    a plate of food on a table
    Tiffany S.

    Located right inside of the American eat Company. This taco spot is amazing fresh quick and delicious. Even better that they offer keto tacos perfectly seasoned Birria nestled between a cheese shell with onions and cilantro. Don't forget the salsa. Also had a quesadilla, which had perfectly melted cheese and tasted amazing. Will return soon definitely a place that will please everyone.

    Carne Asada caramelo with guac
    Monica M.

    Food was delicious! The person behind the counter was nice and they got the food out fast. Their red chili sauce is very spicy, guac sauce had a tangy taste which added a nice flavor the food. I'm sure weekends here are busy. Lunch time seemed like a good time to come. Seating area is nice and cool and not bright inside which I like.

    Taco Chipilon on the far right

    Located in the American Eats food courts which is becoming one of my favorite place to have a variety of food options. Perfect for friend get togethers because there is so much different types of seating and so many food options for everyone to be happy with. The tacos ranged from amazing to average. The Taco asada was forgettable and the meat was a bit tough; would not order this again. However, the taco Chipilon was amazing! One of the best tacos Ive had in Tucson for sure. The adobada meat paired with mushrooms and melted cheese on top. Wow, I saved this taco for last so I could enjoy every bit. The store also has an extensive salsa bar so you can pair your tacos with your favorite toppings. Tacos do cost around 4$ for one so not necessarily the cheap taco joints you can find elsewhere in Tucson.

    the interior of a restaurant

    I was impressed. This little unassuming restaurant in a food court on fourth Avenue was very good. I actually came for a different restaurant that went out of business, so I decided to give us a little taco shop ago. I was impressed. I had one, "light"taco which was actually a lettuce wrap and they gave me quite a bit of steak filling. I had no grizzle and that was impressive. The cost? $3.75. Then I had a chicken taco. Again the chicken was tender and no grizzle. They had a Salsa bar for adding sauce toppings. They had some grilled onions and grilled jalapeños as well. All in all, I would definitely be here again.

    Mulita of Al Pastor
    Arlene G.

    Bomb! Let's just leave it at that. Came into town for a quick trip to Saguaro National Park and stopped here for lunch. I tried their Carne Asada tacos on flour tortillas and a mulita of Al Pastor(pork). Food was fresh and made to order, we wait wasn't too bad just a few minutes. I also tried the horchata which was also delicious. Tacos: loaded with meat and extra toppings given on the side. Good flavor Mulitas: loaded with mean and cheese. Extra toppings on the side. The corn tortilla was nice and crispy did not fold, making it an even better mulita.

    Ketos taco with carne asada
    Mark B.

    This place is part of a consortium of food places inside the American Eat food court. This is the third time I've been to this particular spot and I keep going back for Sonoran tacos. Since I was not that hungry I ordered the tacos mix (carne asada, pork, and tripe) and ketos taco with melted cheese as a tortilla. I also had an agua Fresca with watermelon (sandia). Will always come back here for Sonoran tacos.

    Just okay tacos

I stopped in for lunch and the food and drinks really hit the spot. I also love all the plants on the patio. It feels like eating at Abuelita's house.

    Overall, the service was good and the food tasted good, but the pricing didn't quite match the…read moreculinary experience for me. Honestly, I wish I could give Yaquesita a little more, maybe half a star more, because this place definitely has potential. Their flavors are good, but compared to similar restaurants the menu feels a bit overpriced. For a party of three we ended up paying around $100, which felt like a bit much for what we got. The restaurant itself is pretty small with only about 3-4 tables inside, but the patio is a decent size and has a cute vibe. It's actually a nice option on cooler days if you don't mind sitting outside. Some items were better than others. The wet-style burrito was delicious and definitely a highlight. The quesabirrias were good, however the birria felt more like fancier shredded beef. It was missing that rich, spicy, slightly acidic, earthy flavor that usually sets birria apart from barbacoa or traditional shredded beef dishes. The bowl was just okay and had lots of lettuce. It felt more like a salad with a bit of meat, rice, and beans. Honestly, Chipotle does bowls better, and that says a lot considering the price. The nachos were good, but I've had better. Seis Kitchen has amazing nachos to share. That said, it's definitely a place I'd come back to mainly out of convenience, not because one particular item on the menu won my heart. I really do hope they continue refining the menu because the flavors are there and this place could easily become a standout spot. Personally I just think at the total price of my ticket other restaurants should not even have room in my mind during my meal. If you're in the area and looking for a safe bet where everyone will probably find something they like, it's worth giving them a try.

    I was so excited to visit Taqueria Juanito's restaurant today! I was tipped off by a local…read morerideshare driver that this people building near Grant Ave has the best cabeza tacos in Arizona! I was raised in a very conservative food pallet home like many Americans so trying new items like cabeza tacos is a very foreign choice in cuisine. Let me just say I am on a new adventure of respecting restaurants that honor the entire animal by properly knowing how to prepare each and every inch into a world class experience. These cabeza tacos did not disappoint! It was extremely buttery and melted in your mouth! If you do one thing this year, you owe it to yourself to put this place on your 3rd spot routine. The ambiance is so beautiful in this space too! There are beautiful murals inspired by Mexican culture with luchadores wrestling and oversized monarch butterflies, this place is truly a different dimension!

They made it sound like a hidden gem. Let's first go over what makes great Carne Asada. 1. Flavorful 2. Juicy 3. Good cut(minimal to no grisle, bone, not flat/thin cut and not diced into kibble) 4. Tender Juanito's had some flavor, but it was VERY dry and tough and had far too much grisle. I just didn't like it at all. I had to force my way through it it was so dry, I dislike dry meat. I want to try a different meat, maybe it'll gain a star there, but for the Carne Asada? Hard pass. The service wasn't great either.
