What makes Sonoran tacos different?

Sonoran-style tacos are rooted in the traditions of the border region—emphasis on fresh, handmade tortillas, high-quality grilled meats, and simpler preparations that let ingredients shine. Phoenix trucks celebrate this heritage with fresh tortillas made on-site and authentic recipes.

What areas in the Phoenix metro do taco trucks serve?

Taco trucks cover the entire Valley including downtown Phoenix, Old Town Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Glendale, Peoria, and Paradise Valley. Many travel to Cave Creek, Fountain Hills, Queen Creek, and even Tucson or Sedona for larger events. Travel fees may apply for outlying areas.

For weddings and events with 150+ guests, book 6-8 weeks in advance, especially during Phoenix's peak wedding season (October-May). Corporate events and smaller parties typically need 2-4 weeks lead time. Popular trucks book quickly for weekend dates, so earlier is always better.
