Souper Star

Usually, only an epic burger or a killer slice of pizza are worth a journey past your tried-and-true neighborhood favorites. That is until you have sunk a spoon in Signature Grill’s famed pozole. The stew, with pork, chilies, hominy and traditional accompaniments, like lime and onion, has quite the reputation. It is easy to taste why. It is rich and meaty, like a warm hug in a bowl and just the thing to round out a chilly day. We’re told people pop in time and time again just for a cup of pozole; it is so in-demand that Signature Grill even serves the delish dinner staple at breakfast alongside pancakes and oatmeal.

The star stew isn’t the only tastiness the resort has going for it. The plate of seared scallops with cilantro rice, prickly pear gastrique and micro salad is as delicious as it is beautiful, and the BBQ sweet potato fries prove to be an addictive side. To drink, the sunset-hued Red Sands Margarita, with Maestro Dobel, hibiscus tea, lime, agave, elderflower and Tajin, offers just enough of a spin on the classic.

Speaking of tequila, you’ll notice it has quite the presence at Starr Pass. Come 5:30 p.m. every night, resort guests are invited to the Tequila Toast on the Salud patio. Meaning, guests get to enjoy a complimentary shot of tequila (there’s a new variety each night) while savoring the sunset, the firepits and, hopefully, some new friends who are also looking for a new way to treat themselves.
