As a self-proclaimed taco connoisseur, I have compiled my list of favorite Mexican eateries in Phoenix and Scottsdale. From iconic restaurants to hidden gems, here are some of the top spots to get your Mexican food fix. Los Olivos is a colorful Mexican patio that has been around since the 1950s. The Corral family opened this iconic restaurant in Old Town and it has remained a popular spot ever since.
Here you can enjoy traditional Mexican dishes like tacos, enchiladas, and burritos. Plus, they serve Mexican Coca-Cola in a half-liter bottle, which is much better than the American version in a can or plastic bottle. If you're looking for a great place to dine and have a cocktail before hitting the clubs of Old Town, then look no further than El Hefe Super Macho Taqueria. This restaurant offers an extensive menu of tacos, burritos, and other Mexican favorites. Plus, they have an impressive selection of tequila and craft beer.
For a more upscale experience, head to Barrio Queen. This restaurant serves up modern Mexican cuisine with a twist. They offer dishes like chile relleno tacos and pork belly quesadillas. Plus, they have an extensive selection of tequila and mezcal. Finally, if you're looking for a hidden gem then check out La Hacienda de los Sanchez.
This family-run restaurant serves up authentic Mexican dishes like mole poblano and chiles en nogada. Plus, they have an impressive selection of tequila and mezcal.
