Our Story

A family tradition of authentic Mexican flavors, handmade with love

Family Recipes, Authentic Flavors

At Mr. Taco, we bring the authentic taste of Mexico to Phoenix through generations of family recipes and traditional cooking methods. Our journey began with a simple mission: to share the rich, comforting flavors of our homeland with our community.

Every dish we serve is crafted with the same care and attention our family has used for decades. From our slow-cooked birria that simmers for hours to our handmade tortillas pressed fresh daily, we honor the traditions that make Mexican cuisine truly special.

Our commitment to authenticity means using only the finest ingredients, traditional spice blends passed down through generations, and cooking techniques that have stood the test of time. When you taste our quesabirrias, you're experiencing the same flavors that have brought families together for generations.

Handmade Tortilla Tradition

Every tortilla is crafted by hand using traditional methods passed down through generations

Nixtamalization process for authentic tortillas

1. Nixtamalization

We start with whole corn kernels, cooking them in lime water using the ancient nixtamalization process to unlock nutrients and authentic flavor.

Grinding masa for fresh tortillas

2. Grinding Masa

The prepared corn is stone-ground into fresh masa dough, creating the perfect texture and authentic corn flavor for our tortillas.

Pressing fresh tortillas by hand

3. Pressing Tortillas

Each tortilla is carefully pressed by hand using traditional presses, ensuring the perfect thickness and shape for optimal flavor.

Cooking tortillas on traditional comal

4. Cooking on Comal

Tortillas are cooked on a hot comal (griddle) until perfectly charred, creating the authentic flavor and texture you can't get from store-bought.
