Some restaurants in Tucson go beyond their normal menus and offer a bit of a treat to those who pay close attention. From rainbow tea to discontinued sandwiches, here are 9 eateries with secret menus.

What started with Adilene Castro selling tamarindo candy mixes on Instagram and aguas frescas at the Tohono Swap Meet has since turned into Adis, which is home to local food hall American Eat Co., 1439 S. Fourth Ave.

"If you haven't tried Adis' chamoy and Hot Cheetos, you're missing out," Adis owner Adilene Castro said in an Instagram message about the Fruit Roll-Up Pickle. "I don't know how to explain it, but it's the best combo."

This north-side restaurant at 8300 N. Thornydale Road is known for their hot dogs packed with toppings like elote and fire-roasted green chiles. Quesadillas, sandwiches, loaded fries and tacos made with shells shaped out of fried cheese are also on the menu.

This vegan coffee truck serves a long list of matcha, lattes, smoothies and refreshers, often with a flavorful soft top and cutesy edible images. Owner Eris Movahedi has a way of turning matcha haters into fans, especially with flavor combinations like blueberry-lavender and caramel.

Her secret menu is kept under lock and key, but she has four top-secret drinks, one in each category: matcha, latte, smoothie and refresher. Ask for a secret drink when you order and your surprise will await.

This coffee truck started in 2022 and is often parked at schools and shops around town. It's where you can get a simple iced coffee or one of their specialty drinks like the Blueberry Muffin that includes blueberry and almond syrup, oat milk, espresso and a splash of half-n-half. Essential Coffee Cart also has fruity slushes, appropriately dubbed the Arizona Sunrise and the Arizona Sunset.

Sauce was once part of Fox Restaurant Concepts, founded by Tucson native Sam Fox, until the restaurateur sold the pizza-and-pasta eatery in 2015. Sauce now has nine locations in the Phoenix area and four in Tucson. See the locations here!

Scented Leaf's tea-ristas are constantly playing in the kitchen, concocting mixture after mixture of tea, lemonade and fruity syrup. The result is often something vibrant, layered colorfully and sometimes even doused in edible glitter.

Back in 1971, Ed Irving created a recipe for Italian ice and served the creations from a truck alongside business partner Bob Greenberg. You guessed it, they are the founders of hometown favorite Eegee's, and they ran the business until selling it in 2006.

The ice comes in three standard flavors: watermelon, orange pineapple and strawberry lemonade, plus whatever the flavor of the day is. Slice & Ice's icy tea, unsweetened tea mixed with Irving's ice, was once a secret but has since made it to the official menu.
