The chicken inside was very dry and had a chalky flavor. Even the salad had something sweet in the dressing. The rice was the only good part. I would not order this again as most of it went to trash(compost). Quesabirria Plate was a bit better but still bland. The chips were incredibly salty. Burrito Bowl also suffered the same sweetness fate. You could only eat half to fill yourself up and the rest was painfully inedible. Portions were average and decent for price. The freshness seemed fine, just the overall lack of flavor and sweetness were highly disappointing

The prices definitely went up but honestly, given how much this place has grown and recognition they have received, it does makes sense. I ordered my childhood go-to, their birria tacos and a horchata. I already knew what I was getting into, but that first bite still hit me with a wave of nostalgia and pure flavor. The tacos were as rich and juicy as ever, and that horchata? Still absolute perfection, sweet, creamy, and the best way to wash it down your meal. Maybe I'm being dramatic, but this place just has a special place in my heart. So if you're in the area and craving some birria, 100% make the visit.

It tasted boiled and lacked flavor which was so disappointing.

We will definitely be back and will specifically be asking for her section! The restaurant is nicely spread out. We lucked up and got the last booth! I also like that they have a huge sign that says Restrooms so it's easy to find. It was very warm in there and a few flies. I think if the air was up more-the flies might leave.

Lots of drink options and specials. Don't miss the soft serve margarita available this summer!! Menu items are hit or miss, which is where I suspect some of the lower ratings come from. Crunch wrap is a solid go-to. But the Crispy Mushroom taco is where it's at!! The griddled Nixta tortilla makes this meal what it is. Paired with roasted mushrooms and shredded cheese, and some additional accoutrements, you can't go wrong even if you're a carnivore. Check out this fun neighborhood staple!

Our recent visit my wife got the carnitas tacos, I got the torta and an order of the Rajas and for drinks were ordered the pineapple express margarita and the habanero cilantro margarita. We had 2 other couples with us and we all agreed everything was spectacular. Pictures are from our first visit.

The truck doesn't seem to be out and about all that often and each time I've been lucky enough to try their birria it has been when they've been parked outside of Lake Monster Brewing. If the last time I visited was any indication, it appears that they're sticking to what they do best - birria. Gone were any options that didn't involve that beefy goodness, which is fine by me, as that's the only thing I'd be ordering. I can't speak to the birria burrito, but the tacos and quesabirria will remain my standby's as long as they're around.

I was super pumped to see that they were returning to St Paul for the first time since The Descent…read moreInto Plaguetimes. I definitely don't feel right sitting inside a crowded restaurant yet, but strolling up to a food truck in a parking lot and chowing down on something tasty that's fresh off the grill, that is an activity I can very much get behind in July of 2020. I've had their tacos before and I knew I just wanted more of the same, so I ordered 3 tacos. And I asked for a fourth as well. Give me a break I was hungry and I hadn't eaten anything all day! They were delicious and I strongly suspect I'll stop by for more next time I see that they're back in St Paul. (They appear to divide their time between Pine City and St Paul.) A few caveats, though. One is that there were tomatoes on my tacos which I didn't want. The description doesn't mention them so I was unpleasantly surprised. Also I couldn't find anywhere for trash in the area. I'd expect them to supply that if there isn't anything around. And as they were parked outside The Lab's taproom, maybe they assumed we could get beverages in there, so they didn't appear to offer any. But The Lab's bar was only serving drinks to people on their patio. But despite all that, I know that I will be consciously craving these tacos again soon. I can't wait to return! Maybe a drive up to Pine City is in order...

By far my favorite food truck, this gem serves up authentic Mexican food (and a little…read moreAmerican-style for the gringos). They can usually be found somewhere on University Ave in St. Paul during the work week, though the location has varied lately. Last week I saw them by Bally's at University and Dunlap, in front of Sun Foods on University just east of Dale, and on University between Victoria and Lexington. The lady who owns the truck told me that they are planning on moving west of 280 in the near future, but they encourage calling ahead to find out where they are and to place an order for pickup. Now, for the best part - the food. The delicious, amazing food. Three styles of tacos (soft shell, Deep-fried American-style, and Border/Mexican style), burritos, tamales, quesadillas, three meats - choose from ground beef, chicken, or pork - and all available with rice and/or beans. The Border tacos are my absolute favorite. Two corn tortillas with meat, onion, and cilantro, and a lime to squeeze over the top. There is hot (red) sauce, or mild (green) sauce and, although I prefer the spicer hot sauce, the verde sauce goes really well with these tacos. I have recently started ordering the carnitas (pork), and it is outstanding - roasted, shredded, and perfectly seasoned. The food is a little more expensive than Taco Bell or Taco John's, but there is absolutely no comparison - this is real, authentic, homemade Mexican food, with real meat and fresh toppings, all made to order. I think I could eat these tacos everyday and never look at another fast-food taco again.

Visited this spot today…read more Had the chilaquiles, and tacos de asada. Told them specifically no veggies of any kind on the chilaquiles and tacos de asada. The tacos had onions in the meat, and the chilaquiles had papalo. The skirt steak that came with the chilaquiles were bland. I also told them I wanted a sunny side up egg on my chilaquiles, but they cooked the egg yolk. I did not ask for that. Nice service and nice ladies working there. I do not recommend going to this place.
