Tucson Foodie’s “Monday Munchies” articles are brought to you by NatureMed.
Sometimes the munchies strike early and when they do, Baja Cafe is there for you in more ways than one. However, let’s shine a light on The Mac Daddy.
Baja Cafe specializes in hearty breakfast, brunch, and lunch dishes big enough to feed anyone dealing with the tummy grumbles that tend to happen after a recent trip to NatureMed. Besides, the day’s first meal is quite important and it should be a blast to eat, too.
In the past, we’ve dubbed The Mac Daddy “the king of comfort food.” This dish features crispy fried chipotle mac and cheese topped with smoked brisket machaca, poblanos, poached eggs, and bacon. Tomatillo green chile sauce and smoked gouda cheese add the signature Southwest flavor.
On Mondays, you can grab The Mac Daddy at the Baja Cafe locations found at 7002 E. Broadway Blvd. and 2970 N. Campbell Ave. Both locations are open daily from 6 a.m. – 2 p.m.

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.
