Mother’s Day 2019: Where to treat mom if you don’t plan on cooking

It’s that time of year – Mother’s Day 2019. Time to make sure your mom knows she’s number one in your heart, in case you hadn’t already been doing so in the lead up.

More likely than not, your mother prepared meals galore for you when you needed it most.  So take her out this Mother’s Day 2019 (and skip the cleanup, too).

Per usual, Tucson is home to more than enough options to give her a huge edible “I love you.” Check out the following list of restaurants to make sure you get your reservations in on time.
