Absolute Gem of a place! This place kinda hard to find but when we got there it blew my mind!…read moreThe ribeye tacos are out of this world. Thinly sliced rib-eye with a side of Taco is the best explanation. The ribeye extends further than the tortilla! It is absolutely dripping with flavor and delicious. I'm literally salivating as I'm writing this review. This is an absolute staple for every single time I'm in or near Tucson Arizona. The only way can I express how delicious this taco is would be to give it 10 Stars if I could! Moving on to the quesadilla I really enjoyed it with the mix of cheese and meat it was a wonderful combination but nothing beats a simple flavor other ribeye taco. They were both scrumptious in their own right. The service was very quick and they had a separate area where you could take out the tacos with toppings which I didn't find out until the end but it was still what are the best experiences I've had with tacos. Anyone in the Tucson area should definitely be coming here on a regular basis and I might even recommend people fly out there just to get the ribeye tacos alone!

A hidden gem I'm so glad I found!…read more Carnitas el Tarasco is definitely a new spot for me, and I'm so happy someone recommended it. From the moment I walked in, the experience was great. The young woman at the front (I believe she and her husband either own the place or are involved in preparing the food) was incredibly welcoming and gave excellent suggestions. I ordered a chavindeca a mixed one with birria and carnitas and wow. It was HUGE and absolutely delicious. The birria was flavorful and well-seasoned, but honestly, I found myself loving the carnitas even more. I'm just a sucker for good carnitas, and having everything mixed together was perfect. We also ordered a mixed carnitas taco and two birria tacos, and everything was fantastic. The sauces deserve special mention, all of them had great flavor with just a light kick, nothing overpowering. My favorite was the in-house chili oil and the green sauce, which was more about flavor than heat and made it easy to keep eating (always a good sign). I even saved room for dessert and tried their chocoflan don't skip it, absolutely amazing. Customer service was spot-on, and the restaurant itself was very clean and welcoming. I did notice a sign that suggested they might be moving locations (possibly just a block down the street) or maybe opening a second spot. Either way, I'll definitely be back, partly to confirm what's happening and mostly because I already want another chavindeca. Highly recommend if you love flavorful, authentic carnitas and great service.

Look, I'm not gonna to lie you...I haven't eaten there in over 10 years. Not because it sucked,…read moremainly because I can't get into the place. It's too busy. Guess why it's so busy? Because it's probably the best Mexican restaurant in Southern Arizona. And now, EVERYBODY knows it. I used to blame the Snowbirds, but it's obviously because of the "locals" now. Not many Canadians spend the summers with us, and the place is still crazy busy in July -but- If you can get in...do it! If I had the time to wait in line, I'd do it too. Enjoy!

The chips & salsa: chips were piping hot, and comes with a bowl of the best green salsa - perfectly sweet with that hint of hot at the end. Amazing! My wife ordered a horchata which was spectacular. My order- pictured shrimp tacos- were absolutely delicious and as you can see the presentation is top tier. We got their dessert special carrot cake to go and had it later that night. The carrot cake is beyond words crazy good. All around just a delightful experience! If you're within 80 miles of this place make the journey. I'm not kidding at all- best Mexican food I've ever had

The cheese crisp with carne seca was really tasty- I've never had anything like it before. I honestly couldn't decide what to get for dinner because there were so many options.

It was so good and honestly two people could have shared this generous portion! The ambiance was cozy and traditional. The service was fine, could have used a little more water refills but they were busy.
