One of the most beautiful things about Sonoran Restaurant Week is the ability to enjoy a thoughtfully curated prix-fixe menu for a fraction of the cost.
As part of the prix fixe menu, some restaurants will throw in a dessert or even a drink. For those of you like me, who’d prefer to spend the calories on a beverage rather than a dessert, this is for you.
Here are 20+ restaurants in Tucson that are offering special prix fixe menus (libations included) now until Sunday, September 15.
Also, here’s a full list of every participating business this Sonoran Restaurant Week.
As part of their $45 prix fixe menu, in addition to an appetizer and entree, you can choose between an Agave House Margarita, Oaxaca Old Fashioned, El Jardin, or a non-alcoholic beverage, the Eastside.
You know what pairs well with a nice, juicy steak? A nice, cold beer. As part of their $25 menu, you can pair a pint of beer with your sirloin cut.
If your three-course meal could use some wine, feel free to add pairings to your experience at Bellissimo for only $15 more!
Blue Willow is offering a $45 menu for two which includes a Welcome Cocktail: Here’s lookin’ at Euclid. Pretty clever name, huh? It’s made with bourbon, vanilla brown sugar, cinnamon syrup, chirping-infused honey, apple, cranberry, and thyme. You can also select a hibiscus cocktail.
This Latin-Carribbean menu comes with a suggested wine pairing or substitute for a Chela’s Margarita.
As part of the “Night Menu,” you can select any beer or wine to enjoy with your Coronet Burger.
The Coronet Restaurant, different than the Cafe, lets you choose a white, orange, or red wine. I personally recommend the Orange Meinklang, a Pinot Gris,as it should pair deliciously with the spiced squash.
Culinary Dropout has a $35 menu with your choice of a starter, entree, and dessert, which includes your choice of draft beer or house red or white wine.
Though not included as part of its three-course $35 menu, you can add their $7 drink special to your experience: Beet the Heat, made with bourbon, beet juice, fresh lemon and orange, and rosemary simple syrup.
Along with your three-course $45 menu (which includes the shishito peppers — yum!) you can choose between a glass of their featured red or white wine, sangria, or draft beer.
Now here’s a wine pairing you don’t want to miss! For an extra $20, you can pair your four-course feast with excellent regional wines.
The $15 brunch menu comes with a mimosa or Ben’s Bloody — an amazing deal! The $25 dinner menu comes with any zero proof NA cocktail, Barrio Blonde, or Bandito Margarita.
Ghini’s $35 menu for two comes with a choice of drinks or desserts. If you opt to drink your dessert, you can choose between a glass of wine (white, red, or rosé), a creative coffee, or their world-famous lavender lemonade.
Inca’s $55 menu for two includes Peruvian staples such as Papa a la Huancaina, and your option of house white or red wine, soda (I’d recommend the Inca Cola), lemonade, or iced tea.
Add a featured Sonoran Restaurant Week cocktail to your meal (vegan or otherwise). Mojo is featuring a Prickly Pear Mojito for an additional charge.
The only thing that can make PY’s decadent menu better is by adding their $25 beverage pairing. 10/10 recommend!
Add a featured Sonoran Restaurant Week spritzer, cocktail, or sangria to your dining experience! North has more than seven options to choose from.
The $45 dinig experience not only features the Tucson famous Elote Arnacini, but you can also select a glass of wine from their featured selections.
Wildflower is hosting a three-course menu that also includes a glass of featured red or white wine OR upgrade your glass of wine to a bottle for only $15. A bargain, truly.
For breakfast, your meal includes a prickly pear mimosa and graduates to a prickly pear margarita for lunch.
Though it’s not included in the menu, you can try a Gin & Juice by Snoop & Dre for just $5 All Sonoran Restaurant Week Long!
If you’d prefer to drink your dessert, Arizona Inn is the place to be! For dessert, you can choose between Hot Chocolate Créme Brulee, Churro Cheesecake, Sweet Corn Ice Cream, or a Blueberry Lemon Drop or Hugo Spritz.
I’m a bit (a lot) biased because my husband works here (Hi, Stephen!), but Hacienda del Sol has arguably one of the best Sonoran Restaurant Week deals. You have three choices to select an appetizer and entree from — six possibilities! And on top of that, you can add two Mexican wine pairings for only $10.
For the low price of $25, treat yourself to two grilled beef ribs served with refried beans, grilled onions and green chiles, potatoes, and flour tortillas, and your choice of a beer or a non-alcoholic drink.
Your three-course $35 experience wouldn’t be complete without the Sonoran Sunset! This is Redbird’s mocktail made with made peach puree, fresh squeezed OJ, Fresh lime juice, house grenadine, club soda, mint.
Like last year, we created an interactive map to help you plan your week.
