This is a great find! They're not open very late, so come early. Carnitas ate so good! Handmade tortillas are the bomb! Salsa selection is really good. You should try this place. Expect lines.
The carnitas are amazing and the freshly made tortilla take the tacos to the next level. The service is fast and customer service is great. It's a must when in Tucson.
This place will ruin all other taco places for you because after you try them, No other taco will ever taste the same. They have the secret of making the best tortillas and the most tasteful carnitas. The combination of both are literally a party in your mouth!!! Best tacos EVER! Come try them, you won’t regret it. You can thank me later. 😉
A no-nonsense toco shop with great meat tacos. It is a very busy place at lunch and is not open for dinner. No frills but great tacos
The food is good and the employees are courteous and the prices are very reasonable. I would like to get chicharrones more often than only Wednesdays. The Best Carnitas in Tucson
I’m a loyal customer of La Yoca for years since 2020. Absolutely love the Carnitas!!! They never disappoint and the lines are sometimes long but trust me, the wait is worth it. The staff is so friendly and the atmosphere is authentic. No other carnitas place beats La Yoca that’s for sure. Love this place! <3
Jumped in here after a visit to the nearby VA. It was my first visit but I'm sure it won't be my last visit.
Upon my entry l was treated to the best welcome ever. Once I finally decided what to order (it all looked so good) my order was taken quickly and my food arrived practically at the speed light.
I had two beef soft shelled tacos. The accompanying hot oil sauce was a real treat.
I found them packed with meat and stuffed with layers of flavor.
I'd highly recommend a visit.
I am for sure a carnita's connoisseur and they do not disappoint! Sometimes on the weekends the lines can be long but don't be discouraged it is always worth the wait. The carnitas are soft, savory, crispy and delicious, The fact that they're partnered with homemade tortillas just makes it that much better. I always look forward to going and picking up food whether be for lunch or dinner and they give you enough carnitas to last a couple of days. I'll add photos if I can so myself from digging in....hahaha
This place has some of the best carnitas I have ever had. I also suspect the corn tortillas are made in house. No preservative smells and or stiffness just a soft freshly made tortilla just like my gut demanded... I will join a gym because I know I'll become a regular at this amazing establishment.
I got the Birria, wife got the carnitas mixtos, tortillas made by hand, open on Thanksgiving, and extremely generous with the portions, I went in with a whisky hangover and a bad attitude, left with a smile and leftovers, their birria is a great cure for whatever ails you, and some of the best I've had in Tucson.
