Baja Cafe Marana Location to Open Late November

Baja Cafe Marana Location to Open Late November

Nov 7, 20171 min read

Local breakfast joint Baja Cafe announced they are expecting to open their third location at 3930 W. Ina Rd. at the end of November.

“We actually had requests from some of our customers to have a location on the northwest side of town,” said Kim Scanlan, owner of Baja Cafe.

The space will feature about 40 seats inside with an additional 16 to 20 outside on the covered patio.

Bloody Mary fans will have to wait just a bit longer, as the liquor license is still pending. The new location’s menu will have a couple of differences from the other locations at first, but will remain overall similar.

Baja Cafe’s first location opened at 7002 E. Broadway Blvd., while the second location opened at 2970 N. Campbell Ave. The restaurant quickly gained a strong following with its varied, creative takes on Eggs Benedict and its Snickerdoodle Pancake.

“We talked about Phoenix but preferred to stay in Tucson,” Scanlan said. “We hope to catch more people in our community and appreciate the support so far.”

@Pueblovida is closing its original downtown taproom this fall, 12 years after opening, and moving next door to a larger space at 121 E. Broadway Blvd.

The new taproom will seat 100+ guests and feature 14 taps, a curated wine program and, for the first time, a restaurant. Chef Scott Girod of @Anello_pizzeria will open a new restaurant in the shared space, expected to follow the taproom’s late fall 2026 opening in early 2027.

“This taproom has always been more than four walls. It’s where we’ve celebrated milestones, introduced hundreds of new beers, watched friendships grow and built a community we’re incredibly grateful for. While we’re excited about what’s next, it’s impossible not to feel sentimental about saying goodbye to the place where it all happened.” — @Pueblovida Co-founder Linette Antillon

After 13 years, Agustín Kitchen has permanently closed its doors at Mercado San Agustín.

The space already has its next chapter lined up. Il Santo, an Italian concept from hospitality veteran Vito Prencipe and fifth-generation Tucsonan Bonnie Callahan, will take over the space.

“I leave this chapter with mixed emotions as I say goodbye to our friends, patrons and colleagues at Agustín Kitchen. It’s with gratitude and admiration that I thank our managers, chefs, staff, and purveyors both old and new for their years of collaboration. Agustin Kitchen has meant so much to so many over this time and has been a beloved anchor in the Mercado District community.” — Owner Adam Weinstein
