The story
PY Steakhouse, at 5655 West Valencia Road in Tucson, Arizona, is a steakhouse inside Casino Del Sol that Forbes Travel Guide named Recommended for 2026. The restaurant serves aged prime cuts and fresh seafood in a dining room set apart from the casino floor.
Carlos Ochoa, the Chef de Cuisine, was born in Cananea, Sonora, Mexico. He grew up eating produce from his grandmother's garden and learned butchery from his uncles. He trained at an Italian restaurant in Chicago, then staged at Per se and Alinea. Since settling in Tucson, he has cooked with ingredients native to the Sonoran Desert.
The menu centers on steaks served with a "rainbow" of house-made sauces, and it also includes salads, tapas, seafood and seasonal plates such as Australian lamb and roasted chicken. Prime rib is served on Wednesdays with grilled asparagus and mashed potato for $45. A separate private dining room, decorated in wine-cellar style, hosts special events. Wine Spectator gave PY its 2024 Best of Award of Excellence, and the PY Bar offers classic and signature cocktails just outside the main room.
