A piece of the Valley's history

Family recipes. Phoenix roots.

For more than six decades, Tee Pee has been where neighbors, families and famous visitors come together over honest Mexican food.

The Tee Pee story

A neighborhood place from the very beginning.

Since 1960, our family-owned restaurant has served the Arcadia neighborhood with recipes passed down through generations. What began as a local mom-and-pop spot became a Phoenix institution without losing the warmth that made it special.

Every plate is made with care, every guest is welcomed like family, and every visit adds another story to the walls.

Then and now

The details change. The welcome doesn't.

Our patio has misters for warm Arizona afternoons and a fireplace for cool desert evenings. Inside, the jukebox, red booths and Wall of Fame carry decades of memories—from regular family dinners to visits from presidents, musicians and movie stars.
