    a car parked in front of a food truck

    This place has moved to 329 N Las Vegas Blvd Las Vegas, NV 89101. When I got there, I noticed that the man making the food wasn't wearing gloves or a mask and using his hand and the spatula to flip the tortillas. I walked to the window and he KEPT trying to flirt with me, I told him that I had a boyfriend and asked if he could wear gloves. This man had the nerve to get an attitude and make our Carne Asada quesadillas sloppy. I'd already paid for the food and I didn't feel like getting into a confrontation with him in front of everyone, so I took my food and went home. I started eating before my boyfriend, and noticed a mildew/sour taste. I asked my boyfriend to taste my quesadilla before he ate his and he got p*ssed. THE CHEESE WAS BAD!!! I called El Grullo Taco multiple times that night, but it was already late, so I tossed my food and we kept my boyfriend's untouched Carna Asada quesadilla so that we could take it back in the morning. I called this place 15 times between 9am to 12 PM, and I later discovered that it was the cook's personal cell. When they finally opened in the early evening, I was able to bring the untouched food back with the receipt. I told the cook that prepared our food late last night that his cheese was bad and that we couldn't even eat our food last night. HE GOES OFF!! He starts cussing at me in Spanish and saying, "NO! YOU CANT BRING FOOD BACK! NO REFUND! YOU SHOULD CALL ME LAST NIGHT, NOT COME TODAY." I explained to this man as he was yelling that I called him multiple times. He called me a liar and I showed him all the calls from my call log. He says, "NO, CALL ME NOW! I SEE! I SEE!" So I called his cell again and it goes DIRECTLY TO VOICE MAIL. He heard this and had the nerve to get silent. Then he yells, "Well, WHY DIDNT YOU CALL MY OTHER NUMBER? WE HAVE TWO!" I told him that I did, I EVEN called the Pump and Snacks gas station that their food truck is parked on the side of JUST to get the first number that I found. He tells me that those men don't know a thing. So I show him the other number I called. Y'all we deada** argued for 15 minutes about "why I didn't call him." Eventually he looks at me and yells, "Well, what do you want?!" I told him I just needed a refund for the untouched food. He asked me why we ate the other quesadilla, and called the second one bad. I told him that I didn't want to bring the first quesadilla back to him when we'd already took bites out of it. We could have asked for a refund for both, but we ONLY asked for a refund on one of the meals. My boyfriend wanted to go to the food truck and demand a full refund, but I felt bad about trying to return the partially eaten meal, so I only brought one with me. I HIGHLY REGRET THAT SH*T NOW! I told him we discovered our food was bad by tasting my quesadilla. This man was unbelievably ignorant and tried to intimidate me into leaving by yelling at me. I stood my ground and he looked me in my eyes and said they don't offer refund, but he'll make me another quesadilla. He had a smirk on his face! I'm p*ssed at this point and told him that where he's storing his food isn't a proper place if the cheese was able to go bad. He brought me an up-opened bag of cheese and told me this is what it looks like. I pointed to where he was storing the food he was currently using and told him that it's unsafe when you leave it sitting OUT like that!!! I yelled that I didnt want sh*t else from his truck. I told him his food is going bad the way he's handling it. I told him that I would be going to the BBB and the Health Department to report him. He laughed and said I could do what I wanted, so I filed a few reports. He's gonna continue NOT wearing gloves and making people sick with his improper food storage. This place is going to kill someone. I called it first.

    Food is authentic Sonoran Mexican food with a variety I have never seen before. The only thing you…read morewon't see is pollo (chicken), but if its meat from a cow or pig, it's probably available. A word of warning, despite offering street tacos, this isn't really "fast" food, I stood in line for nearly an hour at lunchtime on a Friday. Layout and ordering can be confusing but start by finding a tray, if they are busy, there nay not be any at the counter. As you enter, scan the menu. If you are alone, Get in the line that matches most of what you w nt. Better still if you are not alone is the divide and conquer system, each person getting in line for a meat you want. If alone, you can order mire than one, you just order that lines meat, say lengua tacos, then let them know you also want however many of whatever meat/what, say 3 adobado tacos. You do NOT pay at the counter instead weaving your way back toward the register where you pay.

Its usually still busy late into the night because of all the night owls. My husband and I only come to eat after the clubs or a night out because its a vibe. Yes lines can be long, but never too long where we ever walk out. We always get Tripa and Lengua tacos with everything on them. I don't have much experience in other taco places to compare, but I only go to places that offer more than asada. Is the place amazing good? Not sure to say but I will say if you like soft and tender lengua and crispy, semi fatty tripa then I like it best here so far. Is it overhyped? Maybe, but I think they're good.

Try the Mexican corn appetizer with it's crumbly cotija cheese, chili, lime, and mayo on top of charred corn kernels. It's in 'esquites' form, which means it's not left on the cob like 'elote' is. Their specialty, nachos, are also well seasoned and the chips are freshly made on site. What drew me in to this restaurant was a past appearance on the Maury Povich Show, where I took a paternity test for someone who claimed she was my daughter. The end result? I was cleared, so Maury pointed at me while telling her that he's "Not yo' daddy." And so I visit Nacho Daddy on occasion, strictly for celebratory reasons. Birria nachos are excellent, made with a high quality shredded beef with pickled onion, cilantro, sour cream, cheese, and lime on top of a stack of chips. Having birria without consommé was new, but this one didn't really need it with all the flavors jumping out. Another recommendation is the cheeseburger nacho, an Americanized version with ground beef, bacon, cheddar, jack, queso, onions, tomato, and lettuce. The 'mini nachos' are perfectly sized for a light meal but if you're hungry, get the full size order which is huge and shareable. This location has been in business for 17 years now and there's plenty of seating in a nice, clean atmosphere.

    Title: The Best Birria I've Had... Period!…read more (5/5 stars) If you're a birria lover, stop what you're doing and head to Birria Bite. This place may be a small tavern-style spot with just enough seating, but don't let the size fool you. The moment you walk in, the aroma of the birria comes rolling out of the kitchen like a raging bull--it lets you know you're in the right place! They offer both goat and beef birria, and the flavor is absolutely incredible. I've only been eating birria for about five years, but in that time I've made it a mission to try it everywhere I travel. I've had birria from Las Vegas, California, Nebraska, Florida, and Texas, and I can honestly say Birria Bite is hands down the best I've had. I always order the Quesabirria Combo, and it never disappoints. The consommé is rich, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned--good enough to sip on by itself. And even though it's outside my normal diet, I can't leave without getting the Piña pineapple drink. It's sweet, refreshing, and absolutely fire. The hospitality is always A1, the staff makes you feel welcome every visit, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality and portions you receive. This is one of those hidden gems you'll keep coming back to. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out. Don't meet me there... beat me there... or be square!

I had the beef rolled tacos and was surprised they made them fresh once I ordered. Definitely a place to return to again.
