    Asada torta
    Brad H.

    Yes "rapido" is correct! My order came out quickly which I appreciated because I was on a short lunch break. And the asada torta was excellent and tasty. The bun was so fresh and fluffy. Lettuce, onions, avocado, and carne asada. So good. $8. And the service was pleasant and cheerful. I will be back. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

    I've eaten here so many times over the last 5+years. I kinda get disappointed a little more every time I visit. While I can admit, they have the best salsas and carne asada is so good.... their burritos are skimpy for the price. The burrito comes with green cabbage, and as seen in the pics- I basically ate half a burrito of just cabbage. Luckily, I love cabbage so added the purple onion, some salsa, pepino- soooooo good. Besides that- everything else is great. The tortas, the jugos de cabeza and Birria- I'm telling you.... last thing to add- almost forgot- you'll be lucky to catch them earlier in the morning- or a few days out of the week they're no where go be found. Service is quick and efficient- mostly Spanish speakers working the truck- just how I like it

    Consome

    Delicious! I had the birria consome. I knew what I want but didn't see it on the menu but with the help and patience from them, i got what I want. It was so good that i forgot to take a picture of the cheese filled birria. The consome wasn't salty or greasy like the others.

    Tacos

    OH MY GAWD these tacos are marvelous!! I eat tacos all over Tucson and these are some of the very best!! Will be back often!!

    Adobada burro
    Haley N.

    Love the adobada burro always! Must try! I tried the carne asada, which was also delish. Great price, service is quick, food tastes fresh, and clean overall. For Covid-19 precautions, they package the different salsas for you. Love this food truck!

    Good solid tacos-- only meat/bean options, no seafood. The fiancee looved the chicharron and birrin tacos; they were fresh, flavorful, just the right texture. Good deal for 1.25-1.50 per taco. The Quesadilla and Burrito were pretty good as well, they make a pretty thick tortilla. Best part is their mini salsa bar-- with a few salsas, tomatillo, pico (spicy!!), chopped onions, limes etc. Served by a truck-- covered, very clean outdoor seating. Fast service.

    OMG, heaven on earth!!! We are staying at the KOA less than a half mile away. I'm SO glad my husband found this food truck! It's next to a gas station. They have the MOST AMAZING tacos EVER!!

    Absolutely delicious! Was looking for some birria tacos and these were BOMB! quick to set up the stand and make the tacos and quick for the tacos to be gone too

    Delicious tacos.

    These are the best tacos in Tucson. The carne asada and tripas are amazing. I drive an hour from Sierra Vista just to eat here.

    The infamous carne asada taco, loaded with sides and their hot salsa. Bomb people!
    Chris B.

    With food trucks being the new rage, I can say i've found one of the most professional, affordable, and delicious spots in south, no, all of tucson for quick mexican cuisine. Tacos are at $1.25 no tax, burritos between $3.50 to 4.50. They also do carmelos and tortas, etc This was where I tried my first cabeza taco, and between the tender juicy texture topped with every fresh condiment you can think of from their salsa bar, there is no wrong. The burritos are perfect portioned, they use a pico sasla inside the burrito which provides an expanded flavor. Must tries: Salso Rojo Carne asada tacos Cabeza burrito anything with cheese

    Great fresh food. Both my husband and I ordered Carne Asada Burrito's. They came with cabbage which was unusual for us but very good.

    Birria Munchies Truck - A Total Hit…read more Birria Munchies Truck pulled up to my apartment complex on Tuesday, and let me tell you, the hype was real. They sold out fast, and when they came back on Thursday, I made sure I was first in line no way I was risking missing out twice. Their menu is incredibly easy to read, streamlined, and straight to the point: it's all about the birria. They keep the payment process simple too, cash or card, no drama, just efficiency. I ordered a birria taco and a mulita, which is basically a double-tortilla birria quesadilla situation, and both were absolute standouts. Prices are on point, especially for the quality. You can literally smell the birria before you even get close to the truck. The meat is juicy and seasoned perfectly; you can taste every layer of flavor. And the cheese? I'm convinced they're using Oaxaca cheese because it is incredibly rich and melts just right. I'm not sure where their permanent spot is, but if you ever see Birria Munchies Truck out in the wild, do yourself a favor and stop. This truck is absolutely worth chasing down. Thank you, Birria Munchies! See you next time you swing by

    Stopped in because I was curious about the breakfast burrito, they were open, and I had time. I…read morealso saw that Brad Lawerence a local food guy gave them the best breakfast burrito in Tucson. Yes this burrito is awesome. The service was fast and friendly. The place is an outdoor food park so think parking lot with shade, tables, and sometimes a bar. Definitely get this burrito.
