Percheron Mexican Grill Food Truck Opens a New Brick-and-Mortar

The popular food truck Percheron Mexican Grill opened a brand-new brick-and-mortar restaurant on Thursday, February 29 at 444 W. Ajo Way.

The new 3,600-square-foot restaurant is a major upgrade from the food truck, but they’re no strangers to the new space. Owner Diego Valencia bought the building back in 2019, which was the former El Tá Comiendo, and it was being used as a commissary kitchen for the food truck.

Now, the building’s renovations are complete and the staff is ready to welcome you in.

If you’ve eaten at Percheron in the past — the food truck has been around for more than 10 years now — then you’re familiar with the epic bacon-wrapped burrito on the menu. It’s by far one of our favorite burritos in town. The bacon is expertly prepared in a manner that keeps it delicate and crisp with each bite rather than one chewy piece that makes the whole thing fall apart.

Also on the menu, Sonoran hot dogs, carne asada tacos, quesadillas, and caramelos a la carte.

Meanwhile, the food truck at 4860 S. 12th Ave., which is about a mile away from the brick-and-mortar.

Percheron Mexican Grill’s new brick-and-mortar restaurant is at 444 W. Ajo Way (food truck is located at 4860 S. 12th Ave.). For more information, follow Percheron Mexican Grill on Facebook.
