Bringing the Flavors of Mexico to Tucson's Streets

A Culinary Journey from Chiapas and Oaxaca

Heriberto Garcia, originally from Chiapas, Mexico, and his wife Maria Santos, hailing from Oaxaca, have poured their hearts and souls into 3 Margaritas Kitchen. With over 20 years of experience working in renowned restaurants like Guadalajara Grill and Casa del Rio, Garcia saw an opportunity to create something truly his own. "We came for the American dream, and ended up staying, starting our family, and raising our two girls in our traditions," said Garcia, reflecting on their journey.

A Family-Operated Passion Project

The family-operated food truck is not just a business venture, but a symbol of their dedication and the traditions they hold dear. Maria's sister, Lidia, is also part of the 3 Margaritas Kitchen team, making it a true family affair. The menu has evolved over the years, starting with the staples of tacos, burritos, and hot dogs, but as loyal customers began requesting more variety, the offerings expanded to showcase the depth of their culinary expertise.

Elevating the Food Truck Experience

From the classic taco plate with options like carne asada, birria, and adobada, to the innovative quesabirria tacos with consommé, 3 Margaritas Kitchen's menu is a testament to their commitment to authenticity and creativity. The adobada taco with added pineapple is a standout, offering a delightful balance of savory and sweet. Complemented by the avocado sauce, salsa, and a squeeze of lime, these tacos are a true work of art.
