NOW OPEN: Toro Loco Tacos Y Burros relocates & opens up on Speedway

Mar 18, 20221 min read

A spot that previously housed Boulevard BBQ & Fixins has been vacant for a few months but is now filled with the aroma of salsa, carne asada, and tortillas.

Toro Loco Tacos y Burros, which was originally located at 7940 E. Broadway Blvd., recently opened its doors at 5737 E. Speedway Blvd.

For those not familiar with the taco and burrito shop, it’s a concept from the minds of Travis and William Miller, who own Serial Grillers, Craft A Modern Drinkery, and Transplant Pizza.

Boulevard BBQ & Fixins was another one of the brothers’ ventures but its doors were permanently closed in September 2021.

In 2019, Toro Loco Tacos Y Burros got its start and greeted hungry Tucsonans with its craft tacos, french fry-stuffed burritos, Street Corn, and now even with some specialty items such as the Barbacoa Ramen. 

The ramen comes with a housemade broth, egg noodles, barbacoa, green cabbage, cilantro, onion, and a lime wedge posing as the cherry on top.

The new location is open daily from 11 a.m. – 8 p.m.

Toro Loco is located at 7940 E. Broadway Blvd. For more information, call (520) 849-8160 or visit torolocotacos.com.

More about Matt

At 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.
