Why This Week Matters

Sonoran Restaurant Week is brought to Tucson by Tucson Foodie with the support of community partners like Visit Tucson, Rio Nuevo, and Tucson Weekly. It’s both a feast and a celebration—bringing locals and visitors alike deeper into the heart of Tucson’s culinary culture.

As Tucson Foodie publisher Shane Reiser puts it:

“Tucson is an incredible city of gastronomy… You don’t find new, exciting stuff if you don’t step outside your routine.”
