Chef Maria Mazon of BOCA, Es Teran of Borderlands Brewing Company, and the crews at each of the establishments have been making a lot of moves as of late. First, the new restaurant/taproom concept opened in the Sam Hughes neighborhood in January of this year. Next up: a brand-new restaurant concept in the Foothills.
DOS is set to open in the River Center shopping complex at East River and North Craycroft Roads in June 2023. The new restaurant is moving into the former Harvest Restaurant spot, which closed back in 2019, at 5605 E, River Rd. #201.
In the same shopping complex that has the likes of Caffe’ Torino, chef Mazon will get to showcase her sophisticated culinary skills with an upscale menu featuring dry-aged steaks and large sharable plates.
“It will be the relaxed atmosphere you expect from a brewery with the upscale food menu you come to expect from a renowned chef,” said Teran.
DOS will also feature a small store, or “tiendita,” where guests can shop for takeaway items such as Mazon’s delicious salsas, SONA tortillas, Borderlands canned goods, and much more.
Keep your eyes peeled for the final menu and other details as we creep close to the opening date in June 2023.
DOS will be located at 5605 E. River Rd. #201. For more information, follow DOS 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.
