To some, it’s a meal that brings families and friends together around the table, to others it’s great for hangovers on Sunday mornings, and then there’s those who have never eaten it before due to its ingredients. If you’re not part of the latter, there is an event you ought to put on your calendars.
The luchador-themed restaurant, Buena Vida, is offering all-you-can-eat Menudo from 7 a.m. – 8 p.m. on Saturday, January 1.
That’s right — as much as you can stuff in your belly.
Buena Vida recently opened its doors back in August 2021 and has since made it known that community is what not only makes their world go ’round, but the culinary world, too. In the past four months, the Buena Vida crew has hosted multiple events like Lucha Libre wrestling, poetry jams, and toy drives.
Next up: Menudo galore and it happens to be the morning of New Year’s Day. Tickets are $14 for adults and $10 for the younger crowd that’s under 12-years-old.
In addition to the food, live music kicks off at 7 a.m. to keep you and your friends company.

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.
