Tanias 33

I found Tanias 33 last year when I was working the gem show — looking for vegan Mexican — and I loved it so much that I ended up eating there for lunch almost every day for a month. I came back this year, to see if it was still as amazing as I remembered. IT WAS. The vegan nopales ranchero is sooooo delicious!! There are so many vegan options to choose from, and such a fantastic price! Plus they have tots (not sure if those are new this year). I’ll go here every day and only wish they were open until 6 so I could grab a to-go order for dinner after work too! 😁

We got a Bacon and Egg Burrito and added green chili. The XXL was just that, and perfect for sharing. Bought huge, then flour tortillas to take home...you know, the best kind! The girl taking our orders was very pleasant, and the decor is simple but it is clean and comfortable. The signage outside is just a banner so make sure you are paying attention 😀

My friend brought me here after a flight from LAX. I absolutely loved it. One of the owners served us himself. Very nice man, his name is Rudy. He did a great job on introducing his menu, talking about the real estate market, and helping us feel welcome. I can't remember what I paid but I remember it being very affordable, I was surprised at how low the price was for the quality and quantity of the food. I wish they were here in Phoenix, because I would go there often if I had the opportunity. I don't like eating out often, but I would go there often. Homemade tortillas, sauces, and other ingredients. Not going to lie, the outside of the store does look somewhat misleading, but once you get inside it opens right up and is really quite enjoyable. Highly recommend and I would say you'd be a fool for not trying it out.

I love coming to this place. It’s a great local business for burritos, bowls, taco salad,enchiladas and all things Mexican food wise. It’s made fresh and quick. I’ve been coming here for awhile now. The staff is always curious and helpful when we come in. There is tons of seating inside if you want to eat in. My fiance recommended it to me when I first moved down to Tucson. I have been hooked ever since. We typically come here for breakfast on weekends. My favorite is the bacon potato cheese regular burrito.

Just ate a giant breakfast burrito... Order the bacon and everything and add carne asada... Thank me later! Also shout out Fransico, the man deserves a raise! He took fantastic care of me and was very friendly! Should have taken a picture of the burrito but once I took a bite I could not stop!

Sooooooo vegan! Many many options. Delicious. Price is very reasonable. They don't up charge for their vegan options! Rudy helped us and is hilarious and helpful. Will definitely be back very soon

Rudy is an absolutely pleasant person. The food was really good and the portions were great. Definitely a wonderful stop.

This place is great, a Tucson classic! Prepare to be overwhelmed with menu options, burrito size charts and low prices! Staff is friendly, marketing cute, food delicious 🌮

On the West side, I stopped in yesterday to Tanias 33 for a quick to go lunch with a big Al Pastor burrito and Horchata. Yum... Tasty and well priced. I will return.

I've really enjoyed eating at this establishment over the years. I used to love the chicharron burrito and the carne asada is also great. I recently realized what a large variety of vegan options they have and decided to try them out again. The bean burrito with everything was really good. The beans are spiced to perfection. I also added French fries to my burrito which made a great burrito even better! The owner was really helpful and answered all of our questions about the menu. My wife really enjoyed the vegan pastor burrito. If you're looking for good Mexican food on the west side of town, I'd recommend giving this charming little restaurant a shot. You won't be disappointed.

BUYER BEWARE: do not order the pozole. It is filled with fat and gristle. Absolutely awful. SHAME on you for serving this disgusting food.

My friend had the chicken burrito. Sizable for a small six dollar burrito and very tasty. This place Home makes their tortillas and she said they were really good. I had a calabacita bowl which I wish had had more veggies on top. However, the barria was very tasty. Both came with a red salsa that I personally found very watery and bland. But when I requested some green salsa, the lady gave me two containers and it was absolutely delicious. I would certainly come here again. The service is slow but I think that's because it's family run and they are efficient just not enough people to handle all the lunch rush; also, it's rustic inside, but definitely worth the visit.

Delicious food. Great service. Local place cranking out fabulous and home made food. I got tacos. Three types nopales (cactus) Al pastor and carne asada. Really great. People came in getting buckets of tamales so I will definitely be trying that next time! Clean and spacious restaurant. Enough tables to dine for small and large groups.

I have to retract a couple of stars, based on my last visit in March '24. Went to pick up tamales and they didn't have -any-. I think the boss said they were short staffed so I said I'd come back. And I did, a few days later. Got a 6-pack to go and these were a pale shadow of the ones I've had before. Still big, but not very flavorful masa and the beef was very stringy and really dried out. We had to douse them with a lot of salsa. Disappointed and not likely to return. Alternative? Try the place just up the street on the corner of Congress and Grande. Bright yellow outside - you can't miss it. Tamales there are excellent, although if you get a to-go pack it's a dozen vs. six, and they're kind of expensive.

Worse barbacoa tacos I've ever had. Ordered 3 barbacoa tacos. took 1st bite and got a weird taste but drank soda and managed get it down... took 2nd bite and started gagging from the taste. I spit out the food and left 2 1/2 whole tacos + what spit out on the tray pplaced it on the counter and adadvised them the food was disgusting and walked out... never again!

I came here yesterday after hearing from many people it was a must try. Tanias is a real "hole in the wall", but the inside does a have a few tables for seating. I ordered the Vegan Pastor burrito and added carrot tocino. To start, the prices are very reasonable! For a regular size burrito it is $6 and any additions are $1. Also, not to mention, the size of their regular burrito is still GIANT! The flavors in the burrito were strong and delicious! The way the mushrooms were marinated could easily fool someone into thinking they are eating meat (in a good way). In addition, the rest of the fillings in the burrito, like the pico, was super fresh. I have to admit I have not had many burritos in my day, so I do not have much to compare to, but I will say this was a delicious meal! I recommend giving Tanias a try! I have attached three pictures to show the burrito progression. It is all the same burrito, but somehow they look like they could be two different burritos based on what you can see from the inside!

I don't know how to, and I don't want to write this review. I've had the best menudo I've ever had, from Tanias, and today I had the absolute worst, that I've ever had from anywhere. Broth was red, but somehow completely devoid of any flavor. It was just hot, red water. I've never had a dish, that literally tasted like nothing. I added a ton of my own ingredients, to make it edible, but for my money, I am disappointed.

Duuuuude! Vegan paradise in Tucson!!! Their vegan menu is !!!! So many option where do you even start? I got the vegan pastor burrito - large. Omg soooo good!!!! You had me at pineapple marinated mushrooms! Can I just live here? Forever? I need to try everything on the vegan menu and it might take me awhile. Props to this authentic restaurant!

When I ordered a large red chill burrito, I wasn't expecting to get mostly tortilla for $14. I find it to be very overpriced and the last place I'd grab a burrito.

I'm not rating lower because the food is consistently good, but I had a really uncomfortable interaction when I called for assistance. I ordered online but there was no place to make a special request, so I just wanted to call to ask if I could have pico left off of my meal. The person who answered the phone was interrupting me right off the bat. I tried to explain my request but he interrupted me to ask my name and then asked what my name was several times before I could even say it. When I was finally able to tell him my name, I tried to tell him it was for an order scheduled later but he was already yelling back to ask someone else about my order. He let me know it hadn't come in and I was able to tell him it was for a later time. He then got really stressed and told me how he was the only person working, he had to cook and answer phones and he couldn't take time to answer me, he sounded very aggravated with me and let me know I had called too soon, then repeated how he was doing everything by himself a couple of times, then said he had to go and ended the call abruptly. This interaction made me really want to cancel my order. He could have just taken a note of my name and preference, but instead he spent several more minutes on the phone trying to make me feel guilty for calling the restaurant. I understand being short staffed, but the people there should still try to provide some level of customer service. Fortunately I have always had wonderful food and service in the past so I will continue to order from Tania's, but this interaction was incredibly rude.

I've been here several times for veggie burritos, yesterday I tried the Soya Verde burrito, not bad but, I was hoping to get black beans instead of refried & was told they don't offer them. Good selection of ingredients but no frijoles negro (black beans). TV monitors inside have the menus pages scrolling by so it may be easier to read the full menu which is outside near the entrance.

I've only had their breakfast burritos, so I can only comment about those. They serve them ALL DAY LONG. In my book, that's a huge plus. They have three sizes: regular, large, and XL. I've only had the large, and they are pretty big. I can only imagine what the XL is like! The biggest downside is the price to value ratio. It's $13 for a large machaca breakfast burrito. I will say that that was one of my favorite burritos so far in Tucson. Aside from the burritos, their cold brew is dynamite! The service is consistently friendly and attentive.

Do you know that there's not a lot of places open at 7 am for breakfast burritos on a Saturday?!!! Well, I'm here to tell you that Tanias 33 is OPEN! You can order ahead since they do get busy or order there. There are some tables to eat at. There are 3 sizes (Reg/Lg/XL) of burritos, but like a regular size is H-U-G-E and for only $6!!! What a deal!! I enjoyed every bit of my regular sized chorizo & egg burrito, but my stomach hurt since I was so full.... Oh and did I tell you they make their tortillas? They do! They also had pasteles on the counter and I bought some cochinitos (piggy cookies) for a snacky snack later. Eat here. You're welcome!

We stop here often to get tamales and tortillas. They are slays great. Sometimes we have to wait for fresh tortillas so we will often have breakfast. Yes it has to be breakfast as the tortillas sell out very quickly. That is why they are so popular. There breakfasts are very good with many choices. A unique location with s very small parking area. Give them a try.

went in this time. they make their own flour tortillas. they are massive in size and yummy. costs $8. but you are supporting a family owned business

This business used to be the go-to to get delicious and affordable vegan food but over the years the quality and service has really gone down. What this business needs to understand about the target market of vegan customers is most of us are not just health conscious, we are also environmentally conscious. This business uses a ridiculous amount of waste for every order. You literally cannot even get food "for here" without tons of plastic waste. It didn't used to be this way. It's disturbing and totally unaware. I don't go here anymore and I don't recommend this restaurant to anyone even though it's right down the street from my house. I hope they change they're policy but until then, I'm boycotting.

I love coming to this place. It's a great local business for burritos, bowls, taco salad,enchiladas and all things Mexican food wise. It's made fresh and quick. I've been coming here for awhile now. The staff is always curious and helpful when we come in. There is tons of seating inside if you want to eat in. My fiance recommended it to me when I first moved down to Tucson. I have been hooked ever since. We typically come here for breakfast on weekends. My favorite is the bacon potato cheese regular burrito.

I really want to like this place and keep trying. This time I got a beans with everything, supposedly the most popular vegan burrito. It was made with such a huge tortilla that the contents were dwarfed in comparison. Instead, at each end were several inches of nothing but folded tortilla. Imagine a huge tortilla with a very small amount of ingredients. YUCK! I really want to like it but it was icky trying to munch the huge folds of tortilla. Try your own dishes, please and see if you want to eat that huge tortilla, at least half the mass of the entire burrito? boo.

This is an authentic Mexican food restaurant. The food is fresh and hot. Their soups are delicious. The food servings are ample. The prices are reasonable for what you order.

This location is larger than the other one with plenty of sitting room. I got the Birria and Egg burrito. Food was immaculate, horchata was better. Staff was friendly, conversational, and polite. Def coming back to try a B Rex.

I've been back to Tania's and I think that people who order takeout should do a quick check of the food they are taking home. I ordered chicken tortilla soup, and I got the broth with tons of potatoes, and I had to dig deep to find one piece of chicken. Also, no cheese was provided, and no CHIPS! I was able to use some avocado included and sour cream from the carne asada quesadillas (which were yummy) but without chips, I did not get a chicken tortilla soup. Definitely disappointing. We had hiccups in the previous visit with undercooked fries. The place is pleasant and there's lots of variety, but there needs to be a warning of "inspect all take out orders".

The food is good but the prices don't make sense. We ate lunch there today. We had a combo plate with a taco and enchilada and added tamale and a red chili burrito that had beans and cheese in it a can of Dr Pepper and a bottle of Coke Zero and our bill was $43.87. I asked to explain the break down of the bill since it only shows the dollar amount but not the item it's for. We were charged $13 for the burrito (menu says should be $10) and $15 for the combo (menu says $12) $5 for the added tamale (ok, I understand that) $3 for the can of Dr Pepper and $5 for the standard 20 oz size bottle of Coke Zero (that's crazy!)

I was so excited to try to place and I was very disappointed in the quality. Everything was bland the rice tasted old and the vegan meat smelled like wet dog food. Maybe I ordered on a wrong day but I couldn't even finish the meal the only thing edible were the beans.

I recently tried Tanias 33 and I was really impressed. The food was delicious and the prices were very reasonable. The service was also excellent. The staff was friendly and attentive. Their breakfast is really good too!!

Tania's 33 is excellent my wife and I have been going for years and always enjoy our meals and we've picked up Christmas tamales here several times. Service is always friendly and accommodating. We like to eat in the dining area after a trail run I like the large soda cooler with the neon light.

Been here four times. Food is delicious, but everything else is disappointing. They are extremely slow. They have twice given me burritos busting open so i'm stuck eating it with a fork and knife. Napkins aren't readily available on the counter. Generally dirty.

I spent 7 years in Tucson, 5 in Phoenix and this is the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. I used to work down the street at ASDB and this is where all the veteran staff would go. I crave it daily (no lie). I've brought so many people here and it's a true Tucson gem. Parking is minimal, it's hard to spot, and it looks run down but don't let it stop you! Honorable mentions - get the horchatas & try their soup!

Fresh food, large portions, and a wonderful host! Rudy was very helpful with the menu and truly loves his business

We've eaten here three times now, and the food has been great each time. They have quite a few vegan and vegetarian items, which is great! And the price is very resonable - even the small burritos pack quite a bit of food. I've gotten the 2 taco platter each time, and have tried a few different tacos with it - all have been very tasty. My partner has gotten a few burritos each time and have really enjoyed each of them. Each of our orders have been called and placed ahead of time, and we've been given an accurate estimate of wait times each order. The owner has been quite nice to us each time we have placed an order and the one time we called before placing an order to ask some questions. I think it's evident that he takes pride in the food that is made there. He's sounded thankful for my business every time. There are various mexican pastries available for sale on the counter that you can add to your order when you pick it up. I've gotten the pumpkin empanadas twice and the apple empanadas once. The first set of pumpkin empanadas was fantastic, but the filling in the second set was way too sweet. The filling in the apple empanadas wasn't very good either. I think I will likely not get empanadas again, but I will likely try some of the other pastries. The building itself looks kind of rundown, but that's not that abnormal for some restaurants in Tucson, so doesn't bother me. Things have been clean inside each time I was there, and the bathroom was clean as well the one time I needed to us it.

Ordered for the first time today for pickup. All I want is a simple potato, chorizo, and bean burrito. I ordered the vegan soy burrito which should come w beans and potatoes. It's just chorizo! I also ordered both of our burritos grilled w cheese garnish. Neither of them had it. That's $3 extra for each burrito! Maybe eating there is better, but takeout isn't good. I overpaid for things I didn't get.

Good food, but understaffed! Went in at 9:58 on 7/16/23. The restaurant had one table of customers and that's all. We ordered our food and then it was repeated back to us. Sat in there till 10:28 wondering what the heck's going on when we see people coming and going 15 mins after we ordered. So I kindly asked the cashier about our order and she said it was being taken care of. I watched her grab a bag take it around back. She handed off to another employee who came out in less than a minute later telling us our order was ready. She could have just handed it to us instead of giving it to the women in the back when she was giving everyone else their order at the counter. Now for the order. We placed an order the week before and ordered two menudo bowls and a red chili burrito. We got the menudo and red enchilada sauce, but with no burrito. Yesterday's order on 7/16, we ordered two regular red chili chimichangas enchilada style and got two red chili burritos with beans with no red sauce. After paying 37 plus dollars for two burritos and a coke was not worth it! These people need to take better care of their customers. We are the people keeping these businesses running not the other way around. Will definitely not return as this place has always been unreliable.

I am having a rough time between giving this place four stars or three stars. I love that they have so many vegan and vegetarian (on top of regular omnivore) options to choose from. Some of the options are different from what you can find at other partly veg Mexican restaurants (for example, the machaca) and taste good. That said, the food is **incredibly** salty. I mean wow - I feel my body bloating the moment I finish the meal (and look, I love salty/savory/umami flavors but this is over the top). Another thing - Today my fiance asked to have egg whites instead of regular eggs - always an extra charge, but we were told it would double the cost of the meal - yes, you read that right. $24 for a $12 plate because he wanted egg whites (obviously, he stuck with regular eggs). A bit absurd if you ask me. As others have mentioned the wait time can also be really long. I've always had to wait a while for my meal. They only have indoor seating which is fine, but I wish they would play better music. Today was pure Disney tunes which, I do love a Disney song or two, but it just went on and on.... I dunno why they don't play something like Latino music, radio hits, literally anything else...? This is a minor inconvenience I will admit, but when you're waiting almost an hour for food, decent music would be nice. Finally, I find them to be a bit wasteful. Every single order, including eat-in, is wrapped up in a plastic bag with plastic utensils in a styrofoam box. I understand this saves the restaurant from having to hire a dishwasher/wash dishes, but it generates an incredible amount of waste. I don't really see why eat-in orders need to be wrapped up in a plastic bag that will, quite literally, be immediately opened up and thrown away. I mostly eat here when I'm in the area for whatever reason. I always forgot how long the wait is. I'm not saying I'll never eat here again, but this post serves both as a review of the restaurant and a reminder to myself of what eating at Tania's33 is like.

Went to go and pick up some Caldo the queso, The location was nice and clean. Fairly busy. But service was fast. Picked it up to go, to eat at home. Their menu as extensive and have a vast variety of foods that you could get, being a vegetarian/or vegan. It is a good option at this place The staff was extremely friendly, extremely helpful. They have to go options at the location. That are cold in the refrigerator section. They had several drink options. Including aguas Fresca's. (Horchata, Jamaica) very refreshing and delicious. Me at home with my car Doli castle. The flavor was good. The only issue that I had with it. Is that it was over salty. I'm not sure if it was too much bouillon that was placed in the broth, or just extra salt. The flavor was good. It would've been better with a little less salt. It's a nice place to go to grab some Mexican food. I feel that there are better places in town to get some fast Mexican food. But if you're in the area or want to have multiple options of food this is definitely one of the places to go

Diva the girl at the food counter at Tanias 33 Mexican food should not be in a customer service position there. Im not saying she should work there or that she's not a good worker but I AM SAYING HER CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS NEED IMPROVING! Im not perfect I know but if your working in a field where " Customer Service" is a must. Well at least that my option. But the food here is excelente!

If I could give zero stars I would give them zero!! Every Christmas, my stepfather buys tamales from Tania's. They have been decent but they are his favorite. This year he bought two dozen and it came up to $92!!! The family was in shock; personally I would have walked away. But not only was the price ridiculous they tacked on an additional $14 and he has no clue what that was for (even if it was because they were cooked, it should not have been added on). Now let me tell you about the tamales.....DRY!!! The masa was so dry even drinking water with them was not enough. So I decided to just eat the meat and it was plain meat, no sauce, just a few slices of jalapeños in them. Tania's, you should be ashamed of your tamales this year!

Don't order the vegan nachos. I asked for the soya verde and they gave me soyrizo. I asked for NACHOS and the "cheese" was literally a few sprinkles of vegan cold and unmelted cheese. Yuck. Yuck. YUCK. When I asked about the nacho cheese sauce they told me they didn't have it. When I asked about the soya verde they told me it only comes with soyrizo. When I asked why they'd not informed me before taking my money they had no answer. I've given this place too many chances. Don't come here. Go to tumericos or La Chaiteria. Then I called when getting home and the girl laughed. LAUGHED. And said "yes that's why owner is getting rid of the vegan menu" --- yet I remember the non-vegan menus too. Same inconsistency. Same rudeness. Same cold food and bad service.

The food is great. Service not so much. The takeout order was sent out incomplete and they had no way of getting the rest of the order out until 4 p.m. Worse was the 20+ minutes of having to wait on hold for them to figure out a solution. Really disappointing.

Parking situation totally sucks! But that doesn't mean their food does... I always order the Red menudo which is literally red chili menudo. I order the 32 oz which more than enough for one person! It comes with a bag of lime and cilantro accompanied by pan birrote covered in buttery goodness. (Toasted Mexican bread with butter) YUM! The menudo is a perfect kind of spicy. Not unbearably spicy but a medium spicy for those hot/ spicy food lovers! Add the lime and cilantro and you are ready to eat! They've definitely renovated the place andd it looks nicer inside! They now have nice tables and chairs along with TV's on their walls that display their menu items. I didn't like how long I had to wait to get my food and I messed up because I usually put in my phone order and then go pick it up. I waited about 20 mins for my order of menudo. I will remember to place my order by phone next tIme!

Great food, but not the best packaging. They keep a few baked goods and tortillas for sale on the counter. They have a walk up cooler for beverages. For counter service it's not the fastest place I've been to, but the hope is that all the orders are made to order. Parking lot is super small so consider parking along the street north of the restaurant.

I really really enjoy 33 but today wasn't one of those enjoyable times. I took my burrito to go and in the 15 mins it took to get home the burrito soaked up all moisture from the heat inside the HOT DOG container... Cardinal and Drexel wraps theirs.... You should as well instead of ruining the amazing tortillas you have. I'll continue to eat here but I'll just get menudo like I usually do.

Tanias is a solid 3.5 star place. What sets it apart from other Mexican restaurants is the extensive offering of vegan and vegetarian options. The outside of the restaurant is unassuming. Once you enter, there's a wide open dining area that reminds me of a cafeteria. They have packaged cookies, tamales, and a fridge of drinks. The service is basic, but friendly. The food took a while to come out given the number of patrons. I only had the vegan tacos so can only comment on those. They have 6 or 7 vegan filling options. You can get them on a taco, in a torta, as an entree, or in a burrito. They also have vegan soup options which is nice! Didn't get to try those. The soy chorizo was probably the most flavorful. A little dry, but pretty packed with spice. The al pastor was more of an onion, pepper stew with a little pineapple. Not what I expected. The flavor was good, but texture was a bit mushy. I also had the calabacitas which was good. The soya verde was my least favorite. Very bland, spongy, and way under seasoned. A few of the items did fall short, hence the star deduction. But overall, I love the concept and the vegan options. Would be great to come back and try their homemade vegan queso.

I went into Tania's this morning for breakfast, after waiting 30 minutes for our food to come out in disposable styrofoam food plates we thought hmm maybe the food atleast will be good though. my dad ordered a menudo that only had grano in it, we were only given one slice of lemon with it, when we mentioned it we had to pay for more lemons? my order was wrong so my dad mentioned it to the cashier, things happen it was busy but overall we didn't want to wait even longer for a new order. the huevos enchilados I received instead of rancheros were cold as well and my tortilla given along with it wasn't even heated up... Over all pretty disappointed because I love supporting our local businesses. will not be visiting again

Total hole in the wall with THE BEST MEXICAN FOOD ON THE WEST SIDE!! Their vegetarian options are fantastic and the jamaica is the best. Fast and friendly service. We love Tanias!!!

Sunday morning Came for the menudo Because I heard it was one of the best. Waited 20 minutes for the bowls They came out!! Yay!!! White menudo is great. This is not the place for RED MENUDO. DONT COME FOR IT, or you'll be sooooo disappointed. It's like they just poured salsa into the white menudo. Disgusting!!!! Bread was good too. Lol. Rudy was nowhere to be seen. Maybe the crew is being a little to lax???

I hadn't eaten here in probably over 15 years and stopped in for breakfast burritos. The large is enough to feed an army. The one thing that is different from the last time I was there is that they have a decent selection of vegan options. My daughter won't eat meat & Tania's has a lot of choices for her including a soy chorizo breakfast burrito that you can't tell that it's meatless and is cooked just right. Also the staff is very friendly like they don't hate having your business which I noticed you don't see a lot of lately since the Covid debacle.

The food is not great or good, IS JUST plain. The hot sauce is just like if they just opened a can of El Pato hot sauce, doesn't taste homemade at all and very watery it was like water with red dye. I order a burrito with bacon, tots, green chili, and other stuff. I got a burrito with only eggs and bacon, and it was more tortilla than anything else, a giant tortilla with 2 eggs, one strip of bacon. I just hope that in the future, they will improve, but also won't come back..

Ordered Menudo and it was good. Just the right amount of hominy and pansa. Very flavorful. The toasted bread that came with it was perfectly toasted and so good. I am not from Tucson but I definitely will stop again when visiting.
