Cool taco/hot dog spot, but my favorite was the carne asada tacos. Their carne asada tasted so smokey and flavorful that we went and ordered another one after we finished our meal. Food comes out fast and I like their salsa bar.

TAQUERIA AQUI CON EL NENE is hands down my favorite place to eat 😋 I highly recommend the Carne Asada tacos, which are very smoky tasting and flavorful grilled steak on flour tortillas dressed with cabbage and hot sauce. (A helpful hint...Lime makes them...Read More

To preface, I'm on this side quest to find the best bean burrito in Tucson. Say what you will about Aqui con el Nene, but whatever you list on your menu should be delicous regardless if it's their specialty or not. I already hate this...Read More

The place was absolutely delicious, only a couple things I had issues with. The nachos, they were just chips and the cheese sauce, no toppings, no beans, no carne, nothing, and for the price, over $20, that was a huge disappointment. Redemption was had however,...Read More

Great spot that I'm glad to have found on my travels. The food is fresh as can be, and tastes really good. There's a small salad bar, and hot sauces. The eating area is nice and shaded that seems to be periodically misted when it's hot...Read More

Oh my God the food is so good here. I've seen some reviews that complain about the expense? Have they eaten other places? I didn't think the food here was very expensive at all. They certainly give you sufficient quantities of it with each order....Read More

Delicious food. Good portions. Fair prices. Warm service. Visited two days in a row. The burrito was loaded with succulent flavorful asada. The Taco Yaqui is definitely worth trying, but a little steep at $9. The regular tacos are tasty with fresh pressed tortillas. The...Read More

Fantastic. Fast, delicious, great variety of menu items. Serves breakfast as well. Clean and well maintained self service salsa and condiment bar. It was so good, came here twice during a short trip to Tucson. Would definitely recommend and return to eat here again.

Nice place. Food was OK, probably won’t go back since it’s an hour drive. Jamaica and horchata were OK, a little pricey. Spent 65 bucks and was full, meat was dry by sauce/lime bar is a nice touch. Wasn’t blown away by the food but...Read More

The BEST tacos. Period. The tortillas are amazing. The meats are seasoned well. The salsa / pickled vegetable bar takes it all to the next level. Pescado is the highlight for me — cooked just right, not heavily breaded like most places do it. The...Read More
