Phoenix’s home for fire-grilled Sonoran tacos, hand-pressed tortillas, and bold flavors since 2016.
If you crave tacos that taste like the heart of Phoenix, Sonora Street Tacos is your spot. Founded by cousins Luis and Elena in 2016, our shop started as a tiny food cart on Roosevelt Row and quickly became a neighborhood favorite for authentic Sonoran flavors. Today, we serve hundreds of guests a week from our cozy spot on 7th Avenue—always grilling over mesquite and pressing tortillas to order. How Sonora Street Tacos Got Started It began with a family recipe and a dream. Luis grew up in Hermosillo, where he learned to cook carne asada over open flame from his abuelo. When he moved to Phoenix, he brought those traditions with him. Elena, a Phoenix native and self-taught salsamaker, convinced him to take their family flavors to the streets. With $800, an old grill, and a borrowed cooler, Sonora Street Tacos was born. What to Expect When You Visit Step inside to the smell of sizzling steak, the sound of tortillas puffing on the comal, and the sight of housemade salsas lining the counter. Every taco is made fresh to order, never reheated, and our aguas frescas are blended daily. Our regulars say there is nothing like our mesquite-grilled carne asada or Elena's creamy avocado salsa.

Whether you are a first timer or a regular, you have to try our top picks—these are the dishes that have made us famous from Roosevelt Row to Encanto Village. Our Story in Every Taco Our most popular taco, the Mesquite Carne Asada, is grilled over real mesquite wood and finished with a squeeze of lime. Elena’s Roasted Pineapple Al Pastor is slow-cooked on our vertical spit, layered with charred pineapple, and finished with a drizzle of chile morita salsa. For vegetarians, our Sonoran Nopalito taco is a revelation—grilled cactus, black beans, and pickled onions in a warm corn tortilla. Signature Salsas & Sides Do not miss our house salsas, made daily in small batches. The Avocado Salsa is creamy with a hint of serrano, and our Salsa Verde is bright and tangy with fresh tomatillos. Pair your tacos with a side of elote—grilled corn slathered in lime mayo, cotija, and chile powder.
