" I ordered the carne asada tacos the last time I visited, and honestly, I was quite disappointed. The meat was dry and lacked flavor, which was surprising given all the great reviews. The staff seemed overwhelmed as well, leading to a longer wait than expected. On a positive note, I’ve had the birria tacos before and those were excellent, so maybe I’ll just stick with that next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried the birria torta and I was blown away! The bread was toasty, and the meat was flavorful, but I did wish there was more cheese. The service was rather slow, which detracted from the experience, but I must say the food makes up for it. Just take your time and enjoy the meal. It's a little spot in the heart of the food truck scene that delivers good flavor. " (*Curated Review*)

" The birria is very authentic; it's clear they know what they're doing! I enjoyed every bite and the consomme complemented the tacos beautifully. Staff were friendly, though it was a bit chaotic with the orders coming in. I’m happy to come back; I believe I found my go-to taco truck! " (*Curated Review*)

" Oh boy, what a find! This food truck is a hidden gem! I ordered their birria tacos and I was taken aback by the depth of flavor—the meat melts in your mouth! They pair perfectly with the consomme. However, I did experience issues with getting my order right. I recommend being patient and double-checking your order before leaving. All in all, a delightful experience with amazing food. " (*Curated Review*)

" The tacos were great, very rich in flavor! However, the wait was just absurd; nearly an hour for three tacos! I don't mind waiting when the food is superb, but I feel like they need to work on their flow a bit. If you go, definitely order ahead if you can. Overall, I'd recommend the food but not the experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Best birria in town! The tacos are sensational, but the wait can really stretch if they are busy. I love their consomme; it's rich and flavorful. Just be sure to call ahead if you can to save some time. I’ll be back for sure! This place did not disappoint at all. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience here was unexpectedly delightful! I decided to try the tongue tacos along with the birria, and I was not disappointed. Each taco was loaded with flavor and the consomme added another layer of richness. The only downside was that it could get too crowded, but I was willing to wait because the food was top-notch! " (*Curated Review*)
