Time and time again, restaurants can outgrow their current spot and situation and then move on to bigger buildings to better serve their guests. Then, sometimes restaurants move to a totally different side of town and your whole world is flipped upside down.
However, that’s not the case with El Antojo Poblano and its newest move.
The popular food cart is hosting the grand opening of its new brick-and-mortar restaurant on Thursday, February 9. It’s actually near the location they’ve already been serving at since 2019 — now it’s in a much larger building at 1108 W. St. Mary’s Rd.
“Without the support of our clients and friends, this wouldn’t have been possible,” the crew behind the restaurant shared on Instagram. “This is for all of you.”
If you haven’t had a chance to stop by the food cart prior to the grand opening of the brick-and-mortar restaurant, the Cemita is a must-try along with the Chalupas Poblanas, Gorditas Rellanas, and the Tacos Ahogados.
Starting Thursday, February 9, the restaurant will be open from 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. on Monday-Thursday and 8 a.m. – 9 p.m. on Friday-Saturday (closed on Sunday).
El Antojo Poblano is now located at 1108 W. St. Mary’s Rd. For more information, visit el-antojo-poblano.square.site and follow Al Antojo Poblano 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.
