Taste of Marana STANDOUT Award Winners
Awards Program Honors STANDOUT Local Food
Do you love Marana’s diverse and delicious food scene? If so, you should nominate your favorite local restaurant, café, coffee shop or other food-related establishment for the Taste of Marana STANDOUT Award.
This program shines a spotlight on the great food businesses in Marana that make our community a better place and more attractive to tourists.
How does it work?
Each year, up to 10 Taste of Marana STANDOUT trophies will be awarded from the nominations submitted by community members and stakeholders. You can nominate a business for any reason that makes them stand out, such as their impact on the community, their awards from other organizations, or your positive experiences with them.
The Taste of Marana committee, composed of representatives from the Town of Marana, Discover Marana and the Marana Chamber of Commerce, will meet monthly to review the nominations and choose a STANDOUT based on their contribution to Marana’s food culture and economy. The selected winners will receive a custom-made culinary award, designed by local artist Trevor O'Tool, to display in their business.
2025 winners: Sky Rider Cafe, Al Gusto Coffee Company
2024 winners: La Olla Mexican Cafe and Boba Cucue
2023 winners: Amore (formerly Vero Amore) and Nana's Kitchen
