Tacos, Margs, and Open-Air Cruising: A Guide's Take on the Scottsdale Margarita & Taco Culinary Tour

Tacos, Margs, and Open-Air Cruising: A Guide's Take on the Scottsdale Margarita & Taco Culinary Tour

Every city has a tour that shows you its landmarks. Very few have one that lets you taste its personality while cruising through it in an open-air cart with your own playlist blasting. That's the Scottsdale Margarita & Taco Culinary Tour - and from where we sit, it's the single best way to celebrate anything in Old Town.

Your Group, Your Ride, Your Playlist

First thing to know: every departure is a private tour. It's just your group in one of our open-air electric or gas vehicles - six guests, seatbelts, and a Bluetooth speaker waiting for your queue. Bachelorette parties, birthday crews, corporate outings, or just friends who take tacos seriously: the vibe is yours to set. We meet at our Old Town Scottsdale shop, everyone shows a valid ID (this is a 21+ experience), and we roll.

Three Stops, Three Tacos, Three Margaritas

The format is gloriously simple: three local spots, and at each one a local taco and a chilly margarita. You're not getting a watered-down tourist version of either - these are the spots locals actually go to, and the margaritas arrive properly cold. By stop three, the group has favorites, opinions, and at least one heated debate about which taco took the crown. That's exactly how it should go.

Old Town Between the Bites

The ride between stops is its own show. Your guide narrates the real Scottsdale as you cruise - the restaurants worth a return visit, the galleries and museums, the shops, and the hot spots where the city actually hangs out. You'll leave with a running list of recommendations for the rest of your trip, plus the inside scoop on what's happening in town while you're here. And yes - we air-drop you complimentary photos of the whole crew (a $150 value, included) so nobody has to play photographer.
