Seek out this treasure of a taco shop! A diamond in the rough! A “Vaca” is a quesadilla with meat: a must try! The birria broth is particularly stomach—not greasy nor too spicy—but if you prefer swing by the fresh salsa bar to spice it up to your liking. The Chile Colorado taco is to die for!

We were passing by Tucson and decided to go and try Taqueria la Vaca best decision ever. It was so delicious and we are from California and I mean they sell the best queso birrias. I will surely visit again. The food is amazing tacos de cabeza and the menudo is delicious.

Taqueria La Vaca in Tucson is a true gem for lovers of authentic Sonora-style Mexican food. I've been here twice now, and both visits left me impressed and craving more.
Today, I tried their birria, which was bursting with rich, savory flavors that felt like a warm embrace of traditional Sonoran cooking. On a previous visit, I had the cabeza, and it was equally outstanding—tender, flavorful, and perfectly prepared.
What makes Taqueria La Vaca stand out is its dedication to quality and authenticity. The handmade corn tortillas are exceptional, reflecting the essence of Sonoran cuisine—they’re fresh, soft, and carry that unmistakable homemade taste. Everything here is crafted with care, and it truly shows. Not to mention, the place is incredibly clean, adding to the overall fantastic dining experience.
Great Mexican food, very good Mexican food and a good atmosphere.

This time we tried the quesabirrias, they were very good, they are not spicy, and also the menudo, everything is good and anyone can try it since it is not something that is spicy. There was music at a very low volume, you can talk
