Tacos are very cheesy and full of proteins, tried the mahi mahi and their signature Quesebirria. A first of the latter, like pot roast in a taco with a very rich & flavorful consomme that hints cinnamon, Oregano, and big beef, & after you dip, be sure to drink like a hearty broth, it's super! Great smokiness to the rib plate with beans and rice, satisfying but definitely not light fare, with 5 small corn tortillas and a salsa bar with mild and spicy citrus reds, mild green, pico and cabbage to round your tacos out. Sat outside on a cool Oct evening as the inside has a clean floral scent that overpowers even the smoky BBQ permeating the premises and it was as chilly inside on metal chairs. Didn't want that scent descending on my taco plate haha.My body begging for the gym now, El R2 you are a guilty pleasure, but TY!

I stopped in on a Saturday, an hour before closing. I was the only customer and the restaurant was quiet. I sat close to the wall by the menu to plug in my phoneThe interior is spacious and colorful.Service was fast and friendly. I didn't feel rushed to order and leave.I ordered something outside of my usual chicken burrito. Tonight I had a plate of vegetarian calabacitas and it was delicious! The zucchini and Chiles were topped in gooey, thick cheese. Rice and beans and a wrapped flour tortilla were on the side. It wasn't a spicy dish and that is how I like my cheese and veggies. I couldn't eat it all and took the leftovers home for breakfast.

My buddy hired El Rustico's roadshow team to cater his SB party for around 50 people. They were professional and delightful. The birria and carnitas meats were simmered to perfection and custom prepared for each person - flour/corn; cheese or no; caramelo or street style - with 5 different fresh salsas, and of course shredded cabbage and guacamole. All in all they probably churned out over 250 5inch tacos and they did that in well under two hours... meaning food was prepped fast enough that most folks easily got seconds. They bring everything and pack up everything. Definitely worth keeping this resource in mind for your special occasion.

Good food and good service!I've been to their main location and excited this one is closer to my house. Food is great, especially their birria and Al pastor. They have great homemade horchata and agua frescas, as well as bottled sodas.There is a toppings bar for your tacos, soup, etc. although I haven't tried it, they have bbq for sale. Bathrooms are very small, likely with the old building's design and otherwise large, open space in the dining room. Great place to sit down for some tacos with family and friends!

A well kept Tucson secret. Anyone who has suffered the crowds and commotion at the original location would be shocked how quiet this one is. Same great menu, plus on-site meat smokers that someday will offer smoked oxtail and tri-tip. Much nicer decor than the original location and the staff is really friendly. The variety is incredible - not a chain run by poseurs. Plus things that aren't so common for those not either "into" or "of" the culture, like nopales, tripa, Melinches and other items. Two things El Rustico is reknown for is the Birria (a classic stewed pot roast), slow cooked forever in the middle of the night, and Costilla (BBQ beef ribs). Very reasonable pricing. I've now been to this location 3 times and will keep going!

First timers. It was very small but nice. Cashier was helpful and polite. The food was fresh, hot and delicious. The carne asada quesadilla is big, just a warning. It's delicious. The drink selection is not a big selection.. The fresh juice was very refreshing. Overall it was good. I recommend it and I go back.
