“Flavortown” is coming out of the screen and happening in real life this Sunday in Glendale, Arizona before the Super Bowl.
The Flavortown Tailgate is hosting Arizona restaurant pop-ups that have all been featured on “Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives” — most just call it Triple-D. The Tucson restaurants joining and representing the incredible cuisine Tucson offers are Renee’s, Tumerico, and Inca’s Peruvian Cuisine, which will be serving the Lomo Saltado — a featured dish at Guy Fieri’s big event.
“Our restaurant was featured on a ‘Triple-D’ episode in 2019,” said Fatima Campos of Inca’s Peruvian Cuisine. “They invited us to participate at the tailgate and it’s a privilege that Guy Fieri gave us this important selection.”
“On the day of the Super Bowl, we will be open from 11:30 until 4 p.m.,” she said. “It’s within walking distance of the stadium.” The big tailgate party is across the street from State Farm Stadium (where the Super Bowl is happening) at 9191 Cardinals Way in Glendale.
Having Lomo Saltado during the Super Bowl in Tucson
Also, if you’re not heading up to Phoenix for the Super Bowl, like many of us here in Tucson, Inca’s Peruvian Cuisine is one of the many local restaurants offering meals to enjoy at home. Inca’s is now taking orders for its famous Lomo Saltado dish as a giant to-go platter for $59.99.
“We are making it in a much larger portion so everybody can enjoy watching the Super Bowl and enjoy the Lomo Saltado at the same time,” said Campos.
You oughta act fast, though, because the big game is right around the corner and you’ll need to get your order in by Saturday, February 11.
Inca’s Peruvian Cuisine is located at 6878 E. Sunrise Dr. #130. For more information, visit incasperuviancuisine.com. Check out our article, “3 Local restaurants join ‘Guy Fieri’s Flavortown Tailgate’ in Phoenix.”

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.
