A Spanish friend of mine recommended this restaurant to us for tapas, something my husband and I both really love. We were actually a bit disappointed by some of the tapas - the coco (flatbread) and fried manchego were not quite what we expected. However, the duck tacos (tacos de pato) were simply out of this world and the wine... More

To start with, we were running late for a reservation that I could not even remember the exact time of. I was quite certain that there would be no chance of getting in when we arrived as this very trendy and hip restaurant was really busy. Debra, the owner greeted us and could not have been more sweet or gracious.... More

We wanted to try out this new restaurant with friends and had a wonderful evening. The food was innovative and tasty. The wine list by the glass was limited, but we found something that we enjoyed.

The cerviche was outstanding. My husband had the short ribs which was delicious and the meat soooo tender. No knife needed. They serve my favorite drink these days...piquito picante...which is very refreshing and has a bit of a kick. Whatever I have ordered has been wonderful...cannot wait to go back!!! More

Small, quaint and refreshing. Great appetizers and ceviche. Friendly service. It's small and intimate, make reservations, there aren't many tables. It's hard to say what to try, it's all good. We like to "graze" on the appetizers; dates stuffed with chorizo, mussels in saffron, the bikini Contigo (not just a grilled cheese sandwich). Our favorite entrees are the chuletas chimichurri...

Miami comes to Tucson The early success of Contigo may in fact be another example of a shooting star in Tucson, This was our second visit and the first was pleasant. This time , not so much. To start we had a 7.30 reservation. On arrival we were old a few minutes. We were invited to the bar where we... More
