Los Tachos Mexican Restaurant | Our Story

Thirty years on the Bisbee-Naco Highway

In 1993, Los Tachos opened on the Bisbee-Naco Highway to share the Sonoran food this family grew up with. The recipes haven't changed, and neither has the care. Named after a beloved father in law, Tacho, the restaurant still serves dishes first crafted by the grandmother whose cooking became the heart of the menu. What began as one family's way of feeding their community has grown into a Bisbee staple, built on authentic recipes and decades of history.

Bertha Salaiz named Los Tachos after her father in law, Anastacio — known to everyone as Tacho. His recipes were passed down without measuring cups, and his name felt like the right one to put on the door.

Bertha opened on the Bisbee-Naco Highway with a simple goal: bring the Sonoran food she grew up with to her community. What started as one woman's kitchen became a fixture for Bisbee families and the surrounding desert towns.
The food we grew up with

The food we grew up with

The menu is rooted in Sonoran Cuisine — crispy tacos dorados, slow-simmered Chile Colorado, Sonoran enchiladas, and hot dogs done the way they're meant to be done. These aren't recipes we invented; they're recipes we inherited.
Still cooking, still local

The original recipes have been in this kitchen for over thirty years, from sauces and beans from scratch the same way Bertha always did. The recipes haven't changed because they never needed to.
