She has absolutely no idea we’re doing this! We met Esmeralda while putting together a new series about local businesses around Arizona. After six years working at Maskadores Taco Shop, she recently became the owner and is reopening it under a new name: Baja Tacos Mami. But the date she chose means a lot more than just a grand opening. August 15 marks three years since Esmeralda tragically lost her youngest daughter in a road rage incident. She’s choosing that same day to begin a new chapter. She thought we were just there to hear her story. She doesn’t know we’re posting this. And she definitely doesn’t know we’re inviting Phoenix to show up. 📍 Currently Maskadores Taco Shop 53 W Thomas Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85013 📅 Saturday, August 15 ⏰ 10 AM – 8 PM We’re showing up at 10 AM. If you can make it, come hungry. If you can’t make it at 10, she’ll be open until 8 PM. Let’s see what happens when Phoenix finds out. ❤️🌮 #PhoenixAZ #Arizona #SupportLocalAZ #PhoenixFood #BajaTacosMami
