South Tucson's Taqueria Pico de Gallo is, by far, my favorite casual Mexican eatery in town. This taqueria, owned and run by the Delgado family, has been serving Tucsonans from all parts of town at its South-Side location at 2618 South 6th Avenue for over 18 years.
Pico specializes in Sonoran-style food with fresh ingredients and warm tortillas made to order. Their shrimp tacos are incredible, and I am not the only one to think so. They won the 2002 "Best Shrimp Tacos" award from Gourmet Magazine. And Food Network's Alton Brown made a stop at the taqueria for his show Feasting on Asphalt.
The service is fast and friendly, and the food is consistently wonderful. Most plates are under $5, unless you order seafood.
Here is a sampling of some of their menu offerings:
Shrimp Taco Combo Plate (three tacos with rice and beans) $6.50
Tacos (Cabeza, Barbacoa, Guacamole, Birria, Chicken or Beans) $1.25
Burros (Carne Asada, Cabeza, Barbacoa, Guacamole, Birria or Chicken) $5
Tortas (Carne Asada, Cabeza, Barbacoa, Guacamole, Birria, Chicken or Beans) $5
Large Horchata $2.50
Flan $3
