“Taco Tuesday in Tucson” is a column where we explore the unique tacos stands throughout Tucson… on Tuesdays.
There’s something beautiful about dipping tacos into a broth and then struggling to maintain a somewhat clean appearance. We’ve mentioned Ensenada Street Food in the past, but this one plucks the heartstrings of the meat-free crowd or for those who are simply looking to try something new.
Charro Vida, one of the newest additions to the Si Charro and Flores Concepts family, has something special in its Quesabirria Jackfruit Tacos.
Some people see these tacos as savory, guilt-free bites but others just love the way they taste. The tacos arrive at your table “street-style” on soft corn tortillas with a vegan taco crema, slaw, and golden salsita — muy caliente, indeed.
Charro Vida is open from 11 a.m. – 8 p.m. daily — a perfect time to enjoy these tasty treats when it’s nearly midweek and you’re already thinking about the weekend.
Charro Vida is located at 7109 N. Oracle Rd. For more information, visit charrovida.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.
