Humo Cocina Mexicana

The food was fantastic! Authentic tacos bursting with flavor, and the cocktails were top-notch. The service was exceptional, and the ambiance made for a perfect dining experience. Highly recommend!

Great experience at Humo. This is a small cozy restaurant with a great vibe and excellent attention to detail. We stopped for a quick bite before a concert and really enjoyed it. I'm a chips and salsa snob and they were really good here. The house made salsa is fresh and a bit spicy which I love. I had a barria chimichanga for dinner. It was very good even though I didn't really get barria flavor out of it (next time I would try the barria tacos). I ate it with the green sauce, which I ordered on the side, but soon switched it to eating it with their salsa. My only suggestion is that the cheese on top wasn't really melted properly so maybe either forgo or usually a more meltable cheese. My husband chose some steak tacos off the a la carte menu and really enjoyed them. I personally loved the elevated food presentation (how do they serve everything on personalized cutting boards?). Makes dining so much better. The staff including our server (Rolando?) was also friendly and so helpful. Definitely worth trying. They really try hard to make it a good experience and are doing everything right.

I recently had the pleasure of checking out Humo, a new Mexican restaurant in northwest Tucson, and I was impressed! It's a cozy spot with a cute bar, a vibrant mural, and a spacious patio that would be perfect for a nice evening out. They had only been open for about a week when we visited, but the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive.The menu is still evolving, with plans to expand to include more options and breakfast dishes. I tried the quesabirria tacos, and they were delicious. The handmade horchata was the perfect complement, refreshing and sweet. The refried beans had a unique smoky flavor, which ties perfectly into the name of the restaurant, Humo (which means "smoke" in Spanish).They also have some great specials! Taco Tuesdays are a must-try with $1.99 tacos, and happy hour runs Monday to Friday from 2-5 p.m., offering half-off their classic margaritas. Plus, they have a full bar, so there's plenty to choose from if you're in the mood for something else.The prices were reasonable, and they even have a drive-thru for those on the go. Bonus points for the fact that the chef is the same talented mind behind Amelia's Kitchen, and he's a 2025 James Beard semifinalist - a true testament to the quality you can expect here.I'm really excited to have a new Mexican food spot in Northwest Tucson. If you're in the area, definitely give Humo a try - it's a great addition to the local food scene!

We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon around 3:30 pm for a late lunch/early dinner. When you first walk in, it's not totally clear if you seat yourself or wait for staff to seat you. We kind of awkwardly stood there until someone did acknowledge us but we did get seated right away. Inside, there's only about 6 or 7 tables and they are fairly close to each other. Our server was really nice and attentive. We decided to order the Al Pastor Chimichanga (Christmas), street tacos (birria, Al pastor and beer battered fish). We also ordered a side of the shrimp toritos. The chimi was so good!! One of the best I've had. My husband ordered the cucumber Collin's (super refreshing!) and I ordered the Humo Margarita. It was just okay.. however, I will say that I cannot wait to go back and try their chilequiles.

Another win for Mexican food up north! Arturo thank you for your conversation, excellent service, and fabulous cocktails. First time ordering Shrimp Culichi. It was absolutely amazing. It has a lil kick to it but so very tasty. Oh my word the Taco Dorados..shredded chicken with the consomme are to die for. They have a parrillada on the menu and a tomahawk coming soon. Its such a cute little spot with amazing food. Prices are right for the food you get. So glad to have this option right down the street!

Excellent food, patio is dog friendly and great service! Tasty margaritas. Stopped in from out of town and would definitely return.

Was really hungry and wanted to try someplace new. Found this place that just barely opened. I was a little off put since it mentioned reservations on the yelp app. I see why, there was 4 chairs at the bar and 6 or 7 tables. The place is petite, but that's not a bad thing. I ordered shrimp ceviche, I was really impressed with how much there was. I wanted to ask for a lime to spray more on it, but it was fantastic nonetheless! I got the 2 chicken enchiladas with double rice in the green sauce. They weren't bad, a little bland on the flavor. The chicken reminded me of canned tuna, not the taste but the texture of it. Like it was triple shredded, if that makes sense. The Horchata was homemade so that was an interesting try. I'd try this place again. It was nice and peaceful around 5pm, it started to fill up around 5:45pm, the young woman taking my order was very polite and attentive. The food came out rather quickly as well

This food was just the best. I was so happy with the tacos, prices, drinks (Cadillac margarita and mimosa). The service was excellent! I loved sitting outside in the sun and shade.

Service was amazing. The atmosphere was hopping. Everybody was happy. The food was flowing and the food was so good. The chips were hot and salty. Everybody had smiles on their faces. Thank you for the wonderful experience for me and my family

Stopped here because we were starving and thirsty after a hot and dusty hike, and we were not disappointed! Lovely outdoor seating, great service, great food! Things we loved: prickly pear margarita with a tajin rim (!), the grilled fish taco and the birria taco. Guac was great and a generous portion. We were visiting from the East Coast, and this was the meal I'd been dreaming about when planning our trip to Tucson.
