The pollo was my favorite: well seasoned, with a nice crust and char. The asada was okay but needed more seasoning and a char would have been nice. The pastor was a little goopy for my liking; some char would have really elevated it. The Sonoran taco, with asada, green chile, and cheese, was decent, but nothing out of this world. At $3.10 per taco, or $3.35 with grilled onions, the prices are reasonable. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the staff was very friendly.

Our waiter was amazingly effusive and very good at upselling - though I didn't bite at the upsell, I did get a nice mango margarita, which really hit the spot! You can see a pic of it below. But this man was hungry, I ordered a combo plate. It had a beef taco, a tostada, and an enchilada. With just a little bit of rice thrown in for good measure. OK - now here's the thing. Was the food any good? Was the ambience of the restaurant adequate for the price point? Yes and yes! Gotta say I was impressed. And a special shout out to the waiter, who gladly took a picture of us while we were chowing down our meal! Needless to say the waiter made all the difference, frankly - the service was very impressive and the food was pretty darn good too. Oh, I forgot to mention the chips and salsa? Very garlic forward and a nice little spicy hit and was absolute perfection! The funny part of it is that this place was right across the field from where the Seattle Mariners do their spring training - I had brought my mom here, probably 25 years ago as she was a major Mariners fan and wanted to see this place. Of course the restaurant wasn't across the street back then! But what a cool location and what a nice restaurant. Definitely will return when I'm back in the Phoenix area!

Incredible flavors, sauce and some (arugula?) lettuce in the burrito. I am NOT a lettuce person, but this dark green lettuce so complimented the burrito that I have to say you can never take it out.

Otherwise the carne asada, lengua and tripa tacos were all delicious and generously portioned! They have grilled jalapeños, and a self-serve garnish bar with 4 different types of salsas, pickled red onions, sliced cucumbers, shredded cabbage, diced onions and chopped cilantro, lime, and their liquidy guac. We came back already for their crunchy tripas and will continue to visit for our taco/burrito fixes. Service: 5-stars - Open kitchen behind the service counter allows you to see how they cook their meats over the charcoal grill. Our order came out pretty quick. 10-15 mins max. It's a fast casual spot so open seating, no host/waiters but there are workers that clean the dining area. Ambiance: 4-stars - Nothing special but clean and open dining areas. Multiple TVs for your viewing pleasure along with an outdoor patio area for outdoor dining. Overall 4-stars - I will say, after ordering for takeout last week, the best experience is to dine-in. The tripas were not as crunchy when taking home to eat. However, if you like your tripas crunchy like I do, dine-in and eat fresh is the best. Tacarbon satisfied our taco craving but they also offer cheese crisps, burritos and plates that include tortillas and beans. Pretty good overall, but definitely still room for improvements - especially for the premium price point. Definitely recommend to check out if you haven't already. It's probably going to be our new go-to spot for Mexican food.

Title: Tucson Taqueria: Taco Bliss Awaits! Review: Dear Tucson Taqueria, As Chef B., LLC, a private chef and food enthusiast, I recently had the pleasure of dining at your establishment on May 29, 2023. I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for the incredible dining experience at Tucson Taqueria. The location is 8110 W Peoria Ave, Ste 104, Peoria, AZ 85345. From the moment I entered, I was captivated by the vibrant ambiance and warm hospitality. The Carne Asada and Chicken tacos stole the show, showcasing your culinary expertise. The Carne Asada taco featured perfectly grilled steak bursting with flavor, while the Chicken taco delighted with tender, seasoned chicken. Both were a testament to your skillful preparation. The rice and beans accompanying the tacos were outstanding. The rice was cooked to perfection, each grain separate and infused with delightful spices. The creamy and flavorful beans added a wonderful complement to the meal. Your dedication to culinary excellence was evident in the presentation of each dish. Meticulously assembled, the tacos were a feast for the eyes as well as the palate, reflecting the rich traditions of Mexican cuisine. The service at Tucson Taqueria was impeccable. The staff's warmth and knowledge enhanced the experience, guiding me through the menu and ensuring my visit surpassed expectations. I wholeheartedly encourage all food enthusiasts to visit Tucson Taqueria. Indulge in the tantalizing Carne Asada and Chicken tacos, accompanied by outstanding rice and beans. Prepare to be transported to a world of taco bliss! Thank you, Tucson Taqueria, for providing such an incredible dining experience. Your passion for Mexican cuisine and dedication to excellence shine through in every bite. I eagerly anticipate my next visit to savor the remarkable creations that make Tucson Taqueria a true gem. Sincerely, Chef B., LLC read more
