Hefty portions of quesobirria tacos. Next time I gotta beg for extra green sauce.

Shelley R.

Today was Tuesday, and I was hankering for tacos nearby. Grab N Go? Torchy's? Nah, not bad but overpriced. Then I read what y'all had to say about Cinco's and had to try it. Glad I did! Got four quesobirria tacos to go for only $13. Deeelish and stuffed generously. I know the cup of braising liquid they give you is the tradition for dipping sauce but honestly, each taco was already so beefy and juicy they needed no extra dunk. Saved that though, in case I get thirsty later. [[HIGHLIGHT]]My only advice: stay and eat at one of the shaded picnic tables in front of the truck. They use styrofoam to-go containers, and those make ANY crispy food sweat as if they arrived in a wet sauna.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Why 5 stars? Because the quesabirria hit the spot. --- --- --- My wife and I were heading back home from Houston and I wasn't really hungry for dinner after a heavy, late lunch. I just wanted some cookies, so we stopped at a nearby place for just that. As we were walking in, my wife said, "I think I actually want something savory more than sweet". Like Pavlov's dog, I *immediately* also wanted something savory. We skipped the cookie idea and decided to swing by this food truck instead. It's hard for me to resist ordering quesabirria when I see it on a menu, and there was no temptation to sway from that here. This meal was exactly what I was looking for: delicious sustenance, but not an overwhelming amount of food. And while there is another food truck that still holds the G.O.A.T. status when it comes to quesabirria, I think Cinco De Mayo is solidly in the running for the 2nd or 3rd best that I've tried. I personally prefer tipping in salsa over what normally comes with quesabirria. I know that's kind of the whole thing that makes the dish what it is, but I've never been one to be swayed by what everyone else is doing. The green sauce was delicious and an ideal pairing, IMO. Now, did I wake up at 2am with heartburn because I have a faulty esophagus? YEAH. But was it all worth it? You bet.

Yalllll if I could give this place 10 stars I would!!!! I have been searching and searching for a bomb taco spot in houston near me, and I have found it! I see why they have all the stars!!! I came here a little before they opened so waited in my car. As soon as they opened, popped over and ordered some fajita beef tacos, gahhh....I wish I ordered more!!! They were the perfect size street style taco, with fresh onion, cilantro, limes and a sauce on the side. The meat oh man oh man the meat was so tender!! And it was seasoned so well to absolute perfection! And I do not say that often!! I had also dropped off tacos to my friend, and got a call minutes later saying the exact same thing and where could they go get more! I was hesitant to share the exact geo, but sharing is caring! Love that there's some outdoor seating so that you can enjoy the food there in the shade. Also, plenty of parking as they're located in a shopping strip!

These tacos were amazing! So much so that my boyfriend tried to take his daughter two days after we went. Highly, highly recommend! Best tacos I've had in Houston so far!!

STOP AND EAT HERE !!!! No seriously , the bistec tacos are sooo damn good with that green salsa. QuesaBirria tacos are a hit as well!!! I failed in taking pictures today because I literally SWALLOWED the food when it got to my table. Have ever SWALLOWED your food ? no fr fr stop and try the food , you won't regret it. Felipe was soooo nice and made sure I had everything I needed. Both him and his buddy worked quick and got our order out fast!

10/10!!! I came here on 1/12/22 for the first time since moving to the area. I previously tried another food truck that was closer to my area (like 5 minutes away) but I knew there was better out there so I kept looking - and found this gem! It is further (about 20 minutes from me) but I would make that drive ANY DAY for their tacos! The wait was decent, it was a little chilly so after we ordered we waited in the car. It was about a 10 minute wait so not bad at all. The service was also great and the man who took the order was very funny and personable. We got the Al Pastor tacos & of course the birria tacos. The Al Pastor was TOP NOTCH! I'm a HUGE taco connoisseur and taco lover. They made them so perfect. Their birria tacos - WHEW! Definitely in my top 2 (compared to this spot I went to in San Antonio) and I've been to a lot of taco trucks for birria. They were greatly packed with flavor, cheese, cilantro and onions, just how I like it. The consomé was also very flavorful! I'm telling y'all, these tacos are TOP TIER. This will probably be my new spot for birria tacos so thank you to the owners/cooks for this food truck. Y'all have a new long term customer!

Yarisel S.

Tacos de pastor were amazing! Get corn (maíz) taste way better! My friend got the tacos de birria and she loved them. They have a few picnic tables and string of lights so the atmosphere is cute. Can't complain about the service.

Claire C.

If you're looking for a taco food truck near Spring, this is it!! I got the pastor quesadilla which was delicious! Unfortunately it downpoured while we were waiting for the food, but there is a little covered area next to the truck where we were able to sit to eat and wait out the storm. Would definitely try again!

So on Sunday I typically take my wife to get her back adjusted at The Joint and after she is done we was both really hungry, so after driving around and not finding food we drove up to this small business lot and had 2 food trucks outside we had to pull in. So i ordered 4 tacos of been fajitas and a Mexican coke, so we sat down and waited but it only took less than 5 minutes for our order was ready the fajitas were full with flavor and tasted fresh off the grill my only gripe was the tacos were small but other than that every was great and service is awesome, I would definitely recommend this taco truck to everyone read more

Came here for the Birria tacos and they did not disappoint! The food truck is located in the parking lot called Louetta Medical Plaza. There is an outdoor area (about 8 park benches) if you want to stay there to eat. I came around lunch hour on a weekday and waited about 30 minutes after ordering. I would recommend calling ahead if you don't want to wait too long! A plate of 4 quesabirria tacos was $10 (comes with consome, avocado salsa, a side of cucumbers and radishes). I paid cash, it will cost more if you pay with credit. Would definitely come back to try their other plates! read more

Love this local taco truck just around the corner of our neighborhood! Noticed it would have a long line here and there and finally gave it a try! So far I've tried their burger, barbacoa tacos and quesabirria! Burger- delicious bun and juicy pattie with all the fixins Barbacoa tacos- these tacos are so flavorful and I love that they are not greasy! They are the classic steer taco so you can definitely down at least 3! Quesabirria- recommended by my BIL- sooo good, it's pretty much a fried taco dipped in their red birria sauce with a side of fresh radishes and cucumbers! Best combo ever! Love it Definitely will be back to try more of their menu! read more

I chose the meat combo of chicken/steak and she chose the chicken Marisco bowl. My other friend had the chicken quesadillas. The food was fresh, but in my opinion lacked flavor. I loved the prices of Gringos, but did not like my dish as much. My friends enjoyed their meals. As the night went on the restaurant became full. They have complimentary ice cream and cones for dessert that patrons get themselves. When we attempted to partake, the cones were gone and the station was messy from patrons not cleaning up after themselves. I would return to this location again and try a different dish. I would also recommend this business to others for decent happy hour drinks and food.

To be fair, it is my own fault because I tried El Mariachi a year or two ago and thought it was gross then. However, I know everywhere deserves a second chance so I thought I'd give it another try, especially when I saw it had such a high average rating. Let me first say, service is INCREDIBLE. Truly could not ask for better. The hostess was really sweet and she stayed kind even when I could tell she was overwhelmed by all the people. We had multiple servers come by to check on us at various times and do things for us and they were all great too. Absolutely 0 staff complaints. I ordered a watermelon margarita and couldn't drink it. The syrup was completely separated from the actual drink. I left it completely full and while I didn't want to complain, I was surprised that I wasn't asked if it was okay. Had I been asked, I would've told them. My husband thought his house margarita was good, but he did order it frozen and it was already half liquid by the time he got it. The food was not good. I took one bite of my beef taco and pushed it to the side. It was essentially Taco Bell meat. No shade to Taco Bell, but if I wanted that, I would've just gone to T Bell. It sure would've been a lot cheaper. My cheese enchiladas were also not good. I asked to have sour cream sauce on top & was charged $2 for it. I wasn't told I'd be charged extra and didn't see anywhere on the menu where it said that. Even so, $2 for sauce is crazy, but $2 for sauce when the enchilada ALREADY comes with sauce on top and all you had to do was replace it?? Wild. The queso was okay. Not amazing, not bad. It's the only thing I was able to eat. Not my personal experience, but two tables in our same section had issues with their food too and had to send it back. $85 for that is crazy. I'm glad so many seem to enjoy it, but El Mariachi will never see me again.

I gave it a try by getting a mixed plate with different items so I could try a little bit of everything. My dad got the same thing but a this different mixed plate and we agreed to share and taste each others food. The cheese enchiladas were good. They're made with chili gravy. The chicken flauta was good. I wasn't a fan of the beans and rice nor the Chile Relleno. The cheese is just shredded mozzarella basically not the actual cheesy find in a Chile Relleno. The stuffed avocado was too fried for me and way too much cheese. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for Christmas and the restrooms are super clean, which is always a plus for any restaurant. Unfortunately, we had some issues with our server, lots of miscommunication and a huge language barrier. In the end, I'm starting to wonder if he was just new because he didn't even know how to operate his own payment system.

And every single time it is so good. Best margaritas in town for sure. We also always get queso, the fajita is there so much that we used to get the fajitas for two and now we just got them for one because there's so much meat and the onions and peppers and you just can't go wrong at this place! Most importantly, get a margarita, the mango margarita I don't like frozen margaritas so I can get mine on the rocks usually rimmed with Tajin. The other cool thing is all of the servers expediters they help each other. I've been in the restaurant business a long time. Nothing in my eyes for front of the house then to have everybody working as a team. And if you stop someone, that's not your server and ask for something they just get it for you.

During my visit, I was the only dine in customer and I'm thinking most customers may order to go or do catering as the atmosphere just isn't very homey at all. I reviewed the menu and was originally set on ordering some dish with beef tenderloin as they have a few, but I ended up selecting my go-to, a gyro. I didn't want fries, so I subbed for the lemon potatoes. The gyro was very large and filling, and tasty. The pieces of meat were just shaved and not crispy or anything like you may receive on some gyro at other places. The potatoes were homemade and basically 1/4 potatoes, sliced lengthwise. I was so full from the gyro that I only ate one of the potatoes but didn't think it was very lemony at all. Customer service was excellent the entire time and they will even come to your table and take your plate away as if they are full service, which they aren't . I also ordered a slice of coconut cream pie, or at least that's what they said it was. It had no cream in it and appeared to be a coconut custard pie not that different than the one I make at home. It was delicious as well.

First, it's a freaking shopping strip with trash parking. That's the only complaint...oh and pretty warm inside but we are in the Texas heat. However - the food and experience was impeccable!! We got the bluefin tuna tostadas (10/10), Grilled Octopus & bone marrow (10/10), potato & queso empanada with caviar and crème fraiche (8/10), peach & burrata (9.5/10) as the appetizers and I can confidently say I was already blown away. Then we got the Wagyu Carne Asada (10/10), Duck two ways (9/10) and the Street corn agnolotti (8/10). Nothing was bad. it was all so good and I now see why there's so much recognition around this place. The service was great, the ambiance was unassuming, the food was perfection, and lowkey - I'm going back in the fall for next season's menu. Kudos to this place bc holy shit.

Parking was expected to be an issue as the lot is shared with other businesses in the center, but was not an issue for an early evening Saturday. But parking can be an issue at times, I was told. The restaurant is small with only tables and maybe 4-5 seats at the small bar. We arrived about 15 minutes before our 6:45pm reservation and had to wait due to no available tables, but that was not a showstopper. The noise level was moderate throughout our stay such that one could easily carry on a conversation with table mates without having to scream. Almost all patrons were nicely dressed. Since this is a Michelin acknowledged restaurant two years in a row, we were expecting uniqueness and we were not disappointed. That said, food was very good, but I would not rate it as spectacular. The blue fin tuna tostados were delightful and hands down the best dish we had. Ceviche mixto was excellent with a just a hint of heat. I would order these two appetizer dishes again. Main courses consisted of duck 2 ways, redfish with green mole and risotto, spring cavatelli, and grilled shrimp & pork belly. All were delicious and uniquely tasty with the exception of the duck. Mind you, I really like duck and the sliced portions were excellent and perfectly seasoned and moist, but the pate-like accompaniment was not that good, plus the mole sauce was not what I was expecting. Table sides of Brussels sprouts and fried cauliflower were good but nothing special. The Eton Mess with strawberries was simply delicious. Would I go back? Maybe, but not anytime soon.
