Assuming you mean the I-10 tunnel the answer is yes, it is good, just watch out if you are heading west in the afternoon as the sun can be blinding (backlighting the sharp curve) as you exit the tunnel.
If you mean the old Bank Street (old hwy 90) tunnel just north of the I-10 tunnel, then no it does not have enough clearance (12 ft I think), but also it has narrow lanes and 2 way traffic.

By law, ALL overhead clearances on INTERSTATE highways must be at least 13' 6".
On the older US routes, that law does not apply.

Unless an exception is granted. There are a few such exceptions in existence. Very few, but not zero.

The inside lane on I 25 in front of Mile High Stadium is at 12'6" I do believe. The two outside lanes are just under 14'. I believe this is correct. I always had to be sure to be in the left lane when going through there. There is sign to warn people but you could miss that sign. A trucker warned me at a truck stop in Wy.

The two middle lanes are the high ones, and the posted signs indicate that trucks must be in one of those two lanes. The arch in the bridge makes the outside lanes shorter.
Following is a long video shows the lane to use so do not change lanes, what the approach looks like and going through the tunnel.
