously know English as a second language but were kind nontheless. This is the place to hit for some food or businesses in the United Financial Center‎.

It really is about half-way between the university and the local and well-respected community college. At a stretch there's a lot of strip malls in walking distance, and a grocery store, but this place really shines in its Mexican food. I can't say enough good things about La Herradura (a salmon colored building, which I think is across the street (east) of a Jack in the Box) and the blue (or least it was when I went there last) taco shop. Stop by if you ever get a chance. But beware takeout. Their food is freshly fried, and immediately put in styrofoam containers which sometimes melt from the dripping hot grease. There's also a tortilla factory (a real one that makes tortillas, not the chain restaurant) that makes delicious and freaking enormous tortillas -- big enough for a burrito the size of your head.
