    Papa Asada

    I received my order completely spilled and with no care at all. Terrible service from the taqueria for not sealing the food properly or ensuring the order was secured. Very disappointing experience.

    3 Tacos de Quesbirria
    Lacy P.

    I Always order from this Food Truck and I would say one of the best on the southeast side of Houston! I've had the Super Quesabirrias, Gorditas, birria tacos and the Tacos de Maiz. All very delicious! The Birria tacos aren't crispy on the outside but they're nicely dipped in the consommé sauce, stuffed with delicious mozzarella cheese and rich flavorful shredded beef. Sometimes when you order birria tacos the Consommé is salty but theirs is just right. Service is fast and they provide you with green and red salsa with your order.

    12 dollar quesabirria

    12 dollars for 3 quesabirria tacos, but get this they aren't birria they are quesadillas with barbacoa. Talked to the owner and he asked did you taste it, yes I did and it's not quesabirria. He used a steak house as an example for not refunding money and that no business refunds money if you don't like their food. It's not about not liking the food but rather them selling something that clearly isn't. WOULD NOT GO BACK!!!

    Tacos

    Tried this new taco truck because I was in the area and let me tell you, I will be back soon. We got the order of tacos, some quesadillas and a chicken gordita. Everything was fresh and homemade. Love the red salsa and can't forget the delicious agua frescas.

    Came here because my BF wanted to show me what his late nights at Rice were like after a few beers…read more I was tempted to order more than just the hot dog, but we had a heavy lunch. I swear the Bulgogi Fries were screaming my name, though. Yoyo's Hotdog - Yoyo--YO. This thing slaps. I definitely craved a Coke or a beer while eating this because that salt kicks your taste buds' *ss. The caramelized onions paired with the crunchy onions were a double whammy that could topple a few hot dog title holders. The real winner, though, was the sauce--definitely something Asian-inspired. But hey, I'm running on five hours of sleep, and that's the best my smooth brain could come up with to describe the experience. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

    In Houston on a trip and was recommended to try this place out while I'm here. Service is super…read morefast and the customer service is great! I got their famous hotdog with spicy mayo, french onion, sautéed onions, and hot sauce. (That's how it comes standard) don't get me wrong it's definitely a lot going on from the flavors and the messiness of the dog, but the flavors balance out very well and the all beef hot dog is delicious. There's no spice from the mayo or hot sauce so if you don't like spice you'll be fine. I also tried their bulgogi fries which came with bulgogi meat, jalepenos, cheese and cilantro. My first reaction was it was delicious but it wouldn't be something I would get again, but after I kept eating it I realized this is actually really good and now when I go back I'll definitely try it again. Overall I definitely recommend this place to visitors or even locals
