Over the past few weeks, Borderlands Brewing Company has been quietly serving beers and dishing out chef Maria Mazon’s cuisine at 2500 E. Sixth St. Now, the taproom and restaurant is ready to host its official grand opening.

The crew at Borderlands Brewing Company will debut their brand-new satellite location on Saturday, January 21, at 3 p.m. A live mariachi band will also be there to set the mood for the fiesta.

It’s been 11 years since the original location opened its doors and the new spot in the Sam Hughes neighborhood oughta be a popular spot — for those in the neighborhood and to those traveling from afar.

Plenty to drink & eat

No brewing will be done at this new location, but 20 taps of their own craft beer will be featured along with rotating local guest beers. Additionally, folks can dabble with their wine selection, boozy slushies, craft cocktails, and non-alcoholic aguas frescas.

Perhaps one of the most exciting additions to the taproom is the partnership between Borderland’s Brewing Company and award-winning chef, Maria Mazon. Mazon, known for her restaurant BOCA by Chef Maria Mazon, has created a new menu for the location — she’s really put her heart into every dish.

Read our November 2022 article, “Borderlands Brewing & BOCA’s Maria Mazon are cooking up 3 new concepts.”

Below is a look at the food menu Mazon’s crafted into fruition.
