    Carne asada el pastor barbacoa and pastor.
    Darling D.

    Won best taco 2025 now I see why! The el pastor taco was my favorite with the pineapple. Carne asada was good too. Only thing that keeps this from being my favorite taco spot is the red and green salsas didn't have any spice to them. Deserves 5 nonetheless!

    A must stop in Albuquerque! Location does have limited parking outside the facility but there is parking across the street, and behind the restaurant which is very much worth it. Order at the counter and take a seat, services brings your food to the table. Decided on the birria tacos with the consomé, accompanied with a single al pastor taco. The consomé was bursting with flavor and just added to the delicious birria taco. The al pastor was made to perfection with pineapples and sides of salsa. The environment is welcoming and generally can fit big groups of 5/6 which most tables can seat four but not a challenge to combine tables or seat side by side. The server provided me a great extra tip, suggesting I take the left over consomé and have Raman noodles added as a meal at home which I really appreciated. Can't wait to come back to Albuquerque and hit up this location again.

    Okay so I have had my fair share of birria and al pastor tacos in my life between living here in Abq and growing up in LA. I found this little hole in the wall while looking for a quick place to eat while on lunch break. Let me tell you I have NEVER had better tacos in my entire life! The taco shells were perfectly crisped and the meat was so tender it melted in your mouth! This is by FAR the best taco place in Albuquerque. Hands down! I had 2 Al Pastor and 1 birria taco. The salsa was perfect too! Some places the salsa is waaaay too hot. Here it was just the perfect amount of heat. I will absolutely be going back to try more. It took about 15 minutes for my Togo order. If in the area of 4th street please try this place. You will not be disappointed!!

    This is a whole in the wall restaurant that you will find right off of a main road. There is limited street parking available within a reasonable walking distance from here. the have a small, but adequate dining area with a television that had soccer playing while I was there. The restaurant does not look like much from the outside, but looks are definitely deceiving in this case. The guy that was working there was the friendliest guy. He was very helpful, courteous, and patient. They have a somewhat small menu that consists of quesadillas, tacos, burritos and burgers. They also have a breakfast menu as well. I came here after seeing a picture of their La Mamalona Burger, so that it was I ordered. It came with fries. It took them about 15 minutes for them to prepare my meal. It was really good. It was fresh, hot and tasty. The burger was unique and tasty. The fries had perfect seasoning. It was a ton of food and I really enjoyed it. I am glad that I was able to check this place out and recommend that you do too. They have some very savory food, at very reasonable prices and first class service.

    I got the Al Pastor tacos after seeing so many positive reviews of them. They were delicious! The sweetness of the pineapple shone through but balanced nicely with the pork meat. They gave plenty of sauce which I loved. I ordered to go since it was later in the night but there was lots of seating option inside. They got my order together fast in about 10-15 minutes.

    A new regular on the taco rotation for this foodie. I'd heard about Lobo Taco through a local food friend and I must say, you should go check them out the next time you're craving some cheesy, taco goodness. I specifically ordered three queso tacos al pastor and that was plenty of food for a solid dinner. My dinner companion ordered the birria taco with consume and she was very please with the flavor, stating that this was consume done correctly. The prices were reasonable and the service friendly. I could see parking being a bit tricky if they were much busier but we easily found street parking right infront. They didn't have cups for water so they ended up giving us bottled water complimentary and just overall were very kind. I will absolutely be back and I really want to try their chilaquiles.

    I heard this place had good Tacos. It's in my neighborhood so thought I would give it a try. Sure am glad I did!!! Restaurant is located just south of Griegos on 4th Street on the east side of the street. (Don't blink or you'll miss it.) Much to my surprise, they were super busy! I ordered Chips and Salsa in addition to 2-Buche Tacos and 1-Barbacoa Taco. Service was so good and the food was delicious! $$ I'll be back for sure!

    This is the wife's dinner. Can't remember the name but the lady said this is what they are known for.

    Found this place in yelp and decided to check it out. Best tacos we have had in a long long time. Was hoping for a taco Tuesday date night and this place filled the bill. Small place out of the way. Parking was bad. Had to park across the street but that doesn't matter. It was worth it. We will for sure be going back again and again. We also go the chips and salsa. The chips were perfect nice and hot freshly made. And all 3 salsas she brought out were fantastic. Not to hot. Just the right amount of bite to them.

My coworker and I had t different things he got a smothered burrito and I got the brisket combo, both dishes were too much food for too grown men. Delicious and huge portions plus a really nice presentation. The wait was a bit long but that just means they are making everything before service.

Everything has either red or green chili or what they call Christmas style and that's both green and red. Not on top of each other but side by side. They both were good. HOWEVER, they were spicy. Really spicy. The green Sause looked like mostly diced hatch green chilis with seeds left in. It had a good flavor. The red Sause was heavy (I think) New Mexico chilies. It had a bright red color, actually stained my fingers, and a woodsy taste. I got a comb plate. It has a chili relleno, tamale, taco, and enchilada with rice and beans. And it was good. It was a lot of food. (See pics) I'm from Oklahoma and the Mexican food there is alot different. But I enjoyed my meal. I would have licked the plate clean if it wasn't so spicy. 4/5

    The Mexican food truck scene is booming in Burque all with their own unique foods to offer. I…read morerecently stopped by the Taco Bus which is literally a bus turned into a food truck. Since their business name includes "taco" I had to try them out. I have to say that their tacos are very good with my favorite being the tripitas. I was also curious about their burgers since those seem to be an item that people get. I ordered the monster burger which is a Mexican style burger loaded with all kinds of goodies including winnies and ham. My description of it doesn't do it justice so take a look at my pics. Their tacos are very good but you also need to try one of their burgers, especially if you have a monster appetite.

My husband and I were super excited to try them, this was our first meal out of a bus! The goat birria is to die for! We ordered it in a burrito and next time we will get it in tacos with consume. If the birria is this amazing without consume, I can't imagine with it. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! The carne asada tacos and al pastor tacos were also yummy and very fresh. It is just that the birria was so amazing! After you order at the counter (or you can call ahead to order) they give you a buzzer so you know when the food is ready. We came on a weeknight and they were pretty busy.

We were worried about finding a table for a family of 4 since the main seating area is not the largest & it was really busy. But a table cleared right after we ordered so it worked out. The service was warm and friendly. They have a good selection of food - we wanted to try so many things. I had the chicken, barbacoa, and al pastor tacos. My wife tried the vegetartian tacos. Our kids ordered the asada baked potato and the asada nachos. Everything was delicious and tasted authentic. We've eaten many good meals in Mexico and this food tasted as good & possibly better! It's been a while since we've been this excited and satisfied while eating a meal - everyone was so quiet devouring their food. Just driving up to the restaurant you can catch the awesome scent of delicious food working up your hunger. There's so much to like about this place. The workers are friendly. There's an app you can use to order ahead & have ready to pick up using the drive through. They have an awesome menu & delicious food. The churros & agua fresca are great. The main area is family-friendly, but there is a bar/more lively indoor area & outdoor seating where you can hang out with your friends while having drinks and good food. There is an energetic happy vibe here. We have added this restaurant as one of our top go-to places when we go out to eat. Our kids get excited when we tell them that we're going to eat here! This place is a hidden gem - I highly recommend trying it out!

It's a very busy, noisy, family and a young people hangout.

Felt like that scene in the movie Old School where Will Ferrell is at the house party carrying a couple soda cans and a couple of the kids are daring him to chug. He tells them he promised his wife he wouldn't drink but then caves in after some peer pressure and chugs down that beer and goes "do this again! once it hits your lips, it so good!". That's been me since trying those magnificent tacos. Right away it didn't take me long to find what I wanted. You know I went for the quesabirria combo plate. I had to have me that dip and the exquisite tacos. They got em out in about 15 minutes bringing them directly to my car. I was so excited to try them I only made it across the street parking at the Panera so I could dig right it. I should've waited til I at least had a table to sit at cuz man that was messy but oh so good. The amount of cheese and meat combined with all the fixings, some lime juice, and of course a couple dips with each bite of the consume. It was heavenly. I'm glad I had a rather large collection of fast food napkins in my car with me. I really enjoyed the presentation of the tacos. Not to mention the chill vibes of the staff. They understood it was my first time and they helped me find what I was looking for. I'll gladly be back for more of those quesabirrias cuz omg they are so freaking good!
