The Three Amigos
Growing up in Tucson AZ, USA. Isn't it amazing the part food plays in our lives, culture, upbringing and location. Aromas, flavours, colours, dance in our past, invigorate our present and tantalize our futures. This is the story of The Three Amigos.
THE PLACE
Tucson Arizona, now the second largest city in Arizona, a South Western state in the U.S.A.
Tucson was originally founded as the Spanish military fort Presidio San Agustín del Tucsón in 1775. When Mexico gained independence from Spain in 1821, Tucson became a part of Sonora, Mexico.
The U.S. acquired Tucson and Arizona south of the Gila River from Mexico in the Gadsden Purchase between 1853 and 1854. At the time of the purchase, Tucson was a Mexican community of around 500 residents. It was these people and their descendants that helped form Tucson into the thriving city it is today.
While Tucson may have changed hands under the Gadsden Purchase, no culture has had a more substantial influence on the city than Mexico’s, and it continues to flourish and grow with each passing year.
