(Travel+Leisure) Yelp is back with its Top 100 places to eat in the United States, and it’s naming a brand-new No. 1 pick.
The company announced its 11th annual rankings, highlighting the best of the best eateries from coast to coast, which it determined after analyzing user submissions, highlighting restaurants by ratings, number of reviews, and volume of submissions. The data was then used by an expert panel of community managers who finalized the rankings.
“From New York City to Houston, and Florida to California, Yelp’s Top 100 Places to Eat list celebrates the must-visit local restaurants across the United States,” Tara Lewis, Yelp’s trend expert, shared in a statement provided to Travel + Leisure. “This year’s list embraces the unique tastes of our users and spotlights the beloved hidden gems across local communities.”
Without further ado, this year’s No. 1 spot is Tumerico, a vegetarian Mexican restaurant in Tucson, Arizona.
Owned by James Beard Award semi-finalist chef Wendy Garcia, the restaurant boasts a 4.8-star rating out of more than 1,000 reviews, with Yelpers citing both the food and the inviting atmosphere as top-notch.
“I’m not vegan or vegetarian, but this place was awesome. The food was prepared perfectly, and it was delicious,” one reviewer wrote. “I came in with a large group, and the service was fast and friendly. The salsa was served warm which was new to me, but very good. The chips were fresh fried and crunchy with a bit of chewy on the inside. Definitely eat here vegan, vegetarian, or not. It’s great food.”
