Southwestern cooking draws upon unique sun-soaked ingredients and the culinary influences of tumbleweeds returning from Mexican vacations. Bask in cultural interchange with today's Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of Southwestern fare and beverages at Flying V Bar & Grill in the Loews Ventana Canyon resort.
Flying V Bar & Grill's chefs forge a menu of Southwestern delicacies flanked by a selection of nearly 70 tequilas and an extensive wine list. Tableside guacamoliers mix fresh avocado with tomatoes, jalapeños, and a cassette tape of love ballads to cilantro. Baby back ribs prepare for dinner with a bath in either agave or classic glaze before tucking a corn on-the-cob boutonniere into its lapel ($15 for a half slab, $26 for a full slab). The grilled sirloin burger steps off the sizzling grill and accessorizes with roasted a New Mexico chili sombrero, pancetta earrings, and asadero cheese wedge sandals ($16). Cocktail creators pour frosty margaritas sweetened with the nectar of the prickly pear cactus for a concoction as dulcet as the tears of Roy Orbison ($9). The Flying V Bar & Grill Canyon's outdoor patio and floor-to-ceiling windows gaze out upon panoramic views of the Santa Catalina Mountains. An indoor fireplace and granite-topped bar meld rustic elements with modern flair, and have earned the restaurant a place on Zagat restaurant guide's Best Tucson Décor list.
