Over the years, the Marana Stockyards has had a cafe located inside of the building under the name as The Feedlot Cafe and Cattleman’s Cafe. Now, the team behind the latest concept, Luna Cafe, is excited to be officially open for breakfast (served all day) and lunch at 14075 W. Kirby Hughes Rd.
Currently, the brand-new cafe is open from 7 a.m. – 2 p.m. on Tuesday, 7 a.m. – 6 p.m. on Wednesday, 7 a.m. – 2 p.m. on Thursday – Sunday, and closed Monday.
The menu includes breakfast staples like huevos rancheros, chilaquiles, a Classic Egg Sandwich, and then the Classic Breakfast plate that includes two eggs, your choice of two strips of bacon or sausage links, and then served with potatoes and your choice of toast (move over, Denny’s, there’s a new Grand Slam in town — minus the pancakes).
Speaking of pancakes and sweet breakfast items, they have your classic buttermilk pancakes and French toast. However, they have a couple of crafty creations like the Tres Leches Pancakes — three pancakes topped with vanilla sauce and dulce de leche caramel sauce — and Churro French Toast, which is two slices served with two eggs any style.
Also, they offer weekly specials. For their first week in business, Luna Cafe has a $14 Country Fried Steak plate with two eggs, potatoes, and toast. For lunch there have a three-tacos plate (chicharrones) with refried beans for $13.
For lunch, there are a few burgers like the Ultimate Burger (beef patty, bacon, cheese, sunnyside up egg), tortas, Grandma’s Grilled Cheese, a taco salad, and more. You can check out their full menu online.
The Marana Stockyards has been family owned and operated since 1993 and host live auctions on Wednesdays (the cafe is open later on these days to accomodate).
Luna Cafe is located at 14075 W. Kirby Hughes Rd. For more information, follow Luna Cafe on 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.
