Tucson Food Review – Tito and Pep 🌵🔥

Finally got to try this iconic Tucson spot after weeks of waiting — and it did NOT disappoint! Every dish was a creative, flavorful surprise. Definitely worth the hype (and the wait!). Here’s what we ordered: 🐙 Grilled Octopus ($16) – Tender, slightly chewy, with a spicy sauce that had a nostalgic “Lao Gan Ma” kick! 🍢 Steak Skewers + Special Fish ($12 + $30) – Juicy, cheesy, perfectly cooked skewers. The fish (didn’t catch the name 😅) was tasty but a bit bony and charred. 🐟 Sea Bass Crudo ($14) – Bright, tangy, and refreshing — like a fancy ceviche with avocado and cucumber. Served with giant “chips”! 🍹 Jamaica Lemonade ($4) – Sweet, tart, and pretty in purple 💜 with a hint of salt. The portions are on the smaller side (not your typical fill-you-up Chinese meal 😄), but the flavors are bold, inventive, and thoughtfully crafted. We skipped dessert but left happy — total was around $82 after tax. Perfect for a special occasion or when you want to treat your taste buds to something unique. Already dreaming of our next visit! 🌟 📍 Tito and Pep 📅 Book early — they’re always packed! #TitoAndPep #TucsonEats #NewAmerican #FoodieFavorite #DateNight #AZFoodies 🍽️✨
