50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Tucson

“We've ordered food there several times in the last few months and it's always good. It is mexican fast food, they don't claim to be a fine dining establishment.“

“Perfect spot for Sunday lunch with a good friend. We highly recommend the refreshing watermelon 🍉 margaritas and mango ceviche, followed by the chicken tinga bowl and dulce de leche chocolate cake. Great ambiance and amazing service. We will definitely be back again soon!“

“This place has authentic Sonoran style hot dogs. I visit Hermosillo frequently and love the “dogos” so I know what I’m talking about! The hot dogs here are more like Hermosillo hot dogs than any other place I have tried in Tucson! The only criticism I can offer is they need to try and find the Hermosillo style buns with the deep pockets that can hold more toppings.“

“The tacos are delicious. And the waiter and the waitress are very nice. And the waiters name is ceasar. and the waitress name is Layda.“

“First saw Tumerico on Triple D. Visiting Tucson in March…family tried it out…we beeping loved it. I am almost exclusively a carnivore, but I’d eat at Tumerico’s twice a week if I lived here. Absolutely delicious!“

“Zulay was our waitress, and a wonderful advocate for the restaurant. It's a small venue, and worth every bit of the wait. We watched as tables were bussed and floors swept, then tables set with exacting placement of the table service. The pace was relaxed, we never felt rushed. Permission to remove plates from the table was asked every time to confirm that the patron was through with it. I had the Kalo enchiladas, one of the best presentations and very tasty. One of the best dining experiences in my life. Thank you

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp to the entry door.“

“Delicious food, cozy atmosphere friendly staff! Highly recommend!!“

“I had an amazing experience at Guadalajara’s Grill thanks to our incredible waiter, Alex. He was attentive, caring, and made sure every detail of our meal was perfect. The food came out promptly, and everything was delicious, but it was his excellent service that truly stood out. He anticipated our needs without being intrusive and made us feel genuinely welcomed. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated to creating a wonderful dining experience. I’ll definitely be returning and hope to have him as our waiter again!“

“While I only lived in Tucson for 6 months, I heard of so many great places. This place, was one of the best. 2nd to El Guerro Canello.. It's great for Tucson, I'll definitely be back there when I'm in Tucson. If you're in Phoenix, look up Comedor Guadalajara, no affiliation to Guadalajara Original Grill. .“

“We went for a family lunch after a funeral. There were over 30 of us. The staff did a great job taking care of us. Food was delish, drinks were refilled,and food came out hot and fairly fast taking into account the number of people we had. The apple pie moonshine margaritas hit the spot. Will definitely be back! Thank you for taking care of out family. ❤️“

“If you’re craving an authentic Sonoran hot dog in Tucson, Dany Hot Dogs is the spot! 🌭 We tried both the classic Sonoran and the Chipilón hot dog—and they were absolutely delicious. The fresh bun, perfectly grilled hot dog, creamy beans, and toppings like pico, jalapeños, and that drizzle of mayo and mustard came together perfectly.

The Chipilón had an extra kick of flavor and quickly became one of our favorites. Friendly service, great portions, and true Tucson flavor make this place a must-visit.

If you’re searching for the best hot dogs in Tucson or want to taste a real Sonoran street food classic, Dany Hot Dogs is worth the stop!“

“Our family has been coming here for 28 years. It is one of the best Mexican drive through or eat in resturants in central Tucson. It is a humble little abode that we have enjoyed eating in with friends and family or if we are craving something tasty in the evening. If you want flour or corn tortillas you can order them in advance. The prices are affordable and great portions.“

“The food was delicious and our server Raymond was great!“

“Excellent service Jorge always very friendly to care of me“

“tacos, tortas, menudo, caldo de Pollo......todo riquisimo!!!“

“Del Cielo is hands down our favorite spot for breakfast. As vegans, we especially love their incredible vegan breakfast buffet offered on Thursdays and Saturdays. The variety is outstanding, featuring delicious options like tamales, homemade tortillas, pancakes, calabacitas, vegan scrambled eggs, beans, and chimis. The best part? Drinks are included, and it’s all-you-can-eat and drink. Our Thursdays wouldn’t be complete without a round of pickleball followed by a well-deserved feast at Del Cielo. Everything they serve is homemade, with freshly squeezed juices that are simply delightful. The staff is warm, friendly, and always accommodating, creating an inviting atmosphere that makes every visit a joy. Whether you’re vegan or not, this buffet is sure to impress. Do yourself a favor and give it a try—you won’t regret it!“

“It’s delicious 😋! The meat it’s flavored right and made with love.“

“Delicias has turned out to be our favorite place to go to eat since moving to the area. There are lunch and dinner specials which are great. They serve large portions and the food is tasty. The bean dip served when you sit at the table is excellent. Delicias has the best margaritas we have ever tasted, including in Mexico. The staff is warm and friendly.“

“Great food but very poor on answering when calling for a phone order.“

“Fabulous Sonoran Restaurant week meal. Many choices and starts with fresh made chips and salsa. The Cesar salad was so fresh and was accompanied by unique bite sized cheese balls. The shrimp tacos were full of shrimp and delicious! The chocolate tres Leche cake was outstanding!! Service was efficient and exceptionally friendly.“

“A CHINGONERIA OF FOOD!!!! I remember when my dad took us to Tijuana for food! The coolest thing is that they are pure women! The net ?!! They had a line and that's how I knew it was going to be delicious! Very friendly! They apologized for the wait but for those tacos I waited hours!!!!“

“Authentic Mexican Cuisine! We’ve been going for over a year now and it has never failed ❤️‍🔥“

“Very nice servers. The food was delicious. I came here around the end of June 2025 for a family get together celebrating my mom's birthday. There were around 13 people in my party including 2 kids and my 5 month old baby and the servers handled everything well. They were very kind and kept checking in with us to make sure we had drinks and made sure everything tasted good. The food was hot and very good and came in a timely manner. We all had a great time. We also brought a couple cakes and they brought a table for us to put them on and gave us plates to serve the cake to everyone. They gave us boxes to take home the left over food and cake. It was all around a great experience. It was my first time at this restaurant and I enjoyed it very much. Definitely recommend eating here.“

“Really like the new renovations! However was disappointed in the service. Usually El Sur has quick responsive service but this time not so. Ordered side of sour cream which was never received. Had to ask for more chips and salsa. Never even offered the peppers/onions like they used to. Felt like food has changed and lost some of its authentic flavors. Rice was more bland and Whole beans usually good but this time very bland and not cooked as much. We don’t eat lard or pork so whole beans are only option so it was disappointing that they weren’t as good as they used to be.“

“Wonderful experience, from the food to the service, especially the service. It's not often you go into a fast food place or any restaurant and are greeted by a smiling face very upbeat personality. Thank you Angie for the exceptional service.“

“The food, the service, and the experience of our order was incredible. Thank you later for making us feel welcome.“

“they are authentic. They are also kind people and not MAGA“

“We found this palace by accident and are so glad we did. The food was amazing and the staff was awesome. I will recommend it from the mountain tops. We will be back!“

“Taco Stop is hands down the best taco truck in town! You can order easily on DoorDash or just drive up, and either way the service is fantastic. Their customer appreciation is outstanding—they truly care about their customers. Even if they run out of something, they always make sure you won’t be disappointed. The food is consistently delicious and fresh. My personal favorites are the chicken and carne tacos—absolutely unbeatable. Prices are unbeatable too. A must-eat spot! 🌮🔥“
