Our Story
Mesquite Fresh Street Mex began in Old Town Scottsdale in 2015 with a simple idea: make great-tasting, affordable Mexican street food, grilled the real way — over an open flame on genuine mesquite wood. That smoky, authentic street flavor — the kind you'd find at a taco stand in Rocky Point, Mexico — kept people coming back day after day. What started as one taqueria has grown into 11 locations across Arizona, and we're still growing.
The Mesquite Grill Sets Us Apart
Our custom-built mesquite grill is the heart of everything we make. We fire-grill fresh chicken and steak over real mesquite wood chips, giving every bite a smoky, wood-fired flavor you can smell from down the street. It's not a trend or a gimmick — it's how authentic Mexican street food is meant to taste. If you haven't tried mesquite-grilled tacos, you're missing something good.
Authentic Meets Modern
We serve the most authentic Mexican street food in a fresh, modern setting — built your way, with mesquite-grilled chicken and steak, juicy barbacoa, and fresh veggie options. It's classic street food for how people eat today.
Fresh Mexican Street Food, Made Every Day
We use only high-quality ingredients and prep them fresh daily — no shortcuts, nothing sitting under a heat lamp. Just made-to-order street tacos, burritos, and bowls with real flavor. We keep our menu simple on purpose: easy to order, fast to get, and built exactly the way you want it, with every topping included.
11 Locations Across Arizona
With 11 locations across the Valley, there's always a Mesquite Fresh Street Mex nearby — many with drive-thru and patio seating, several open early for breakfast or late into the night. Planning an event? We also offer catering — taco bars, family meals, and group orders. Come see why Arizona voted us the best street tacos in the state.
