One of South Tucson's most beloved taquerias, Tacos Apson on 12th Avenue specializes in ambrosial mesquite-grilled carne asada tacos. The name of the restaurant pays tribute to one of Sonora's most famous '60s-era Mexican rock bands, Los Apson (owner Javier Durazo's father, Francisco Javier Durazo, was the band's drummer). The '60s rock memorabilia is cool, but the marquee attraction are the sumptuous, mouth-watering tacos. Apart from carne asada, you'll also find barbacoa, al pastor, and fish tacos on the menu, which are available in various configurations. If you're looking to explore beyond carne asada and al pastor, check out the bull testicle tacos.
