4th Ave. is getting cheesier: A new quesadilla spot is now open!
On Valentine’s Day night, a giant inflatable alien walked past the glowing neon lights that beamed from a new spot on Fourth Avenue.
The workers inside of the colorful building ran out to see what the commotion was, snapping a picture of the out-of-this-world scene happening in front of the new restaurant.
They went inside to show the owners, Kristina and Michael Koblinsky, the picture of the gigantic alien posing underneath the Quesos on 4th neon sign.
Now, the Koblinskys, who also own The Dugout Sports Bar and Grill at 22nd and Swan, aren’t new to the nightlife scene. But this eccentric experience was a first.
They aren’t in Kansas (a.k.a. southeast Tucson) anymore. They’re on Fourth Avenue now, serving up gooey, cheesy stuffed quesadillas to the unique crowd that gathers on the historic street: whether they're humans or giant aliens.
Quesos on 4th, at 344 N. Fourth Ave., is the newest restaurant to open on Fourth Avenue, making quesadillas that are more than a flimsy tortilla stuffed with half-melted cheese: They're an experience.
When I went, I decided to go with the Carne Verde Papas, a quesadilla stuffed with carne asada, green chiles, caramelized onions, a cheddar blend and chipotle aioli.
This quesadilla was packed with flavor! One moment I’m relishing the rich melted cheese and the next I’m hit with the bright spiciness from the green chiles. I loved the potatoes as well; they add a nice texture and different taste to help break up all the cheesy goodness.
Whether I’m looking for a good, hearty lunch or running around 4th Avenue in an alien suit, a quesadilla from Quesos on 4th would definitely hit the spot.
