    I wanted to love this food truck because with Birria you just can't go wrong, but I was definitely not feeling their style of Birria nachos! I wanted Birria nachos so badly after reading about this food truck on Gothamist and I did not get what i expected! At first I had very high hopes but I got so so much cheese, very little nachos and very little Birria. I actually love cheese but if you're expecting authentic Mexican nachos, these are not it. These were like identical to theater nachos. Some may love that acquired taste but it's not for me. Service was great. Friendly workers, they respond to their DM's for ordering your food on their Instagram page and the menu on their truck is detailed and simple. I'll probably get a taco next time but the nachos is definitely not something I can recommend.

    Crunchy taco and queso taco and consommé

    We love taco trucks. We came here because I saw other people's picture of a crunchy red taco from here and had to try myself. I like when the guy we ordered from understood me when I said no cebollas, and there was none in my order. THANK YOU SO MUCH. It gave the experience of a crunchy yet held its shape taco. The meat itself is ok, but we got big pieces of meat which was very satisfying, and it just came off the hot grill so it was piping steam yet we couldn't wait to dig in and eat it with the consomé. The soup itself is flavorful and I had an urge to eat it with bread or rice.

    Peter's crunchy red tacos is a truck right next to the Jefferson L stop. (Great place to grab a snack before a show at Brooklyn Mirage.) I tried the tacos and consome combo ($12). Very tasty, though Birria Landia is definitely superior. They accept both cash and Zelle, which is convenient.

    Hands down the best birria tacos! I definitely recommend the quesobirria dipped into consume which comes free with the quesobirria. Don't forget to add some hot sauce and lime juice on it. The staff is super friendly and the prices are decent ! Note that they only take cash or zelle so come prepare with cash ! There is outdoors seating also! My go to spot whenever I'm around the area !

    Peter's Crunchy Red Taco's - birria tacos and consommé. After, trying several birria spots I've come to the realization that while I enjoy the tacos (and these are fine,) I wish that they were a little more complex. I found the tacos themselves to be slightly bland but the consommé more than compensated. I'm really all about the consommé , and tacos/mulitas etc are a vessel for me to get to my main attraction the consommé. Spicy complex with meat bits. I ate two of the tacos at one of tables and took the remainder at the consommé home to finish. After I finished I was wishing I had picked up an extra broth to go. But I'll be back. It's a quick trip on the L train and they are right down the block.

    Quesobirria w/ consome - 8/10 The quesobirria was filled with meat and cheese. I wish it was slightly more flavorful but overall still pretty good. Their hot sauce was something else, I wish I had added more of it to my quesobirria. Tortabirria w/cosome - 8/10 I really wanted to try this cause it seemed interesting. While it still tasted as good as the quesobirria, I don't think I'm as big of a fan of the tortabirria because the bread gets too soggy from the consome. While it soaks up the consome better than tortilla, I'm not a huge fan of soggy bread. Not sure if the consome for this was different from the quesobirria, but this one tasted better.

    Ordered it on uber eats so it might've lost its quality there but... These were just okay to me! Meat wasn't as tender as I had hoped. The consume was pretty bland and didn't have extra meat pieces like others do. It kinda felt like the food was sitting out all day and was quickly reheated. Portions were a bit sparse and the tortilla was a bit hard. I know it's supposed to be "crunchy" which I would've loved but it felt past that point. I think this is a good place if you're in the area and it'll do the job but not sure if I'd go there twice!

    On my way to another place i spotted online, the truck appeared out of the blue with lots of parking and a single table and chair set. I knew I'd seen them here and there on IG, but being overshadowed by west coast birria posts and the more well-known vendors made it difficult to find them. There was virtually no line, walked right up and placed my order. The young guy suggested i get the quesabirria instead of the regular crunchy birria tacos and they did not disappoint! As soon as i decided, my order was underway! I think the guy cooking was the dad making the tacos to order. All I can say is 3 quesabirria hefty tacos with consomme for only $12? Yes, please. The delicious scent began to waft, because 2 or three guys popped and placed big orders. All three were Mexican and Central American. To me that the seal of approval i needed. My order was carefully packed and the guys politely waves goodbye. I hadn't eaten since the day before, so one taco had to get eaten immediately and let me tell you..... it was delicious! It made me think of the tender juicy birria I enjoyed in LA last year, and with the cheese and crunchy shell from the flat top oh so delicious. When I reached home, I reheated another one in the toaster oven, and it was even better! The lime, cucumbers and radishes were a great addition to the flavors. If you want a little spice, it comes with homemade hot sauce, I didn't need it at all. The flavors were there. I am not sure well this place isn't getting better reviews, it was pretty good. All I can say is I'm glad the other place i was looking for had moved, otherwise I would not have seen the truck at all. This was a crunch delicious detour. Thanks guys!

    Tortabirria

    Food was fresh and was ready in 5 minutes! Tortabirria was bland, Quesobirria was good but their consume was really good. Add the lime and 1/3 the red hot sauce to consume and thank me later! Dipping the Quesobirria into Consume (comes free with 3 quesobirria's!) with added hot sauce and lime was a home run for us. Just remember to ask for a spoon for consume (if you're into that sort of thing). They dont auto add spoons to bags with consume. They only do CASH or ZELLE. They offer outdoor seating. Staff is very friendly. Would definitely come back! Oh! They offer a side of chilled cucumber on the side which is very refreshing (and also very good dipped in the consume!) Oh! Forgot to mention. NO LINE. GOT MY FOOD IN UNDER 5 MINS FLAT. Staff moved very quick!

    BEST BIRRIA TACOS! Have you ever craved something..gone out of your way to get it and was let down? Well, Not me..Not today! These tacos hit the spot! Street Parking is accessible, no long lines and the Queso Birria Tacos were excellent. Packed full of tender, juicy meat. Tortilla was nice and crispy.. complimented with an amazing consomme.. they can do no wrong. Don't forget your hot sauce which adds some heat and even more flavor! I will take more and better pics next visit..

    Dry meat and barely any cheese.

    Dear Yelpers!!! Boy was I enamored when I found this place! First go around it was perfect and very crunchy! I got the quesobirria order. You can't order individual tacos it only comes in orders. Unfortunately each time I went it was a different experience, just kinda got worse and worse. The last time I couldn't hold my tongue. At $12 for 3 tacos and a consume soup, the birria meat was extremely dry, the cucumbers and limes that come with it were dry and the consume soup was full of grease and fat. So disappointed! If you go just know it's a legit truck on a corner and there are a couple tables on the sidewalk if you wanna sit. Hopefully you'll get what I had the first time! Roll that dice!

    The first time I ordered from them it was great. So decided too order from them again and was given the wrong stuff and the consomme tasted like some one poured water in it but it was late store was about to close so I was like ok I will give them a second chance. But today I ordered and was given the wrong order again and it's not like they have a huge menu they just seem to not be able to get it right at all and the soup was horrible it's like they have a new cook who just don't care. Wont be ordering feom them eva again i asked for nachos and this is what they sent tacos instead

    No more crunchy red tacos at Pete's crunchy red tacos

    Was this business sold? There are no crunchy red anything here and watch the price we had tacos mulitas and Quesabirria 12.00 15.00 and 13.00 do the math because they will add extra money.I corrected them and he acted like he gave Me a break This neighborhood is now full of food trucks plus Artichoke Basilles pizza Hot sauce used to be scorching and delicious now it's meh and for all 3 orders they put it in one container Consommé comes with each order and it's flavor profile is salt. Yes salt with some beef flavor and beef fat. A touch of lemon( no limes here) The Birria seasoning is very complex yet this truck left the seasoning elsewhere. Meat is tender and juicy ( there's the only star they earned) Staff do not speak English anymore at all. He asked if I wanted Verde and he meant cucumber. There was one slice of cucumber in each order as well as the smallest piece of lemon I gave ever seen in my life( thank goodness we also ask for extra lime. Peter's is famous from social media for crunchy red tacos Nothing we order we're dipped in the consommé then grilled crispy. The mulitas were crispy and lathered in grease yes grease. These less grease in a deep fryer then on everything we ordered Tacos not crispy not red Same with Quesabirria Peter must have took the money and ran. Until we know it's back to normal we will not go back there. I'll stick to 116th street in Harlem

    Food was overly greasy and flavorless. Sadly disappointed in something that isn't really that hard to make.

    Found myself craving Mexican (specifically, Birria) one Friday evening after a long work week…read more Nenes Taqueria hit the spot in every way I wanted. I went on a Friday evening around 9:30pm. It was still fairly busy inside, but it was mostly people grabbing to-go orders. After ordering I snagged a spot at the counter. There's extremely limited seating, so I wouldn't bank on eating at the restaurant when it's busy. Be prepared to take your food to go. I got the Nene's Deluxe, which comes with a taco, a mulita, and an empanada - all with Birria of course. It was all delicious. The mulita was at the bottom of the box and got completely soaked with Birria. It was extremely messy to eat. Get plenty of napkins. I also got a side of fries and nacho cheese, because it was a long week and I deserved it. They had a seasonal strawberry horchata as well. This was okay. I also think I might just not love horchata in general. This meal definitely hit the spot. The Birria and consommé were top notch. I would return in a heartbeat.

    I tried their Birria deluxe set that comes with a Birria taco, Birria empanada, Birria Mulita, and…read moreconsome for $16. That's a great deal! The Birria taco was good! The empanada was not like the usual closed off empanada, it was like open like a taco but instead of a taco shell, it was like the empanada dough. I didn't try the mulita yet but it was huge. Filling between two tortillas and I saw some guac filling as well. The consome was good! Not too salty - and has general pieces of meat inside the soup. The tacos were good but I felt like it lacked a little depth. I added some of the mango(?) it was a sweetish salsa and that gave it a nice little kick.

    I had thought I discovered a hidden gem when I tried their Lengua taco for the first time in park…read moreslope. Turns out they have several locations and are extremely popular. I felt dumbfounded! Nenes is something like the in n out of nyc. When my friend and I saw the storefront, the line was out the door. Many years ago back in LA, I had a mediocre cactus dish at a diner and never looked back. My friend went for a cactus mulita and I took a bite that turned into two more big ones. The cactus was crazy delicious with gobs of pull apart cheese, crispy browned edges, thick corn tortilla flavor, and spicy mango salsa, and pickled onion. When you come to nenes, you forget the line and wait. You transfigure into sheep and are happily a part of the herd. The only thing everyone is thinking are the minutes on the clock before annihilating the food.

    This place is quite affordable, as it was $13 for a pretty well-sized burrito. The burrito was…read moregood. However, I felt like the meat was a little dry and could have used a little more flavor, but overall it was solid. I do really like the sauce bar they have! The orange salsa was sweet and smoky and spicy, and the green salsa was very solid, and I liked the pickled radish as well. The service is very efficient, and the ambience inside feels very no-frills and authentic. Overall, I would recommend this place if you're looking for a good quick value meal.
