Taqueria 2 Potrillos Opens New Location in Hesperia, Plans Victorville Expansion
Taqueria 2 Potrillos, a popular Michoacan-inspired restaurant chain known for its handmade tortillas and al pastor tacos, has officially opened its new location in Hesperia, California. The grand opening on April 14, 2026, drew large crowds despite earlier delays in city approvals. Co-owner and CEO Jorge Rosales celebrated the event with mariachis and expressed gratitude to the community for proving skeptics wrong about the viability of a High Desert location. Due to the overwhelming positive response since the soft opening in March, the company has announced plans to open an eleventh store in Victorville’s Desert Sky Plaza by the end of 2027. The Hesperia branch, situated in the former Pieology building, has created 20 new jobs. The restaurant distinguishes itself with a fast-casual assembly line service model combined with a welcoming dine-in atmosphere featuring imported wood tables. Popular menu items include cheese burritos, mulitas, and birria quesadillas. This expansion highlights growing commercial interest in the High Desert region and provides residents with accessible, high-quality dining options rooted in traditional flavors.
