Guayo's El Rey, best mex food in the world, is in Miami az, it's a 2 hour drive from Tucson. If you do drive, do one way through Mammoth/Winkelman, take time to check out and maybe a quick hike at Aravaipa Canyon. Before the state took it over my cousins own the ranch there, I worked summers there in highschool ranchhanding for them, cool area.

You can come back through Superior/Florence jt/Florence, about the same time driving.

If you don't have that much time, Lupe's in Oracle jt has decent mex food, probably still hit Aravaipa from there.

Tombstone/Bisbee/caverns are east and south.
