    Asada Burrito
    Rey F.

    Taco Rico has some of the best tacos in Tucson. I tried an asada taco and an asada burrito and they were delicious. The prices weren't bad and the meat was really flavorful. I especially like that the tacos were topped with just cilantro and onion. The food truck is located on Ina Road right off I-10. It used to be in the Fascinations parking lot but has since moved across the street. The staff was friendly, and there are a few tables available if you want to eat there. I definitely recommend checking this one out.

    This. Place. Is. The. Best. The Quesabirria is some of the freshest I have ever had and the consome was absolutely perfectly seasoned. Truth be told, I drank whatever consome I had left, because it was that good. It also came with some very fresh cucumbers which was an excellent pairing that helped break up the heaviness of this type of meal. A great place to stop right off the freeway making your way into town. It's about 15 minutes north of downtown Tucson. Located in a food truck under what looks to be the cover of an old gas station. They had a few tables and chairs right outside. The food are the bells and whistles! And you can't beat the prices!

    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!

    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!

    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!

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

    Had the carne asada burrito and bean/cheese burrito. Both were excellent. My new food truck choice.

    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!

    Ol Pot Hole is officially a new go-to stop for us!…read more We had the #1 burger on the menu and it was amazing. The fries were great too, and the Southwest seasoning was SO good. Our server actually recommended that seasoning specifically because it paired best with the burger we chose -- such a small detail, but it made a difference! We also tried the BBQ chicken fries, which were delicious and a HUGE portion. Definitely come hungry! The service really stood out. Being in a food court, we weren't necessarily expecting that level of personal attention, which made it even more memorable. Great recommendations, great food, and genuinely great service. This is now a go-to stop anytime we're driving through or shopping nearby. Definitely worth stopping for!
