If you missed the first Sanar pop-up dinner by Tucson chefs Brian Smith (Acacia Real Food & Cocktails) and Dave Valencia (Agustín Kitchen), I bring you good news.

The next Sanar popup dinner will be held at 7:30pm on July 13 at Acacia Real Food & Cocktails.

Their first dinner, which was held in May and featured 15 courses with healing properties, was enough of success to warrant a second. This time around, the theme is progressive Southwest.

Here’s the menu:

  1. Aqua Chile – Shrimp/Lime
  2. Sopa De Aguacate – Avocado/Corn/Lime/Cholula/Mint
  3. Maíz Tostado – Bacon/Lime/Chipotle
  4. Chicharrón De Pato – Blackberry/Parnsip/Onion
  5. Arroz Con Pollo – Top Knot Chicken/Saffron/Relish
  6. Pastel De Frijol – Tepary Bean/Jicama/Prickly Pear/Squash Blossom
  7. Carne Asada – Hanger Steak/Avocado/Truffle/”Pico”
  8. Chorizo Con Huevo – Green Onion/Red Pepper/Cilantro
  9. Codornices En Colorado – Traditional/Modern
  10. Paleta – Coconut/Mango/Lime
  11. Mousse De Chocolate – Dulce De Leche/Cocoa/Espresso Marshmallow
  12. Raspado – Pineapple/Ice Cream

Here are the details:

  1. When: 7:30pm, July 13th
  2. Where: Acacia Real Food & Cocktails – 3001 E Skyline Dr, Tucson, Arizona 85718
  3. Cost: $75 per person

After a concert at Congress, a long shift, or a night out on Fourth Avenue, you might not want to stay up even later to cook. Thank you, late night kitchens. The options span more than just drive-thrus and dollar menus. From Sonoran hot dogs and solar-baked pizza to fresh gyros and craft cocktails with bar bites, Tucson’s late-night scene covers serious ground.

Some spots stay open past 2 a.m., while others offer late-night happy hours that make the decision even easier. This guide rounds up places to eat late in Tucson after 10 p.m., whether you need a full meal or just something to hold you over. Hours can change after this article is updated, so check ahead before you head out.

Tucson’s resorts offer some of the region’s most memorable dining, from Sonoran-inspired steakhouses to poolside grills with mountain views. Whether you’re staying overnight or stopping in for dinner, these properties make the meal part of the experience.

Additionally, the variety across these resorts featured here spans far beyond a single style of dining. Guests can settle into a fine-dining room overlooking the Santa Catalinas, grab tacos by the pool, or join a chef-led cooking class before dinner. Each property brings its own take on desert hospitality, so this guide breaks down where to eat and what makes each spot worth the trip.🧳🌞

@Thedistrict520 has taken over a Tucson address with nearly two decades of history. 

Once home to Pastiche, the space sat dark and gutted for two years after a difficult chapter that left the building severely damaged. Now, longtime Pastiche regulars Gabriel Cordova and Tracy Hien have brought 3025 N. Campbell Ave. back to life.

The result is something entirely new: a sports bar with nine 4K screens, shuffleboard, a pool table, and a scratch-cooking approach to burgers, wings, shrimp, and more.

From rebuilding the space themselves to receiving the blessing of Pastiche owner Pat Connors’ widow, Julie, the story behind The District is about more than opening a restaurant. It is about giving a wounded neighborhood landmark another chapter.
