One of the best places for carnitas in Tucson. The value is great and the flavors are insane,…read morehighly recommend the carnitas for two! Service is ordering at the counter and picking up your food. Love the salsa bar. Finding a table can be challenging when it's peak hours but people are friendly.

I ate a late lunch here this afternoon with a couple of friends. It was a bit of a drive, but we…read morewere all curious to try this place. I ordered a chavindeca mixta because it was something I've never eaten or even heard of before. Apparently, chavindecas are a specialty of Michoacan. It's two corn tortillas with melted cheese and meat in between. "Mixta" meant a variety of different meats. Because corn tortillas are generally smaller than flour, it was smaller than a typical quesadilla or caramelo. But it was tasty. They have a good salsa and veggie bar. It's a very casual place, one large room, no table service. My friends were happy with their birria. Prices are reasonable. My lunch came to just $10.15 including tax and tip. Note: There are bilingual signs inside saying chicharrones on Wednesdays only. I was there on a Thursday.

We got lucky because we were early but as soon as we sat down to wait for our food, the place started filling up. I can only review the carne asada tacos and salsa. Good, lots of meat, not a lot of gristle so that's a win in my book. We took both the red and green salsas with us and both were delicious. Our friend must have liked them too because he gulped them down pretty fast! I'd hit up El Pacotote again for sure. I'm anxious to try some of their other offerings.

I went to a food truck and this very same location months ago, but it was a different food truck…read more When I asked how long this spot has been here, he said about five months. I was happy to see that they still have the covered seating area with a few tables, should you wanna sit in there. They also have another seating area right in front of the food truck. There is a menu you can order from white right by the window, as well as a larger menu on the fence I actually really love this place, my only gripe is the lack of transparent prices (I'll get to that.) Anyway, the service was stellar! When I was trying to decide what to order, the guy manning the orders simply offered me samples of the meats! It was so kind, and actually really helpful. They are all so so good. You really can't go wrong. I ended up getting three tacos and a burrito (because I'm greedy lol) and my husband got two tacos and a burrito. We knew we wouldn't finish it, but we figured we would have the burritos the next day. We also ordered two drinks, and I was surprised to see how large they were. I believe the tacos were four dollars each and the Carne Asada one was six dollars. I'm not sure how much the burritos were, or the drinks. When I asked my total, I could've sworn he said $60 something dollars. After I ordered, it looked as though he wasn't going to give me a receipt, so I asked for one, simply because I was curious as to how much each thing was. When I got the receipt, it had no pricing information on it. We got such great service that I just let it go, especially since I had asked the total and he had already told me 60 something. However, when I looked at my account this morning, I was charged 72. So I am a little confused about that. I could have heard wrong though so I won't hold that against them. Honestly, the food is really good, presented well, and the salsas were amazing. They also have a handwashing station, forgot to mention that! I will be back to this place, and I will get a better understanding of the prices before I pay next time :D All in all, I would recommend trying this spot!

The caramelo was tasty. I also got birria. As far as birria is concerned, I can take it or leave it. This birria, however, I finished it to the very last drop. It is really good stuff. Add a little limón and mmm, mmm, mmm! In case Yelp powers that be don't update the info I gave them, he is open everyday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. -ish. Open at least until 4:00 p.m. Sometimes 5:00, sometimes 6:00--always at least until 4:00. And also, his location is across from the Pilot truck stop on the corner of S. Burcham Ave. and E. Elvira Rd. Cash only. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

One of my favorite taco places in Tucson…read more This is a local Mom and pop taco shop, that serves a specialty, ribs in taco, either on the bone and meat stripped for you. they offer the classic taco options, as well as burritos, quesadillas, Carmelitos, and some other others. Their prices have gone up over the years, to adjust with rising food costs. However, it is still worth the try! They offer a salsa bar on the side, with all the typical toppings. Additionally, they have indoor and outdoor seating. Staff is very friendly and they announce your order via your name on the intercom. Parking can be slightly limited, so just be cautious when turning and parking, since the space is tight. It's a great place to stop for lunch or dinner, especially if you are in South Tucson area.

My Dad came to visit from California and he happened into this place after shopping at the ACE Hardware next door. He bought some Rib eyes and we grilled them that night. He is coming to town Tuesday and he wants to hit El Herradero Carnicera before I take him home. 30 years ago I was in some rural village outside Merida where I got the best chicken I have ever ate. It was simple, just beans, rice, and chicken. That chicken was marinaded in some kind of red sauce and the meat was so tender with a perfect balance of spice. I bought some El Herradero marinated chicken both the red and yellow (I am that Caucasian guy). I grilled their chicken to perfection and am not sure if the red or yellow one is the best chicken I have ever ate. One bite gives me an emotional response. If you like Mexican style meats, this is the place to go in Green Valley. Definitely pick up a couple Rib Eyes and marinated chicken breasts. And be prepared to be AMAZED. Thank you El Herradero. You guys ROCK!!!!

This is how I feel about Rollies…read more It's not the best at anything, but it's the most consistent. It's like the In and Out of Tucson, it's not the greatest Mexican food, but you can rely on it. And it's reasonable. I have been here a bunch of times and I have never had a bad experience. The decor is simple, colorful, and music not too loud. The staff is always nice and helpful. They run a tight ship here and it's noticed and appreciated. Is the birria the best? No. Is the Carne Asada? No. But they both are good. Not knock you off your feet good, but good. Get it? The Carne Asada has noticeable flavor and it's mostly juicy. I do mark it down a bit because it tends to be kibble like and not cut like traditional Asada. But it's forgivable. The birria could use a tad more salt, but it's flavorful and easy to eat. My favorite thing is the Chimi Sumo, it's a solid take on a Chimichanga and is the right amount of food. They are one of the very few places in Tucson that has keto tacos, so that goes in their favor. I want to try the Birria Pizza, I have yet to try one anywhere and I feel like Rollies can give me a solid first experience with that. All in all, Rollies is a solid, above average resturant in Tucson. I enjoy them, and it's a good place to have lunch or an early dinner during the week. The margarita I had a while back was good also. Try this place!
