Mesquite Fresh Street Mex is partnering with The Foster Alliance for its annual Toys for Tacos charitable holiday drive for Arizona’s foster youth.

Dine-in guests who visit any of Mesquite’s 10 Valley locations, including the one in Surprise, can donate a new, unwrapped toy through Thursday, Dec. 18. Those guests will receive one free taco.

It is the fifth year the restaurant will be donating to children in need.

“It’s an honor to continue our partnership with The Foster Alliance and help bring extra joy to children during the holidays,” said Ahmad Alatrash, co-founder of Mesquite Fresh Street Mex. “A simple toy can offer comfort, connection and a sense of belonging. We are proud to play a part in creating meaningful moments for kids in foster care.

In 2024, the statewide drive collected more than 18,000 toys, helping ensure thousands of foster children received gifts during the holiday season.

Surprise’s location is at 16860 W. Waddell Road, Suite 112.
