TallBoys and La Cocina have officially reopened on the patio and inside the former Dunk Monk Pub after a successful soft opening weekend at 201 N. Court Ave.
Back in March 2020, Jo Schneider and her two sons Eli and Ben temporarily shut the doors to TallBoys, but then created the new concept dubbed as LaCo — meaning “Love and Community” — in November 2020.
“We had a beautiful soft opening and are so excited to welcome the community back into LaCo and TallBoys,” said Ben Schneider.
What’s new at 201 N. Court Ave?
The new take on the restaurant allowed them to share the beautiful patio, and in turn, serve dishes from both menus. Now, TallBoys is also nestled inside the nifty Dusty Monk spot — providing eaters some extra seating if they’re not seeking patio views.
They’re currently serving a brunch menu with half of it being La Cocina items and the other half TallBoys, while a wider menu throughout the entire restaurant is available later in the day.
With the familiar neon sign and vinyl spinning behind the bar, which has cocktails, beer, and drinks galore, walk-up counter service is what you can expect when ordering food. Outside on the patio, they’re offering table service for those enjoying their bites near the turtle and fish-filled pond.
Hours of operation
TallBoy is offering a brunch menu from 9 a.m – 3 p.m. daily, a dinner menu from 5 – 9 p.m.on Tuesday – Thursday, a dinner menu from 5 – 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and then a 3 – 5 p.m. Happy Hour on Tuesday – Saturday.
TallBoys and La Cocina are located at 201 N. Court Ave. For more information, visit lacotucson.com or follow TallBoys on Facebook and Instagram.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
