TPQ Foods, the company behind popular Valley restaurants Tortas Paquimé and Pa'La Wood-Fired Cooking, is expanding with two new concepts in Goodyear and Glendale. Magdaleña, opening in Goodyear, will offer Latin American-inspired wood-fired cuisine, while Paquiméx Street Eats & Drinks, an evolution of Tortas Paquimé, will bring nostalgic Mexican dishes to Glendale in a fast-casual format.

Why it matters

The new restaurant openings from the TPQ Foods team highlight the continued growth and evolution of Mexican cuisine and dining experiences in the West Valley.

Magdaleña, set to open in late May in Goodyear's QSQ mixed-use development, will feature a Latin American-inspired menu with wood-fired meats, fresh seafood, and vegetable-forward dishes designed for sharing. Paquiméx Street Eats & Drinks, opening in late April near the Avenues of 51st and Olive in Glendale, will offer a modern fast-casual take on the traditional Mexican dishes that have made Tortas Paquimé a Valley staple for decades.
