8 Restaurants Defining Tucson’s Food Scene Right Now - AFAR

"An immersive culinary and cultural tour that traces Tucson’s indigenous ingredients from the desert to the table, offering hands-on education about foraged plants and traditional preparation techniques. Guests taste handmade tortillas made with locally grown wheat and chiltepins picked right off the vine, sample other ancestral foods, and learn how Indigenous agricultural practices and sustainability efforts continue to shape the region’s food identity. The experience emphasizes stories, traditions, and the living heritage behind Tucson’s gastronomy rather than just food sampling." - AFAR

Borderlandia is an absolutely amazing organization, and Alex is doing such important work, especially now. I just returned from their Bacanora Route tour and have only positive things to say. Having the opportunity to traverse Northern Sonora with a small group and meet small producers typically inaccessible to visitors was such a special experience, and Alex's encyclopedic knowledge of Mexican/Sonoran history and culture is staggering. Highly recommend for a fun, immersive adventure!

The taco tour of Nogales, Sonora was fun and most importantly delicious 🤤 Alex was a great guide who provided meaningful insights on the history of the area while we walked from restaurant to restaurant! I would love to go again and eat even more if that’s possible. Highly recommended!

This is a very informative tour of our neighboring Nogales. Alex is a wealth of knowledge and a magnificent tour guide. We visited three restaurants during the tour and each showed the unique culture of our neighboring town. We felt very safe and were treated with the utmost hospitality. I would recommend the Borderlandia Taco Tour to any one interested in the culture, history and traditional food of Mexico!!

First of all, Alex is just about the most knowledgeable person with regard to the peoples of the southwest, the history, the culture and the geography. Visiting the churches and meeting real indigenous peoples was like icing on the cake. We sampled many foods and had a very safe driver.

My family LOVED our tour of Nogales! We learned so much about the history, culture, economy, and the delicious food of the area. We did the Taco Tour and went to 3 outstanding restaurants, learning as we made our way from stop to stop. We absolutely loved everything we had and I think I'm still full! Alex is a very knowledgeable, passionate, thoughtful guide and this trip gave us the confidence to cross the border on our own in the future. We will definitely be recommending Borderlandia to friends and visitors and look forward to doing another trip!

TKS Alex, we had a wonderful day trip to Magdalena yesterday with you. It was a great introduction to Mexico through Nogales. It was wonderful to see the workers working in the areas to make it beautiful for the visitors. Thank you for all your hard work to promote knowledge between our two nations. Highly recommend it!

An altogether enchanting and fulfilling immersion in the history and culture of Sonora. Brilliantly organized and carefully curated by host Alex Lapierre, we enjoyed seven days of delicious food, beautiful vistas in charming places - like San Carlos; the exquisite murals, friendly residents and the fascinating exhibits of the Yaqui museum in Cocorít, the narrow streets and parks of Alamos, and the exuberance and sophistication of Hermosillo. A particular highlight was the three nights spent at the magical Hotel en La Naturaleza, El Pedregal, not only a bird watcher’s paradise but also home to the mariposa de cuatro espejos!

Magdalena holds a special place for many cultures across the border and Alex made the trip across the border safe secure and fun. Knowledge of ways in Mexico so valuable so much knowledge of history both sides of the border. And the food regional so good, road food delicacies fish and shrimp tacos so delicious!
