If Fine Dining is what you’re looking for, Tucson Trolley Tours has your back.
Downtown Maynards

400 N Toole Ave
520-545-0577
Maynards offers what Tucson fine dining is all about. Great service, spectacular ambiance and exceptional food selections. If you arrive early (before your friends) make sure to take a seat at the bar and enjoy one of their scrumptious drinks. I had an Amoroso Sour and it was by the best one I ever had. After you finish (if you can) your amazing dinner, you must have the chocolate torte for dessert. Be prepared to share, because you won’t be able to finish it by yourself!
Charro Steak

188 E Broadway Blvd
520-485-1922
Run by the same family as the El Charro Mexican Restaurant, you can expect the same high-quality fine dining service and food. You must start your meal with the Guacamole Tableside. You can order it mild or picante. (I like it hot, so I suggest picante). The steaks are all-natural cuts with no antibiotics or added hormones, so the taste explodes in your mouth. If you still have room for dessert, then I would suggest the Dulceria Sample Board, so that your entire table can enjoy each of the wonderful desserts.
Charro Del Rey – Seafood

178 E Broadway Blvd

Charrro Del Rey is part of the Charro Restaurant Family, located next door from Charro Steak. The portions are very generous and delectable. The paired sauces compliment the dishes perfectly. I definitely recommend that you end the evening with the Champagne Fried Strawberries. They are topped with a whiskey cream glaze! It’s light and tasty!
