Co-Working Kitchen Space MakerGalley In The Works

If there’s one thing I’ve heard countless would-be and existing caterers, food truck operators, and food artisans ask me for advice or information on, it’s about commercial kitchen space. Apparently it’s quite limited.

Fortunately, a new project in the works, MakerGalley, is hoping to put a dent in the problem.

Labeled a “co-working space for caterers, food trucks and foodies,” MakerGalley will provide “a health department approved kitchen, dry storage, cold storage and resources to develop and grow.”

Currently in the planning phase, they’re hoping to bring a solid amount of commercial kitchen space to Tucson.

If you’re interested, or know someone that might be, direct them to MakerGalley’s sign up page to get on the list.

@Asaditoszulmyta started with a tent and a grill on Tucson’s south side. Now, a year later, the Salvadoran food stand has grown into a food truck, a Central American market, and a gathering place for Tucson’s Latin American community.

Stop by Asaditos Zulmyta for their grand opening and Central American Independence Day celebration on Sept 12th from 7-10pm! Enjoy free aguas frescas, specials, a DJ, and more. 

Don’t forget to walk over and grab a coffee at @Redcaptaincoffee!

@Sonoranrestaurantweek runs from September 4 through 13, 2026, and it’s the perfect excuse to pair a day of Tucson sightseeing with a prix fixe meal. Since the Old Pueblo packs desert trails, historic missions, art districts, and a UNESCO City of Gastronomy designation into one metro area, visitors can easily build a full day around any interest and land near a Restaurant Week stop when it’s time to eat.

Swipe to see six itineraries built around Tucson’s core attractions, each paired with nearby restaurants participating in this year’s event. Menus and prices are subject to change, so it’s worth confirming details on the Sonoran Restaurant Week website before heading out.@Sonoranrestaurantweek runs from September 4 through 13, 2026, and it’s the perfect excuse to pair a day of Tucson sightseeing with a prix fixe meal.
