“Taco Tuesday in Tucson” is a column where we explore the unique tacos stands throughout Tucson… on Tuesdays.
Over on Oracle Road, just before you reach the town limits of Oro Valley, rests the newly opened Tacos Del Rancho and they’re now serving up a collection of tacos on the menu — perfect for the indecisive eaters participating in Taco Tuesday.
When it comes to tacos, you’ve got your choice of Carne Asada, Chicken, Pastor, Tripa, Shrimp, Fish, and Bean on homemade soft corn or flour tortillas. Each of the tacos are ordered a la carte comin’ hot at $3.50 each. Additionally, they’ve got specialties like the Chicken Tinga and Rancho Seasoned Asada at $4 a taco.
If you’re craving more than just a few tacos during your visit, consider grabbing an order of the Chile en Rajas, which is roasted poblano chiles, cut into strips and cooked with corn, cream, and cheese.
Tacos Del Rancho is one of the newer family-owned and operated restaurants in Tucson, and quietly opened its doors in September 2021. Currently, the restaurant is open for dine-in daily from 7 a.m. – 10 p.m.
“With roots from the heart of Sonora comes the inspiration for our menu. We pride ourselves in providing fresh and authentic cuisine.”

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
