La Chingada Cocina Mexicana, which is the sister company of The Neighborhood, has opened its downtown doors at 31 N. Scott Ave.
The new restaurant has taken over the spot that was previously occupied by Alejandro’s Cafe, which is right next door to the bistro, 47 Scott.
At the moment, La Chingada Cocina Mexicana is offering both takeout and dine-in — a great option to get things rollin’ — and they’re open daily for brunch from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. and will serve dinner exclusively from 5 – 9 p.m. on Fridays.
The menu features brunch items, like Chilaquiles Divorciados and Chicken Tortilla Soup, a pair of enchiladas to sink your teeth in, a street taco menu that comes in threes of either Camaron Capeado, Birria de Res, Avocado Chickpea, and Chicken Tinga, and a tasteful dessert combo to choose from — Flan or Churro Cheesecake.
La Chingada Cocina Mexicana is located at 31 N. Scott Ave. For more information, call (520) 207-0589 or follow them on Facebook or 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.
