Tacos Maya continues family tradition

Yuma Counseling Services moves, alia’s Herbals closes shop, transitions to online

Like father, like daughter. Arleen Vega’s father, Arturo

Sosa, has operated Tacos El Cositas for years in the Foothills. Now his daughter, Arleen, and her husband, Xavier Vega, have stepped out on their own.

Tacos Maya, named after the Vegas’ daughter, is located right in front of the Neighborhood

Walmart at 863 S. Avenue B, at the corner of 8th Street. The food truck serves carne asada, fish, pastor and shrimp tacos.

Xavier, after working 10 years with the

Arizona Department of Corrections, quit two years ago to learn the business and open his own taco stand. I wish them all the best!

Summer hours are

4-9 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. For more information, call 928392-5531.

Arturo Sosa and family continue to run Tacos El Cositas at 12557 S. Frontage Road, between Foothills Boulevard and Fortuna Road, right next to Accurate Automotive Attention.

After 10 years in the same location, Yuma Counseling Services has transitioned to a new space, with licensure approval by the Arizona Department of Health

Services.

Troy Love, president and clinical director, and his team didn’t go too far. They’re now providing services at 2189 S. Avenue A, just across the street from the old office.

With the last box unpacked and the last picture hung, the team celebrated the move with an open house on Friday.

Yuma Counseling Services specializes in serving high-functioning clients who are seeking “more fulfillment, satisfaction and joy in their life” by helping them adjust to changes in their lives and heal of trauma that leads to anxiety, depression and other symptoms.

The goal is to have better relationships, rewire the brain for better executive functioning skills and experience better overall health and wellness.

For more information, reach Yuma Counseling Services at 928-276-9535.

Alia Koger closed the doors of Alia’s Herbals, formerly known as

Yuma Garden Co. Herb

Shop and Apothecary, at 1292 S. 5th Ave. and transitioned to an online store

“We sadly decided to close our sweet little herb shop in Yuma, but, as they say, every ending is a new beginning. Kole and I are pursuing our dream of off-grid living and biodynamic farming in the mountains of San Diego County, just outside of Descanso, California,” explained Alia Koger, a mother of five.

Her family purchased a 10-acre homestead last year and have just finished building a production facility and workshop to produce their

herbal medicines.

“We have decided it would be best to operate an online apothecary and herb store with a focus on cultivating medicinal herbs. We look forward to holding plant walks and workshops on the land and expanding our business into San Diego County,” Koger said.

Visit the full-service online apothecary at www.aliasherbals. com. It’s stocked with the best sellers fire cider, elderberry syrup, tinctures, salves and teas.

For an herbal consultation or more information, call 619-3243897 Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Rolls and Bowls has officially opened its location in Yuma.

The sushi restaurant is now sharing space with Birrieria El Gordo at

Owner Abraham

Andrade recently closed his location in the Foothills Village

Shopping Center to move into the shared space in Yuma. The original Rolls and Bowls is located in
