In October 2022, Mojo Cuban Kitchen & Rum Bar opened its doors near the corner of Grant Road and Campbell Avenue, bringing the tastes, sounds, and atmosphere of Havana to Tucson. If you still haven’t been by, Mojo’s menu, which is pronounced mo-ho and means “Caribbean garlic sauce” in Spanish, is a nod to Cuban culinary traditions with a taste of other modern expressions, too.
Expect that same flair with the brand-new brunch menu that’s making its debut on Saturday, April 1.
The menu is still in the final stages, but from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. on every Saturday and Sunday, Mojo will be delivering dishes like its Cuban-Style French Toast. The dish is made with Cuban bread, rum, cinnamon, and freshly cracked egg batter. It’s then topped with guava, sweetened condensed milk, and housemade whipped cream.
Any of the dishes that make their way to the final brunch menu will go nicely with Mojo’s unique cocktail menu.
At the full-service bar, prepare yourself for a collection of rums designed both for sipping and mixing up traditional cocktails. Mojitos, Cuba Libres, Piña Coladas, and Daquiris — all drinks Ernest Hemingway would’ve enjoyed while living near Havana.
Again, brunch is only available Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. The restaurant’s regular hours of operation are 11 a.m. – 10 p.m. on Monday – Friday, 9 a.m. – 10 p.m. on Saturday, and 10 a.m. – 9 p.m. on Sunday.

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.
