Mesquite Fresh Street Mex

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. Mesquite Fresh Street Mex has 8 locations and has plans to grow in communities throughout Arizona. [read more]

Don Ruben's Mexican Food

Don Ruben's, a family owned and operated business, has been a staple of the West Valley for generations. Raymond and Teresa Bonillas opened the first Don Ruben's in 1972 and quickly stole the hearts of native and non-native Phoenicians alike. Flash to the summer of 2001, when Steve and Lené Bonillas re-opened Don Ruben's on 43rd Avenue & Cactus. It is always great to meet new customers, but it always makes The Don Ruben's Family smile a little bigger when customers of the original Don Ruben's come in and are pleased to experience their longtime favorite Mexican food. Tastes just like it did in the seventies. We strive to present fresh and meticulously homemade Sonoran Style Mexican Food. There are flavors for EVERYONE. Thank you for visiting and we hope to see you soon [read more]
