    Hidden gem! The line was long and very consistent they were out of a few menu items and offered substitutes. This was a delicious meal and worth the drive .

    Party Pack, so worth it.
    Patrick Y.

    Don't miss out on this place. I've had my fair ahare of Birria around Sac County and if you're ever in Elk Grove for whatever reason, this is the place to go for anything birria. It's hidden away in the Shell gas station, but oh is it worth it. The staff is very friendly and courteous. They are happy to explain any part of the menu to you. The food is made fresh, the moment your order is placed. OH! And the toppings are free! I ordered the Party Pack and, oh my goodness, was it worth every dollar. When they told me it's called the party pack for a reason, they meant it. It was a total party experience for my mouth. The birria tacos have a perfect crunchy cheese layer from the grill top and there is always a cheese pull guaranteed with every bite. The Torta Birria was my most favorite part of the whole experience. When eaten fresh, the bread is not soggy at all and it even had the perfect crispy edges from being toasted. The meat itself practically melted in my mouth and I didn't even need a toothpick afterwards. Paired with the salsa given to me, it was simply divine. 5/5 I plan to hit up this spot more often. I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who loves birria and supporting local eateries.

    Omg! Omg! Omg! Do not walk!! Run to this delicious spot. Very friendly staff and fast service. I would highly recommend this place. I would definitely visit this place again soon.

    Birria tacos with sauce

    The significant other and I stopped by this place to satisfy some birria taco craving. They have a very simple menu with just a few items on there which isn't a problem because I'd assume they excel at what they do focus on. It is also conveniently located right outside of The Trap bar which doesn't serve food. My boyfriend went and ordered for us. First, he placed my order for three birria tacos (their deal of the week) that included the consomme broth to dip the tacos in. He proceeded to tell them he'd also like an order of the same thing. They said it would takes 8 minutes. It took more than twice as long. When it was finally time for pick up, we noticed an order missing. He questioned the employees about it and was met with some very defensive comments. They definitely don't pride themselves in providing good customer service. So what about the food itself? Tacos were mediocre at best. The consomme was bland and certainly not something I'd pay $4 for (because it does not come with the birria taco order unless it's a deal box that states otherwise). This isn't a place we will be visiting again despite us living right down the street let alone going out of the way to drive to. Would not recommend.

    Inside Shell station. Simple menu, we'll executed birria. Quesa tacos were on point and wort a try.

    3.5 stars. This is a tough one. We miss Don Chuy's Birria food truck so much (closed due to family emergency..) and BirriaBoys simply can't compare. We went yesterday around 5:30. There was no line to order but there were 3 parties waiting for their food to be cooked. We waited 25 mins to get our food and the associate apologized for the wait. Probably they had too many UberEats to fulfill? We ordered the 3 tacos and the birria plate. They are on the greasy side and the meat a little dry. The prices are quite expensive but I guess that is the standard now. (Bay Area price!) They use styrofoam for the 3 tacos and the 'soup' but reusable container for the plate. I will bump it to 4 stars if they stop using styrofoam.

    Special: 3 birria tacos and a cup of consume for $10.

    There's not a lot of good Mexican food in the pocket area so I'm really glad they are here. They've been at this location for two months, Friday-Sunday. The guys are really cool and friendly. As soon as we walked up, we were greeted right away. The guy gave us a quick run down of their menu and also told us about their special, 3 tacos with the consume for $10. We ordered 2 of the special which took about 10 minutes to get our food out to us. The taco plate also came with a grilled pepper, 2 slices of lime, and one salsa. Loved the grilled pepper! The consume was good. Sipping the consume, you can taste the subtle flavors so it definitely was not bland. The food did not disappoint. Will definitely be back to try the other items on the menu. Oh, they take Visa, AE, Discover, and MasterCard and there's no additional fees using this payment method..this is a plus!!

    3 birria tacos with everything

    Saw this place on Instagram and decided to try it out. They opened at 4 and we got there right at 4, but it took a while for all the workers to get there on time so waited another 10-15 minutes to order. The order took another 15-20 minutes to order, maybe. On Tuesdays they have buy 3 get one free so that's what we did. Each taco comes with cilantro, onions, sour cream and cheese. If you buy 3, you get consomé included. I feel like for the price, you could add a little bit more meat to it. They didn't include napkins nor utensils in their to go bags. Overall, it was good. I might try it again in the future if I'm in town again or might go try somewhere new.

    Supposed to be consome
    LaShia L.

    I decided to go try this place with my younger brother bc we both love Mexican food and we've been looking for a good Birria place. Stood in like for 15 mins and there was only one person in front of us. Waited for our food for 25 mins while everyone else after us got their food first and they still managed to mess up the order. We ordered everything in these photos. Birria Quesadilla, 3 quesabirria tacos that come with a side of consome, then an extra side of consome. Keep in mind that on their menu when you order a side of consome it is supposed to come with meat in it. How does one serve quesabirria tacos without cheese bc then it's just tacos. Both of my consome cups were barely halfway full and the second one that I paid $4 for that was supposed to have Birria meat in it didn't even have any. Meat is bland, wait times are not worth it, service is not even good. They wouldn't even give me a refund. We drove 20 mins there and then 20 mins to get home and all they did was say we could just come back. All in all this was a big disappointment and I do not recommend. It would be one thing if the service wasn't the best but the food was great but it's gonna be a no on all fronts for me.

    Onions I had to pick out
    Alize D.

    I been wanting to try this food truck for a while, I seen today they posted on IG early this morning that they were going to be near me and to place an order online to avoid the lines , so I did that , I placed an order online around 11 am for a pick up time of 5pm for dinner . I arrived a few minutes early there was no line. When I got to the pick up window they told me to wait . Almost 15 minutes after my pick up time they called my name . I was so disappointed that my order wasn't ready on time and also it was messed up . I put no onions and no sour cream on my food and they put both. I had to take out the onions as it gives me stomach probs. It was an inconvenience that they couldn't follow simple instructions . And that they didn't start my order until I arrived . Overall the food was just okay ,except the beans they had zero flavor and the rice was cold .

Our server dropped off our food, said "chopsticks in the box," and we never saw her again. We needed napkins and water refills but couldn't get her attention. When we went to the register to pay, our server was behind the counter eating. She rang us up and went back to her food without saying anything or handing us the receipt. Overall, the interaction just didn't feel very welcoming. Service makes a big difference in the overall experience. Unfortunately, I wouldn't return.

Great flavor. Very juicy. Cooked great. Chicken karaage 10/10. The meat was very tender and juicy, and fried perfectly. The sauce served with it was delicious with the squeeze of lemon. Shitake mushroom... I did not eat. But my husband enjoyed it & says he would order it again. Unagi- 10/10. Wow this was sooooo good. It was buttery, savory, and sweet. Perfectly cooked. Flavored really good. Pork belly 9/10 love that it came with green onion. Just wish it was a bit on the crispier side. Flavored well. It melted in my mouth. Chicken gizzards-- bland. 1/10 Beef curry 8/10. Wish the beef was stewed or in cubes. Served with rice. Husband and I were not a fan of the sliced beef. Flavor was good.

We were able to sit anywhere and less than half of the restaurant was filled while we were there. The bench area would be a great place for a larger group to eat together. Maru is located in a decently-sized plaza with plenty of parking spaces so that's always a plus. Just be wary of where you turn in because if you miss the entrance into the plaza, there's no way to turn in from the surrounding plazas.
