When asked who has the best birria in town, many Tucsonans will mention El Rustico — and for good reason. El Rustico got its start at the Tohono O’odham Swap Meet, before moving into a building near Grant and Oracle roads during the pandemic. Despite opening during a time when people weren’t leaving their houses, El Rustico managed to become a local favorite. The restaurant was even listed as one of Yelp’s top 100 U.S. taco spots in 2023.

Here, you can get birria tacos, quesabirria tacos and birria soup.
