Taqueria el Pueblito — Restaurant in Tucson

This is my favorite taco shop in the world.

The prices are reasonable ($5.50 for a good-sized breakfast burrito, $8-9 for a combination plate).

The menu is reasonably-sized: about 5 options for breakfast burritos, 7-8 regular burritos, and about a dozen combination plates, plus a number of other things (tortas, enchiladas, etc.). There are also a few hidden gems, including my favorite burrito: rajas con crema (sliced poblanos with sour cream, butter, corn and onions). It's delicious!

The quality is perfect: rich flavor without being greasy.

They're incredibly fast! I often call ahead on my way to work in the morning, and they've always been ready in less than seven minutes!

The owners are really nice, too.

Heads-up: between the green and red salsa, neither is what I'd call "mild". I'd rate them somewhere between a medium and a hot, and I think the green is milder than the red. Both have excellent flavor.

Other info: They deliver via GrubHub. They have an indoor and an outdoor seating area. They typically have some artwork for sale. They have a rewards program (through Square?), in which if you use your credit card a few times, you earn rewards (e.g. $2.00 off next purchase, 15% off next purchase, etc.). I've done this several times, since I go there often. (They do not spam my...

For starters, you walk in and it smells like Fabuloso... some of you may not appreciate that... but I associated that with the restaurant being clean! Honestly, I did have a hard time completing my order some simple additions, and a couple questions about the menu that the guy taking my order had a tough time understanding what I wanted. However, it did get done. Pollo asada burrito, add potatoes, add cheese, add beans, add green chili. I was hoping the green chili was the green chili with the pork in it, not the salsa (which it was). My burrito was huge! Not to mention it was full of flavor and I couldn't even finish it. I had to save the other half for the next day. The tortilla was fresh, the ingredients were full of flavor, the only thing that kept it from being a five star burrito is the chili (salsa) versus the green chili. I would DEFINITELY order again. The chili cheese fries that I ordered, let's just chalk those up as being a mistake......... It was fries, cheese, and smothered in salsa... no bueno! Unfortunately I had to throw them out. I'll definitely be back to try some other things on the menu, the burrito was pretty good and had a nice authentic...

This has become my new favorite quick Mexican restaurant. They have wonderful breakfast burritos, which are meat of choice, eggs, cheese, and potatoes. I personally prefer the bacon one, while my boyfriend likes their sausage. All of their burritos are about the size of my forearm...I can usually get 2 meals out of one unless I'm especially ravenous.

For the remainder of the menu, I LOVE the Zacatecas burrito. It's carne asada, bacon, grilled onions, cheese and guac. It's fantastic, but every once in awhile can be salty depending on how much bacon they throw in. Their tamales are decent. For vegetarians out there, they make a wonderful roasted poblano and corn taco. Didn't think I'd like it, but it was good.

They do have a salsa bar that's a bit tiny, but their creamy avocado based salsa and green tomatillos salsa are both wonderful. Their pico de Gallo is fresh. I don't care for their roasted red salsa, but that's a personal preference.

All in all, ever since Viva Burrito closed their Speedway location, this has been my go-to for decent Mexican food. Be aware that they close earlier than most: 8:30 pm. Definitely missed...
