Westin La Paloma Restaurants

In our humble opinion, you have to eat at least once at Contigo on La Paloma property. The restaurant is lovely, and the food is delicious. Spanish and Latin American fusion – the combination is incredible!

*Terraza Garden Patio and Lounge – this is located down the road from La Paloma in the Hacienda del Sol property. It’s very good, and the property is interesting to explore. It had once been a boarding school for the upper crust daughters of East Coast business magnates. A definite must-visit and must-try. La Paloma has a shuttle that will take and pick you up from here

*Charrovida – OMG! What can we say about Charrovida! It’s our go-to restaurant whenever we’re in Tucson. Healthy and fresh choices – Vegan and G/F options. We highly recommend! I think you’ll have to Uber it here – It may be outside the range of the hotel shuttle.

*Guadalajara Original Grill – an old school Mexican restaurant in Tucson. The food is delicious, the ambiance is fun and lively. A must stop for Mexican food while you’re in Tucson.

*Seis Kitchen – another one of our favorites. Similar to Chipotle in that you order at the counter and they bring your food to you, but way better than Chipotle – It’s another of our stops each year when we are in Tucson.
