Over the past few years, Marana’s Gladden Farms area has been growing along the stretch of Tangerine and Lon Adams Roads. Adding to the bustling corner, the Chandler-based Thai Chili 2 Go will open this summer at the Gladden Farms Commercial Center.
The fast-casual concept started back in 2015 in Chandler, launched by founder Akshat Sethi, and has since opened 15 other locations in the Phoenix area.
The Marana location will be its first to branch down south to the Tucson area.
Thai Chili 2 Go will be located in the plaza anchored by the shiny new 125,000-square-foot Fry’s Marketplace that opened last winter at 11350 W. Tangerine Rd. — nearly 20 years after it was first proposed.
Menu-wise, it’s all about bold Thai flavors — five different curries (including the go-to red, green, and yellow), noodle and rice dishes like pad thai, a few soups and apps, and the flexibility to go vegan, gluten-free, or add extra protein.
Here’s a bonus: everything on the menu is dairy-free, and most entrées are between $4 and $15 each.
“At Thai Chili 2 Go, we believe there is nothing more intimate than the food we put into our bodies. Using fresh-cut vegetables, traditional spices, and quality ingredients, our chefs craft each dish with precision and care, ensuring every bite bursts with authentic flavors.”
As mentioned, the team behind the restaurant is aiming to open its doors in July, but as always, stay tuned for more details.
Thai Chili 2 Go will be located at the Gladden Farms Commercial Center, at 11350 W. Tangerine Rd. For more information, visit tc2go.com and follow Thai Chili 2 Go on Instagram.

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.
