Earlier this month, A Webooo! Mexican Bar and Grill opened at 605 N. Fourth Ave., bringing mariscos, birria, and karaoke to the area.
The new concept is located inside the former Magpies spot, which had been dishing out pizzas in the space for more than 30 years before closing in May 2024.
What’s to eat?
There’s a lot to talk about on the menu, and you’re in luck if you’re a seafood lover here in the dusty desert. There’s a nifty lineup of fish, shrimp, aguachile, etc. and, for those looking for something fun, disassembling the torre de marisco — a piled-high tower of seafood surrounded by tortilla chips — should be on your list.
Tacos are served a la carte or in threes — carne asada, pollo asado, quesabirria, pescado, and more.
The tacos governador are one of their specialties: marinated shrimp that’s topped with melted cheese. For an oceanic combo, check out the taco a webooo! — a folded treasure chest of beer-battered shrimp and fish.
Sonoran hot dogs, chile rellenos, enchiladas, and even a burger section are on menu. The Mexican burger is a mighty meal topped with spicy mayo, chile verde, bacon, melted cheese, lettuce, avocado, tomatoes, and onion. Then, for a little bit of both worlds, the surf and turf burger shares a bun with a handful of shrimp.
Therefore, there’s a lot to try at the new concept on Fourth Avenue.

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.
