Martin Fontes shares how spending time in the kitchen with his relatives as a young boy turned quality family time into a passion when he crafts mouthwateringly delicious and nutritious food at Martin's Comida Chingon at 555 N. 4th Ave. in Tucson, Arizona. Fontes has a personality as big as the flavors in his food. He started his restaurant back in 2001 with $60. Since then, he has attracted a steady stream of local regulars and travelers from other states and countries.
