My colleague recommended this place, and it piqued my interest, despite the considerable distance from my home. Their tacos, though priced at nearly $4, are generously filled with meat, which I believe makes them a worthwhile purchase. The server who assisted us was exceptionally accommodating and friendly. Although the seating is under a tent, it was quite comfortable, especially given that it is still winter. The parking lot is gravel, and the restroom facilities are located outside, consisting of portable toilets.

2 tacos al pastor with cheese. Pineapple on the left both come with onions Cilantro and avocado.

This place sell traditional pork al pastor with homemade corn tortillas. They offer a nice traditional topping station. Load them up with you cabbage lemon ,pineapple chuncks and pack you salsa on the side. Snatch some Cucumbers as a palate neutralizer between salsas. I prefer dine in than take out. I felt like the tacos with cheese were bigger than the traditional tacquito taco. You can opt for "con todo" with everything-Cilantro, onions and avocado for inclusive price.

This place is like a food truck-style taco spot and it's amazing! The al pastor is packed with flavor, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. Everything tastes fresh and authentic, just like real street tacos. The service was quick and friendly, and the vibe is casual but clean and organized. If you're craving true Mexican-style tacos in Tucson, this is a must-try. I'll definitely be back!"

The BEST tacos I've had in my life!!! I'm a California girl and have had amazing tacos in my home state, but these are on another level.

Service: Alex reached out to make sure I was satisfied as a customer. She is dedicated to her craft…read moreand wants the customer to enjoy the experience. She offered to allow me to try the foods that we didn't enjoy over. I took her upon her offer. I tried the al pastor tacos and quesadillas. They were fresh and you can tell that the meat was marinated well. I also had a Sonoran dog which was amazing. Everything was delicious. I love supporting local businesses and would definitely recommend going to tell. And they have new desserts that I will come back and try. Ambiance was clean and inviting.

Food ordered chicken quesadilla. For a place that has a name after this item I was not impressed…read more The local Charquitas food truck in Corona de Tucson has way better Quesadillas. Why would I ding them for these? There's only three components to a quesadilla; meat cheese tortilla. The meat and cheese just seemed to be a little light on quantity. For tortilla it just wasn't what I like in a flour tortilla, taste wise. Service is self serve, but they do bring what you ordered to your table. (Walk up counter ordering) Ambiance was nothing special very crowded table area, spacing wise. One of those rare times the yelps ratings steered me wrong. Yelp on! Edit based on reply from: Alex-my review is strictly my own and based on my opinion. My concern was with the quantity of ingredients. Yes I saw and used the salsa bar. I was not trying to offend your efforts to put out a good product. I just wasn't impressed. Tucson is a very competitive market. I will call you next time I'm in the area. How's that?

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.
