    New taco spot that is truly worth a try! Unfortunately they informed us they run out of a lot of their menu items early but we were still able to try their tacos. Food- amazing and spectacular! The tacos were delicious and mainly due to the meat- generous portions, great seasoning and perfect cook. The meat seemed very high quality! Ambiance- the outside seating is really nice so definitely want to come back another evening. We ended up getting takeout because we were in a rush. Service- incredibly nice and helpful!

    Agua chile arrachera

    Hermosillo has finally made it to Tucson. We walked into an empty "back yard" of the store front. Very friendly staff but the food was the star. The chile arrachera (skirt steak) was perfectly cooked and the sauce was a great acidy and spicy contrast. Then there was the chicarrón, nice crispy chunks of pork in a big molcajete was to the brim with guacamole, pork, green chili and quesadillas. The aguas frescas were amazing too. Wasn't too found of the dessert, but that's just personal preference. Don't be fooled by the causal setting, you are paying for quality.

    Was recommended this place by friends! We came on a busy Saturday night and got seated almost right away. It was super busy and there was no available seating outside, however back patio looked beautiful. You could smell everything cooking while we waited after ordering and it created such an anticipation for our food to arrive. At one point the chef came into the dining area and addressed everyone to say that they have a lot of orders and it was taking a bit longer than usual. It instantly made me feel like I was in a family restaurant When our food came it was perfect and it took much shorter than I expected. This is honestly some of the best asada I've had in Tucson in a long time. I shared the papa asada with my partner and it was SO GOOD. Everything in the condiment bar was fresh tasting, from the guacamole to the salsas. I am coming back and bringing everyone with me.

    Aguachile ribeye

    Honestly one of the best meals I've had in Tucson. Aguachile ribeye is unmatched. Very fresh, cooked right in front of you, incredible salsa bar with fresh guac, and great staff. The owner came up to welcome us and was very personable. 10/10, will 100% be bringing people back to this spot.

    We love this place! We have been coming since they opened! You could call us loyal customers! They treat you like family. We sometimes call ahead of time to see if we could bring a big group with our extended family. Every time they say "Come down. we love all customers, we would love to have you!". They have the best Arrechera in town. Not to mention the best condiment bar with the best homemade guacamole!

    This will be a bit of a story which unfolds in a very positive way. My sister in law from Colorado texted my wife Judy and said she heard of a place in Tucson she wanted to come to next week on her visit here. We were discussing what to have for dinner so I called down and spoke with Jaime who answered the phone and so happens to be the chef and owner. We discussed steak dinners and I ordered the Ribeye dinner and told him I was about 15 minutes away. He agreed to throw it on the grill and have it ready for pick up. Arrived just a few mins more than 15 due to construction in the area, picked it up for a total of $44 out the door for a Ribeye dinner. Picked up the steak from his friendly staff and as I was waiting Jaime came out and we spoke, him asking me to call him once we enjoyed our dinner and let him know how it was. Got the steak home, cut it, shared and enjoyed one of the best ribeyes, tender, juicy, perfectly cooked med rare with a simple light seasoning and great flavor. The potatoes were the same as was the bean taco and delicious cheese stuffed green chile. The quality of the food was as good as any premium steakhouse I've visited yet the price a quarter of what you would expect to pay. I cannot wait to come back and advance order his Tomahawk steaks which must be ordered in advance and that is what we will treat our sister in law to next week. Do not pass on this great find on 30th St/Park Ave, everything looks great, smells great and the nicest people in life. What a find!

    Best Carne Asada in Town! Recommend for anyone that enjoys authentic Mexican food. The experience is like being in your own backyard.

    Papada de cerdo en Aguachile

    La Carreta is definitely one of those places worth coming back to. The Carne Asada Tacos and ribeye are excellent -- everything tasted fresh, juicy, and perfectly cooked. You can really tell they focus on quality. The service was also very good: friendly staff, attentive without being overwhelming, and the food came out pretty fast. Great spot if you're craving good carne asada and a relaxed atmosphere.

    The food was excellent! Leyda was perhaps even better than the food; she helped guide us through…read morethe menu and helped us select a lunch we couldn't stop talking about. She's a keeper! Ambiance is comfortable and other patrons friendly and inquisitive regarding our meal selection.

    Came here off of a recommendation, and while it was decent, it definitely didn't live up to the…read morehype. When we entered the restaurant, I was immediately impressed with all of the accolades that Amelia's Kitchen seems to have accrued over the years. Maybe that set my expectations too high. We made a reservation, which I highly recommend, so we were quickly seated. but it did take a bit for someone to actually come and greet us and take our drink orders after being sat down. Then it was probably another 40 minutes before we actually got our food. I'm not sure if it was this lag time that affected the food quality, but several of my items were just lukewarm and some even cold? The star of the show was definitely, the molcajete. This came out sizzling and full to the brim with shrimp, nopales, chicken, asada, cheese, and lots of other goodies. In hindsight, I probably should've ordered one for myself. I went with the chicken mole enchiladas. Again, the sauce was okay but not super spicy, and it was a little cold, as was my side of rice and beans. We also ordered the mini birria chimis to share. and these were just OK, they tasted like frozen food. Overall, if you come here, I highly recommend getting the molcajete, but can't really vouch for any other items. Maybe we'll try it again on a less busy night.
