Santa Cruz Chili & Spice Co.

About

Gene and Judy England started Santa Cruz Chili & Spice in 1943, and their daughter Judy England Neubauer runs it today. The shop fills three small rooms south of Tubac: a market, a book room and a little ranch museum. The chili paste and chili powder, made from Anaheim chilis, are what people stock up on. There are also spice blends, salsas, Mexican vanilla and Southwest cookbooks. It's closed Sundays, so plan around that.
