This was our first Mexican meal in Tucson and it makes you realize how much better Mexican food is in the southwest compared to Minnesota. I knew this would be true, but the contrast is unnerving because it makes you realize that what you think is "good" Mexican food has been totally distorted by mediocrity. The service was friendly and helpful -- no complaints there. The dining rooms itself seemed a bit overspaced, but certainly was clean and serviceable. Starting with the salsa and chips, well, that alone makes it all worthwhile. Having it homemade and fresh makes all difference. Then onto the steak taco I had, which was flavorful, juicy, plentiful, and had all the right toppings. That was only exceeded by the shrimp tostada I ordered with amazingly fresh and sweet shrimp. Honestly, $10.99 is a steal for this item. My wife was happy with her beef taquitos, although it wouldn't have been my first choice. read more

Here's a polished version of your review you can post: Poor service from start to finish. While the restaurant was busy, the waitresses were taking selfies and what appeared to be a manager was sitting down eating and laughing instead of helping staff or customers. Our order was taken incorrectly multiple times. We ordered tacos with corn tortillas and received flour tortillas instead. We asked for a Dr Pepper and were given Sprite. One of our meals was completely forgotten, and when they finally rushed it out, the shrimp was still raw and the food was undercooked. The food overall was average at best, and the experience was frustrating. To make matters worse, they still charged a tip after all the mistakes and poor service. Definitely not a place I would return to. read more

This business has multiple locations. This location is at 610 N Grande. It's a very neighborhood restaurant. The food is very good and came from the kitchen in good time and was hot. The restaurant itself could use a bit of attention, but everyone was friendly and courteous. It was after the lunch rush and it was quiet (4 tables occupied) the service could use some attention but it was ok. read more

Taco Giro - This was combo #2. Chili relleno, cheese enchilada and beef taco with side of beans and rice - Tacos Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

This place is definitely a hole-in-the-wall, but don't let that fool you, the mariscos here are amazing. If you're into seafood, this spot absolutely delivers time in and time out. Service is alright. It's not terrible, but it's not great either, and I've had a few visits where it felt a bit inattentive. At times, it seems like I might be underestimated as a gringo, which can be a little frustrating, but it hasn't been bad enough to keep me from coming back. The campechana is the standout and easily the reason to come here. Fresh, flavorful, and done right it's seriously to die for. Everything we had was solid and satisfying, especially for a slightly unassuming place. It's not fancy and doesn't try to be, but the food speaks for itself. A great hidden gem for mariscos and an easy 4-star spot I'd happily return to. read more

Taco Giro - Tacos Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Food was okay but the Service was horrible! The Waitress took our order and brought out our food and never checked back. My wife had ordered shredded beef but instead She had gotten SHREDDED CHICKEN. She went ahead and ate it. We normally tip well but the waitress never returned until She finally brought us our bill and three little pieces of candy. The other two waitresses were taking care of the other patrons in the restaurant. We will not return to eat at this restaurant. read more

Cool spot that seems to be a locally owned place with multiple locations? The food was good, the service got off to a slow start. I don't think the hostess communicated to the server we were seated in her section. The good was pretty good. For a bit my friend and I were the only non-Latino folks in there which is a good sign for a Mexican restaurant. read more

Taco Giro - Tacos Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

What a fantastic spot for a hearty, delicious meal! Taco Giro is a local gem. Whether you're in the mood for authentic Mexican food or a classic American breakfast, they have you covered. I've had the enchiladas, and the red sauce is rich and flavorful--pure comfort food! My friend got the machaca with eggs and loved it. The portions are generous, the food tastes homemade, and the service is always friendly. It's our go-to spot for a satisfying breakfast or lunch. Highly recommend! read more

Place is dark and old. The food was the worse Mexican food I've had in Tucson. I ordered enchiladas suizas and the chicken tasted like it was old and was hard. My partner ordered the mole burrito and it was the same old hard chicken with some nasty mole. I will never go back. Save your money and go anywhere else. Trust me it will be better than this place. read more

Okay okay okay , here we go here we go , I would say ... Sleeper! Its a non talk about for sure. I am for sure coming back soon , I honestly got back into YELP just for this meal here . I got the Molcajete mixo. The amount of meat and chicken is what i loved but more than that the flavor of the salsa in the bowl. Super good and flavorful. The shrimp can be the bigger ones but they are a decent size still I would say . The nopales were so good ! The green onions coulda been cooked more but thats just my picky ass haha! That 26.99 plate tho with rice beans and guac is so worth it. Been going there since i was a youngin cause my tio loved it and we always super close being from sonora st. Good service cold beers and chill vibes . Ima go back for the birria pizza soon ! read more

We didn't have many choices on Xmas eve and ended up here. Lucky choice. Staff were amazingly nice even though we were the last customers before their Xmas break. Loved the asada torta. They have a meat and seafood combo dish (forget the name) that was great too. They gave our kids marshmallow pops as a gift. read more

Taco Giro - a large platter of food on a table - Tacos Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

We took my visiting brother and his girlfriend there on our Anniversary to have a great meal. Our server was Jasmine M. and she was top notch, excellent in customer service, very attentive and friendly. The food and drinks were amazing, among the best we ever had. The steak and shrimp was out of this world. We've been there several times and have never been disappointed. 5 stars all the way! The ambiance was authentic Mexican but not overdone. read more

After a short fun hike at Tumamoc, my friends and I stumbled on this place 5min. away and were so pleasantly surprised! We got such a friendly greeting from the woman cleaning the patio, then went inside to see they had TVs playing the game as well. There are tables and booths, and I believe a bar area too. The menu was so large and had great pictures of many options, it was hard to choose! The presentation at this restaurant is amazing, the portions are large, and the salsa was a favorite at our table too! The food came out in a very decent time too for our party if 4. It's amazing that this place could easily take us while "Seis" at Mercado had a line to the Parking lot. Our server didn't seem to be the friendliest, but it may have been a cultural difference.. I do think there was a couple times she didn't understand us. You receive your receipt from the server and pay at the register at the front. At the counter there are marshmallow figures that I learned are flavored marshmallows (mine was strawberry ). I'm definitely adding this place to my list to bring out of town friend's & family! read more

Went here on a lunch date with hubby. They have a large menu and will have to come back to try out more of the dishes they have! The appetizer was ok. Kinda bland. I would prob try something else next time. Their salsa was good! They also serve their salsa with a side of pork beans. Great flavor! I got the fajita mixta and was really happy with that dish! It was alot for one person so I'm looking forward to the leftovers my hubby got the Carne Asada plate and although the meat was a bit fatty he got two big pieces of meat that made up for it. What I really liked was their customer service :) Our waiter was really friendly and on top of our drink refills. They have a really good lunch and breakfast menu that I would want to explore as well as all their seafood options! Will definitely come back read more

We have ended up at several Taco Giro locations across Tucson, and after bombing out with a neighboring Mexican restaurant that was closed on a Sunday we stopped in here. It was reminiscent of their other locations with the open dining room/bar and the menu that has so many choices you confuse yourself on what you want! I ordered the Chilaquiles and my husband got the Machaca. They brought the little bowl of chips with the salsa and bean dip which I love. Our server was super on top of things. Our food came out pretty quickly which was great since I was hungry...but my three stars come from the Chilaquiles. Three words. Lazy man's Chilaquiles. It was simply their chips with sauce poured over the top. I was super annoyed, but my husband was digging his Machaca and I was full from the chips (and I ate the token scrambled egg that came with my Chilaquiles) so I was good. This location is fine, but I take my Chilaquiles seriously as we all know so three stars for that alone. Service, cleanliness and Machaca were great. read more

This place has delicious drinks and good! Seafood is great and I just love that they have different deals for the time of day! What I ordered here was off the lunch menu 9.99 tostada Caribeño! Very good deal for the price it was so big and filling I couldn't finish it. My coworker ordered the 3 tacos deal which also came with rice and beans! Also said it was good. The chips and salsa they sit you with at the beginning are a must! Most people love the spicy bean dip! This is a must try spot :) read more

Always good. My neighborhood place for good Mexican food and beers. Love the rice and beans - the measure of great, authentic Sonoran food.

Inconsistent. The first time I ordered the nachos con jalapeño, it was packed with nachos and as I ordered extra guacamole, there was extra. An entire scoop extra. The second time I ordered it, it looked like they forgot to make the order and then slapped it together. This time there was only a small blob of guacamole instead of the two scoops. The shining star is the jamaica. I had it both times and I'd likely return just for that. It was consistent and tasty. read more

Taco Giro - The number 19: beef tamale and beef enchilada - Tacos Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Friendly, neighborhod place. Love their camarones culichi! margarita specials also. they have been also fixing the place up outdoors and expanding it. My only complaint. WHY DID YOU PAINT OVER YOUR BEAUTIFUL MURAL? I loved that mural always made me happy to be eating under a mural that covered the whole ceiling to some of the walls. Now the walls are boring grey and brick. Modern? maybe, but just boring. bring back a new mural!! read more

Food is actually good but get your bill before you pay. They tried to tell me my order was ten dollars more than it was.

Be careful when going here. The waitress tried to rip us off. We had been going here for months with no problem before. The last time we asked twice to get the check and the waitress kept saying just go pay at the front. We did and she told us the bill was $45+ dollars. We always get the same thing and knew it was like $30. We demanded to see the check and it was $32 and some change. Never going back. read more

We just left our Taco Giro on Thornydale Road, where we just experienced an amazing meal. I had the best veggie fajitas I have ever eaten. My wife raved about the chili rellenos. Our servers, Valeria and Cortez were extremely helpful and friendly. The restaurant is very pleasant and clean. We both give this location our highest reccomendations. FIVE STARS!!!! read more

Fast, friendly, delicious, and fun! If you haven't been to Taco Giro you have to experience this place. My family loved their food, our waitress was wonderful, and the atmosphere was great. Seafood was 10/10, we'll definitely be back for more! read more

The grilled shrimp tacos are awesome. The carne asada is also tasty though a bit on the salty side.

Food is excellent! 10 out 10 recommendations. Me and the husband wanted authentic tasty food and this hit the spot !

My wife and I have been enjoying the Mexican and Seafood regularly, 2x a week! It's that good! What can we recommend: Rice & Beans are some of the best. Their Guacamole is excellent, the Enchiladas- Ground Beef, Shredded Beef and the Chicken ones are all delicious. The Carnitas plate and the Machaca plate are delicious too. The Grilled Fish and Fried Fish tacos are outstanding, 7 Mares Soup is very (spicy) good! The Ice Tea is so good, never-ever is it weak. The service is usually super-fast and that is the topping on any meal here! As you can see, we've tried several different plates, it's all good!!! read more

Been here for breakfast several times, eggs, hashbrowns, are good, a little oily, but good. Unfortunately, they now only serve you 1 piece of toast with breakfast and did not get toast for 5+ minutes after receiving out eggs and hashbrowns. Bacon is burnt most of the time. Coffee had a burnt taste and their diet coke has a musty taste (have had it several times tasting musty). Burritos, fajitas, are very good. read more

Food was decent and was actually ready pretty fast, the service though was terrible... I believe our servers name was Jacky, she didn't smile once while she served us until it was time for us to pay, when she sat another table down she would throw the menus on the table... overall her attitude just ruined our breakfast. read more

Well how or where do I begin. We usually love going to our favorite place "MiNidito" but it was so packed we couldn't wait for the hour wait time so I suggested we try Taco Giro on Grande close to the house and I'll bet we'll get seated right away. Long story short wife wasn't to happy with her meal "Chicken fajitas" I said to her why what's wrong with it she said they made it using the Chinese beef and broccoli sauce I no way this is Mexican restaurant I tried and sure enough it was in fact the sauce. So not only did my wife fajitas sucked so did our service no one approached us to ask us how was everything nor did they refilled our drinks ice tea and a coke. Lousy service and I won't mention their menu which has 10 pages of seafood and regular meals along with mixed drinks in between pages. I give this place a two star rating because I feel with better management and more experience kitchen staff there's a possibility it might be an ok place to enjoy. Good luck.. read more

So bad, from the service to the food to the sickly sweet cocktails, don't waste your money
