Customer Reviews
Parking was a bit of a bother but the food was soooo worth it! I got the Birria Ramen and it was jam packed with meat, noodles and sauce, just the way I like it! Sauce was rich and flavorful, meat nice and tender. Ample toppings as well. Bravo and well done to the man working the truck. I will definitely return in the future.
Not quite sure why this place has such a high rating. The amount of food vs. cost, was not equal. I was refused a refund. For $12 It is not worth it. There was minimal filling inside. They tried to use cheese to make it look full, but there was a clear lack of meat. They were even chintzy down to the amount of sauce given. The container not even half full. Add to it that with the sauce, had a taste more along the lines of a beef bullion. I had high hopes going here since this was my first time. I will definitely not come back. Low quality food and a lack of filling in the shell and refusal of a refund when every piece of food was returned as it was given to me, minus one bite, is bad for business. Could have just been a one off, but hands down the worst and most lacking quesabirria I have
Delicious!! I recommend this truck - they have a great variety, food is made to order and is ready in 10-15 minutes. I highly recommend the quesabirria tacos - you get 3 for $12, and it comes with the birria oil, and a side of radishes, cabbage, and carrots. I also tried their rice and beans ($3 each) and it tastes good as well - the rice is basically just plain rice and the beans are black beans. Also, getting their regular tacos are good too - including the cabeza taco which I tried - it was good so don’t be scared of it! Beware of the sauces if you’re not into spicy sauce - the salsas they give are both spicy (green and red), so if you like no spice, don’t get the salsa. If you like spice, it’s a great addition to the meal. Would highly recommend and it quickly became one of my favorit
Frequent visitor of this food truck that previously was ran at JPA with a couple woman working it. I just recently visited after their temporary closing and the man running the truck was incredibly rude. I placed an order and said that we would be there in 15 , we unfortunately went to the wrong location and by the time we got to the food truck we were unfortunately 15 mins late, which apparently was the cause for him closing the food truck at 2:30 and refused to give us order even though he showed me that it was done. He then proceeded to tell us to never come back again. They also supposedly close at 8 so I’m really disappointed and confused. Hw later refused to open the truck for anyone else who came after and didn’t even acknowledge them. Overall terrible experience. The one star is fo
I’ve been wanting to try this truck for a while, and finally got around to it! We ordered the birria and some steak tacos. The woman at the window was so sweet, and friendly. The food was really really good. The birria was amazing of course- tender, flavorful. The tacos were also good. We will definitely be back to support this small local family business!
