" 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*)

" I had heard rumors that the birria tacos here were incredible, and I can confidently say they live up to the hype! Not only were the tacos tender and juicy, but the prices are really reasonable too. The service at the food truck needs some work since it was quite busy, but I would definitely recommend the food without hesitation! " (*Curated Review*)

" They serve some mean birria tacos, but the service has been quite inconsistent. Many times I've come here, I’ve faced both great food and slow service. It's such a shame because the flavors are incredible! I've also had the al pastor tacos, which were equally delightful. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here is quite good, but be prepared for a long wait during peak hours. The birria itself was flavorful, but I found myself wishing for more meat in the tacos. If you can handle the wait, it’s worth it for a solid meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the best experience here today! The birria tacos were mouthwatering and well-seasoned. It was incredible to see how packed this little food truck was and all for good reason. They’re well worth the wait! The service was friendly too, and they were accommodating of my vegan friend. " (*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*)
