The food is somewhat on the pricier side $40 for a caramelo, a burro, a hot dog and horchata The workers were extremely friendly and everything was really clean. The food lack some depth of flavor. Its a Tucson staple but even then 3/5 ⭐️ Not bad not excellent but fair

Passing thru town and friend suggested as real local place for famous Sonoran hotdog (and tacos good as well).
Don’t let the bars on the windows fool you, stop in for good food and friendly service.
Plus it’s right next to Dairy Queen.
Perfect place to avoid the restaurant/fast food chains and support local business.

We ordered online, the order was not complete, waay over priced, and not that great! The one taco was over $5 and only had meat and cabbage on the side.
I asked for cheese, sour cream and avocado, none of the sides were delivered, total price for this crappie single taco was over $10.
When I called the restaurant to let them know about this, they hung up on me several times and eventually picked up the phone and set it on the counter next to them as I listened to people taking orders and completely ignoring me for 10 minutes as I tried to get their attention! Horrible food, horrible customer service! Avoid eating here if you value taste, and don’t like to over pay for bad food and service! Worst place in Tucson! So sad.
