Absolutely delicious food! One standout for me was the rice — so many Mexican places serve rice, but good rice is something else entirely. This was perfectly seasoned with a great texture — easily some of the best I’ve had.

I had the tacos de cabeza, and the meat was tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The red salsa has a nice kick to it — be cautious if you’re sensitive to spice, but it really complements the flavors well. The beans were also fantastic — rich and comforting.

To top it all off, the lady attending was incredibly friendly and sweet, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend!

Hands down my favorite taco spot in Tucson. I’ve been coming here since they initially opened and I’ve never had a a bad meal from them! The family that runs it is so kind and friendly and always remembers a regular! Quesadilla, tacos, burritos, everything is delicious and made fresh to order! Their house horchata is delicious and always hits the spot! 10/10 recommend. I tell anyone that’ll listen that this place is worth going to!

Great customer service, good food and very economical. Had the 3 tacos, beans and rice plate for only $10. 3 tacos include 1 adobada, 1 asada and 1 pollo. Tried there cabeza taco which was good too.

Covered areas with tables to sit down and eat. Food was great and came out the window fast enough!

In my Personal Opinion, 'El Mezquite' whose main streets are Palo Verde and Alvord is the most delicious place that can exist here in Tucson. The Service is 10 and the girl who cooks also takes care of everything else. It seems to me that Ella is the owner too and she is super kind and humble. I ordered a Caramel and it was finger licking good. The cakes looked delicious too and the tacos, well not to mention. 100% recommended.

Parking: Main streets are Palo Verde and Alvord. Main calleds are Palo Verde and Alvord.

Kaffette was wonderful! Very attentive, friendly, and made sure we knew everything about the menu and what else was available at the hotel.

Nice and clean place for a good meal. A solid four stars for the tacos, which I had, but the burrito and Quesabirria tacos were five star my son said. Service is fast and there are several tables. We were there on a Saturday so not much of a crowd. Prices are good and the hours are posted in the pic. Several people came buy and got "to go" orders. The portions are generous; especially the burrito. Don't get a burrito AND tacos. Don't ask me how I know.

Parking: You can see from the pic there is room for several cars at a time.

Kid-friendliness: The kids are welcome and it's a covered tent so they can play inside or in the parking lot.

Wheelchair accessibility: No barriers as it is located ground level and all the tables have moveable chairs.
