Taquería El Rápido — Restaurant in South Tucson

My friend and I went there for his Birthday. Unknowingly we showed up at 6:55pm when they close at 7pm 😲 The lady at the counter that greeted us, was SO NICE! Welcomed us to stay and eat, even after we insisted on leaving because it was so close to closing time. I had the Birria burro. It was delicious!! Best birria I’ve had yet. We didn’t ask, but she was awesome and brought us over a plate full of radish, pickled onions, pico de gallo and cucumber along w/ a couple of salsas, clearly after they had cleaned up their salsa bar.
