“Day of the Dead” is right around the corner so perhaps it’s a good time to celebrate the holiday with great food, margaritas, food, dancing, and memories of loved ones.
Guadalajara Grill East, over on 750 N. Kolb Rd., is hosting the Día de los Muertos Fest from 1 – 7 p.m. on Saturday, October 30.
For the holiday, they’ll have an altar de muertos set up, which will be used to remember those that have passed. Inside Guadalajara Grill, you’ll be able to eat and drink as usual, but outside you’ll find more than 30 vendors set up along with live music and even dancing from the YWCA Folklorico Group.

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.
