Wow ! This is the best burrito I have had in such a long time, I was able to taste the mesquite, and the was so tender and delicious ...can't wait to come back here ....delectable and delicious plus the service was in Spanish and outstanding ..
I speak Spanish....fyi.
This place is super bomb !!! Mark my words!

We were heading to another Mexican restaurant but it was closed. Lucky us! This gem was right around the corner. Service was awesome and the food was amazing. We had the carne asada burrito (best weve had in AZ) and the tacos el pastor. The meat was a blend of chorizo, bacon and beef. Super flavorful. Chips and salsa were fresh and homemade. Would definitely go back!

Very chill and tasty, love the carne!!

(Translated by Google) The best Mexican food place in Tucson, it's like eating at home with excellent seasoning.

I had a burrito here. Clean place very delicious burrito cost me about $16. Know your Spanish when ordering. Because, I ordered a chicken burrito and he made a beef burrito which was very delicious so I didnt mind.

Good taco carne de asada. Their other tacos were sold out at 630PM better go early if you want to try the other flavors.

There is food made with love and there is fast food. This food is made with love.

Bambino should be better known: it is some of the best-prepared meats in downtown & South Tucson.

My favorites are the Al Pastor quesadilla, or Carne Asada Tacos/Burrito if I want something less greasy than a quesadilla. Hotdogs are great too! The meat is high quality and never chewy or grey looking like some other places.

Skip mediocre places like American Eat company and come here instead for better food!

*I'll add photos next time I go, I ate the food too fast to photograph it!

Don't judge a book by it's cover. Good family with some of the better food.

The best authentic Mexican food ever. They have tacos lengua y cabeza which is real Mexican food not everyone is allowed to sell it

Friendly atmosphere, great owners, always a pleasure coming here. Hotdogs are the best in town and when they cook their meat outside tacos absolutely

This is my favorite menudo spot in town now. Consistently bomb. My wife always gets the carne asada burrito and it's the best I've ever had. It's always super clean and quiet and the service is fast.

Great tasting good food & very nice workers plus a great cook.

Have gotten the most amazing carne asada burritos here! Maybe the best in town.
Service is fast and friendly, restaurant is clean and air conditioned.

(Translated by Google) Very good food and excellent service, family atmosphere

Comida muy buena y excelente servicio ambiente familiar

Every single thing i ordered off the menu was good, 10/10, hands down.

I had the pleasure of finding their wagon when I left a show in downtown Tucson. It was possibly the best Sonoran dog I have ever had. From hotdogs to toppings, it was heavenly.
Normally, I would have nothing to add about the bun, but this one was toasted to perfection and so soft after the crunch. The two ladies who served it up were an absolute delight as well.

Food is very good very nice people

Great mom and pop style; hole on the wall; diamond in the rough. Food was excellent. Service was friendly and fast. Dining area was clean and had a nice personality. If you are looking for local cuisine at a very affordable price, this is a great choice!

Ate at there truck during gem & mineral show at hotel venue. Sonoran hot dog was great. Loved it

great food and super nice people

I randomly came by one-day to have a bite and loved the atmosphere and the food. If you ever have a chance and are near the 5 points area come have a bite.

I forgot to leave a review a few years ago but oh my stomach is this food so good. The taste and mouth feel were on point. It hugged my insides

We've found it difficult to find a restaurant that serves tamales. La Cabana del Bambino does -- we just ate 4 and ordered 8 more to go. Muy, muy delicioso! Coming back later in the week to try some of the other items -- all prepared here and looking like my diet is over.

So impressed by how good the food is, even the kids asked if we could come back next vacation.

Omg. This place was uhMAZEing! Tried to come last weekend but due to mechanical issues they had closed early. Tried again today and so glad we did! Service was as impeccable as the food! Definitely will be coming back as we are in the neighborhood.

The owner and employees are very kind. The food is great. I would 100 percent recommend

Good family, good food. Glad they are here! Cabeza tacos are incredible! Paz!

(Translated by Google) Very delicious. Very friendly service.

Muy delicioso. Muy amable el servicio.

Excellent carne asada burrito.

A small and cozy restaurant near the quieter part of the greater downtown area. It feels like a taco truck but with air conditioning. The workers there are really friendly and are very generous with the potions. A hole in the wall for sure. Ive meet lots of people that consider it their favorite hidden gem of Tucson. Recommend highly to go on a Thursday afternoon because thats when the carne asada is made fresh.

The owner is the same guy who sets up next to Rialto theater.

Stopped by while in the area, and found the food to be quite good. I would recommend eating here.

Delicious food! Carne asada tacos are my favorite but everything is good here.

(Translated by Google) Very good food, excellent treatment.

Muy buena comida el trato eselente.

Food is so good. Staff is kind. My carne asada burrito was big and filled with goodness and so fresh.

Im not from Tucson, but have always been around authentic Mexican cuisine from other parts of the country and this is by far the best Ive ever had. Im planning on going back before I leave town.

I have eaten at a decent amount of Mexican food restaurants, but this one takes the cake. The carne asada tacos have the right amount of fresh vegetable toppings and the house made salsa is a true giant that stands on its own. The burrito is pretty big and will be hot until the last bite. If you are famished and craving food, this is absolutely the place to stop.

This hidden (almost literally) gem is well with a visit. Limited menu, but everything I've had has been great. It's right at 5 points next to the flower shop, if you're not looking for it, you might miss it!

Love their tacos, I have to have them every week.

Good food, try the mushroom Philly.

Food was really delicious. Hot dogs were standard but the hot dog bread was really good . The burrito was fantastic. Its like a well seasoned burrito but wrapped in a cheesy quesadilla. The soup was the best , it tastes like my abuelas. I recommend the Burrito or the soup.

Tacos de cabeza y al pastor acompaado de un raspado mixto

This establishment is run by a great couple very accommodating and friendly. I ordered tacos de Cabeza and they were among the best Ive had in southern Arizona full of flavor all on its own. The toppings along with the red and green salsa were also a tasty edition I will definitely return.

Really delicious Quesadilla and Birria tacos!

I've driven by this place a few times and only noticed the raspados. Saw that they serve food when it showed up on maps and decided to give it a try. The tamales are excellent, they have an olive and either nopal or a green chili strip inside which upped the flavor. Their sonoran dogs were really good but different than any i've had in town. All in all this place was amazing for the money. Will definitely be going back again.

The Tamales are big, flavorful, not dry or greasy, the red menudo is delicious, I'm not a fan of Sonoran dogs but theirs are great.

Update: 6/2022
They are back and awesome again. 5 stars.

Update: 7/2021
Their seasonings has been quite salty lately,. Not sure what prompted the change but the last few times we went everything was salty except the cabeza.

Awesome food for a good price. This isnt your typical quick place, it takes a few extra minutes for the food to be prepared but totally worth it. The food is higher quality and includes more veggies than most places. This is our new go to spot for Mexican food in the area. Only warning is to bring cash as their is a surcharge for cards.

Beyond great food ! Its the best! Fills your stomach and soul! Yes! That good! Ive had everything from here and its all very good! I recommend to everyone!

Best green corn tamales in town! 10/10!

It was really good and quick. It was authentic Mexican food too. I really enjoyed my time there.

Absolutely amazing, good prices, generous portions

Really good tacos de Al pastor and tacos de carne asada! As well they have tamales of beef and corn. Plus yummy fruit raspados. Highly recommend try it you won't be disappointed

I just moved here to Tucson for grad school and got a bunch of food recs from other students, and overall, I've felt pretty underwhelmed by the food here. I moved from the Bay area and I grew up in Portland, so I worried that my standards might be too high. I was getting fed up with the recommendations I had received and feeling constantly disappointed so I decided to seek out my own Mexican food by trying the closest spot down the street. They did not disappoint! Super small operation, and very kind service. I ordered one carne asada taco and two al pastor, as well as a bowl of menudo rojo. The Menudo had great flavor, and is a good size for a solo meal or to share. Both tacos were great but I thought the carne asada was particularly good. Next time I'm gonna try the carne asada burrito. 10/10 would recommend! :)

This place has THE BEST carne asada burros in town, a big claim, I know.

Mangoyadas are really good too

Best tacos de cabeza I've had! Hefty tacos at a good price. This will be a regular spot for me!

Update (12/11/21): Finally got around to trying their tamales and I wish I had tried them earlier. So freaking good. Nothing disappoints. I wish I was a food critic so that my words held more weight because this place is a hidden gem.

Bean and cheese burrito is great. Everyone there is always friendly

This place is amazing. Highly recommended.

The best laid back eat ever

Best Mexican food we have had in awhile. Can't wait to come back. Got to get the carne asada.

HOLE in wall is a hole in ONE! Hole in the wall are BEST finds for dinning and gives the mouth a surprise every time.

Excelente and delicioso.

Muy bueno el Hot Dog Sonora. Wow. Increible el sabor de arco iris en la boca.

The Sonoran Hot Dog was legitimately a tummy favorite. A rainbow of flavor that skimmed every cell on the tongue.

The steak burritos are superb and every bite is perfect.

Going back again! Love it.

We were looking for a late opened Mexican restaurant and found this fairly recent place. Very humble venue with very good food.

Phenomenal food! The Carne asada taco was so delicious, and the tamales are the best I've ever had in my life!!! Seriously so good! And on top of that, everyone there is so nice!

Restaurant is pretty good will be coming back often

This food truck used to be regularly parked in the alley bordering the Rialto Theatre. It was asked to move and now I can only assume that it sets up randomly around town but I have yet to find it at a regular location. It was always a man and woman working this small space and working it very well. They have good everything from what I've heard and while that may be true, I ordered a carne asada burrito and can't seem to break away from that. It is the BEST carne asada burrito I have had possibly ever. It is a generous size and stuffed with so much goodness I don't even know if I know everything that's in it but it's amazing! It for sure has carne, guac, beans, cheese and pico? and more. It is then grilled to give the tortilla some texture and it is perfectly delicious on its own but their salsas are SO good that I have to take a serving of their green and spicy red one. I had tried their sonoran dog once before the burrito and it too was tasty but the burrito......
