“Súper riquísimos los de al pastor“

“Quesabirras and the Torta de Pollo was so yummy per my Hubby. The Bartender was so nice and the drinks were cold. My Michelada with Modelo was spot on. Go try.. 🍻👏😍🙃“

“Ordered two macho carne asada tacos and four of the regular tacos. Next time I’ll just do the regular because they were just so much better. The service was great, the servers were really friendly, and everything inside and outside was super clean.
Load up your tacos with the pickled onions and both types of green salsa and you’re good to go!“

“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.“

“Muy recomendado ,muy buena la comida y son muy limpios para cocinar y todo👌“

“The tacos are delicious. And the waiter and the waitress are very nice. And the waiters name is ceasar. and the waitress name is Layda.“

“We went to grab ingredients for a delicious grilled taco night and were not disappointed. Marinated skirt steak, pico, and pickled onions were superb! We also grabbed refried beans, tortillas, and various bakery items. We will absolutely be returning. I wanted a fresh made meal but we weren’t hungry at the time 💔“

“when I came out to Tucson to visit family, this was the first place I was taken to eat & I was hooked!! Best food my whole 2 weeks there! Made multiple stops! Will be my 1st stop when I come back!! You don't deliver to Ohio do ya?? 😋😋“

“Riquísimo todo muy buen servicio“

“These guys were at the Annex (Mercado San Augustine) serving up the absolute best Sonoran dogs! Had a couple, and could’ve eaten a couple more. So, so good, and the prices are just right.“

“just discovered this place.. i had the cuban taco plate and just yesterday, the chilaquilas? both were excellent. staff is friendly and takes their time to make sure they answer all your questions, never felted rushed. wonderful setting, very relaxing. i plan on eating my way through their menu.“

“The first time I came to eat here was about 5 years ago. I hardly ever write reviews but this place deserves it. Great service. Great food. I get the tacos combo: 2 tacos (your choice of meat and style), Sonoran dog, and a soda. I also order French fries, but that’s mostly because they have those classic diner fries from the 80’s/90’s. Haha. They have a KILLER salsa bar. Different salsas, guacamole, cucumbers, mushrooms, cheese…All the goods! I don’t live on that side of town, so I drive 35 minutes but if I did I would weigh 600 pounds. I could eat there everyday and have something different for months/years. CHECK THIS PLACE OUT!! Indoor and outdoor dining. The outdoor is covered with misters and fans.“

“Love it food is great and workers are super friendly“

“I liked the tacos although a bit spicy for me but don’t go by my milder preference, because the shells were great, the portion size was great, the flavors were good - I mean it’s not fine dining and it is definitely flavorful. In my case it was the rolled tacos that I found much better than the regular chicken tacos.“

“muy buen servicio AL millon“

“Los mejores tacos que hemos probado El sabor sonorense presente , que delicia , tienen que visitarlos 100% recomendados excelente servicio“

“This place is a roadside taco 🌮 truck, with a covered patio seating area with folding tables and chairs. I do not speak Spanish and it took me a moment to catch on to his accent but it was no problem. Super nice guy. But the food. Ahhhh mazing. I got the combo birria and churro. Just dang delicious. Sloppy fun. I am slam full and took 3 home for ten bucks. Whaddaya want? This place is bangin'. Muy delicioso.“

“The tortillas are huge, fresh, and stretchy. Burritos come in at least 3 sizes:regular, large and extra large. We split a large and it was more than enough. They have many kinds of burritos. We had the chicken Colorado. It has amazing flavor and the salsa has a Smokey flavor that added to the flavor of the red sauce. We also bought Corchitos. They are super fresh and soft. We will be back before we head back to Oregon.“

“So I go here as much as I can, I live far away, but it's worth the drive, when you find a taqueria that's as good as this, you just don't go anywhere else. I always eat tacos de cabeza, because they're the bomb, and lots of meat. But today I tried a different taco that had cheese and it looked like they were dipped in birria juice. Man they were so good, I can't wait to try them again. And definitely not expensive.“

“Something about those quesadillas 🔥😍“

“Always worth the drive. My family and I followed them from when they were located on Benson hwy and Columbus. We were so lucky to find them after a year of looking for them. The food is great. The staff always gets it right and customizes our order with special requests. There are great variety of items to order: tacos, burritos, tortas, sonoran hot dogs, combo dishes, shrimp dishes, tostitos, birria and corn cocktails. Try them..you won't be dissapointed.“

“everything is fire!! get yourz!!!“

“Stopped in for a quick snack, tacos were very good, had a couple carbs asada and one chicken. All had really good taste. Salsa bar was great had everything you needed. Staff wasn’t very friendly, kind of seemed annoyed I couldn’t hear a thing they were saying.“

“I went to try the hotdogs and they did not disappoint way better than Guero Canelos and can’t recommend this place enough!, clean and affordable 10/10 will be returning soon!“

“las mejores quesabirrias que emos comido,tortillas echas a mano y en el momento y el propietario no atendió excelente. también recomendamos las pizzabirria“

“They have great food, the carne is awesome, and they are open pretty late on weekends which is great! Wait times aren’t the best but the food is definitely worth it, I try to eat here at least twice a month, staff is very friendly, and prices are decent, area isn’t the best but they do have inside seating“

“Food is good. 4 stars is accurate. I rated it 5 stars overall because the staff is nice, prices are right, location is great, salsas are above average, portions are decent, selection is good, etc. Don't expect to be blown away like it's the best Michelin star food you've ever had. But seriously it's good, especially for mall food it's great.“
