    Birria, al pastor, lengua and cabeza
    tim n.

    I stumbled across this taco trailer while I was getting my truck serviced, it's across the parking lot from the Reliable Auto Service on north rancho, and I'm glad I did! It's a small operation, a couple of folding tables and chairs under a tailgating tent, and bottled Mexican coke and some sodas in a cooler, but they churn out some fantastic tacos. They have a diverse menu with plenty of options, from the standard street taco to tortas and birria. You can pick which meet you want for whichever entree and they come standard with some deliciously spicy red and green salsa. I ordered a birria and 3 tacos (al pastor, lengua and cabeza). The meet is cooked well, tender and juicy, and the seasoning is tasty enough to eat without and additional salsa. The tacos come standard with chopped onion and cilantro, so if you don't want the topping then tell the cashier. There are only two people working the trailer, they were very friendly and speak both Spanish and English. They take all major credit cards, debit and cash. There is very limited seating, so that is definitely a factor. Several customers got their orders to go which seems like good idea if you have a group of people. I highly recommend you stopping by and try their food, I know that I would drive out of my way if I was in the area just eat eat there again!

    Been literally dying to try the birria here and i finally got my chance! Every time i came here in the past they were closed. I ordered 2 birria just to try and i mist say it wasn't disappointing but not taste bud spectacular. A tad under seasoned but still well put together. Green and red sauce was bomb. Sisnt try the birria dip bc i was in the car and it was greasy enough. But the meat had good flavor just needed a little salt and extra onions and cilantro. I cant wait to come back (after my diet lol). Looking forward to gaining weight with you guys lol

    Stop by to get my car wash!! Was hungry so I tried this taco stand.. The tacos are fresh and very tasty . I love the fresh homemade corn tortillas.. The service was fast very friendly.. very good tacos

    Hands down some of the best tacos in Vegas come from this taco truck. I've had a wide variety of meat from asada to al pastor and even lengua-- all equally delicious. The tortillas and sopes are made from scratch and they are super soft. I've also had the birria which was super good. I recommend coming here for some authentic Mexican street food. It's not Tex-Mex but REAL Mexican food. You won't regret it!

    Absolutely delicious! I've been wanting to try their tacos and finally got the chance. We ordered 3 each of the carne asada, pastor and burria tacos with consumé. The service was fast and they were so nice. We will be making this a regular taco stop!

    Service was quick and friendly. Tacos and burrito were ok; lacking more flavor. Will try them again if I'm in the area.

    Got the tacos de Birria and they are delicious

    Honestly best Mexican food I've had in Las Vegas. Birrio tacos were amazing along with the quesadillas and mulitas. Quality stuff!

    food is always fire, service is always stellar as well…read more shoutout abby at the durango location, she took great care of us :)

    I need to write a review of my experience here. Long story, short, I've been wanting to come here…read morefor a very long time. And recently, I had this very weird addiction to tiramisu. I recently saw a review where someone snapped a pic of the seasonal tiramisu that I really wanted to try. So on a random day, I made a trip. Took about seven hours since I'm coming from another state. And the insane part, was that I only went for the tiramisu. When I got to the food truck, I was surprised to find out that the tiramisu I was trying to get is no longer "in season." but the awesome guy at the front explained that the new flavor was the apple crumble. And he also mentioned that he loved this more than other flavors. So that was enough to convince me to get it and I will say,.. that was the best tiramisu I've ever had in my life. If you're reading this review, this is your sign to go try that apple tiramisu before it's gone. There were a little bits of apples that were just bright little surprises of flavor. You had a very traditional tiramisu look, but the flavor was beyond what somebody could imagine. It wasn't overly sweet, it wasn't overly wet. Everything about this tiramisu was perfect. If 303 decides to keep this on their menu, that would be one of the best decisions ever made. I would come back just for that. Moving onto the person who took my order. This person was absolutely perfect. Not only was he super fast and efficient, he was extremely knowledgeable about the food and even convinced me to give to my other addiction, which is cheesecake. I really enjoyed the small chat we had, but more importantly, I really appreciated his enthusiasm for the food they sell. I didn't expect to get such good service at a food truck close to midnight. But that cheesecake, wow. I knew this cheesecake would be out of this world when the cashier guy told me that mascarpone was in the filling. You can't even begin to imagine how many levels of lusciousness this cheesecake was. And not only that, this is one of the very few, if not only, American cheesecake maker that doesn't dump tons of sugar in it. The cheesecake was perfectly sweet. And what threw this over the top was the berry compote. The berry sauce had very low sugar, and it perfectly worked with the cheesecake. At this point, I can't believe how much I've actually written about this experience considering how fast I was out of there. But with that side, the atmosphere was amazing. There was a good group of people lined up to get food. But the hilarious part was at the food truck was what looks to be in a strip club parking lot. I could be wrong but I just found that to be interesting. There may be a lot of of you who are browsing the reviews and are finding out that these desserts are a little bit pricey. But let me tell you, aside from the fact that this spot uses high-quality ingredients to make their desserts, the quantity they give you is massive. I guarantee you won't finish it in one day unless you are me and have a serious addiction to their food. Give their food a try at least once, and you'll probably end up going back repeatedly. I know I'm gonna go back. It's worth the hours long drive. Because then you'll have amazing food to eat on the drive back. If the owner of this food truck is reading this, I just want to say thank you for spreading a little joy through your food. I really appreciate it. I've been going through a tough time recently, and the cheesecake and tiramisu is really helping me a lot.

    I love this taco truck! It's my go to taco truck! They have the best in my opinion taco Tuesday…read morespecial. I take advantage of it almost weekly! And during the other days, I still eat their tacos I think this is a really good truck. I would highly suggest coming here to get some tacos. They have really good Pollo tacos. Also, I love their pollo asada tacos the best. I think the flavor and moistness is hands down the best I've had. My boyfriend loves their Al Pastor and Carne Asada tacos. They have a large assortment of meats to choose from, lingua, asada, birria, abodado, carnitas. More than just a taco truck, they have birria ramen, tortas, carne asada fries. I have not tried any of those yet. During the day you'll find lovely ladies that are helping you at night and I find that it's usually the same guys helping you every night. All the staff that I've seen has been very friendly and very welcoming and eager to assist. It's just a taco truck right next to the Arco gas station. Can't miss it, big red truck. Sometimes there is a wait especially if you come during peak hours, but usually they can get your order in and out within about 10 minutes. They do have a rewards club that you can join. It's 1 point for every seven dollars that you spend. And then sometimes you'll also get text specials and freebies which I enjoy. I think that the food here has a lot of value and it's good portions. Don't miss out on the taco Tuesday special which has two dollar tacos. That way you get to try a few different kinds of tacos.

    This was the first time ordering and SO GLAD I DID ! This combo meal was soo good! The birria tacos…read morewere so flavorful and the consume was good not too salty, the rice was great and the beans!!! Loved the beans. I ordered the Guava auga Fresca for my drink it was sooo good!! Never had that before. Definitely ordering again since they are right down the road!

    I used to come grab tacos from Sinaloa Tacos back when they were the only food truck on the corner…read moreof Decatur and Lake Mead, so it's been cool seeing how popular they've gotten over the years. Yelp doesn't seem to have the correct address but they're basically on the same corner as Mi Pueblo Taco Shop (1920 N Decatur Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89108). My coworker recently brought one of their carne asada burritos to work for our lunch and after one bite, I was hooked! I ended up coming back here on my day off just to get one for myself. I also tried their pastor burrito and it did not disappoint! The burritos are huge, flavorful and packed with well-seasoned meat. The salsa options gave it the perfect extra kick. I also grabbed a Mexican Coke cuz you just have to at this point. LOL! Definitely one of those local spots that keeps you coming back. Simple, delicious and always hits the spot! Also, FYI : Yelp has their hours wrong. The lady who took my order said they're open from 11AM to 11PM, not until 1AM. Learned that the hard way when I showed up around midnight one night and they were already closed. Haha!

    Last night we came over about 30 min before they closed there was other people not just us service…read morewas ok, but food was not we had a carne asada burrito cheese wasn't even melted that's how cold it was, meat tasted old and of course was cold, we also got a hot dog with everything and also was cold, bacon tasted old and was hard ‍ we were really disappointed we been coming here since they were at the llantera and when they were at the veterinary too we look forward to this food when we in the area I guess no price is taking anymore in food made at this place I was even worried I was gonna get sick in pic food looks ok but everything was cold and old
