Launched in Old Town Scottsdale back in 2015, two close-knit brothers had a dream to make great-tasting and affordable Mexican street food. They cooked fresh meats over real mesquite wood and captivated their guests with real street flavor that reminds you of being in places like Rocky Point, Mexico. When lines started to form and people came back daily, they knew this little taqueria could be something special.
Meat is grilled over mesquite wood at this modern, laid-back haunt for tacos & Mexican street food. Based on 461 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.4 stars. Price $

Best burrito I’ve had so far. Had the mixto burrito with everything in it. Way better then chi and fil. My sister had the tacos and she loved them. Salsa was on point on flavor and seasoning. I highly recommend this one in Tempe worth the drive from west Phoenix.

The food tastes just as good as it smells!! I was walking down the street following this amazing aroma of mesquite and I found this place. The were grilling and smoking steaks and I didn’t want to leave after I was done eating. The burrito tasted just like Mesquite and the place smelled like Mesquite and I was just basking in Mesquite! Not only was the burrito amazing but the salsa was so good, it also had a mesquite flavor and I just wanted more and more! I wanted to drink a whole bottle of it! Definitely try the salsa if you go there!

I basically go here between 7 am and 8 am, every few days, for their breakfast burrito, which is quite affordable ($5 without meat and about $8 with meat) – the breakfast burrito comes with egg, cooked on the flat Top griddle, where they also toast the flour tortilla, and then, along with your choice of meat (Chorizo, chopped grilled beef, chopped grilled chicken, or a mix), you can get potatoes, cheese and green salsa in the burrito. You can also get a to-go side of fresh made red and green salsa (delicious). I tend to get it there and get a cup for water as I’m riding my bike there and back. If you live in the area a great place to go for a quick and affordable breakfast.

Absolutely fantastic, and authentic flavor. The pricing is great, the food is both fast and filling, and the portions are generous. I stopped by on a whim while travelling for a conference, but will absolutely be back again before I leave. Fantastic!

On Mill Ave off of 5th St next to the piano bar. Ordered the chicken Quesadilla. Very tasty with sides of everything if you need a quick bite. Small outdoor porch area for seating to watch the world go by.
