Have you ever wanted to try something you don’t easily have access to?
Elvira’s is hosting a three-course “Mezcal Carreño Pairing Dinner” from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, August 1.
The dinner will feature a lineup from Mezcal Carreño and three tasty dishes that are inspired by the flavors of Oaxaca. Plus, upon arrival, you’ll be greeted with a Welcome Cocktail.
Seats are $60 per person and you’ll want to grab your seats sooner than later, being that the previous mezcal dinner sold out rather quickly.

- Empenada – stuffed with fresh epazote and Requesón cheese
Second Course
- Mole Rojo Chicken Thigh – marinated with mezcal, served over a gordita, and flavored with gusano and grasshopper
Third Course

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.
