    Plate of 2 fish & 1 shrimp tacos
    Lee P.

    Without a doubt, they're making the best fish and shrimp Tacos in Tucson! This family food truck (actually a trailer) was at the AZ Beer Co. and we decided to give it a try. The menu is very simple: Fish taco or Shrimp taco. Plate of 3 of either for a slight discount and they will make a mixed plate as well. Freshly made with a light batter and both the shrimp and fish were fresh (on a Sunday night!). No stinky stuff. Both were light and delicate. This isn't the greasy, dense, dried out carnival midway fare. The fish and shrimp portions were huge - the 3 taco plate is a satisfying meal for an adult. My order for 2 plates was ready in about 5 minutes and the presentation was beautiful. Nice family operation. The young son takes orders and runs the register - he's all business! We spend part of each month in San Diego, reputed to be the fish taco capital of the US and the meal from La Bufadora is better than any I've had there over the past 30 years, even in the little hole-in-the-wall joints. I'll definitely make a point to go wherever they are in Tucson on a Saturday or Sunday night.

    Fried fish tacos.  Yummmm

    Had to try this place out after checking it out on social media. Drove across town and it was amazing. Love the freshness and the crispness of the fish and huge shrimps. Only draw back were the fries. Wish they were crispier but other than that. The flavor was great. Awesome corn tortillas and toppings. Would definitely eat here again

    Baja tacos just like what we had in SoCal! So fresh and tasty! You will not be disappointed, and you might end up a follower like us. The owners are real ones and you can feel their authenticity by their character and friendly demeanor. Well done Leo & Ana! We loved every bite of our Baja tacos and cannot wait to come back! You guys are the best and we wish you much success! Thank you for bringing this to Tucson! And thank you for sharing your space with us

    You know a place is gonna be good when their menu has 2 items. The fish tacos were fried to order and were fresh and delicious. The salsa on top is spicy and I felt like the toppings overpowered the fish a little bit. Although they are a decent size (lots of toppings), $6.50 for a taco is pretty steep. The picture posted by a fellow Yelper a month ago shows $5.75 a taco, so a $.75 increase in a month? Taking off a star because of the value.

    It hit or miss. Tacos are good, but the last time there my tacos had no fish. Just batter ball of oil.

    We went there to get a "Birria Bomb". We kept hearing so much about it on social media and we live…read morebirria tacos so we have it a try. The store has a butcher counter, small grocery section, ready to eat food made to order, and a bbq master waiting to grill your carne asada. The birria bombs are located behind the counter. WOW! This was so incredibly easy to prepare. The meat, water, and the bomb, that's it. The flavor was really good. For me, it was a little on the spicy side, but my husband thought it was the perfect amount of heat. My only word of caution is use the shoulder or chuck roast it recommends. I didn't have either of those at home, but I did have a 3.5 hunk of London broil, so I used that. I had to keep it in the crock pot for an extra 2 hours to get the meat tender, but it was worth it. I also failed on the corn tortillas, didn't have any, so we made quesadillas with flour tortillas and ate the birria on the side. Still super delicious.

Also purchased flour tortillas, salsa, green corn tamales, red chile tamales and beans. The food was delicious with two exceptions--red and green tamales. The tamales most definitely need to be discarded and replaced.... 1. So so dry; not moist; not fluffy 2. Green corn needed more cheese and more green chile; too skimpy on the ingredients 3. Masa was gritty Service was excellent. Meat counter staff were very helpful. The gentleman grilling was very friendly and accommodating. Cashiers were friendly and polite. Will be back soon but WILL NOT TOUCH THE TAMALES.

When we entered the restaurant, I was immediately impressed with all of the accolades that Amelia's Kitchen seems to have accrued over the years. Maybe that set my expectations too high. We made a reservation, which I highly recommend, so we were quickly seated. but it did take a bit for someone to actually come and greet us and take our drink orders after being sat down. Then it was probably another 40 minutes before we actually got our food. I'm not sure if it was this lag time that affected the food quality, but several of my items were just lukewarm and some even cold? The star of the show was definitely, the molcajete. This came out sizzling and full to the brim with shrimp, nopales, chicken, asada, cheese, and lots of other goodies. In hindsight, I probably should've ordered one for myself. I went with the chicken mole enchiladas. Again, the sauce was okay but not super spicy, and it was a little cold, as was my side of rice and beans. We also ordered the mini birria chimis to share. and these were just OK, they tasted like frozen food. Overall, if you come here, I highly recommend getting the molcajete, but can't really vouch for any other items. Maybe we'll try it again on a less busy night.
