The food is very delicious. It is much better to buy by the taco than by the pound. But everything is very rich. Variety of sauces and ingredients to accompany.

Everything is super delicious and with a very Mexican flavor. Few places where the food really tastes like Mexico.

This place definitely has the best restaurants in Tucson, very spacious, clean and very fast service given the amount of people that come there. Very good flavor, very rich

The food is delicious, however if you want to try this place, make sure to go early. This place gets packed, and found favorite such as the Cabeza tacos and birria sell out fast. The lines get long, but this is just an indication of how good the food is. The homemade salsa’s are amazing packed with flavor and heat. Our favorite has to be the oil salsa which pairs great with any of their menu items. Usually, I am not much of a pork meat fan, however, there are Carnitas are to die for. Due to their popularity, if you decide to try this, please make sure you do it with a patient mind as it gets very crowded and at times the wait time in line and to find a table can be pretty high. But I promise you it is worth the wait. If it’s your first time there I recommend you getting a taco of each of their meats this will be the best way for you to find your favorite item. The only reason I gave the atmosphere a four out of five it’s because when the restaurant is crowded, it is very loud.

This place has some of the best carnitas I have ever had. I also suspect the corn tortillas are made in house. No preservative smells and or stiffness just a soft freshly made tortilla just like my gut demanded. I will join a gym because I know I'll become a regular at this amazing establishment.

A no-nonsense toco shop with great meat tacos. It is a very busy place at lunch and is not open for dinner. No frills but great tacos

One of the rarest places to eat some good home cooked tacos. Everything is made fresh and everything tastes so good will go back again!

The glasses of the sauce and the vegetables are small but that is not the problem, the problem is that they had less than half, I bought 2 orders and the 2 were the same

Jumped in here after a visit to the nearby VA. It was my first visit but I'm sure it won't be my last visit.
Upon my entry l was treated to the best welcome ever. Once I finally decided what to order (it all looked so good) my order was taken quickly and my food arrived practically at the speed light.
I had two beef soft shelled tacos. The accompanying hot oil sauce was a real treat.
I found them packed with meat and stuffed with layers of flavor.
I'd highly recommend a visit.

My family and I were driving cross country and stumbled upon this hidden gem. Great food, best Birria I’ve had in the states and served the correct way, in its own broth. The carnitas were cooked to perfection. The staff was friendly and attentive. We didn’t have to wait more than 5 minutes and the food was ready to eat. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for authentic Carnitas/Birria.

Best pork tacos I've ever had! Wish you had a pheonix location! I will drive 2hrs for lunch any day

The only reason I’m not giving 5 star is watery salsas, red and green.
But everything else no complaints.

Authentic Mexican food. A limited menu makes for fast service and good quality. This is what I would call Mexican comfort food. Birria and carnitas are really good. The salsa bar is also very good. What makes things better are the home made tortillas.
