★★★☆☆ 3.0 Lisa DeVuyst · Oct 2025

Fast and friendly service. Taste was good, but definitely needs more spice. We tried the Quesabirria tacos (a little smaller than expected $4.50 each) We tried the Birria quesadilla $15 (good size). Has small outside tables, covered. Plenty street parking.

The birria is very good! And the consomé was too it didn't have any fat and I like that!! I took the food to eat it in the car it was cold and although there were tables and chairs it was cold and windy so I just wanted to go in the car. They gave me mint super nice and salt but no salsa 😂😂 I like spicy so if I go back I will ask for some. I just figured that they will throw a few 😂 next time I go I will ask if I can have salsa everything else they give out without asking. Mint, cilantro, radish, lime and mints

I’ve been here twice now and I love the birria tacos. Will definitely be back again.

I’m a sucker for birria ramen. And food trucks with a no frills outdoor seating area that’s shaded. It’s a cute little space and I went around lunchtime and there was plenty of room so that was perfect for me. It’s a comfortable seating area by a quiet street so it made for pleasant dining, although I’m sure most people take their food to go. I like the space here, so I like to sit and eat when I can. Especially getting their food fresh and hot it’s a real treat. Back to the birria ramen. I got the larger one the Tapatio ramen with birria. Omg it was tasty. Simple and delicious, hit the spot when I’m in the mood. Second time I came here, I got the birria bowl. I just like their birria it’s a classic taste and generous meat portions. Love the sauces on the side too. Classic birria can’t go

Some of the best Birria I have ever tasted. A great food truck that needs a cult following. Take a look eat everything and get to know the owners and staff great people.
