The city is the very first position in the U.S. regarded by UNESCO for its gastronomy, and it’s turn out to be less difficult than ever to seek out its Mexican and Indigenous American heritage. The new Barrio Charro restaurant brings together baker Don Guerra’s heirloom grains with chef Carlotta Flores’s Mexican flavors, resulting in dishes like tortamano sandwiches made with Azteca bread. Whiskey Del Bac’s single malt—available at its distillery and bars about the city—gets its smoky aptitude from area mesquite wooden. And the internationally acclaimed Monsoon Chocolate turns out superbly packaged bars that incorporate substances like Sonoran sea salt harvested by users of the Tohono O’odham tribe. The area’s new motels also consider inspiration from their environment. The Tuxon, with a Southwestern-modern-day vibe (clean traces, loads of earthy tones and textures), and the Posada by The Joshua Tree Residence, appropriate exterior Saguaro Nationwide Park, with white stucco walls and a kiva fire, acquire desert great to a new level. — Stephanie Wu
