    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.

Honestly, I wish I could give Yaquesita a little more, maybe half a star more, because this place definitely has potential. Their flavors are good, but compared to similar restaurants the menu feels a bit overpriced. For a party of three we ended up paying around $100, which felt like a bit much for what we got. The restaurant itself is pretty small with only about 3-4 tables inside, but the patio is a decent size and has a cute vibe. It's actually a nice option on cooler days if you don't mind sitting outside. Some items were better than others. The wet-style burrito was delicious and definitely a highlight. The quesabirrias were good, however the birria felt more like fancier shredded beef. It was missing that rich, spicy, slightly acidic, earthy flavor that usually sets birria apart from barbacoa or traditional shredded beef dishes. The bowl was just okay and had lots of lettuce. It felt more like a salad with a bit of meat, rice, and beans. Honestly, Chipotle does bowls better, and that says a lot considering the price. The nachos were good, but I've had better. Seis Kitchen has amazing nachos to share. That said, it's definitely a place I'd come back to mainly out of convenience, not because one particular item on the menu won my heart. I really do hope they continue refining the menu because the flavors are there and this place could easily become a standout spot. Personally I just think at the total price of my ticket other restaurants should not even have room in my mind during my meal. If you're in the area and looking for a safe bet where everyone will probably find something they like, it's worth giving them a try.

    I was so excited to visit Taqueria Juanito's restaurant today! I was tipped off by a local…read morerideshare driver that this people building near Grant Ave has the best cabeza tacos in Arizona! I was raised in a very conservative food pallet home like many Americans so trying new items like cabeza tacos is a very foreign choice in cuisine. Let me just say I am on a new adventure of respecting restaurants that honor the entire animal by properly knowing how to prepare each and every inch into a world class experience. These cabeza tacos did not disappoint! It was extremely buttery and melted in your mouth! If you do one thing this year, you owe it to yourself to put this place on your 3rd spot routine. The ambiance is so beautiful in this space too! There are beautiful murals inspired by Mexican culture with luchadores wrestling and oversized monarch butterflies, this place is truly a different dimension!

They made it sound like a hidden gem. Let's first go over what makes great Carne Asada. 1. Flavorful 2. Juicy 3. Good cut(minimal to no grisle, bone, not flat/thin cut and not diced into kibble) 4. Tender Juanito's had some flavor, but it was VERY dry and tough and had far too much grisle. I just didn't like it at all. I had to force my way through it it was so dry, I dislike dry meat. I want to try a different meat, maybe it'll gain a star there, but for the Carne Asada? Hard pass. The service wasn't great either.
