Guacamole casera is a specialty at this restaurant. Chunks of avocado, onions, tomatoes, cilantro and jalapenos with lime juice and salt. So delicious! We thoroughly enjoyed this appetizer. 5/5 Birria tacos are not on the menu. But they have the best in my humble opinion. Seasoned but not greasy and salty. They fill up the taco shells with lots of meat. The meat is tender, succulent, seasoned well, and plentiful. The consommé is delicious and not greasy or too salty. 5/5 Lunch chicken fajitas were steaming hot delivered with a plate of refried beans, Mexican rice, lettuce, pico, sour cream and guacamole. The fajitas were seasoned well, not too salty and absolutely delicious. 5/5 Michelada was on my mind. I haven't had one in a while. Their Michelada was made with Modelo and Clamato with tajin on the rim. Delicious!!! 5/5 If you like guacamole and birria tacos. Please stop by to check out the foods. They have great drinks and drink prices too. 5/5

We have been on a quest to find the best quesabirria tacos in town. I read about this food truck…read morehaving great quesabirria tacos so I decided to find out for myself. The food truck has a nice Facebook page where you can find their weekly schedule. This is very convenient for finding the food truck. It was parked in front of Washlab on University drive. It is brightly colored and hard to miss :) The health department gave them 100 for their last inspection. Excellent score!!! I ordered a combo with 3 quesabirria tacos, a side of potatoes and guacamole with chips and a drink. It was a 7 minute wait to get my food and I was surprised as it was delivered to me. My tacos were filled with soft delicious beef and a container of consommé. Wow! These tacos were loaded with meat and very tasty. The consommé was not too salty nor too greasy. The guacamole was about 2 tablespoons worth with about 8 chips. It was good. The diced red potatoes were so delicious. They were excellent. My combo scores 5/5. From a meat to taco shell perspective, this food truck was 3rd and second in taste. The quesabirria tacos they sell are extremely tasty and I will return to buy more. I saw several things on the menu I want to try. It is impressive they score a 100 health department inspection. If you like tacos, please try the quesabirria tacos. The flavor is different from a taco or street taco. They are several notches up in taste and flavor in my humble opinion. Please stop by and give this locally owned business your attention. They have great food.

I've found my birria hookup in Huntsville!…read more I came by to try Catrina's for lunch last week. This is a food truck, though it's quite a large one and hard to miss with its beautifully pained sides! Most days they seem to not be itinerant and are instead parked in front of the Washlab (next to Shottenkirk Honda) on University Drive. However, they are active on social media and post their location weekly, and they do move around from time to time. Definitely check out their page before going looking for them. They have quite a large menu with lots of traditional Mexican favorites like tortas, sopes, and alambres, as well as some stuff for more American palates like hamburgers and cheesesteaks. I was, of course, after birria, which I ordered as a combo with rice and beans. The combo was fairly pricy at ~$20, but one thing I did like was that it included my choice of an agua fresca -- I chose pineapple this time. Service was very friendly, offered to help answer any questions I might've had, and got my order out to me in a timely fashion. I had no trouble ordering in English; likewise, the man who ordered after I did seemed to have no trouble ordering in Spanish. Win-win! Although the price was a little high, the quantity of food was great and the quality was impressive. My meal came with three quesabirria tacos, rice and beans, consommé, red and green salsas, a fresh lime, and some pickled veggies. EVERYTHING was yummy. The birria was tender and unctuous (though I wish there had been a *teeny* bit more meat), the beans were smooth and smoky, and the pickled veggies were delightfully crunchy and sour. The rice was just so-so flavor-wise, but it was nothing a splash of the delicious and mild-almost-medium heat red salsa couldn't fix. The salsa verde was herbaceous and cooling; my preference was the red but I can clearly see the merits of both! Lastly, my pineapple agua fresca was refreshing and sweet, though not cloyingly so. I finished my meal feeling so excited and happy about what I'd just consumed. The lingering flavor sensations of heat and savory, umami birria brightened my whole day! I will be back when the birria craving strikes again.

I ordered a build a bowl type of meal with grilled chicken, cilantro lime rice, black beans, onions, lettuce, tomatoes, grilled onions, pico de gallo, and guacamole. My meal came with chips and queso. My bowl was excellent. The grilled chicken and all the condiments were delicious. I was surprised at how delicious my bowl was. 5/5 Dave ordered a big burrito with grilled chicken, refried beans, grilled onions, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pico de gallo, and guacamole. His burrito was bomb. I couldn't believe how good it tasted with everything wrapped up together. His meal came with queso and chips. 5/5 If you are looking for authentic Mexican foods you won't care for this restaurant. The vibe is Tex Mex met a chef that wants to change how Tex Mex tastes.

We were seated in about 10 minutes, which is unheard of on a night like that. The service was next level; multiple servers worked together seamlessly, making sure every table was taken care of without missing a beat. The kitchen was firing on all cylinders, pushing out food fast despite being completely packed inside and out, and everything came out hot, fresh, and perfect. They even had complimentary snacks to build your own street corn (hands down my favorite) and gave out Cinco de Mayo glasses, which was pretty cool. I honestly can't say enough good things about this place, the food, the service, the atmosphere, all of it. La Placita is the real deal. Locally owned and operated by genuinely great people, and it shows in every part of the experience. If you're looking for how a restaurant should run on its busiest day of the year, this is it.

After relocating from New Mexico two years ago, we've tried place after place hoping to find something that actually hits the mark... and Taqueria Luna is finally it. Every single bite was on point. Not just the main dishes--the rice and beans were legit, which says a lot. The birria tacos were rich and flavorful with that perfect savory depth, and the asada quesadilla was packed with well-seasoned meat and cooked exactly right. And the mulitas? Honestly, they reminded me so much of pupusas--thick, satisfying, and just ridiculously good. And the consommé... omg. That alone is worth going back for.

Their pastor and lengua are phenomenal (asada is hit or miss) and the flour tortillas are soooo chewy and delicious. Their cheese sauce and salsa are mid. And the only reason why I took off a star is because their hours can be super unpredictable. Make sure to give them a call OR check their instagram page BEFORE driving over! Even though their hours said they'd be open, they're not always open... Eating tacos at Valentina's is one of the reasons why I look forward to coming to HSV.
