My favorite Mexican restaurant! Tito & Pep is a bright venue in Midtown Tucson providing delicious food and beverage and exceptional service in a convivial, upbeat atmosphere. We hope to establish ourselves as a true hub, woven into the fabric of one of Tucson's most vibrant areas. The focus of the dining experience at Tito & Pep is mesquite-fired cuisine, complemented by one-of-a kind cocktails and a full-service beverage menu featuring locally brewed beer and a unique selection of wine. With over 20 years of experience gained across the U.S. and abroad, Chef and Owner John Martinez draws influence from the multicultural history of the Southwest region, and from his travels, to create a cuisine that is distinctive and flavorful.

Go back to the 1800s, when cowboys and outlaws spun their spurs and horses whinnied at the first sniff of a gunfight. It’s not that hard: The central street of downtown Tombstone, Allen Street, retains much of the historic character that made it famous all those decades ago. At the O.K. Corral in The Streets of Tombstone Theater, actors playing the Earps and Doc Holliday rapidly re-create a long-simmering feud against the Cowboys—cementing 30 seconds of history in hundreds of visitors' minds every week. Some have said it’s the most famous shootout of the American Wild West, and Tombstone keeps it top-of-mind.
