Old Town Tortilla Factory is located in Old Town Scottsdale in a historic 75-year old Scottsdale adobe home. The restaurant is popular with visitors drawn to the restaurant's Southwestern charm and ambiance--not to mention the 1400 square foot flagstone patio surrounded by green vegetation and the much-appreciated shade from a 100 year old pecan tree. The menu focuses on Southwestern food with a Mexican twist. Menu favorites include Tex-Mex staples such as pork chile verde, slow roasted pork with cilantro, tomatillos, green chiles, onions and potatoes, or the southwestern filet mignon, a grilled filet served with garlic mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, and a zesty chipotle mushroom demi glaze.
