With a menu that knows no boundaries and wild architectural touches that include flames issuing from torches atop the building and faux tree trunks in the bar, Firecracker is one of Tucson's liveliest restaurants. Hip decor aside, it's the large portions and reasonable prices that keep people coming back. The spicy vegetarian lettuce-cup appetizers (sort of roll-your-own burritos) are a fun finger-food starter. Seafood is definitely the strong suit here, and the wok-charred chunks of salmon covered with cilantro pesto are just about the best thing on the menu.
