Arizona has no shortage of restaurants where you can grab a delicious taco, but this little hole-in-the-wall is among the very best. Taqueria Pico de Gallo is a beloved spot in South Tucson serving up all sorts of yummy tacos on its signature homemade corn tortillas. The fresh horchata and fruit cups sprinkled with lime juice and Tajín can’t be topped!

Unless you live in Tucson, there’s a solid chance you’ve never heard of Taqueria Pico de Gallo.

TripAdvisor/urbanguy Tucked away on the south side of the Old Pueblo, this unassuming hole-in-the-wall is a local legend—and all it takes is one bite to understand why.

The atmosphere is anything but fancy—just a few tables and the counter where guests place their orders—but that’s exactly how we like it.

As soon as you bite into a Taqueria Pico de Gallo taco, your life will be forever changed.

For dessert, the signature “Pico de Gallo Fruit Cup” features sliced mango, coconut, and watermelon.
