Dining Guide

Tucos in downtown Davis looks casual but offers fresh local fare from top producers (including produce from the Davis Farmers’ Market and coffee from San Francisco’s Blue Bottle) in stylish small plates. Well-selected wine flights and tastes come in intriguing test-tube-like glasses, and there’s a strong lineup of briny oysters, unusual cheeses and plates including pizzettas with toppings like blue cheese and chicken, lamb meatballs and an apple and goat cheese sandwich with sweet onion and citrus dressing. And definitely don’t miss owner Pru Mendez’s lineup of pan-Latin flavors you’re unlikely to find elsewhere in our region, from a Cuban sandwich to fresh-baked pao de queijo (Brazilian cheese bread).
