Taco Giro has opened a new location at 8320 N. Thornydale Rd. #110, which is right next to Dominick’s Real Italian, The Blacktop Grill, and Barnfire Mesquite Grill. The official grand opening is Friday, February 16 and the restaurant’s regular hours of operation are 7 a.m. – 10 p.m. daily.
The locally-owned chain has five other restaurants across Tucson, Sierra Vista, and Casa Grande bringing Sonoran and Tampiqueño cuisine to the table. They pride themselves on their impressive seafood selection that includes ceviche, pulpo (octopus), and the Torre El Giro — a tower of shrimp, octopus, scallops, cucumber, tomato, and more.
From 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. on Monday – Friday, the restaurant serves lunch specials, too. Each meal is $10.99 and includes the likes of a two-enchilada plate, chile relleno, a shrimp cocktail, and a carne asada torta. Dinner specials are running rampant on the menu as well at just $13.99 each.
Plus, Taco Giro serves Mexican- and American-style breakfasts, including Medio Jamon (traditional ham and eggs breakfast), nearly 10 omelets, rib eye steak, and Pancakes Con Tocino (three pancakes, two eggs, and your choice of bacon or sausage links).
For those in the mood for some boozy indulgence, savor their renowned michelada or explore a variety of cocktails and beers.
If you’re seeking attention from other folks dining in, or if you’re just super thirsty and hungry at the same time, order the Fiesta De Cervezas — party beers. This monumental item comes with six beers, a platter of mixed seafood, and chips.
The other Tucson Taco Giro locations are at 620 N. Grande Ave., 2750 W. Valencia Rd., and 1402 S. Craycroft Rd., and then for out-of-towners, check out the Sierra Vista location at 2097 E. Fry Blvd. and 139 W. Cottonwood Ln. in Casa Grande.
The new Taco Giro location can be found at 8320 N. Thornydale Rd. #110. For more information, visit tacogirorestaurant.com.

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.
