October 29-November 4, 2026
$2 oysters, $3 tacos, half-price wine, $20 guac-and-wine, industry discounts, and one South Scottsdale grand-opening deal.
Eating out in Scottsdale can get expensive quickly.
So every week we look for deals that actually make us stop scrolling.
This week we found everything from $2 oysters at Elvira’s and $2.50 oysters at Buck & Rider to a $20 wine-and-guacamole deal at The Mission, half-price bottles of wine, an all-night happy hour, and even 20% off at the brand-new South Scottsdale Sprouts.
Here are 10 Scottsdale food and dining deals worth knowing this week.
🦪 1. Elvira’s DC Ranch - $2 Oysters + $3 Tacos

🌮 Tacos starting at $3 each
🍷 Wine - $9

The restaurant’s current website confirms the daily 4-6 p.m. happy hour, and Elvira’s own current promotion lays out the pricing above.
📍 20825 N. Pima Road, Suite H110
The deal:
$2 oysters + tacos from $3
For DC Ranch, those are some pretty aggressive happy-hour prices.

The deal:
$3 tacos + $7 margaritas
Sometimes the classics stay on the list because they are still genuinely good deals.
🍴 FORKING SCOTTSDALE’S TAKE
Three deals jumped out this week.
🥇 Elvira’s - $2 oysters
Two-dollar oysters at a restaurant as polished as Elvira’s is tough to ignore.
And tacos starting at $3 make it easy to turn happy hour into dinner.
🥈 The Mission - $20 wine + guacamole bundle
A bottle of wine, guacamole, salsa, and chips for $20 at Kierland?
That one almost sounds like somebody forgot to update the price.
But The Mission is currently advertising it.
🥉 Sprouts - 20% off
Yes, we know it is a grocery store.
But 20% off a full grocery purchase during opening weekend could save more money than almost anything else on this list.
And our sleeper pick:
CALA.
Three-dollar oysters, shrimp, and scallop crudo plus $9 cocktails is one of the stronger everyday happy hours in Old Town right now.
Deals, restrictions, and pricing can change, so we recommend confirming directly with the restaurant before you go.
