Tucson’s Best Restaurants and Bars: Where to Eat in the Old Pueblo | Eater Phoenix

"A former swap meet stand, chef Juan Almanza signed the lease to open his restaurant mere weeks before the pandemic. Regardless, the spot is now thriving with regulars enjoying slow-grilled costillas and crunchy tacos of tender tripas. The trendy quesabirrias have also become a popular must-have." - Jackie Tran

Where to Eat in Tucson, Arizona's Desert Jewel | Bon Appétit

"Born at a Tohono O’odham swap meet around an open mesquite fire, the brick-and-mortar version turns out slow-grilled carne asada, mesquite-singed costillas, tender-crisp tripas with a house red salsa, and a craveable quesabirria of beef braised overnight in an intensely fragrant chile broth served as a dipping jus for crispy cheesy tacos." - ByJackie Tran

I heard they just opened up here on Grant Rd and Oracle, they were previously serving in the Tohono O’Odham swap meet. Was bored staying home so decided to come here for take out. Got the Parillada (1 lb meat + fixing) for $23 and one goat taco ($2.50 +$1= $3.5). We were allowed to choose hot to 3 types of meat for the Parrillada so we picked Carne Asada + Carnitas + crispy Tripas. She did ask us what tortillas we wanted, we said flour so we assumed we were getting tortillas with the paradilla but when we went home no tortillas to be found. I guess they forgot it, no worries, we got our own tortillas at home and put the meat in. I mixed in a little of the carne asada, Tripas, and carnitas in one taco and it was good! They asked us if we wanted the Tripas soft or crispy so we said crispy! Crispy Tripas is good just a little greasy. The carne asada is ok, could be better if they had wood/ charcoal grilled it. The goat taco was good, the meat was tender, it is an acquired taste, so if you don’t like gamey meat maybe this is not for you since it cost $1 more than regular taco. The lime provided was tiny and dry, hardly any juice coming out but no worries, we grabbed some lemon from our backyard and we were good to go. I’m glad to support local mom and pop shop during this difficult time, will you?

Spotlessly cleaned and happy workers was the first thing I noticed when entering El Taco Rustico. You are politely greeted and any questions you may have about the menu are quickly answered. They are host to THE BEST tacos in all of Tucson and Chef Jose Almanza will blow your mind with his refried beans and homemade flan. Highly recommend to any food lover.

I was on the look out for an amazing taco place. It was suggested I come here and I couldn’t have been more happy to eat here. The tacos are the best I’ve had you have to come here and give them your business. Friendly, nice, and professional.

This is the new place at Oracle and Grant. I live nearby and was hoping for something good to open in this location and I was not disappointed. Just tried the encebollado burrito and bistec torta and both were fantastic. Unfortunate time in history to open a restaurant, but they're really making a go of it. Stop in!
