    After seeing all the great reviews, I was excited to stop by after a hike for some tacos. I don't get the hype because this place was average at best. I got 4 tacos, 2 al pastor and 2 carne asada. I enjoyed the pastor more but found both meats to be a bit bland. Service is super quick and friendly, wish they had a salsa bar but there was only some type of chili oil. This place is skippable and there are better options around.

    Al pastor and carne asada tacos

    For a food truck- 5 stars. Ordered an al pastor (amazing) which came with some diced pineapple on top. I love when al pastor has pineapple and it's not always added so this was a nice surprise. Carne asada was perfect flavor and no fat to be found.

    3x Pastor, 1x Chorizo (gotta respect a place that makes their own chorizo)

    Best authentic taqueria/street tacos in the area, especially the Pastor! Exceptional Birria. Hot sauces are great too. Good portions for a fair price. I met Miguel the owner, a genuinely nice guy, and plan to support local business like his where they work hard to give you great food & service.

    Small trailer, but excellent tacos!

    For a little taco trailer located in a unusual place, there were some amazingly delicious tacos! Very friendly and helpful staff. They even have a little table set up if you want to eat them there. I had the tacos, al pastor on their homemade tortillas. The next time I'm in Tucson, I will definitely look for them again!

    If you're in the Tucson area, do yourself a huge favor and stop at Taco Rico. The meats they serve up there are some of the best I've ever had--and I've eaten tacos all over the southwest for over 50 years. The asada and pastor could very well be the best I've ever had. The salsas that came with my asada burrito and pastor taco were spot on! Spicy and flavorful. Topped it off with a bottled Mexican coke and it was the perfect meal. I will definitely be coming back whenever I'm in the Old Pueblo!

    One of the best (if not THE best) taco carts you'll find. Not only is the food insanely good, but the staff is always so friendly and kind too. My husband loves their burritos, I enjoy all the different tacos, and my somewhat picky 4 year old can always find something on the menu that he'll eat. They are normally located at the Fascinations on Ina. They put out a couple of tables underneath trees so you're able to sit there to wait or enjoy your food there. You can also grab anything to go and they pack it up really well!

    I've had so many street tacos in my life, and other than this one place in MX- Taco Rico has the best tacos hands down. Every time I go, the flavor of the meats are phenomenal. I've tried every one and my favorites are the pastor, suadero, and cabeza. Pro tip- you can get the meats mixed in a taco if you want both and the suadero/cabeza combo is really good. I also recommend the horchata, it's homemade. The truck and tables are always clean and everyone working there has great recommendations.

    If you would have told me that I was gonna have lunch from a taco truck in front of an adult toy store this morning, I would have been a little confused, so much so that I didn't even take food pics cause I wasn't expecting it. Hands down best Mexican/tacos in northwest Tucson/Marana. When you live in the place with the best Mexican food it's hard to believe that it's hard to find, but living on this side of town it's really hit or miss if you are gonna get true authentic street tacos, burritos and quesadillas. Taco Rico's delivered! Service was awesome and quick. Menu was to the point and not clogged up with a bunch of BS. The atmosphere was just to be expected an adult toy shop parking lot with a canopy, plastic tables and chairs but you're not here for that. Keep up the good work!

    Great tacos! Reasonable prices. Friendly service. We stopped at this food truck for a quick lunch and we will be back.

    Absolutely delicious and proper burritos, tacos, and quesadillas. Tried a chicken burrito, Pastor tacos, and Brisket quesadilla. Pastor Tacos pictured were amazing! Great service and price. Do not underestimate this taco truck. It is worth the drive if anywhere near!

    Best street tacos out there. Authentic, tasty, fast, and satisfying. We tried every taco they had. Favorites were the tripa and suadero.

    My New Go-To Burger Spot in NW Tucson!…read more I live in the area and have always defaulted to Five Guys for my burger cravings--until now. I've visited this place four times since May 2026, and it has completely won me over. I can't find a burger joint like this anywhere else in NW Tucson! The Food I've tried nearly all of their burgers, and they are consistently fantastic. The flavor and juiciness are excellent, but the Cheddar Bomb Burger is AMAZING--an absolute must-try. The sides are great too; I highly recommend getting the Cajun fries. Price & Service The pricing is rock solid. For the exact same price you'd pay at Five Guys, you get a burger and fries that are leagues better in both quality and taste. The service is also incredibly fast. On a recent visit, I stopped by just for the food (I wasn't even shopping), ordered my burger to-go, and it was in my hands within just a few minutes. Location Thoughts Right now, the restaurant is tucked back in the outlet mall's food court. I genuinely hope they consider moving to a better, more prominent location so the business can truly blossom. A spot in the Arizona Pavilions or across the highway on Cortaro would be perfect. The only real competitor over there is In-N-Out, which frankly isn't even competition compared to this place, in my opinion. I'll definitely be back and will update this review with some pictures next time--if I can remember to snap a photo before I dig in!

    I can't get enough of the Blue Cheese Burger and don't get me started on the loaded fries…read more This place is amazing I've been 3 times in the last week. Highly recommend one of the best burgers I've ever had. Might go back again this week it's that good. Pictures can't do it justice, I had them wrap it up to go, presentation before that was amazing!

    This is the spot!…read more Cash only merch and signs, bursting with workers at lunch and anyone else willing to brave the Tucson sun, all being quite civil in a packed outdoor space. Tucson's gonna be all right.

    I've been to Tucson several times this year for business. Due to my hectic schedule, I usually…read moreorder delivery and just call it a day. But during this recent visit, I decided to change things up. Let me tell you, the food scene in this city is incredible. I'll probably post several reviews in the coming days, but this one had to be first. Sonoran hot dogs are legendary, and everyone told me they were a must-try while in the area. Several places were recommended, but this establishment was only 10 minutes away from my location -- and yes, it was the #1 recommendation. So luck was definitely on my side. This is a family business that has been featured in dozens of YouTube videos (and probably TV shows as well). I was greeted by a very sweet and polite young lady and ordered a traditional Sonoran Dog, a carne asada taco, and an adobada taco. All I have to say is WOW. The combination of toppings on that dog was amazing. I had never tried anything like it before, and now I want more. That crispy bacon-wrapped hot dog with the beans, onions, crema... just incredible. The tacos were fantastic as well. I can't wait until I return to Tucson in two months. I'm definitely going back and will probably order three of those dogs next time. They also have plenty of seating, both outdoors and indoors, with nice cold A/C for those brutal Arizona summer days.
