18 Miles to the Border

At 18 Miles to the Border, we proudly offer the Bozeman community the regional flavors from our families in the Arizona/Mexico border region. Our flavors and cooking techniques originate from Tucson, Nogales and San Carlos. Our beef is marinated or rested for 48 hours prior to serving. The beef, chicken, and pork are seasoned with our house made blend of spices learned from Abuelita (Grandma) who learned from her mother. Then the meats are slow cooked to the point where tenderness allows then to be hand shredded as is the tradition.

Our guacamole is made fresh several times a day. But that is just the start- every item on our menu is prepared from scratch. Beans simmer for an entire day in our blend of seasonings. Chile rellenos, tamales, enchiladas, and chimichangas are house made, never from frozen. Salsas and sauced are made with fresh ingredients, The only items we don't make in the restaurants are the tortillas - our supplier in New Mexico knows something about making great tortillas that we don't and he promised his Abuelita he would never tell!

Southern Arizona is a land of great variety, but throughout the region two things remain constant - aridity and heat. Traditionally dairy items and vegetables were not available on a consistent basis, resulting the focus of the cooking has been the meats and the sauces. Though we take great pride in representing the culinary style of our families, we have elected to offer sour cream and cheese upon request, as well as, an expansive selection of fresh salsas, pickled vegetables and other specialties so that you can create your interpretation of our tradition- make Abuelita proud!

In addition to distinctive flavors, the people of the region are known for their warmth and hospitality - every visitor is welcomed as a guest and is considered part of the family. Roy, Rosalie, Justen, Alex, and our team welcome you.Less
