America Corrales-Bortin and Terry Bortin – America’s Taco Shop
Terry and America first met at Pattie’s Lounge in Scottsdale. After months of trying to win her over, America finally agreed to go on a date, there was however one condition: Terry had to ask her brother for permission to take her on that first date. America’s passion for traditional Mexican cooking began when she was living in the city of Culiacan in Sinaloa, Mexico where she prepared meals for her large family. The couple shared a keen interest for food and cooking and made their dream into a reality. America’s Taco Shop opened it’s first set of doors in Phoenix in 2008. The restaurant quickly became a local favorite and has been recognized with many awards and accolades. Now Terry and America are raising their two girls and keeping up with their busy taco shops.
