El Taco Rustico

Mexican2 locations

El Taco Rustico offers a vibrant and authentic atmosphere that reflects its roots in Coahuila, Mexico. The exterior features a colorful mural depicting mariachi musicians, while the interior boasts a cozy setting with checkered floors and a chalkboard menu highlighting specials. The restaurant is renowned for its quesabirria tacos, featuring tender, slow-braised beef and melted cheese tucked into crispy corn tortillas, served with a rich consommé for dipping. Other popular dishes include the costillas (mesquite-grilled beef ribs), carne asada burritos, and the Malinche tostada topped with guacamole, meat, and jalapeño crema. If you want your carne asada with bacon and onions, order it as bistek encebollado. Chef Juan Almanza's dedication to authentic flavors has earned El Taco Rústico recognition among Yelp's top taco spots in the country .

Anne Rysdale built @sheltercocktaillounge in 1961 with concrete walls, lava rock, and Cold War nerves. Today, owners Pam Santangelo and Kevin Breutzmann keep the Tucson bar exactly as regulars remember it. Inside, martinis share space with JFK memorabilia, a vintage atomic chandelier, and a suit of armor named Charlie. “Tucson is changing so much, but this has stayed the same. It’s a time capsule,” Santangelo said.
