Reviews

One of my favorite Mexican food place around the area, the food is always amazing.
However the service is kinda meh, when I use to go there was this elder lady that's really sweet and nice, but recently its been these younger ladies that just seem like they don't want to be there, if you're nice and respectful they look at each other with disguised and side eyes you, and they give out the salsas that's less than half full


Just a solid experience. Food is excellent, service is friendly and prompt, and it feels very cozy inside. The flavours are great, it's hot and fresh, and is very fairly priced.
Portion sizes are healthy, and I left feeling pleasantly full after having the Especial Rustica. Would happily come again.


I’m unimpressed with this place.
Surely it was good at some point in time but today is not that day.
The “best places to eat in Tucson” really lost its credibility for me on this one. I’ve had better vegan tacos than this and I’m not even vegan or vegetarian.
The shrimp tacos were good despite the cheese not being very melty.
The quesabirria tacos were underwhelming with under-seasoned meat served lukewarm and the tortilla seemed stale.
The beef ribs were terrible.
The silver skin was still on the rib and they were dry, under-seasoned and tough.
The birria consume was the worst one I’ve ever had.
It wasn’t terrible, it just didn’t taste nearly as good as any of the consume’s I’ve had with other birria tacos. However, the salsa was my favorite part.
The 3 salsas were delicious, flavorful and packed just the right amount of heat.
