Tres – a new restaurant and bar specializing in the flavors of the American Southwest, Spain, and the Mediterranean – opens at 3 p.m. today in Discovery Office Park in south Tempe.
The office park is located on the west side of Price about a quarter mile south of Guadalupe in Tempe,
“We are combining traditional and familiar southwestern and Mexican flavors with the light, healthy and popular dishes found in the Mediterranean region,’’ executive chef Steven Zimmerman says.
