    Carne Asada tacos
    Txgirl M.

    Be careful getting the rice here the last few times I've been the rice tasted undercooked.

    Needed a quick meal for lunch because Braum's didn't begin serving lunch until 10:30a.m. I ordered the taco dorados meal for $8.00, which was decent. The beans and rice was AWESOME!!! Light and fluffy rice and the beans were creamy and flavorful. The taco roll-up were chicken...crispy but not much flavor. But the customer service, location and beans and rice gave this meal the 4 stars.

    Excellent portion. Tortilla wrap was great. Loved the mustard looking salad it had lots of heat but not over powering. I got the lengua burrito. A little too much refried beans and not enough kengua. Prices are great along with the portions.

    Have I said how much I love having food trucks in Watauga Texas? This taco gem recently made its way to my fine city, and they are throwing down some serious food that tastes just like I remember tacos in Baja tasting. Their Al Pastor is spot on, and Sopes are just like my friends used to make. Their Horchata is made fresh in house, and not from a package. Lighter on the rice side, and more on the cinnamon - A-Maz-Ing. They have several great salsa options and temps, and the staff is super friendly. Seriously, go get your Gordito Chon on Ya'll.

    It's amazing friendly people I couldn't decide on what kinda pork to go with on my Torta so they let me sample, I chose carnitas with mustard rubbed in...Dang it was good, had some green and red salsa , the red had some kick, and flavor the green was mild and complimented the mustard perfectly for me. Outstanding service and flavorful food reasonable prices I'll be back

    The sauces are full of flavor and compliment the already unbelievably tasty food. Tacos, tortas, traditional Mexican dishes, you can't go wrong! Without a doubt one the best TRUE MEXICAN spots in the area; clean, quick and excellent customer service. Bring tips! These guys deserve them!

    Greasy chorizo quesadilla
    Alexandrea R.

    barbacoa was really fatty left a thick coating in my mouth. chorizo quesadilla was not good and the whole tortilla was orange from all the grease. Red salsa was good but kind of watery. Only thing that I really enjoyed was the horchata and it would have been better if it was cold and not room temperature.

    so good. 10/10 recommend!!! They offer drinks and an array of meats, with amazing salsa red and green. It's a cute date spot to chill and eat tacos in your car together. The service is great, they speak English and Spanish, and are always so fast with your food.

    Good, fast and friendly! The food is great! Coming back to try the tortas!! Great tacos!

    In order from left to right, chicharron, azada, pollo, chorizo with red and green salsa

    This was my first time here and I will definitely be back for more!! The lady who took my order was polite and I didn't have to wait long for my food at all. I ordered 4 tacos (chicharron, azada, pollo, chorizo) and enjoyed every single one. I got one of each salsa and both had great flavor. I for sure will be back sooner than later

But boy, did they walk into a situation that really required 2 to 3 food trucks, and they were the only one... The line was long and the wait was longer, but I can't really fault them for that. Witherspoon had a bigger than expected crowd that evening, with some live music and a couple of events (including a Match.com event - that made for some fun people watching). Apparently BMB was told earlier that day that a large crowd could materialize, so they didn't really have time to buy extra food or prep much. But they kept smiling and were nice about it, and everyone went with the flow and it was fine. By the time we finally got our food (made to order for sure - took a while), we were starving. I got the burger (the brisket on a biscuit had run out) and my wife got the special (which I'm blanking on). Both were very tasty. The burger was maybe just a *tad* overdone and the patty wasn't big, but serving it on a biscuit-style bun with some yummy sauce made for a good, hefty sammich. With a side of fries that we shared - which were excellent - it was plenty of food. Value was pretty good, too, particularly for a food truck. I don't think I'd go as far as calling it gourmet like some people have, but it was good and were satisfied. I'd totally order food from the BMB truck again. Oh, and it wasn't exactly a truck - it's actually a really nice trailer. :) (See the pic someone posted.)

The explanation given that the system "couldn't handle the wind" is deeply concerning. If awnings advertised and installed for cold weather cannot be safely used in windy conditions, that is a serious operational and safety issue that should be addressed before guests are seated underneath them. Instead, customers were left exposed, freezing, and ignored. What made this worse was not the weather, but the complete lack of accountability or alternative solutions. No effort to relocate guests, no escalation to management, just repeated refusal. This reflects poor planning and even worse customer care. Management should take this seriously. I would expect someone to reach out, because this experience alone is enough to keep us and others from returning.

So we ventured out on a weeknight and found them easily. Just off 820 on Hwy 377 in Haltom City. It looks like an old fast food building they converted. We were the second set of customers inside at 7:30 for dinner. The menu is slightly confusing so be sure you ask questions. The girl taking our order at the counter didn't speak English so another employee came over and helped us through our order. We made our order and sat down. Unfortunately had to change tables twice because both tables that appeared clean were dirty. My arms were sticking to the table tops. The third time I sat down at I used a few wet napkins and wiped off some brown stuff. It also "appeared" clean. Moving on we got our order about 15 mins later. We both ordered the quesa Birriea tacos. We shared an order of the ramen noodles. I got a side of the borracha beans. They were ok. Sadly the meat in the tacos just didn't have a lot of flavor. That is the most important part of these tacos. Some seasoning of the brisket would do wonders. The beans were good but also lacked more seasoning. The noodles were good. Piping hot too! Overall it was ok, however we continue on looking for the best Birriea tacos in Fort Worth.
