Topping this year's list in the No. 1 spot is Tumerico in
Tucson, Ariz. The restaurant's inventive, vegetarian Latin food
offers a mouthwatering taste of home from Chef and Owner Wendy
Garcia, a James Beard Award semi-finalist. Yelpers regularly keep
an eye on the chalkboard menu that changes daily based on seasonal
availability, such as salsa made from Tucson-grown chiltepin chiles
and pitaya (Mexican dragon fruit) or nopalitos (made from prickly
pear cactus).
“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,” said Tara Lewis, Yelp’s
Trend Expert. “This year’s list embraces the unique tastes of our
users and spotlights the beloved hidden gems across local
communities.”
Yelp’s Top 100 Places to Eat, generated through a combination of
community submissions and data, gives a unique perspective on what
diners are craving across the country. This year, the list sees
overwhelming representation from Asian, Asian Fusion, and Southeast
Asian restaurants, making up 25 percent of the list. Yelpers are
also loving noodle restaurants like Menya Rui (#2) in St. Louis,
which serves more than 200 bowls a day of decadent noodles and
broth. While Asian street foods remain popular, diners discovered
and ranked more Korean places to eat like O’Kims (#58) cooking up
authentic Korean cuisine in Honolulu.
Since its 2014 debut, the list has recognized more than 750
establishments across more than 380 cities, shining a light on
beloved local businesses, while driving more foot traffic and
revenue for their establishments. With 18 restaurants in the
collection, California maintained its spot with the largest share
of restaurants on the list. Florida followed with 13 restaurants
and Arizona and Texas both have eight spots across their respective
states. Nevada rounds out the top five most represented states on
the list with six eateries.
While Asian cuisines were the most represented, this year’s list
includes a diverse range of cuisines — from a beloved Mexican
eatery (and 2022’s top spot), Cocina Madrigal (#52) in Phoenix with
more than 4,100 reviews on Yelp, to EDOBOY (#44) in Orlando,
featuring a standing sushi bar that only accommodates eight people
at a time, as well as the unexpected Gino’s Deli Stop N Buy (#9) in
San Antonio famous for its Philly cheesesteaks and perfectly made
burgers.
Yelp’s engaged community of locals who share their opinions and
reviews is what enables its community to connect with great local
and affordable businesses – more than 85% of the businesses on the
list are priced under 30 dollars per person.

determine the top restaurants by ratings, number of reviews, and
volume of submissions, and finalized the rankings with the
expertise of our Community Managers.
