Chef Maria Mazon of BOCA, Es Teran of Borderlands Brewing Company, and the crews at each of the establishments have been making a lot of moves as of late. First, the new restaurant/taproom concept opened in the Sam Hughes neighborhood in January of this year. Next up: a brand-new restaurant concept in the Foothills.

Ayla Kapahi and her Borderlands colleagues had road-tripped from Tucson to San Carlos, Sonora, for a collaborative brewing experiment, in partnership with Marvida, San Carlos’ first — and so far, only — brewery.
