Why Tacos and Scottsdale Go Together
Scottsdale is tequila country, and tacos are the fuel that keeps a bach weekend upright. Old Town packs the best spots into a few walkable blocks.
The move is simple. Anchor the group at one taco patio for a long lunch or an early dinner, then roll into the bars a few doors down.
Most of these places have big margarita programs, so you are lining up the night at the same table where you eat.

The Mission
Best for: The upscale group dinner | Price: $6 to $9 tacos
An award-winning modern Latin spot known for tableside guacamole made with twelve ingredients. It carries a 4.3 rating across more than 10,000 reviews, and the dark, candlelit room feels like an occasion.

Barrio Queen

Planning Tips
- Reserve The Mission and Barrio Queen for groups over eight. Both fill their patios on weekend nights.
- Anchor your taco stop in Old Town so you can walk to the bars after. No ride share needed between dinner and drinks.
- Do an early dinner around 6pm. It lines your stomach for the tequila and beats the reservation crunch.
- Split a few tableside guacamoles for the table. It is the cheapest way to keep a big group happy while orders come out.
