Arizona Kids Eat Free Restaurants

eat image by Earl Robbins from <a href='http://www.fotolia.com'>Fotolia.com</a>

Eating out can be one of the biggest expenses of a vacation, but if parents take advantage of "kids eat free" deals, they can save a few dollars. My Arizona Online suggests calling ahead to get the details, confirming how many free kids' meals are allowed per adult entree, the age limit, and when the deal is offered. Many chain restaurants have certain days when kids eat free the whole day. Keep in mind that children usually will need to order off the kids' menu in order for parents to take advantage of these family-friendly savings.

Arriba Mexican Grill

On Sundays, kids 10 and younger eat free at Arriba's, with one kid's meal per adult entree. This restaurant specializing in the use of Hatch green chile peppers from New Mexico has five locations in the Phoenix area.
