Sometimes it feels like Phoenix and Tucson are siblings who dislike sharing. Despite the relatively close proximity, there aren’t a ton of popular local restaurants that make the transition from one city to the other. Surprisingly few restaurants have made the trek north or south to the opposite city. It took restaurants like eegee’s a good forty years to make the jump. However, when there’s a good thing going it’s hard to keep it locked down to just one metro area. And so, despite the thick competition of taco restaurants in Tucson, a popular Phoenix-area taco spot is finally making moves and coming to the Tucson metro area.
The Taco Spot is spread like wildfire throughout the Valley. Dubbing itself as, “authentic Mexican food…with a twist of modern traditions,” this is the kind of spot that emphasizes dunking your crunchy taco into several sauces. However, these aren’t your average sauces. Any number of them are bursting with ramen noodles. So, if you’re a fan of ramen and tacos, news of the Taco Spot coming to the Tucson area should be fantastic news.
