Sonoran Restaurant Week (SRW), a 10-day celebration of Tucson’s incredible restaurant scene, is returning to Tucson on September 6-15 to showcase dozens of Tucson’s finest locally owned, most diverse culinary venues.
Now in its sixth year, some key changes have been made to make the event more experiential and accessible, including:
- All menus are discounted by 25%, giving you a chance to explore more (for less)
- A new website makes it easier to filter through participating restaurants by cuisine, menu price, Tucson City of Gastronomy certifications, and more
- On each of the ten nights of SRW, one restaurant hand-picked by Tucson Foodie will be hosting a special private dinner (separate from their SRW menu)
“Sonoran Restaurant Week is important not only because it’s an opportunity for both local foodies and visitors to explore all that Tucson, Arizona has to offer, but also because it drives over $3 million in additional revenue to local restaurants at a time when business is often slow,” said Shane Reiser, Head Foodie at Tucson Foodie.
Like last year, we created an interactive map to help you plan out your week.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
