Mother’s Day 2022 Brunch And Dinner: Reserve Now In Tucson

TUCSON, AZ — You've still got some time to plan your Mother’s Day celebration on Sunday, May 8 but if you want to take mom out for brunch or dinner, reservations are already filling up in Tucson, especially with masking and distancing restrictions nixed at most restaurants for the first Mother's Day since the start of the pandemic.

Local restaurants that stayed open through the pandemic will likely appreciate your patronage after a difficult couple of years. But some eateries may be closed for the holiday so that their employees can celebrate Mother's Day themselves. Here are some local options:

• Flora's Market Run, South Tucson
• Augustin Kitchen, Downtown Tucson
• The Cup Cafe, Downtown Tucson (Special Mother's Day brunch deal)
• Contigo Latin Kitchen, Foothills
