    Pastor Quesadilla
    Liz S.

    Was really craving tacos and this place did not disappoint! We also had the Birria tacos, made with goat and OMG so yummy! My pic of them didn't save but trust me you won't be disappointed. The Cebaza was tender and delicious as well. They give you red and green sauce and the green was by far our favorite, adds just the perfect flavor. We brought home the Pastor quesadilla, so can't wait to try it! The gentlemen that work there are very friendly and helpful with deciding what to try. We ate inside "The Bus" and it has a cool vibe, they did a good job providing a few booths so you can eat immediately and not have to eat in your car. We'll definitely be back and try the Torta's and Burgers.

    Late review. Our order: pineapple marinated pastor, cabeza, lamb soup (don't recall the name, not pictured) and octopus fries (made with sausages). We arrived late to Albuquerque. At the time, most businesses closed at 10pm. This was one of the only restaurants that was serving until 11:30pm and we arrived shy of 11:15pm. Truly the best tacos I've ever had. TacoBus made me understand for the first time what a craving for tacos feels like. Could not stop gobbling down the food even though my mouth was on fire from the (green, my preference) chilies. My absolute favorite was the lamb soup. The best cure to frigid highland winds: tender meat, tang and spice rolled in a comfy blanket wrapped around your tummy. Have been searching for something similar since we got back to the Bay Area and still haven't found it. TacoBus set the tone for the rest of our adventures with New Mexican cuisine and it was definitely a highlight of our trip. Unfortunately, we didn't get to dine inside, would have been cool! It is situated in a mildly sketchy neighborhood, they give you a buzzer after you order and you can wait in your car.

    We looked up taco places in Albuquerque and came across TacoBus, decided to check it out and liked it! The food was made relatively quickly and tasted good! I got half asada and half pastor, I feel like the tacos could have had a little more filling but overall I was happy with it!

    Asada Tacos

    Asada Tacos 10/10 salsa is spicy an just the right amount of asada really good would recommend again

    Ive driven past this bus several times and finally decided to try after reading raving reviews. Pretty spot-on with 5-stars, for the quality and price. This is traditional Mexican NOT New Mexican cuisine. We tried the Fuego Burger, asada quesadillas, asada tacos, al pastor tacos, and french fries. Our favorites were the fuego burger, quesadillas, and fries. Be warned, the fuego burger lives up to its name, IT IS HOT!!!! The bus has been there for approx. 3.5 years, family-owned by family from Guadalajara, MX, so pretty damn authentic!

I must say, it was significantly better to my taste The pickles were gone, but there was still this unusual taste that I really couldn't place. It tasted almost like pickles in the background, but I'm not sure what it was. Suffice to say, the burger was very good. Was it the best burger I've ever had? No. Sadly, that honor goes to Pete's Frites, and he hung it up after ruining all of us who got to try his burger masterpieces before disappearing. But I digress. No Mames treated me like I mattered. They took my opinions and wishes seriously. I am very impressed. The owner and his wife genuinely wanted me to enjoy my experience with their food, and I must say I did. Their tireless efforts to make me a happy customer are very rare, and they should be commended. I had fries this time, and they are the thin, more crispy variety, which are my favorite. I also received a Serrano sauce and a flavored oil "sauce," which I was told they serve with their chicharrones, I believe. I kinda liked it with the fries. I'm upping the rating to 5 stars, because for me, the food is a very strong 4 stars, but their customer service and care for their craft makes it an easy 5 stars. Go pay this place a visit and let them know what you think of their food. They actually listen and will make adjustments. That's a customer's dream.

It is so nice that they are at the food truck park so there are consistent hours and location. My burger was AMAZING. I opted for the classic smash and first bite in I was already in love. It is flavorful, perfectly balanced, the ingredients taste fresh, and that sauce was bomb. As a side I vouched to add some loaded fries. They were delicious but in the future I think ill vouch for the normal fries. Crispy, thin fries are my favorite and the chorizo liquid made the ones on top soft but I still really enjoyed them. I *have* to go back and try every thing on their menu. Also, shootout to the people working. They were really friendly and got my burger out quickly (which I really appreciated because I went when it was super windy).

The ambiance was solid, with local artwork and pottery throughout the restaurant. While we were able to get seats immediately, the service was unacceptable. Gobble This had only one chef and one server, which meant that we had to wait 40 minutes for our food even though the restaurant was not crowded. If you are a restaurant in a major tourist area on a weekend, you cannot have just one chef and server for your guests. I got the chicken tacos, which were fine. However, they were not worth the high cost ($25) or the long wait. My wife got a pupusa platter with rice and beans, which cost $20. It came with one medium-sized pupusa and a small amount of rice and beans. This exact dish would cost less than half that amount in a big city. Even accounting for the tourist area higher costs, this was outrageous. There is far better Latin American and New Mexican cuisine in Albuquerque with better portions at more affordable prices; I would go elsewhere for that experience.

I'm so glad I did. I came near closing, but service was still awesome. The lady behind the counter was super patient with me as I scanned the menu and tried to figure out what I wanted to order. I was dinner so I opted for a Birria burrito, then added on a Birria taco and a carne asada taco. There were two people ahead of me so my food was a little slow to come but I tell ya: it was worth the wait. My picture doesn't really do this justice. The burrito is fucking huge. One of the biggest I've ever had. I wish I knew how big it was ahead of time, cause I would not have ordered the tacos. Or maybe I would have cause the tacos were chonky and so damned good too. Going back to the birria burrito.. wow. It was packed full of birria with some rice and beans. The ratio is AMAZING for us meat lovers. I could only stomach half the burrito, plus the two tacos. Was able to save the other half for lunch tomorrow. Still super duper tasty. The birria was very very juicy and tender flavorful. Lord, mouth is watering just thinking about it. The other amazing part? The PRICE. That giant birria burrito was $11.99. I defy you to find a place with a better price to portion ratio than this. Especially in this economy. I'm definitely coming back, cause apparently the other burritos are even BIGGER according to the staff. Price, taste, quantity. Can't be beat. You'd be doing yourself a disservice if you skip this spot. Or maybe skip it, so they don't get overhyped and jack up their prices. (yeah, I'm a little selfish XD)

I had a pulled pork sandwich (plus a bit of brisket and the 2 sides that I couldn't resist trying to save for my next meal) and thought the meat was smokey, jiving and so scrumptious...and this is coming from someone who normally doesn't eat so much meat like myself! Overall, I really like that Theo seems passionate about making the food that he serves. Plus, it doesn't hurt that this bbq type of food tastes so good..and is so rare to find ABQ, too.

Give him a call to get the "who, what, when, where, why, & how" for his location on any given day. However, I must say that Nomad BBQ is still providing *excellent* Texas style BBQ of exceptional tastiness at very economical prices, given the high quality of the food. If you see their truck anywhere around town, stop in, chow down, and smile ... smile ... smile ... at all the wondrous gustatorial nirvana you've just indulged in. Hands down, killer good BBQ! Everything I said in my previous review still stands.
