America's Taco Shop returning to Melrose District

• This will be the first time America's Taco Shop has been open in the Melrose District since 2014.

Catch up quick: America Corrales and Terry Bortin opened their original location at Seventh Street north of McDowell Road in 2008.

• They followed with locations in the Melrose District, Tempe and Old Town Scottsdale.
• Rising rents and other issues led to the closure over the years of all but the Old Town location.

Zoom in: The Melrose location will open with limited hours, with plans to expand once they get settled in.

• "Happy to be back in the Melrose neighborhood, which is probably my favorite neighborhood that we've ever been in," Bortin tells Axios.
• At some point they'd also like to reopen in Tempe near ASU, Bortin says.

Jeremy's thought bubble: I was an America's Taco Shop regular when their old Melrose location was open, and I can't wait to go back for a carne asada burrito when the new restaurant opens its doors.
