Tacos and beer. Beer and tacos. It doesn’t matter the order — it’s a combination some folks dream about (I know I’m not alone on this).
Button Brew House is hosting the inaugural Taco Takedown on Saturday, April 20 from 2 – 5 p.m. at 6800 N. Camino Martin #160. This is the first-ever event of its kind at the Marana brewery, too, which is nearly always hosting events at the taproom.
At the Taco Takedown, there will be a first, second, and third place “Judge’s Winners” and a “People’s Choice” award that everyone else who’s attending can vote on.
The “Judges Winners” will be determined by a panel of three judges — Todd Button of Button Brew House, Terry Kyte of Bisbee Breakfast Club, and Gabe Ceniceros of The Blacktop Grill. The “People’s Choice” award will be determined by the total amount of votes counted from the ticket holders (you).
There are only 50 tickets available for this event! Therefore, don’t dilly-dally for too long before you purchase your tickets, which are $30 per person. Your ticket grants you six tacos and the opportunity to vote!

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.
