What’s your favorite place to dine in Arizona? Is it one of our 5-star restaurants, a local chain, or, perhaps, a family-owned hole-in-the-wall? Well, we are lucky to have it all here in terms of dining options! Head just about anywhere in the Phoenix metro area and you’ll stumble upon plenty of excellent restaurants that range in price and types of cuisine. One local favorite in Chandler happens to be Elmer’s Tacos. Serving up some of the best Mexican cuisine in the area, it’s no wonder why it’s such a popular place to dine.

While there are plenty of Mexican restaurants around the state, there's something quite special about Elmer's Tacos. Elmer himself was born in Sonora, Mexico and, after working for several restaurants around Los Angeles, decided to open up his own.

Sometime after moving to Arizona, he opened up Elmer's Tacos. The year was 1974 and remains family-owned and operated to this day. Not only do customers continuously come back for the excellent regional fare but for the affordable prices and friendly service.

One regional specialty you can order here at Elmer's beefy frybread. Homemade from scratch every single day, the fry bread is light and delicious and topped with beans, lettuce, cheese, and your choice of meat. Yum!

Churro frybread and honey and powdered sugar frybread are other options if you have a sweet tooth.
