The Original Mesquite Location
Old Town Scottsdale is where Mesquite Fresh Street Mex got its start — the first location, and still a walk-up window with that original food-truck feel. Order at the window, get fresh mesquite-grilled street tacos, and eat where the whole thing began. It’s a no-frills, street-Mex setup built for the Old Town crowd: grab-and-go, open late, and always grilled fresh over real mesquite wood.
Late-Night Tacos in the Entertainment District
This is the Old Town late-night spot. While the kitchen runs all day, the big rush is after 9 PM — the post-bar, post-club crowd rolling up to the window for mesquite-grilled tacos when most kitchens have long closed. Open until 3 AM every night, and 4 AM Thursday through Saturday, we’re one of the few places in the Entertainment District grilling fresh past bar close.
What’s Good at the Old Town Location
Everything’s grilled over real mesquite wood. Old Town regulars go for the steak tacos, mixed tacos, fire-grilled chicken, and the Taco Tuesday deal, with chipotle or mild green salsa. Build any of it your way with fresh toppings and house sauces, all included.
