My wife and I are new owners of Once Upon A Taco. We Took this new venture on as a team. I grew up in the Southwest in the border towns of New Mexico, Arizona, California and Texas. Having a pot of green chili, fresh pinto beans and homemade flour tortillas was a Sunday tradition growing up. I have always had a passion for good food made from scratch. After 22 years in hotel food and beverage management, I have wanted to open a restaurant to share my passion for good Mexican food. We felt a food truck was a great way to do it and be able to keep it simple. My father keeps us supplied with our fresh chili powders and chili's from Hatch, New Mexico, keeping our food authentic. Our recipes are some of our favorites and a few family recipes. Our goal is fresh, local, and organic when possible, creating flavorful and creative food to share with others. Our fish is sustainable wild caught. Chicken is cage free, and beef is local grass fed. We are vegetarian friendly, preparing separately on meat free surfaces. Our beans and rice are vegetarian, prepared fresh daily with herbs and spices.We use biodegradable, earth friendly paper goods and recycle with your assistance.
