Diner notes
5 out of 5
Small gas station food establishment but it was DELICIOUS! My son always comes here because he lives in Tucson and we decided to grab a bite to eat while I was down there. I'd definitely go back! Todo estaba DELICIOSO!! Muchas gracias por su buen servicio y comida, se les agradece mucho!

If you're passing by, it's a great place to stop for a bite. It's inside the gas/convenience store so don't expect much fanciness. But the food is legit and a big menu with lots to choose from.

Do not let the gas station / liquor store facade fool you. This is the BEST hidden gem for Mexican food in the Tucson area hands down. Was in the area visiting family from Philadelphia. Not only did we eat there several times during our stay, but also planning to grab several Enchi Locos on our way to the airport before we head out of town. Do yourself a favor and be sure to visit Carla and the team if you’re in town. You’ll thank me later!

Tell us what you ordered and what it cost. Two or three sentences about one dish is more useful to the next person than a star rating.
