The inspiration for our concept comes from the ingredients: Agave and cactus, pre-Hispanic varieties of tomatoes and squash and the most important corn and chilies. It also comes from the changes in flavors created by the smoke of mesquite. The desire to work these flavors into a fresh modern interpretation of desert dining and present Tucson with a new lens to view Mexican cuisine motivates us to fulfill our mission statement, day in and day out. El Mezquite Grill & Taqueria is Tucson’s showplace for contemporary Southwest Cuisine, highlighting local ingredients and the flavors of Mexico. Coupled with bespoke cocktails, interesting wines and hand-crafted local brews, each dining experience at El Mezquite Grill is sure to leave you in awe.
