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.
Agave House
943 E. University Blvd. #171
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.
Barrio Brewing Company
800 E. 16th St.
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.
Bellissimo
5655 W. Valencia Rd.
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
2616 N. Campbell Ave.
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.
Chela’s Latin Cuisine
256 E. Congress St.
This Latin-Carribbean menu comes with a suggested wine pairing or substitute for a Chela’s Margarita.
Coronet Cafe
353 S. Meyer Ave.
As part of the “Night Menu,” you can select any beer or wine to enjoy with your Coronet Burger.
The Coronet
353 S. Meyer Ave.
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
2543 E. Grant Rd.
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.
Dante’s Fire
2526 E. Grant Rd.
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.
Doughbird
960 N. Campbell Ave. #160
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.
Flying V Bar & Grill
7000 N. Resort Dr.
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.
Gentle Ben’s
865 E. University Blvd.
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 French Caffe
1803 E. Prince Rd.
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 Peruvian Cuisine
6878 E Sunrise Dr.
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.
Mojo Cuban Kitchen
1929 E. Grant Rd.
Add a featured Sonoran Restaurant Week cocktail to your meal (vegan or otherwise). Mojo is featuring a Prickly Pear Mojito for an additional charge.
PY Steakhouse
5655 W. Valencia Rd.
The only thing that can make PY’s decadent menu better is by adding their $25 beverage pairing. 10/10 recommend!
North Italia
2995 E. Skyline Dr.
Add a featured Sonoran Restaurant Week spritzer, cocktail, or sangria to your dining experience! North has more than seven options to choose from.
Zio Peppe
6502 E. Tanque Verde Rd.
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
7037 N. Oracle Rd.
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.

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!
The Arizona Inn
2200 E. Elm St.
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.
Terraza Garden Patio & Lounge at Hacienda del Sol Guest Ranch Resort
5501 N. Hacienda Del Sol Rd.
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.
Sonora Moonshine Co.
124 E. Broadway Blvd.
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.
Redbird Scratch Kitchen + Bar
6444 N. Oracle Rd.
