One of Tucson's most beloved taquerias announced on Facebook this morning that it plans to open a second location on the northwest side.

Tacos Apson is going into a former Chuy's restaurant at 6741 N. Thornydale Road, down the street from Costco. 

Since it opened in 2001, Tacos Apson has gained a hardcore following for its Sonoran-style carne asada and other beefy wonders. The restaurant at 3501 S. 12th Ave. is owned by Francisco J. Durazo, son of one of the founders of Los Apson, a famous Mexican rock group from Agua Prieta, Sonora.

Tacos Apson regularly makes national lists of must-eat spots in publications like Food & Wine. So basically, we're very excited! 🌮
