About this spot

America's Taco Shop opened its first location on East 1st Avenue in Old Town Scottsdale, Arizona, on October 20, 2008, and has remained a neighborhood staple in the years since. The shop sits among several other Mexican spots in the area but has carved out its own following with a focus on Sinaloa-style cooking.

The build-your-own taco menu features char-grilled chicken or citrus-marinated al pastor pork with caramelized onions, pico de gallo, and guacamole, served on flour or corn tortillas with tomatillo or fire-roasted tomato salsa. Burrito options range from a simple bean-and-cheese version to the Americano Burrito loaded with rice, beans, onions, and grilled pineapple, and breakfast burritos with chorizo are also on the menu.

The space is casual and order-at-the-counter, suited for a quick lunch in Old Town or a stop before exploring the neighborhood's shops and galleries. America's Taco Shop also handles catering for larger groups and events, with online ordering available for both pickup and delivery.
