Contigo Latin Kitchen presents an innovative take on Latin cuisine. Located in the Tucson foothills at the Westin La Paloma Resort, the menu features an array of unique dishes from Latin America and Spain using the freshest seasonal products.

When we opened Contigo in 2010, we wanted to create the kind of restaurant that we would like to have in our neighborhood. We included tapas dishes that are perfect for sharing plus amazing Latin dishes, spectacular cocktails and wine. Today, at the Westin La Paloma, Contigo also now features stunning city views, a beautiful and inviting space, great music and a friendly and attentive team dedicated to keeping our customers happy.

Excellent experience for a first visit. We sat on the beautiful patio under a fan to stay cool. Server was excellent. Appetizers , Elote corn and stuffed dates were delicious and I highly recommend. White sangria was perfect for a warm night outside and very refreshing. We shared the meat plate dinner for two. It was delicious and there was more than enough for two. Leftovers went home with us. Most of the meat was cooked perfectly except the ribeye was well done and we asked for medium rare. Lamb chops and tenderloin were perfect and delicious. We highly recommend this restaurant and meal. We should have mentioned that the ribeye was overcooked but we didn’t. We still enjoyed the food and experience. We will be going back again and try some different entrees.

The experience during dining was outstanding. Ambiance, temperature, seating, drinks, menu item options, flavors of food, and table service are top notch. The reservation system if your party is over 8, is a bit tricky because you have to talk to an employee at Contigo. Open Table online can’t help. Leaving voice and email messages at the restaurant remained unanswered. They open at 5 pm so call around that time. Someone finally answered. It was an easy fix after that. Keep trying. Contigo was worth it!

Delicious food, fun atmosphere with beautiful views, and great service. We were moving in our daughter to UofA and made this a special occasion to meet her new roomie and mom. We shared several tapas (peppers, pork wrapped dates, cauliflower croquettes) and salads. Memorable experience!

Our 4th time dining there. It seemed that every family with an overactive child and large parties with alcohol chose that night to dine at Contigo, making it very difficult to enjoy the meal and conversation with friends.

Loved our first dining experience here. We sat outside and had an absolute perfect table overlooking the view for my husbands birthday. Food for the most part was very good. My favorite was the gambas and braised oxtail tapas. The dessert was disappointing as the churros seems stale. My son and I also got bitten by a ton of mosquitoes. I wish they had some outside for that. Otherwise our server was exceptional! Will come back again but maybe bring bug spray with me next time!

Best appetizers of any restaurant in town. There is not a lot of turnover in waitstaff as we consistently have the same waiters on every visit, and they always remember you. Food is served promptly and always to order. Highly recommend reservations as Contigos fills up rapidly.

Food and service was excellent, except salad and entrees served similtaneously. Ambiance usually good, but a large group arrived shortly after us and were boisterous. Fortunately, we don't hear well, but others around us asked to be reseated elsewhere. Normally the noise level is not bad. We've eaten here on several occasions, so this time was an exception.
