5 stars accurate. Best, most authentic tacos in Tucson. Learn some Spanish because they don't speak English.

***Update January 2026. They usually do have someone who speaks English now. Also, I usually get a Mexican Coke and I rarely ever get agua frescas at Mexican places because mostly they use the bogus corn syrup artificial flavored concentrates. Well not El Tacoson. I took a chance and got a jamaica. Let me tell you it's the BEST jamaica I've ever had anywhere and it's not even close. It's authentic homemade on a different level than all the rest. I wish I could give them extra stars.

The food was amazing! Amazing flavor and they give you a good amount of meat which is amazing! We went here for my birthday dinner and it was well worth it! Everyone was so nice and fast! And of course delicious!
The medium actually had a kick to it and the hot was actually hot! 10/10 would go again!

I had 3 tripita tacos and they were delicious. The carne asada burro and burro percheron were also delicious. Sauces? Prefect amount of spicy and flavor. The side of ranchero beans were just the finishing touch. Don't waste your time and money somewhere else, EAT HERE

We tried 7 different tacos here and they were all INCREDIBLE. The staff was really kind and inviting as well! The meat was so tender and every salsa was delicious and flavorful. Do yourself a favor and bring your friends or family here as soon as possible.

So delicious!! I got 2 pastor and 2 cabeza tacos and they were all loaded and the meat was super tender! I love all the choices of topping and salsas they have. They also give you a side of gallina pinta broth and it goes perfect with the tacos! The customer service was also great!

$65 for quesabirria and a percheron with drinks is definitely overpriced. This is especially true considering the burro had mostly vegetables in it instead of meat. I wouldn’t come back until these things are adjusted. They used to be great before they started skimping you out of the meat.

Curious about their mariscos, this location was decent, service was decent even though took awhile for food to come out. They seemed a bit confused on ppls orders. Also meat was very salty. The papa loco i was disappointed with its 15$ for half a papa & there were a lot of mushrooms>.<

I have been looking for a food taco truck like this for a very long time. The birria, asada, and pastor tacos were all delicious. The atmosphere was great and everyone was very friendly!! We will definitely be back!
