An outstanding dining experience! This restaurant offers modern Latin cuisine that is both sophisticated and creative, yet served in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Every dish we tried was unique, full of flavor, and beautifully presented—definitely not your traditional fare, but crafted with excellent taste.
We visited as a group of ten, and the service was impeccable. The staff was attentive, friendly, and took the time to explain each dish with great detail, making the evening even more enjoyable.
Dining on the terrace was truly memorable, with breathtaking nighttime views of Tucson that added to the warm and elegant ambiance. A perfect spot for both special occasions and casual gatherings. Highly recommended!
Incredible tapas and possibly the best chimichurro in all of Arizona! Our server, Erin, was an absolute gem. 10/10 — highly recommend!

Dinner was amazing. Service was terrific. Unfortunately there is a new parking charge by the hotel. We just wanted to enjoy dinner, but got stuck with the time consuming hassle of filling out a form online with not just our plate # but also personal information, and then get a code from the hostess to enter in order to remove the parking charge. Takes too much time, bogs down the hostess stand, and forces a collection of your personal information.

Contigo Kitchen: Breathtaking Views, Memorable Flavors, and Room for Improvement
Contigo Kitchen offers one of the most stunning dining backdrops you’ll find—perched atop a mountain with sweeping views that are worth the trip alone. If you go, do yourself a favor and request outdoor seating. The patio experience is exceptional. Inside, however, the ambiance doesn’t quite match the setting. The décor feels dated, and there’s a noticeable mustiness that detracts from the overall atmosphere.
The food was largely impressive. Most dishes were beautifully plated and full of flavor, and the drinks were equally well-crafted. However, the tuna ceviche and octopus appetizers missed the mark—both were dry, overly fishy, and lacked the freshness you'd expect from a kitchen of this caliber. I’d recommend skipping those in favor of the stronger offerings on the menu.
The biggest disappointment was the service. Despite having a reservation for outdoor seating, we were told the patio was full. Oddly, we saw several empty tables and guests leaving. After a 20-minute wait, the hostess finally seated us—only for the manager to approach abruptly, question our reservation, and demand our names again, despite the hostess already checking us in. It was an uncomfortable moment that felt unnecessary and left a poor impression.
Contigo Kitchen has the potential to be a top-tier destination. The location is unbeatable, and the food—when it hits—is excellent. But the service needs refinement to match the promise of the experience. With more attention to hospitality and consistency, this could easily become a must-visit spot.

My husband and I celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary at Contigo, and it was absolutely perfect! From the moment we arrived, the service was warm and attentive, making our evening feel extra special. The food was outstanding — every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The cocktails were just as impressive!
We especially loved the stunning views overlooking the golf course and the city lights of Tucson — such a romantic setting! It was the perfect backdrop for our anniversary celebration. We’ll definitely be back to enjoy it all again soon! 💕
The service was pretty good. The chorizo fusion burger was interesting and good, but the fries were not properly cooked. Some undercooked and a some fully cooked. The salad was like mixed greens with some thick oil. Just request an actual dressing.

Very disappointing experience. Requested outdoor seating on my reservation and was told there was none available upon arrival. Waited for over 20 minutes for an outdoor table to no avail and finally gave up and sat inside. Indoor ambiance is nonexistent, felt like more of a diner than upscale restaurant. The appetizers and cocktails were solid (the elote is excellent), however the paella was extremely disappointing. Short rib was very dry, shrimp was small, and rice was not flavorful. The server never asked how our food was or checked in during the meal. When we finally got our check I shared our feedback on the paella and the server did not seem to care at all or make any attempt to make it right. I’d recommend sitting outside for a cocktail/app but nothing else. If you can’t sit outside I’d leave.

Great experience and the food was delicious. The server was also very nice and attentive. Atmosphere was great. We sat outdoors and the view was beautiful. I would definitely come back for a special occasion or with friends visiting from out of town. The atmosphere is cozy and chic. I guess I would describe it as casual upscale. The marisco paella is recommended!!

What a fantastic place! Beautiful outside sitting with great views! Fun menu, everything from filet mignon empanadas to a mixed grill for two that we will be eating for a week! Really nice wine list as well, with some great great Spanish options -
