Wow this place sucks. Like shockingly. I came in for taco Tuesday. I was craving a good fish taco and I really prefer when it's fried with a good seasoned batter. In my previous review I mentioned the tacos here were stellar. I'd like to retract that statement. I came in Tuesday despite there being no taco deals. There is a 10% off Yelp check-in offer that is no longer available but it was honored. I got 4 tacos: 1 carne asada, 2 fish and 1 al pastor. Before discount 19.75 after $17 something. The carne was dry but properly seasoned not much grill flavor tho. The fish was laughably small. For $3.75 a taco I felt grifted, like someone had robbed me. Each taco came with 2 cut pieces of fish "filet", one the size of my pinky and one the size of my ring finger. The flavor was okay. I asked for the cream chipotle sauce that's typical for fish tacos to be on the side, which was tasty and I was given a lot of it. The Al pastor was PITIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!! I used to say this was the best Al pastor in Tucson. Cubed pork seasoned and grilled to perfection with an amazing marinade. Not anymore it was a shredded overly sweet mess. The ambiance was fine. It's clean. What did annoy me is they don't have any plastic to go cups so I couldn't take anything from the condiment bar. I assumed they gave me limes so I was sorely disappointed when I got home. But limes would not have saved my food. For this amount of money I could sit down and be full till my hearts content. I will not be coming back. Another Tucson stable bites the dust. read more

This place is awesome! The food is so good. As you sit down they bring you chips and salsa and from the first bite of those crispy delights and fresh salsa you know you are in for a treat. We got burritos and the tortillas are top notch as well as the fillings. I got the red mole chicken and the flavors were incredible. It was juicy in the best way possible. The salsas from the salsa bar was an amazing compliment to the expertly crafted burrito. The service is top notch as well and the lady running the place is very sweet and helpful. Food came out quickly and was hot and fresh. The ambiance is basic but nice. It's the perfect place! Come and you will be happy. read more

Taqueria El Pueblito - Chicken Mole Burrito. So good! - Mexican Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Hands down the BEST menudo in T-town. I wish they made both white and red BUT regardless the red is superior to all others I have tried all over the city. They bring out a container with a heap of lime/lemon, cilantro, and onion as well as a grinder with Mexican oregano and chiltepin! This place also has other excellent dishes and their house made guac salsa is one of my favorite things to eat in the planet. read more

Stopped by this restaurant for a quick bite and we left fat and happy. No issues with the service and the lady taking orders was friendly and welcoming. Our food also came out fast and was piping hot! The food was pretty good although the asada was sort of fatty but nonetheless, it was good! The prices are average and the atmosphere of the restaurant is that of a typical taqueria. One thumb and one big toe up for this place! We'll definitely be back. Happy eating, my foodies! read more

2/5* for flavor --Guisidos we tried were bland, lots of it, but amiss in flavor profile in chicken mole taco and chicken  burrito. Quality product though, lovely salsa bar, labeled and with reusable metal cups, greatly appreciated for sustainability as well as the metal baking sheet plating. Nice clean dining room with a few tables, Fountain machine behind the counter and a chalk board menu. Chix Mole was not so complex, no chocolate or warming chile and just slight hint of sweet, light orange in color, a similar shade to the chicken burrito that had  mild smokiness but not much else. The Pico de Gallo is oddly spicy hot.  Burrito value filled 5/5* with heaps of chix _10.50 lunch special with large Fountain Drink, but while taco equally full, just one 5" wheat tortilla $3.25, 2.5/5*. Mild Green,medium Chipotle, Hot Avocado and spicy Red salsa with fresh pickles red onions, carrots/jalapenos and limes available self serve salsa bar.  Was just running errands so glad to try it but looking for more flavor next time. Grilled meats maybe but pass on the guisidos. read more

We came in for dinner last week. I wasn't impressed unfortunately. My husband ordered a taco salad and it came in a metal dog food type bowl. The beans were a bit on the dry side and tasted old. I had the 1 taco, 1 enchilada plate, and it was just underwhelming. They didn't have ground beef, which is my fav in a taco, and was just small and meh, the rice wasn't great either and also on the dry side. I would go back to try a breakfast burrito though, I hear good things about them! read more

This is quickly becoming my go to spot for fast delicious Mexican food. This most recent time I ordered the 1-2 person family pack and added a cheese quesadilla to the order. This will easily make 3 meals for me at least, which is really nice when you live alone on a budget and can't always find the motivation to cook. Everything was prepared quickly and the entire meal is delicious as I've come to expect from them. The tortillas are soft and chewy, beans and rice are well flavored, salsas are always fresh, mild to moderately spicy, and the barbacoa and other meats I've had are full of flavor and are very tender. The rajas are always very creamy and loaded with cheese and peppers. They are very generous with taco and burrito fillings, always friendly and clean when I visit the restaurant in person, and the consistency is very good. read more

Salsa was great but the carne asada breakfast burrito is pretty much all French fries. The salsa was on point though.

Delicious breakfast burritos! I wish they had substitutions available for delivery apps. I called in for bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast burritos with no potato but add refried beans. Everything was perfect and exactly as I requested when I picked it up. No surprise cabbage like some other places around town. They gave me plenty of the kind of salsa I requested. Thanks you guys!! read more

Walking in, the ambiance was very homey and welcoming. The menu had a wide verity of options, but not overwhelming. We were quickly sat and given chips and salsa. Barbacoa burrito was delicious and I had plenty to take home. The breakfast burrito with beans and sausage was everything we could ask for and more, also had some for the road. Overall we loved this trip! read more

The barbacoa and chicharron chimis with red sauce were delicious! Everything was fresh, and the prices are great!

Had the egg, potato, cheese burrito with rajas con crema. Excellent flavor. Fast and friendly service. Casual atmosphere.

Wow I had seen this listed as a great Mexican restaurant but what I got was inedible. The bean and cheese burrito was so salty. The carne asada taco had dry meat. And the rice had an odd flavor. Super disappointing read more

When we lived in Tucson we used to come here all the time. Now that we live in Phoenix we can only get it once in a while. It has been a few years since we were here but we were so happy that it is still here. We always get a Zacatecas burrito con Juevos and just have it like a breakfast burrito. It is huge. It is delicious. The people who work here are nice. They did not shame me for asking for "taquitos" when I should have said "flautas". I was ordering those for the first time for the kids. The interior seems to have had a little remodel. It was clean. The bathroom was clean. No complaints. Actually my only complaint is that the food in Phoenix just isn't as good. I wish they would clone this one up there. read more

The service and ambiance was decent. The food on the other hand didn't thrill me. Ordered the al pastor taco and it was not at all like i'm used too! This resembled a barbacoa taco. Shredded meat and it was watery. Barley had any pineapple. The chicarrones tacos were mushy and wet not something I like but to each their own. The bean taco was extremely basic . Blob of beans with cheese. Something your picky nephew would want. The bottled lemonade was good. read more

We were on the hunt for more than just eggs this Easter! Realizing most of our usual spots were closed for the Easter holiday, we were delighted to have a friendly voice answer the phone and advise they would be open until 3pm so we could still grab lunch! This neighborhood spot was somewhere we'd driven by many times but never stopped in so it was a great time to try something new and I'm so grateful we did. There was plenty of parking, a lovely patio, and tons of seating inside. The space was clean and the music was a nice touch complementing the wall of really cool photos in the dining area. The staff were very nice and helpful, quick service, and it didn't take long to get our food even though the place was starting to fill up with people. We ordered the cheese enchiladas with red sauce, a kids bean and cheese burrito (for when you want to test it out, but know you can't put down a whole burro), and the shredded beef tacos. It was AWESOME! The beans were done perfectly with the right combo of smooth with some bean bits left in tact, the rice was moist and tasty, and as a cheese enchilada junkie - they are a must try! The sauce was smoky with just a hint of heat and the white cheese on the inside was creamy and smooth - muy bien! The shredded beef tacos and bean and cheese burro were equally as tasty and the prices were very reasonable - I think I have a delicious new neighborhood Mexican food spot to add to the rotation :) read more

This taqueria is kvetched in between an Italian/Greek place to its left and a gourmet salad place to its right. All three have shaded outdoor seating where one can gather to eat. We did just that with three dogs yesterday. We wanted to eat before walking a section of the Loop and the outdoor seating is what got our attention. I ordered a #10 dinner, a Mini burrito combo with rice and beans and meat of your choice. I had pollo asado in my burrito. The meat was well-spiced but the burritos were a little on the hard side. Some salsa helped soften the burritos and I enjoyed my meal. I got two meals out of my food My friend had a bodacious chimichanga with rice and beans. He liked it so much, he ate the entire meal in one sitting. He didn't even give his dog a morsel. Service was fast and friendly. Food is for take-out or outdoor dining only, and patrons must be masked inside. The indoor seating is closed off during the pandemic, but there are four tables outside, one at each corner of the patio. read more

Stopped in for a burrito. Torn between pollo asada and pastor. Asked if they could make a 50/50 burrito. They did. Amazing. Tender and moist chicken. Pastor had great flavor. Thank you!!! read more

Covid-19 update So they are only open for takeout and delivery and that is ok. However, the quality of the takeout is very substandard. I really like this place but they are currently just throwing things in a box and giving it to you outside. No flavor, no consistency and tasteless. Hope when the finally open they improve big time or I will drop them from my list. We received a box that was suspense to be three shredded beef tacos. After opening the box, I am not sure what was what. read more

A tasty and humble Mexican grill that has no shortage of proteins to customize into nachos, fries, burritos, tacos, quesadillas, and more. I went with their signature item--the Zacatecas burrito--with carne asada, bacon, grilled onions, and cheese. It was a bit too fatty for me but I just love trying new burros that are different from what everyone else is doing. Can also vouch for their al pastor. I tasted one of those tacos and it was great stuff! Prices are a bit more than a drive through place, but the quality is way better too. Orders come out pretty gosh darn fast, and there's plenty of seating indoors or out. If you want a quick dinner with good ingredients, you couldn't go wrong here. read more

Updating my review. A year later and I'm still in love with this place. I finally tried their breakfast burritos and those were even better than the tacos! And the tacos are awesome. The carnitas are amazing! read more

We arrived at this little place with a very impressive menu, including my new favorite, chicharon, at 7:16pm tonight and it's now 8:30pm. I now have a mild stomach ache but fortunately I don't think anything will explode. HOWEVER... I had to rush my Mexican friend to my home's restroom right quick because, well, even though she says she's been eating tacos since she was conceived and usually has a stomach of steel, she almost blew up my car's interior with the remains of her al pastor taco. Yep, just one slushy taco. That's it. If she obliterates my plumbing I'm sending the restaurant owner the roto-rooter bill and a sample of the incendiary sauce. But the staff was friendly! Update: it's 9:00pm and I just took some pepto. read more

Excitement turned into disappointment I was excited for the chicarron taco. Not only it was spicily tasteless, the topping wasn't crunchy! The price was overly expensive. Most tacos were over $3 and tasteless at the same time. I have had better in Mesa, AZ. I thought Tucson is near Mexico then it should have better tacos for cheap but I was wrong. I knew there are other places in Tucson that offer more topping options but they are still expensive. This place? For the price I paid for, I didn't get the food that I deserve. read more

In many ways I love this little Taqueria in the busy area of Campbell Avenue. The staff is pleasant the setting is clean and quaint. The food is tasty. Today was our second time there. Today I ordered the veggie burrito. I expected to get some onion, peppers, maybe squash, and tomato .... a mixture of veggies. Instead the filling was primarily beans and rice with a tiny bit of onion and a tiny bit of lettuce. Since I had also order the platter I had plenty of beans and rice already. I was quite disappointed. I will return, but I will not be getting the veggie burrito again. Also, my wife asked for a carne asada enchilada and was told it was not on the menu but it was listed on the board.....and we had it last time. So there are some catches.....but overall I like supporting this place. The food is tasty....but they need to tighten a few things up. It seems like authentic Mexican cuisine to my eyes and taste buds (which are not expert). read more

Nice place with comfortable seating. Burritos are huge and flavor is great. Loved the chicken enchiladas! Good value for price. Service was quick and very responsive. read more

As part of my responsibilities of finding restaurants to try out when on travel, I decided to check this place out considering I was in town for a conference. I was looking for a place who had some good green chile and tacos for lunch. I stumbled upon this place while just browsing Yelp and trying to find good food for the time we have off for lunch and with a group, we checked this place out. This spot has some charm to it, and it comes out that most good Mexican spots have the same charm. Hole in the wall, not the best dining or anything...just really simplistic and a salsa bar. That's it. So what did I get? I ordered a green chile burrito and two tacos, an al pastor and chicharron. Now if you had the choice of what to get, burrito is the way to go. It's big and it'll satisfy your appetite. The green chile burrito wasn't spicy, so if that's what you're expecting don't expect it. I would suggest the salsa bar and add peppers to it if you want it spicier. The chicharron taco was pretty spicy, and I was warned when I ordered it. If you're looking for spice, this is the taco to get. I also ordered an Al pastor taco, which had plenty of flavor and the comfort of al pastor was there. Overall, this place is definitely solid. I don't know if it's the best, but it's better than anything I've had from where I live. I would say go here if you're trying to find a place for lunch and pretty solid Mexican food. read more

Ordered the menudo and al pastor taco. The taco was nothing to write home about, especially for its price. However, I was craving menudo so badly, but usually would have an issue going to a place before it's run out. Now, I just get it delivered since I'm not sure if I could force myself out to beat the crowd. The flavors are excellent, though I have to admit I have not had a bad experience with menudo in general. The organ meats were cooked well, not hard at all. You definitely can't go wrong or during menudo from here. 5/5 stars solely for the menudo read more
