It’s your last chance to catch this year’s seasonal dining series.

Cafe Botanica is serving up its final installment of “Food Without Borders” from 6 – 8 p.m. on Thursday, September 19.

This dinner’s all about the amazing (and ever-so-tasty taco), too.

Erika Pacheco and Rod Miller from E&R Pork are whipping up something special to bring in the traditional and modern recipes from the region. The menu features local ingredients like wild-caught Baja fish and shrimp, pork and beef, a mighty group of native fruits and vegetables, and tortillas — of course.

Also, when you’re honoring the taco, it’s hard not to honor a nice, cold cerveza.

Crooked Tooth Brewing Company has also been added to the menu and you’ll have the option to choose from a couple of their brews.

Tickets are $75 per person and you can make a reservation by calling (520) 445-5394.
