Taqueria El Rapido

I stayed the night in south Tucson as I was driving thru and decided to try this place out. I ordered 2 adobado tacos and a frijole burrito. The tacos were okay; they came with just the meat and cabbage (lettuce). The burrito was pretty good (I love bean burritos). They have a great assortment of fresh salsas, guacamole and other fixings. The price was great and their little spot is nice. Born and raised in California, so I’ve had much better. I recommend, and would eat there again, if I’m in the neighborhood.

I switched jobs, and as usual I looked on Unilocal for yummy things near me. I found this little gem, and I was glad I made the choice. First of all, they accept debit/​credit cards, which most street carts on the south don’t. The fresh salsas are nicely chopped, none of that big huge chucks of random onions, they’re all evenly chopped. Oh, and they’re good! I had carne asada tacos, and lengua (tongue) tacos. The lengua tacos have been the BEST I’ve had in town so far, the carne asada were top five. Their tables were clean, somewhat muddy floor, but it had rained a bit. Everything else was spotless. I definitely recommend.

Great fresh food. Both my husband and I ordered Carne Asada Burrito’s. They came with cabbage which was unusual for us but very good.

Good solid tacos– only meat/​bean options, no seafood. The fiancée looved the chicharron and birrin tacos; they were fresh, flavorful, just the right texture. Good deal for 1.25−1.50 per taco. The Quesadilla and Burrito were pretty good as well, they make a pretty thick tortilla.
Best part is their mini salsa bar– with a few salsas, tomatillo, pico (spicy!!), chopped onions, limes etc.
Served by a truck– covered, very clean outdoor seating. Fast service.

It is not always location, location, location. When it comes to Mexican food it is service, ingredients, and passion. Stopped by, not because it looked like a great place to eat, but because of great Unilocal reviews. The review were correct. Great food, friendly service, clean, still burns just a little bit.

As other reviewers have said this place is sqeaky clean and the food is delicious. The carne asada burritos have gone up in price to five dollars recently but well worth the price. The last three times I’ve eaten there the carne asada has been way to salty, almost inedible. I’ve been a fan or too long to give up on them though and will give them a few more tries.

With food trucks being the new rage, I can say i’ve found one of the most professional, affordable, and delicious spots in south, no, all of tucson for quick mexican cuisine.
Tacos are at $ 1.25 no tax, burritos between $ 3.50 to 4.50. They also do carmelos and tortas, etc
This was where I tried my first cabeza taco, and between the tender juicy texture topped with every fresh condiment you can think of from their salsa bar, there is no wrong.
The burritos are perfect portioned, they use a pico sasla inside the burrito which provides an expanded flavor.
Must tries:
Salso Rojo
Carne asada tacos
Cabeza burrito
anything with cheese

Yum! I was headed to my parent’s pool and my stomach was growling… So, soon as I peeped this taco truck I bee lined it. I am glad that I did. I had three asada tacos, which were a bit fatty and a cabeza caramello, which must have been good, as it was gone before I got any. The salsa bar was filled back up while we were there and it was tasty. Fresh limes, cucumber, salsals, pico, pickled onions. The tables were really clean, and they were doing good business. I did not see any pollo on the menu or sonoran dogs, which was sad… The coolers are stocked with glass bottles from Mexico, and I recommend the Lift, which is apple flavor. I would come back.

Best carne asada torta, burrito and service! Very clean and great prices.
They are even open for lunch!
Soooo good.

Excellent tacos with plenty of condiments to add. Friendly service and great prices. $ 1.25 for an asada taco! My kind of place.

The tacos are small and the corn tortillas are resilient – this is a squeaky-​clean, one-​tortilla kind of taco truck. Despite those setbacks (and yes, squeaky-​clean is a setback), El Rapido slings good tacos. The asada was supposed to have been adobada, but it was delicious, and delicious ends any discussion. A dry meat like asada can be a little grating when paired with a tough tortilla, but this wasn’t as much of a clash as it could have been. The birria was a definite winner, seamlessly integrating with the tortilla. Putting anything on that taco would have been apostasy; it was created perfect. The cabeza was the weakest of the three tacos, but it could still headbutt most of its peers straight across Benson Highway.
Taqueria El Rapido isn’t registered at its current location, so it is hard to know if it usually parks somewhere else or has recently moved. It seems fairly stable at the moment, so you might consider making a special trip…
Prices are like every other taco truck, service was unmemorable, and the tables didn’t attack. Good enough.
