Got there at 7PM and they were taking everything down, online it said open until 9pm, on a different day I showed up at 6 and they told me it was 1 hour wait to get the food out, it's no use to have great food if you can not abide by your own schedule.
Best tacos in town
Genuinely amazing tacos, chose this place at random and is now my favorite restaurant in all of tucson, even the locals love it. Get the tacos con queso and put on pineapple!! But everyone tastes great
Great food and service. Maybe the only spot around where they serve tacos al pastor directly from the trompo. Very well served.
Food is so good but they never have everything to offer. You get there and they say we are not taking any order because we have to many order. But there is like 5 tables open.
Epic al pastor tacos! Super big, packed with meat very tasty!! Definitely will go back!
The best Al pastor tacos in Tucson!!!
Absolutely incredible food and service!!!
Drove from marana to try this place . Got there at 9 p.m and it was closed , onl8ne it says they close at 10 smh
I tried the Tacos Al Pastor, and the meat was spot on—flavorful, well-seasoned, and had that authentic taste you’d expect. The marinade was just right, with a nice balance of smokiness and sweetness. However, the tortilla was a letdown. It didn’t seem handmade and had that store-bought corn tortilla texture that turns hard if you don’t eat it fast enough. A fresh, handmade tortilla would’ve taken these tacos to the next level.
Interestingly, they also removed the mulitas from the menu to replace it with the vampiro, which I suspect was a result of using the wrong tortillas. If they had handmade tortillas, it might have saved the mulitas. Overall, great meat, but the tortilla held it back from being amazing. Also couldn’t try the birria it wasn’t available

Suggestions from friends are not always good, but this one was definitely right on. The meat is so tender, and there is so much flavor. We will be making this place one of our regulars.
Highly recommend. Happy to see it open again.
We went there after reading the review in the paper. The food was delicious and the server was very helpful. It was the first time I ever had cow check and loved it. I had one question, I saw that it El pastor was written up in the review and is highlighted in the website but it wasn’t on the menus we were given. Maybe you have to ask for it.
I highly recommend this food truck if you are in the area.
DELICIOUS??

The al pastor mulita is a little greasy, the cheese does not melt, the al pastor tacos are a good size and well stocked, the trompo was missing the pineapple on top
