On Tuesday July 8th and July 15th, Zinburger will team up with Lagunitas Brewing to offer two four-course dinners, pairing award-winning fare with unique California crafted brews. A rep from the brewery will be on tap to walk guests through the pairings for each course on the menu, which looks something like this:

Onion Rings, paired with Lagunitas Pils Czech Style Pilsner
The Farm Salad, paired with Lagunitas Daytime Fractional IPA
Zinburger Slider and Chuck Norris Slider, paired with Lagunitas IPA
Stout Cake, paired with Lagunitas Censored Rich Copper Ale

Zinburger’s mid-town location, 6390 E. Grant Rd., will host the dinner on July 8th and the eatery’s north-side location, 1865 E. River Rd., will serve as destination for the July 15th dinner. Both events will begin at 6 pm and cost $35 per person.

Zinburger centers on an American staple, gourmet burgers and handpicked wine. For more info visit www.foxrc.com.

Where to eat & drink at the Mercado District in 2026✨

@Mercadodistricttucson sits at the westernmost stop of the Sun Link streetcar, about a mile from downtown. The district now spans four properties: the Spanish colonial-style Mercado San Agustín, the shipping container-based MSA Annex, The Monier, and The Bautista, a mixed-use development under construction at 165 S. Linda Ave. The Bautista will add a public plaza, underground parking, and additional commercial space along the Santa Cruz River.

Both courtyards allow dogs on leash and operate as open-air spaces with shared seating throughout. A leisurely visit easily spans multiple stops.

@Seiscantina has permanently closed its Joesler Village location at 1765 E. River Rd., the Muñoz family announced today.

Three Seis Kitchen locations remain open at Tanque Verde Road, Oro Valley, and Mercado San Agustín. The family says guests can still find their favorite dishes and familiar faces at the remaining locations.

“It is with heavy hearts that we share some bittersweet news. After much reflection, we have made the difficult decision to permanently close our Joesler Village newly rebranded Cantina Location. Saying goodbye to the regular guests who became faces we looked forward to seeing every week, we are truly sorry that we cannot continue serving you here. You turned a simple dining room into a vibrant community gathering place, and for that, we will be forever grateful.”

On a hierarchical tier list of comfort food, mac and cheese ranks among the top. An ideal mac and cheese blends rich creaminess with a kiss of crunch. A velvety cheese sauce coats every noodle without being lumpy or gloppy. Chefs use blend of artisanal cheeses to create depth and sharpness. Roasted poblano, salty cured meat, and crunchy breadcrumbs add texture and complexity without overwhelming the dish. The right pasta shape, such as cavatappi or shells, helps the sauce adhere better than standard elbow macaroni and offers a more toothsome bite.

In this list, we highlight some of the spots with stand-out mac and cheese in Tucson. Share your favorites with us in the comments.🧀
