Street Taco & Beer Co. — Restaurant in Tucson

Impeccable timing: we seemed to have walked in to a restaurant whose line workers may have just received some unfortunate news. The vibe among them was at best grumpy, at worst hostile.

3 of the line workers went to lunch right after we ordered, so hopefully we just caught them all hangry.

Fish for the fish taco was flung to the next station, missed its mark and kept going. A worker caught it, prepared the taco, wrapped it and assumed I would eat it. I could not. The fish temperature wasn’t hot enough to be safe. I paid for it though, because I feared any interaction with this team would be a losing game for me.

Cheese quesadilla looked lovely but had the rancid taste of old oil on a grill top. Also sampled but not finished. Fairly certain this won’t go well for me later, it tasted that bad.

We had the audacity to ask for salsa ( there’s a salsa bar but not immediately obvious to us.) As we were leaving, we saw where the tortilla chips lived, but too late for us. It would have been such a kind human interaction for one of the employees to quickly point those things out. Wouldn’t have changed the food, but might have changed the vibe.

I know this was not a typical experience or this place would have closed by now. I’m just sad that it was our first and...

Absolutely awesome. Had a hankering for tacos and just Googled tacos and this place came up. Jumped in the car not knowing what to expect. Got there, nice place. Restaurant and bar...very clean. Staff very friendly. I had an el pastor taco, a fish taco and a Sonoran dog. I'm a diehard Rubio's fish taco fan. This one could have been better because the filet was already cooked. But the flavor was outstanding. The el pastor rivaled my favorite from Quesadillas on Craycoft. The flavor was amazing. The dog was a little pedestrian but the bacon wrap had a great flavor. You get a free small bag of chips. Very large chips...crunchy and flavorful. This along with an awesome salsa bar was a nice surprise. 2 mild salsas, 2 hots, pico, creamy cilantro sauce, grilled jalapeños, beets, etc...a real treat. I couldn't have been happier overall. A must try if your anywhere near Tanque Verde and Bear Canyon. I'LL BE BACK. Check it out. Again, a very friendly and attentive staff! Thanks guys. Oh, and the tacos are only...

So, first time here. Date night, so we were counting on great food and service. Street Tacos didn't disappoint!

The setup is similar to Chipotle and the like - servers making ng your order as you order it.

We ordered 5 tacos total, a side of guacamole each, and decided on water to drink. The tacos were a combination of chicken, steak, and carnitas (our server called it a "barnyard special", as we had all 3 animals represented!).

My date said one of her chicken tacos was on the dry side, but that the second was great. All 3 of my tacos were excellent. Oh, their guacamole is excellent, and their chips (free with order) were really crispy and delicious. Oh, I almost forgot they have a salsa bar, as well as regular bar counter where you can get a cold beer.

I would highly recommend Street Tacos. The food was excellent, all the staff were friendly, and the prices are reasonable as well. Good job Street Tacos -...
