Taqueria El Pueblito

Wanted a breakfast burrito around noon. They serve breakfast all day. I decided to try it. I have never been here before so I blindly trusted Unilocal.
I got a Zacatecas burrito with egg. It was gigantic. It was the only thing I needed to eat all day. It was affordable and it was delicious!
The restaurant was clean, moderately busy, and the staff were very polite.
I will absolutely eat here again! Next time I will try the chilaquiles.

Pound for pound champion of T town. Clean. Cheap n good.

Bomb breakfast burrito. I made my own I got the Zacateca and added eggs. Ate half and will demolish the other half at the airport! This spot is legit, the spicy hot sauce is hot just how I like it. None of that watery bland b/​s!

Great food, our first time here Staff is very nice and always checking up to see if everything is ok. Will be coming back.

It’s good to hear of a new Restaurant (new to me at least) with really good outstanding food and solid customer service. This unassuming Taqueria packs a punch with Flavor and a wide variety of dishes served fast but without the fast food lack of quality. The breakfast burritos are huge and much to my surprise… never greasy! A big plus when you want to start your day off with a bang! without leaving you sluggish.
The Shredded beef Tacos are not small! Go big or go home with these bad boys! The crunch is perfect, and once again… not greasy!
The Barbacoa Burritos… will leave you speechless its a bit of heaven with every bite. the meat is tender and never salty a must try when u pay these good folks a visit.
I highly recommend giving this Tucson original a try!

Ate the Zacatecas burrito, it was so good! Great flavor, a lot of carne asada with bacon, grilled onions, and guacamole. I put sauce on it and it was delicious. It is very filling.

Tried today after reading reviews–
The Zacatecas burro is tasty and huge — two meals for me. Also tried a rejas con crema soft taco — really, wonderful.
Can absolutely recommend !!

Good flavor, good value and wonderful service! Thanks to Unilocal we stopped here and certainly glad we did!

WOW! Such a great place! The food was amazing and really affordable.
I got the Pollo asado breakfast burrito and my wife got the Ramas con crema burrito with the Cheese enchilada and green sauce. Without having to add any extra flavor, all of it was very delicious.
This place is in the same location that La Salsa Fresh Mexican Grill used to be, right next to the, now closed, Falafel King and, still open, Baggins right on Campbell and Ft. Lowell.
The interior is a little small but there is plenty of outdoor seating.
Other Unilocalers have said that some of t he food was bland and plain but that cannot be said about the Rajas con crema, whether it was a taco or burrito.
If you are looking for a great mexican food joint, this is the place to go to.

A great change of pace from Sonoran faire, this Jalisco style restaurant was excellent!
Came here with some Unilocal friends to check it out and it was really tasty and super food. Everyone raved about the generous portion size and raved about how good everything was. We had quite the variety. I had a Rajas con crema taco and the cheese enchilada and green chili pork burrito plate. Other items ordered were the Zacateca burrito, the chili relleno burrito, the breakfast burrito, the rajas con crema burrito, other tacos and quesadillas. The very happy consumer of the rajas con crema burrito declared that it is his new favorite burrito and the best burrito in Tucson.
The refried beans were tasty, the rice good, and everything was just very nice. Enjoyed it very much and had a great time eating on the patio with friends and enjoying the beautiful Arizona evening.
You order at the counter and they bring you your food. The service was very friendly.
The restaurant is very clean and new in appearance.
Their salsa bar as others have noted is very limited. I got some pico, salsa, and limes, but I didn’t use any of it as none of my food needed any doctoring at all. I didn’t want to ruin the flavors at all.
I highly recommend that you give this place a try.

The best breakfast burrito in town IMHO. I haven’t had a chance to try many of their other items on their menu because i can’t get enough of their breakfast burritos. If you haven’t had a chance, swing by to see what the rave is about. For about $ 5, you can get a nice sized burrito.

For starters, I heard about Taqueria El Pueblito on Unilocal for having some of the best Mexican food in Tucson… thought I would give it a shot!
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 taste to it.

This is the best taqueria in Tucson hands down!
Get the red chile salsa. Hot and declicious

Super authentic, very delicious, and very fast service. The interior is really nice and the food is amazing. I had the Zacatecas wet, And the Barboca tacos. They were very delicious I would totally get it again. The burrito had carne asada, bacon, guac, cheese, and more. Recommend giving it a try.

Of all the taco places in Tucson, I stepped into this one.
An earnest dive with friendly service. Based on my observations, the owners/​staff knew many of the customers. Repeat business, clearly a good sign.
I ordered 4 different tacos, some crispy corn and others soft flour. With a soft drink, it came to about $ 13 and change.
The tacos were competent, but nothing memorable. With the really stiff competition going on around town, these just fall into the middle of the pack for me.

Today was my 10^th or so time eating here and it’s always the BEST Jalisco style mexican food I’ve ever had. Their food has always been consistent in flavor, amount, quality, and presentation.
We’ve tried many different offerings (I had their beans as a side today… perfect!) and I always seem to get their Pork Al Pastor taco. I’ve tried recreating the flavor at my home, and while mine may be good, the way this place makes theirs is so much better! Flavorful, moist, slightly sweet, and slightly spicy… I want to go back and get another one!
I’d never use a word like, «…mediocre.» to describe this stout example of good Sonoran mexican chow. I would, however, use such adjectives as, «authentic», «satisfying», «homemade», «incredible», and «outstanding»!
We’ll be bringing our friends here soon to experience what we’ve been raving for months about!

I just ate here for the first time. I am new to Tucson and I was hoping that judging by these Unilocal reviews I would stumble across an authentic Mexican restaurant. If this is the best that Tucson has to offer than I am disappointed. The food here is mediocre, nothing special. Certainly not worth the high Unilocal rating. There’s gotta be somewhere in Tucson that has fresh, high quality Mexican food. This place is not it.

The food is great but when I got home, my order was wrong. communication problems ??? The taste of the food made up the difference !!! I will go back and the next time Look at the order to make sure that is what I ordered.

What mediocrity. I walked in this afternoon expecting to be blown away. I ordered everything that people suggested here from their chorizo breakfast burrito to 4 tacos: carne asada, el pastor, rajas con crema, and Barbacoa.
I took just three bites of the breakfast burrito before stopping because it was so boring.
I finished the tacos and tried them with the various salsas to see if I was the one messing things up or doing something wrong.
No, this place is just mediocre. Last night I ate at Aqui Con El Nene which is a truck in a lot with simple plastic chairs and it blew me away. This place is making me have regrets on the calories I just ingested. It was not worth it.
The highlight was the rajas con crema which was good but nowhere near as good as anything I had earlier on this trip at El Nene or Calle Tepa. These guys are gaming the Unilocal system that is the only way they have 4.5 stars. I am very disappointed and regret my decision to come here based on a few highlighted reviews and overall high stars. Take a look for yourself most of these reviewers have no Unilocal friends. Argh.
Go somewhere else. I’m about to ask for a refund on this breakfast burrito.

This is now my second visit here and what brought me back where the Barbacoa tacos! They where fantastic! This time I tried it in a burrito and well now I found my burrito! It is huge and stuffed with meat! The tortillas they use are clearly either homemade or sourced from a great local tortilla maker! If you’re in the area skip on nicos, viva and betos

I have only tried one item here. 3 rolled tacos w cheese. W tax just under $ 4.00. Always crisp, hot and fresh tasting, loaded w fresh crispy cold shredded lettuce, Mexican white cheese (no greasy oily cheddar) and crema. Salsa bar always fresh and full of pico de gallo, radishes, sliced carrots, hot blended guacamole and a green and red salsa. It’s on my work route so I like to stop for a am break. Always clean and couple friendly employees. Steady take out business was observed. Lots of other dishes including Menudo on weekends.

I love the spice baby. Muy bueno!
I’ll drive here from now on for a breakfast burrito. No where have i found a breakfast burro so good they are deelish…
Barbacoa burro… mmmmmmmmmmmm, that’s what I had tonight. Saturday I had my first breakfast burrito and it was really deelish. .
Thanks so much for making good food in Tucson El Pueblito!

Some great quality mexican food! Nice and spicy! Limited salsa bar, but salsa isnt even needed the food is so good. I had combination plate 13. One enchilada and one burrito. Green enchilada with chicken and carne asada burrito. On top of that a side of beans and rice. Very satisfying meal.

Best Mexican Food in town. Affordable too. Their carna asada is good quality meat. I like to get the tacos and different kinds. It’s cheap so why not. I get the asada, al pastor, and fish. Great stuff. Salsa bar is good. They got carots. Refil as much as you want including Horchata.

Carne asada is top notch and I got the El Pueblito burrito last time with no pico de gallo and guacamole on the side and it was perfect. the green chili pork burrito is excellent as well

This is just for the breakfast burrito that everyone raves about. I am sorry I bought into the hype. I’m sure the other Mexican dishes are fantastic. The woman at the counter was very nice and the salsas are very good.
Potatoes in a burrito should be browned, have some crunch and should not be the primary ingredient. These bland and flavorless potatoes made up the bulk of the burrito. Cut the potato amount by 70%, brown and season them and it should improve greatly. I prefer my breakfast burrito to be eggy, not starchy.

Taqueria El Pueblito is currently my favorite place for breakfast burritos and tacos. It’s a quick-​service order-​at-​the-​counter no-​frills type place. Their breakfast burrito has been reviewed to death — you really just have to try it. It is the cheapest life-​changing experience you will ever have.
Their tacos are also really extraordinary. My favorites so far are the green chile pork (tender pork slow-​cooked in this green chile sauce with just the right kick), rajas con crema (roasted poblano peppers tossed with cream, onions and corn) and their barbacoa. I’ve tried several of their other meats and they are all among the best I’ve had in Tucson. I couldn’t quite handle the spice level of the rajas con crema so I asked for a side of sour cream and they gave it to me free of charge. The tacos are ~$ 2 – 3 depending on the kind. I tried the barbacoa in a dorados which is basically a deep-​fried corn tortilla. It’s ends up being somewhere between a soft and hard-​shell taco and is a bit oily for my taste.
We typically come around weekend lunch-​time — there has always been a healthy crowd but we’ve never had to wait more than 15 minutes between walking into the restaurant to sitting down and eating. The restaurant itself is always clean although we typically sit outside on the patio tables.
One note: their salsa bar isn’t as extensive as other places (1 green mild, 1 red HOT, and 1 guacamole HOT) but you don’t really need salsa because their meats have all the flavor in the world.
Places like Taqueria El Pueblito make me absolutely love living in Tucson. I really can’t wait to try the rest of their menu!

We stopped here since we were in a bit of a hurry and needed to eat something quick. We weren’t expecting much (something similar to a Fili/​Julio/​Roli/​bertos) but it was much better.
Pros:
1. Food is good. I had the chorizo burrito and it was good. My wife had the green chicken enchiladas and those were REALLY good. And hot. Most places are not legitimate hot.
2. The service was great. The lady that greeted us was very nice and everyone else was as well.
Cons:
1. Horchata is made from the mix stuff. Still good, but artificial.
For the price this was a great place for a quick meal.

It was a decent Mexican food meal by Tucson standards therefore I rated 2. We had dinner there tonight simply because of the high Unilocal rating — in my opinion it was way overrated.
Now if I ate at this place outside of AZ, then I’d certainly rate higher. The completion and comparisons are greater here.
Best of luck!

We ate here one time due to a long wait at another restaurant near by. Boy were we happy we did!
Starting with the service. We entered the building as one of the few patrons and approached the counter. As first time diners, it be be s little much deciding what to order. Never fear, the smiling staff was more than happy to offer samples of each of their meats to educate new guests. This helped us decide what to order and since we already knew that the filling would be delicious, it took the mystery out of the experience.
When our food came, we dove right in and everything was delicious.
I had an el pastor taco and it was near perfect. Nice and tangy with a little sweetness and a hint of heat. My gal chose a different meat and was very please as well. They had a nice salsa bar and everything offered was fresh and tasty.
The place was nice and clean too. The dining area looked brand spanking new and it was decorated beautifully. Not too old fashioned or authentic or anything like that, it looked like someone who knew what they were doing created a space to crank out great food. And that’s what it was!
Puebloto is a little hard to spot but worth a try! If I lived closer to it I’d be there weekly. I wish the best for this restaurant and will certainly be back soon!

I LOVE when I read Unilocal reviews and they’re right on the money!
My husband and I were trying to decide on where to eat in the Campbell/​Ft. Lowell area when I stumbled upon Taqueria El Peublito here on Unilocal.So we decided to give it a try.
Just as noted in other reviews, it’s in a strip mall… nestled betwenn Baggin’a Sandwiches and Falafel King. Their little restaurant is very clean, tidy and welcoming. The menu board is large and easy to navigate.
My hubby ordered the El Pastor Burrito for $ 5.89, and I got myself a hard shell (dorados) Barbacoa Taco and a soft Carnitas Taco, $ 2.79 each. We told the very friendly lady, who took our order, that we decided on their restaurant based on all of the amazing Unilocal reviews. She was very sweet, thanked us, and told us that we ordered some of their best items.
My guy RAVED about his El Pastor Burrito! He said it’s really difficult to get the sweetness right, without being too sweet. And there were even a few chunks of pineapple mixed in with the pork that was cooked to perfection.
My Barbacoa Taco was simply the best I’ve had anywhere… and I’ve lived in Arizona since 1972 so that’s saying something! It was tender, seasoned just right, had a little kick and was a wonderful, greasy little bomb! Hey! Sometimes grease is good! Same goes for my Carnitas Taco… tender pork, not a lick of gristle or chewy fat, and juicy!
So now let’s talk about the salsa bar. The red and green sauces were perfect compliments to our meal. And might I also add, these are NOT the typical ‘fill in the blank’ ‘Bertos red or green sauces. These actually had a flavor! And they were thicker than water… you know… like a taco sauce! And they each packed quite a punch! Not overly hot, but just perfect!
They also had those marinated red onions and carrots that we love so much! If you like Pico de Gallo and guacamole sauce… yup…that was on the salsa bar as well.
We’ll be back, Taqueria El Pueblito… and soon!

Outstanding. This is what you foodies are looking for here close to the border.
This is stick-​to-​your-​ribs excellence, not grease bombs.
Had one each of Barbacoa, al pastor, and carne asada tacos. Outstanding and multidimensional, all of them.
Great prices, unpretentious interior.
Just about perfect.

So I must have not ordered the right thing but I’m a little surprised by all these 4 star reviews, especially for a Mexican food place in Tucson! We ordered some chicken burritos. The chicken had a nice flavor but it only comes with shredded lettuce. That’s it. Honestly if they just added some rice or beans or some other veggie it would probably help. I also got a side of chips and salsa which weren’t bad. Chips were pretty good but salsa was watery. They also had a small «salsa bar» that had green, red and «guacamole» which was really just green cream. Staff was very friendly and like always, I’ll give it another go. Maybe try these breakfast burritos everybody is talking about.

It’s Saturday Morning, and I was craving Huevos Rancheros. I pulled up the trusty Unilocal app, and it didn’t disappoint… highly rated and reviewed El Pueblito Taqueria is 5 star. I walked in and found a distinguished gentleman sitting at a table just to the left of the register at the entrance. I was looking at the Menu and didn’t see what I was craving… I asked the waitress if they served Huevos Rancheros, she said «if the boss sais yes, we will make it for you» (it wasn’t on the menu). The distinguished gentleman stood up and smiled… said yes, and walked to the grill. 10 minutes later, he walked out from the kitchen, apron on, and with a breakfast plate that not only looked incredible, but tasted absolutely delicious. Muchas Gracias Señor Rodolfo «El Jefe»… Era un placer! I will remember your restaurant forever.

Oh my goodness this place was the bomb. We ordered a bacon bfast burrito, bowl of menudo, and a tamale for $ 12… The burrito was easily two burritos in one, the bacon inside wasn’t strips, but delicious thick, crunchy and just the right amount of chew bacon pieces and not greasy! I ate it with some great Green salsa from their salsa bar. My fiancée and I easily could’ve shared the burrito and been happy and stuffed. The interior was very clean also.
They were also so extremely friendly!!! We will be back!

There is something about the restaurants that occupy the shopping center on the southwest corner of Campbell and Ft. Lowell. Normally, a Taqueria wouldn’t fit in any kind of shopping center. These places typically fare better as food courts or in their own building. Somehow, Taqueria El Pueblito has managed to fit itself into this center. That is good thing for you and me.
It is very clean and neat inside. They use ipads as a cash register which is really cool. The salsa bar not only has a sneeze guard, but has covers so that it remains fresh and germs are not spread. I enjoy any place that you can watch your food being made. It took a little long to get the food, but they make their food from scratch.
The beans were tasty, the tacos were juicy, and the salsas were unique. Their guacamole salsa had an interesting heat to it. At first you don’t feel the heat, but after thirty seconds, it kicks into full gear! Even though I never experienced such a delay with salsa, it was too good and had to keep having it. I wish they had the cucumbers like most other Taqueria’s, but that’s not a make-​or-​break.
I hope this location works out for the people of this restaurant. Overall, this place is worth more visits!
