New: Angela's Mexican Food
A restaurant that started in a trailer at Stone Avenue and Prince Road has opened a brick-and-mortar location in Marana. Angela's Mexican Food recently opened in the former Bubby's Chicago Style spot at 9190 N. Coachline Blvd., bringing a nice selection of affordable burritos, tortas, tacos and other items to the Continental Ranch area. There seems to be a theme developing here—it's just the latest mobile restaurant to move into a building. Prices: $3 to $6. Hours: 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Saturday; 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Sunday.

Frozen Custard and Steakburgers
The frozen-custard-and-burgers formula has worked well for the two Culver's restaurants that opened locally earlier this year, and now another restaurant wants in on the action. Freddy's Frozen Custard and Steakburgers is under construction at the corner of Orange Grove and Thornydale roads, although there's no word yet on when it will open. The chain specializes in fast-food style burgers, hot dogs, chili and desserts made from frozen custard. You can get a sneak peek at freddysfrozencustard.com.
Colors Food and Spirits Reopens
LGBT bar and restaurant Colors Food and Spirits, at 5305 E. Speedway Blvd., reopened last week after a short closure. We're not sure yet if this means Honeybaked Glam, Sunday brunch and the rest of the events held there are back, but we have heard the place has a new look.
