“None of this would be possible without the support! We have put every penny back into our business for you all to come out and enjoy. Thank you so much, Tucson, for everything.”
The team at Tanna’s Botannas — the locally-owned, flavor-packed snack destination — is hosting a grand opening (more of a reopening) of their renovated patio space on Saturday, April 26.
For the past few months, construction crews have been hard at work, turning the 4426 S. Sixth Ave. location into a hub made for hangouts, snacking, and entertainment. Named “El Patio,” the new space has plenty of shaded seating, a picnic area with turf and a water fountain, and a large dance floor.
Stop by from noon to 9 p.m. on Saturday, April 26, for the following deals:
- Free rim dips for every purchase
- Entry to win a free cart rental (a $450 value)
- The first 25 purchases get an exclusive Botanna Basket
- Chance to win a year’s supply of Tanna’s Botannas
- Chance to win a year’s supply of tortas from Thiago’s Tortas
Founded in 2020, the shop specializes in sweet, sour, and spicy treats that embody the essence of Mexican street food culture. Their signature snacks include candies coated in a blend of spices, rim dips for your beverage of choice, and other confections that have reeled in quite the following.
“We love our supporters, we love our haters — everything has pushed us to where we are today.”
In the past five years, Tanna’s Botannas has gone nationwide. They’ve teamed up with the national candy store IT’SUGAR, which is one of the largest specialty sweets shops in the U.S., as well as Spencer’s (yes, the novelty gift store).
Reminder: the Grand Opening party is at the 4426 S. Sixth Ave. location (they have another location at 954 W. Prince Rd.).

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.
