    2 tacos al pastor with cheese. Pineapple on the left both come with onions Cilantro and avocado.

    This place sell traditional pork al pastor with homemade corn tortillas. They offer a nice traditional topping station. Load them up with you cabbage lemon ,pineapple chuncks and pack you salsa on the side. Snatch some Cucumbers as a palate neutralizer between salsas. I prefer dine in than take out. I felt like the tacos with cheese were bigger than the traditional tacquito taco. You can opt for "con todo" with everything-Cilantro, onions and avocado for inclusive price.

    This place is like a food truck-style taco spot and it's amazing! The al pastor is packed with flavor, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. Everything tastes fresh and authentic, just like real street tacos. The service was quick and friendly, and the vibe is casual but clean and organized. If you're craving true Mexican-style tacos in Tucson, this is a must-try. I'll definitely be back!"

    The BEST tacos I've had in my life!!! I'm a California girl and have had amazing tacos in my home state, but these are on another level.

    A vampiro is a toasted tortilla with melted cheese and your choice of meat, in this case al pastor.

Honestly, I wish I could give Yaquesita a little more, maybe half a star more, because this place definitely has potential. Their flavors are good, but compared to similar restaurants the menu feels a bit overpriced. For a party of three we ended up paying around $100, which felt like a bit much for what we got. The restaurant itself is pretty small with only about 3-4 tables inside, but the patio is a decent size and has a cute vibe. It's actually a nice option on cooler days if you don't mind sitting outside. Some items were better than others. The wet-style burrito was delicious and definitely a highlight. The quesabirrias were good, however the birria felt more like fancier shredded beef. It was missing that rich, spicy, slightly acidic, earthy flavor that usually sets birria apart from barbacoa or traditional shredded beef dishes. The bowl was just okay and had lots of lettuce. It felt more like a salad with a bit of meat, rice, and beans. Honestly, Chipotle does bowls better, and that says a lot considering the price. The nachos were good, but I've had better. Seis Kitchen has amazing nachos to share. That said, it's definitely a place I'd come back to mainly out of convenience, not because one particular item on the menu won my heart. I really do hope they continue refining the menu because the flavors are there and this place could easily become a standout spot. Personally I just think at the total price of my ticket other restaurants should not even have room in my mind during my meal. If you're in the area and looking for a safe bet where everyone will probably find something they like, it's worth giving them a try.

    We had an amazing first visit to Amelia's Mexican Kitchen on Oracle Rd. Alexa took such wonderful…read morecare of us. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind, and she made our whole experience feel welcoming from start to finish. The hosts were kind too. There was plenty of seating, a dedicated bar, TVs, and nice lighting. The patio has misters, which is perfect for this time of year. They offer booth and table seating, and the tables aren't packed too close together. With party members who have different mobility challenges, the spacing was great and made everything comfortable. The food was delicious. The complimentary bottomless chips and salsa were fresh and generous. If you order the horchata, it comes with free refills too, which is such a nice touch. My husband ordered 2 birria tacos with caldo and loved them. My father in law ordered 2 ground beef enchiladas with red sauce, and my mother in law ordered 2 plain ground beef tacos. I shared the ceviche with my dad, which was fresh and flavorful, and we each ordered one Quesabirria. It was so good! Dessert was perfect. We tried the flan and the chocolate flan. The chocolate flan was a moist Bundt-style chocolate cake with flan on top. Both were creamy, delicious, and enjoyed by all of us. Great service, great food, and Alexa truly made our first visit special. We'll definitely be back!

They have a great selection with plenty of options, even for the picky ones (aka me!). The prices are very reasonable, and the food is colorful, beautiful, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the noise level. It gets so loud that it's really difficult to have a meaningful conversation, which takes away a bit from the overall experience.
