Neighborhood: South Tucson

Cuisine: Mexican

Yelp rating: 4 stars

Entertaining Yelp review:  "I ordered El Presidente as I decided that I'd eat my way to the top. The name El Presidente originated when President Bill Clinton came here and ordered to sample all - he was not a skinny lad back then. No disrespect, Mr. President!"
