The Spotlight on El Mezquite Grill - Doubletree by Hilton Downtown TCC

Bold Mexican Flavors Just Steps from the Stage

Located inside the DoubleTree by Hilton in downtown Tucson, El Mezquite Grill brings a modern twist to traditional Mexican cuisine. Just minutes from Tucson’s top concert venues and the Tucson Convention Center, this sleek yet laid-back spot is ideal for grabbing a bite before the show. With tall ceilings, warm wood accents, and a relaxed southwestern vibe, it’s a welcoming space that blends comfort with style.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers appreciate El Mezquite Grill for its prime downtown location, especially if you're attending an event at the convention center right across the street. The restaurant offers efficient service and a full bar, making it easy to grab tacos, fajitas, or margaritas without rushing. The atmosphere strikes the right balance — lively but not too loud — so you can chat with friends before heading to the venue.
