Fini’s Landing reopens its dining room & patio seating

Fini’s Landing reopens its dining room & patio seating

Aug 11, 20201 min read

After closing the dining room and resorting to takeout only, Fini’s Landing has reopened for dine-in from 11 a.m. – 9 p.m. daily.

The restaurant has been offering to-go for a little more than a month now, and since then it’s been prepping the dining room and patios to comply with proper social distancing measures.

In addition to the tacos, wings, oysters, nachos, Sonoran-style hotdogs, and burgers, a “Reverse Happy Hour” is in full effect from 7 – 9 p.m. daily.

Doug Finical and Scott Mencke, who have been friends since their University of Arizona days, opened Fini’s Landing in Tucson back in 2012.

Fini’s Landing is located at 5689 N. Swan Rd., on the northwest corner of Sunrise Drive and Swan Road. For more information, call (520) 299-1010 or visit finislanding.com.

More about Matt

At 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.
