    Quesabirria
    Marnie A.

    Amazing service, so friendly. And the food was the bomb. We had the Quesabirria and tacos. The birria was definitely one of the best we have had outside of home made and the carnitas were top notch. This is a must do.

    Our first stop in Seattle after leaving the airport happened to be this rinky dink gas station and taco truck. After parusing the menu, mostly a placard on the truck it seemed that the quesa Birria tacos seemed tasty just by the picture. We got some chips, guacamole, salsa, and some other dishes for the kids. I will absolutely say the quesabirria stole the show. It was the first time I ever heard of this dish and I've been on a mission to order it as many place as possible back home in the north east. If my memory serves me correct it seems like these were shredded beef tacos with cheese fried on the griddle with cheese crisped on the outside. It's a little more expensive than the other items as it comes with a beef broth consume. The broth was amazing as an addition dip but was also great to lap down as a soup after we ate the taco. It kept me nice and warm on the rainy 50 degree rainy day.

    On any other occasion I would have just driven by but I actually came to the area just for this place and it is worth the stop. Honestly, you're missing out if you don't try it. The reviews were spot on. It's fresh, authentic, friendly service, made to order so very hot and perfect to eat there or take back home or to the office and still have a hot meal. The menu selection is pretty impressive. I ordered Birria ramen, three quesa birria (but only received two), mulitas, and large rice and beans. The ramen was way more than I expected and super filling. My family enjoyed the birria and mulitas with rice and beans and thoroughly enjoyed them. No leftovers or waste ... or ability to get the pics hahaha so I'd say it was a hit. Even with the one missing item, I definitely recommend!

    They don't skimp on the meat like many places!

    There's a reason why this place has amazing reviews! This truck has the BEST quesabirria tacos and consome that I've had yet! The consome broth has great depth of flavor. You can tell they cook it for a while. I really appreciate that you get chucks of tender meat in the consome unlike most places. This is one of the few places I've been to that doesn't skimp on the meat in the taco. The service was great! And it was very clean. There's an add-on dining area if you want to "dine-in". Every time I stop by, my tacos never make it home. These tacos have to be eaten hot while still crunchy. This past summer they offered food for students which I thought was an amazing act of community service. The owner is a great person and fun to chat with.

    El Patron had more variety on their menu than the average taco truck. Super generous on the meats and serving up birria, lengua, carne asada, and more. Some items like Consume are weekends only! Props to the 1 guy working the truck alone. Get both sauces to add some heat!

    Wow this place is absolutely Delicious!! I'm from Los Angeles and I know good Mexican food and not sorry to admit I have high standards... I had the quesabirria tacos with consommé... all I can say is wow it transported me back to east la taco trucks in the best way. I never thought I'd find such a hidden treasure in a gas station but this place is so so good do yourself a favor and try the birria here it was so soft and tender, and dripping with flavor! I cannot wait for another excuse to come back here and try more things. Happy eating mi amigos this place is worth the drive and the people working there couldn't be nicer

    Amazing tacos!! Possibly the best I've ever had. The quesabirria - awesome, definitely get it. The owner is super sweet and lets your try the different meats and drinks. Always a rotating selection of fresh juice depending on what fruit is available - this week was cantaloupe . Come here, don't miss out!

    I'd give this place 10 if I could. It's everything a taco truck should be. Thought twice about going when I saw it was in a gas stations parking lot. Glad I went in. Delicioso

    The menu!

    My favorite thing to get are the mulitas (steak)!! It comes in two. They are so crispy and yummy. I came here for the first time on the weekend and noticed they added guacamole and tomatoes inside which I haven't had before when ordering on the weekday - loved it!! I finally had the chance to try the birria tacos with the consomme (soup) and it was delicious as well. A couple of the tacos had way too much cheese for me, but I just picked it out. The tacos were full of meat, crispy, and the soup was tasty and hot. My other favorite thing I like to order here are the basic carne asada tacos. Again, I appreciate that they make the tortillas crispy! The staff are also super nice here. I'm happy they've been open through COVID.

    I like this place ! Been there the last 2 days to pick up lunch for work. Located in the chevron parking lot. Nice service and a place to dine if you have time. Asada is seasoned to perfection. I may pull up Tomorrow for lunch too. Good nachos too. Definitely recommend.

    Their queso birria is insanely good! They use good stock that is seasoned perfectly unlike the places that use plain boring beef consume.

    I finally made it to Birrieria Tijuana and WOW... I'm honestly mad I didn't come sooner…read more The birria caldo was absolutely amazing - rich, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned with a homemade taste that you just can't fake. You can tell it's made with love and tradition. The meat was tender, juicy, and soaked up all that deep, savory broth in the best way possible. On top of that, the customer service was super friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. It really felt like one of those hidden gems where the food AND the people both stand out. If you're anywhere near Burien and craving birria. don't think twice. This place is it I can't wait to try more items on their extensive menu! They also have a dessert place adjacent.

    This spot feels like a family-run place with a lot of regulars, which always adds to the charm…read more It's definitely not fancy, but you know exactly what you're getting when you walk in--solid, authentic Mexican food in a casual setting. The service was great--everyone we interacted with was friendly and welcoming. The menu is pretty extensive, especially when it comes to tacos, so there are plenty of options to choose from. I tried the asada, carnitas, birria, and adobada tacos. All were decent, with the birria being my favorite. The other meats weren't bad by any means, but they were a bit on the drier side compared to some other taco spots I've been to. The rice and beans were pretty standard--exactly what you'd expect, nothing particularly standout. One thing I really liked, though, was the self-serve salsa bar. It's always a plus being able to customize your flavors. One thing to note is that you do need to bus your own table, but considering the price and portion sizes, it feels fair and worth it. Overall, a solid spot for a casual meal. I'll definitely be exploring more of this area of Renton--there seem to be a ton of authentic Mexican restaurants nearby. We went late at night, so options were a bit limited at the time, but this was a good find.

    Got a $9 quesadilla - spicy pork (opted for no tomatoes). It comes with lettuce, avocado,…read morejalapeños, and radish. Such a good value and delicious! Perfectly cheesy, loaded with meat, and fresh avocados. Would definitely come back for this. 5 stars for me. I've been here multiple times for tacos and they haven't impressed me. I find the meat to be overly dry (especially the steak) even after I try to load it up with salsa. 3 star tacos. Their sauce and toppings bar has a lot of options which I appreciate. Food comes out fairly quickly after you order. Lots of seating inside. Making this place convenient to grab a quick bite and affordable!! I wouldn't come back if I'm craving tacos, but definitely willing to try other dishes.
