First day in Tucson, and we accidentally went into this parking lot. When we realized it was a food truck with tons of white tents with seating, we knew we had to stop and try some aa part of our first food in Tucson. No menu immediately visible, but decided to order the cabeza since it seemed to be their specialty based on their name. Waitress spoke limited English, so it was a bit tough for us since neither my sister nor I speak Spanish and were having difficulty asking about other meats.When our tacos came out, it was on a delicious corn tortilla with some of the best meat I have had in a taco. Super cheap too. I think my horchata, which was in a bottle, cost more and the two tacos I got lolll. Do note this is all outdoor seating since it's a food truck, so if it is hot (and when is it not hot in AZ?) you will definitely be sweating quickly, and the car extremely hot without a sun shade. I definitely need to go back, and even daydream about these tacos now when I get the munchies!

I went close to closing time around 130 so all they had left was cabeza tacos. That was fine by me. They were delicious. And my 6 and 8 year olds all scarfed them down as well. So hot and juicy and flavorful. I'll be back to try the other cuts of meat

Got cheek, head, roof for mouth and tongue tacos. Little disappointed that they ran out of eye, lip and brain. Taco was great, flavor on the mild side, good for early of the day bite. Price is good and cash only.

Found this place on Yelp when we were in the neighborhood and thought we would give it a shot. We were not disappointed, the food was wonderful!We ordered a slew of beef cheek tacos on the recommendation of the kind folks at the table next to us. Our waitress did not speak a word of English, and there was no printed menu, so it was a little tough to figure out.The tacos arrived quickly and were piping hot. The texture of the meat was wonderful. The guys thought the food was pretty extraordinary, but our spouses thought the flavors were a little strong. One of them complained that she could smell the meat on her fingers all afternoon. Me, I would consider that a bonus, but she was not quite so fond of the idea.Lunch for 4 people including a couple of Coca-colas was under $20. Quite a bargain.I would give this place 5 stars for the food, but it would be great if they made things a little easier for us gringos and had a menu card.

My girlfriend was really craving tacos de cabeza the past few days. So I finally found a place that serves good ones here in town. This is a basic, plastic tables with a tarp covering it food truck, but do not let that fool you! This place knows what they are going. You still get table service, and a waitress to take your order. They are super super fast, like no joke fast! If you are looking for authentic tacos, THIS IS YOUR PLACE!!!!

I can't say enough good things about Tacos de Cabeza. These guys have the best Cabeza I've ever eaten in Arizona or even in Mexico. They have very reasonable prices, a great and authentic selection of both Cabeza and other more typical Mexican food, and a great space to eat under the shade at their stand. The staff are very nice (even to me as a pasty white gringo who doesn't speak Spanish but loves amazing Mexican food) and always are accommodating when ordering. Any time you order the Cabeza to go, you'll get a large stack of good quality corn tortillas, some fairly spicy red and more citrusy green salsas and a big bag of limes to accentuate the flavor of the delicious meat. Both the broth and the cachete (cheek) tacos have my full and unconditional support. You cannot go wrong here, and if you've never tried cabeza for fear of a strange texture, you don't have anything to worry about here. Just do yourself a favor and give it a try.Two notes I'll make is as of this writing, they are not at the same location that Yelp has them at. They are now located at 12th street and Alaska on the northeast corner with a small sign visible from the road. Also, they used to take cards a few years ago, but have since stopped and are back to a cash only situation.

The best taco cabezas in Tucson! My son and I make it our mission to sample every beef and pork cabezas we discover in Tucson. The flavor of Taco Cabezas is nothing short of a miracle of flavor seved up on a tortilla. A depth of flavor and spices without the heavy grease sometimes associated with this particular epicurean delight. While you're there, try the broth, which I take home to have in the freezer for those midnight cravings. Be adventurous and try a mixed meat cabezas with a blend of headmeats. Prepared so expertly, you'll experience exquisite beef flavor, without bizarre textures usually associated with head meat.A true jewel of what Tucson cuisine has to offer like no other. Oh, for those less adventurous, they offer standard selections you'd expect to see at a mexican food tuck.

We got here and waited at least 15 min to sit a table,when we ordered we waited more than 30 min to receive our food.By the time we got our food everything was cold.There was a lot of flys around.As we were leaving we saw a worker on the phone while customers were waiting to be attended.In total we lasted 1 hour and 20 min to eat.
