TEE PEE MEXICAN FOOD RESTAURANT

Family-owned Tee Pee Mexican Food has been serving the Valley since 1958 – the bar/restaurant is located in the Arcadia neighborhood of Phoenix. The Tee Pee was started by Tony and Anna Duran. Tony bar-tended while Anna did the cooking. During the late 1970’s their daughter Kathy and son-in-law Zip started to run the family business. Now they are the owners and are teaching their children, Jefe and Julianna, to run the business. You can always find a family member at the Tee Pee – your server is probably a niece or nephew. You will always be greeted at the door by a friendly face. Our Manager, Shannon, started out bar backing in the late 1980’s and Tony Duran III is also following in the footsteps of the family tradition. We are all family at the Tee Pee!
The Tee Pee is nothing fancy. Like others in Phoenix it has often been referred to as a mom & pop restaurant. We serve our meals with paper napkins while you relax in one of our original booths. Some of our customers have been eating here for four generations and we wouldn’t have it any other way!

While you are waiting for your table you can browse the walls of fame. We have had many famous visitors come to our restaurant. President Bush and Willard Scott from the Today Show have been our guests, not to mention a great number of famous sports athletes and movie stars. Be it a famed celebrity or a local community hero, you never know who you might be sitting next to!

We serve authentic Mexican food. The recipes have been in the family for years. We serve all your traditional favorites such as beef and green corn tamales, albondigas soup, and the George W. Bush’s favorite: cheese enchiladas. We are famous for our chili rellenos which are like an egg soufflé. All of our food is homemade and prepared fresh daily. See our Menus page for a full list of our specialties. We also offer delicious party trays and for your larger events we can provide full service catering.
