Apr 9, 20257 min read

Finding a great place to eat with the family or bringing a local meal home this Easter (Sunday, April 20) doesn’t need to be a drawn-out egg hunt. 

Whether you’re looking for a morning meal, an evening of elegance, or a quick bite with the family, there’s no need to hunt down the perfect event by yourself. We’re here to fill your Easter basket full of options. With that being said, one of the following restaurants should do just the trick for Sunday, April 20.

We’ll keep updating this list as we find more Easter events.

What if you found a golden Easter egg — and it was filled with joints or worth $100 in dispensary gift cards?

That’s just one of the surprises waiting for you at the first-ever 420 Fest, presented by Earth’s Healing, a brand-new cannabis, food, and music experience created by Tucson Foodie, Tucson Doobie, and Earth’s Healing. This exciting event takes place on Saturday, April 19, from 2–8 p.m. at the Whistle Stop Depot, a unique venue that’s been revitalized to give Tucson a fresh and exciting space to gather.

More about Matt

At 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.

More details on Tucsonfoodie.com #tucson #tucsonfoodieTwo days at @Hiltonelcon felt like the ultimate staycation. Between the pools, hot spring and cold plunge, water slide, yoga, live music, complimentary bike rentals, and their nostalgic “Summer Rewind” experience, there was always something to do. We never left the resort. 

The highlight at their on-site restaurant, Epazote Kitchen & Cocktails, was the Pollo Con Rajas - perfectly cooked chicken over a rich creamed poblano, onion, and corn mestizaje. And if you’re at their Sundance Café for breakfast, get the pozole. It’s made from a family recipe that became such a guest favorite it earned a permanent spot on the menu. 

Although El Conquistador licenses the Hilton brand, it’s owned and operated by a local company. The culinary team sources much of its meat and produce from Arizona. 

Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or just looking for an incredible dinner with Catalina Mountain views, this spot is worth adding to your list. 🌵🌞
