Guide
Think Costa Rican roadside luncheonette but in Tucson. The Birria Tacos are so tasty that you’ll want to take an extra batch home with you. The bunuelos are unbeatable, too.
This place is all about the vibes and the tacos. They keep the menu streamlined and simple, though the flavors are anything but. As far as tacos go, they have them all, and that definitely includes birria. Don’t forget to sample the homemade salsas if you like your birria served with a kick.

“La Chingada is the best birria I have had. It’s insanely good.”
"If you're having trouble deciding whether to get the birria tacos or the birria ramen, don't stress! The birria ramen comes with a birria taco, too. Double whammy!"

The name Chipilon refers to the style of hot dog that the Maciel brothers popularized here in Tucson, but this taco stand is known for serving up birria that’s a true taste of tradition. If you’re looking for something to warm your belly, order the Plato de Birria.
