    Birria Tacos
    Ellie B.

    Food truck review: recently stopped by here on my lunch break to meet up with a friend and we both loved our tacos! She dubbed her chicken tinga tacos the best she's had since moving here, and the birria I had was delicious as well. Food came out fresh and hot! Would definitely stop by this food truck again.

    Found this lovely gem while meeting with some colleagues at Starbucks. Ordered two tacos, one with carnitas and one with pork. For as busy as the was, they had our food ready in a few minutes. Both tacos were tasty, but my favorite was the one with the carnitas. The spicy sauce on the side was a game changer for me. I love spicy foods, adding the sauce to the tacos took them to a whole new level of awesomeness.

    How is it that I can find things like Cachete, Alambre and Birria in the Midwest on a food truck by accident (I'm doing network field testing just 80 ft from it), but not while going out of my way to find something different while living in LA for 22 years (OK, MAYBE Birria at one restaurant)?!? The food was very good too, but I didn't think to take a pic of the food , but just the side of the food truck.

    They have some pretty good Barria Tacos, they're a bit pricey, but hot and crunchy. They were representing with a food truck at the Juneteenth concert at Hook and Ladder.

    Best tacos that I have found. The truck is typically in the Falls Liquor parking lot in the evenings. Get the cheek taco!

    Would recommend takeout. The Barbacoa burrito was delicious. The chips were also phenomenal. Definitely will be ordering from here again.

    The best tacos I have ever had! Great authentic Mexican food, not limited to just tacos. Good portions for a fair price.

    Orale will definitely become one of my new go-to spots!…read more I got the swimming burrito with carne asada and my partner got the swimming burrito with carnitas. Both were good, I would definitely recommend the carne asada. We also got chips and guac. The guacamole had a strong lime taste and was so unbelievably delicious, I would go back just for the guac. There is a small parking lot in front of the restaurant and a ton of street parking. The staff were very nice and helpful. We ordered at the kiosk and they brought our food to our table. It looked like the bartender also waits on the tables in the back. There's a section of the restaurant that's a bit loud, but we easily found a spot to sit in a quieter area.

    The food is pretty decent. I lived in Querétaro, Mexico, and spent 8 years in Phoenix, so I know…read morethe difference between authentic and Americanized Mexican food; this is firmly the latter. It's a bit whitewashed and leans more Cal-Mex than anything you'd find in Mexico, but I'm not complaining. I love a good California burrito and asada fries, so this style has its place (especially in Minnesota). Service can be slow. It took us about an hour to get two burritos yesterday and the restaurant didn't look busy. Maybe they were just short staffed. My main issue is the salsa. They limit you to one packet per person, and it's not the slightest bit spicy. And where are the limes? This place desperately needs a salsa bar with real options and some heat. Bump up the salsa selection and stop rationing it, and this would be a solid spot. For now, I'll keep getting this to go and buying my own salsa and limes.

    Everything was delicious here! My sis was recently in town so had the great excuse to eat somewhere…read moreI've been meaning to try. My preference is usually to go out for Asian food but heard so many good things about this place that I convinced my sis to try it with me and wow, left feeling impressed and very full. What we ordered: - Started w/ some non alcoholic drinks. I love horchata so had to get that & enjoyed it. - Corn bread w/ caviar - yum & great way to start - Seared scallops - so good - Charred eggplant tostada - loved this & a must-get - Shrimp tacos - I was worried that the tempura would just make it taste like fried but it didn't, it's really light. I liked these but could of used some saucy/ juicy component that feels more satisfying w/ tacos - Carne Asada - was not bad but just kind of tasted like meat I could get other places - Corn elote - it's what u expect but it was tasty & nice to have another veggie - Churro dessert - perfect way to end our meal. This is a must-get even if u are full! Overall the atmosphere is great. The server was very friendly and it never felt like we were waiting a long time for anything. The place feels but open & natural accents. It was def busy in here & it felet like we were close to some tables but it still felt comfortable to enjoy the meal while catching up w/ my sis. I will def be back to try other items!

    We booked reservations for this place for a work dinner and I was eagerly waiting to try it out…read more We ended up getting here a bit early and tried some amazing cocktails. I tried a cocktail that the bartender recommended and wow did it pack some flavor. We wanted to try all the tostadas and flavor, so we ordered the watermelon salad, beef toungue tostada, the scallops and the Cacio e Pepe tacos and man were we buzzing from all the flavors. We were all very full, but we had to try the churro dessert. I will say this place is very much captivating with decor, the flavors and the service. It's a must try if you're a foodie.
