    VEGAN CHURRO TEACAKE
    Tahirah A.

    The Birria Queen will have you dreaming about their food. Tasty, flavorful, seasoned, perfect amount of spicy and I could go on. It's a food truck nice waiting areas with games to keep you busy. The people are friendly and I'm salivating thinking about how good the taco and ramen were. I'm vegan and the texture of the jackfruit was meaty, it was juicy and full of flavor. Really cute location tucked back from the street and seating available if you care to eat there. If you haven't tried make sure you stop by while you're in Houston.

    Sampler CHICKEN QUESADILLA, shrimp birria taco and chicken birria taco
    Noni C.

    My sister in law highly recommended this food truck so we gave it a try. After reading reviews, we tried the sampler that came with 2 birria tacos (we chose shrimp and chicken), quesadilla (we chose chicken) and a grilled cheese sandwich (we chose beef) for my husband, son and I to share. I added 2 beef birria tacos. Let's start with the birria tacos. The beef was the star of the show. The beef is seasoned to perfection as well as the dipping sauce. The taco was delicious by itself and then you add the sauce/consommé...perfection. I personally preferred the green sauce as it had a bit of spice to it which was a nice flavor addition. The shrimp taco was ok but wasn't as flavorful as the Beef. Same for the chicken. Good but not as flavorful. The grilled cheese with beef...so good! Dipped that in the consommé as well. Quesadilla was good too. I just should've chose beef instead of chicken but wanted to try different proteins. The beef tacos were so good, my husband went and ordered 3 more as well as the ramen...beef of course. The ramen was super flavorful as well. I did wish it had more sauce/consomme but I just added what we had leftover from our tacos. I'd definitely order the ramen and beef tacos again. I'd order the beef grilled cheese too lol. We also got the guava lemonade. It was ok but not sweet enough for me, but refreshing. We'll definitely be back!

    I'm not gonna hold ya'll but this birria slaps! Seriously, I didn't wanna even review bc ya'll might make the lines longer! I literally crave these tacos on a weekly basis. I order on the app before going to save myself some wait time. My go to order is the chicken birria tacos and nobody makes them better than the queen!

    This is my second time here pulling up on THE BIRRIA QUEEN. She always polite and the food is hot and ohhhh sooooo good!!!! I dod the mix and chose two vegan birria and two shrimp. The vegan condiments just as good as the shrimp. I was dipping almost every bite. Flavor is their not salty or over spicy just a great blend I will be making this a regular stop. The menu also has Elotes and Quesadilla and glass bottle soda.

    Came here off the recommendation of a friend and enjoyed it. Although it's just a food truck, it definitely packed some good food. I had the beef quesadilla and it was a good size. If I'm ever in the area I would go back to try some more.

    I've heard a lot about the Birria Queen and have always been unable to make it. But today I was able to make it. I missed the location a couple of times but finally found it. I got there with about forty minutes before closing. I ordered the chicken quesadilla birria and the chicken ramen. My total was about $25 for both. Let's start with the quesadilla. They were good but nothing that really stood out. My ramen though. Still piping hot after being left out. It was delicious and so filling. My only gripe is I should've asked for no onions cause they were over powering. Overall I would definitely go back to try the different ramen they have.

    Vegan tacos

    Listen y'all... these tacos are IT! I grabbed the vegan tacos and babyyyy the way they season that jackfruit? Chef's kiss Pure heaven. Needless to say, they didn't even make it home. And don't get me started on that sauce--it's STRAIGHT FIRE. Big shoutout to Crystal, you did your thing! So proud of you!

    Quesabirrias
    Raul J.

    One of those places that you might underestimate due to the advertising and hype but these were REALLY good birria quesadillas. Are they the most authentic? Probably not. Are they overly stuffed? Also no. But they're super tasty and their pressure sauce is great and even the consomé is very flavorful. They have a nice crunch and simplicity that makes it all work and probably makes them easier to make. With how much hype this place has, efficiency is key so I can't be mad at the size or simplicity. Pretty competitively priced compared to other popular birria spots in town, too.

    The Queen's Mix (I selected Beef, Chicken, Shrimp & Vegan which is jackfruit) with  Watermelon Guava Limeade.

    The best birria around! The flavors, the sauces, the customer service, the environment, everything was a vibe! Definitely will be returning! My friend had the ramen & she loved it too.

    Amazing food truck! Their birria is on par with the best places in the city! Be sure to check them out. They are in a makeshift parking lot with a bunch of other food trucks. Great spot to please everyone! Pro tip: also a great spot for Vegans. Their vegan birria also did not disappoint.

    The ambiance was great far a nice cool day. There ample outdoor seating and several tables with umbrellas. There are also games you can play like corn hole, and yard connect 4. The service was good. The young lady working in the trailer was friendly. She asked if it was our first time eating there (we said yes) and thanked us for trying out Birria Queen. The food came out quick and hot just the way I like it. We tried the beef quesadilla and that came out with a side of green salsa and consume. This was very delicious. The cheese was melted and the ratio of beef to cheese was just right. We dipped this in both sauces and it was amazing. The second plate was the choose 4. This option was very nice because it gave us the chance to try 2 different types of tacos. The first on I tried was the beef quesabirria. Like the quesadilla the ratio of meat and cheese was perfect and the flavor of the beef was savory and melted in your mouth. When you paired this with the green salsa and the consume it was fireworks. The chicken was equally as good. We finished this with the watermelon guava limeade. This was a great way to finish the meal. The only thing that would have made the limeade better was a hint of mint, but it was definitely a must when eating at Birria Queen. Overall I would highly recommend eating at Birria Queen. We will definitely be back.

Finding authentic TJ flavor in Texas (not Tex-Mex) was a welcome surprise! Our carne asada was grilled al carbón and you could taste the char! Juicy carne full of flavor, thin but strong and tasty tortillas (they really held everything together well), perfect chunky guac (not too fancy or full of fillers--IYKYK), and a variety of delicious salsas and hot sauces! An added bonus was the complimentary chicharrones! I'll take those over tortilla chips any day! The dining room isn't very big, but it's clean and has good a/c....there's an outdoor patio as well.

Limited indoor seating, and since it gets busy we usually order to go. When I did dine in it was nice experience, feels authentic like eating a local spot in Mexico. You have the Mexican cokes available, the style of tacos has a big scoop of guac which makes them a bit unique compared to other spots that charge extra for guac. Their tacos are big too! Not the mini small taco tortillas you get in a food truck. These are big tacos so getting 2 is enough for me. I've tried their Asado tacos and their quesadillas and their quesabirrias all 10/10.

I think I ordered mozzarella sticks, but really only drinks. I was discriminated against by the general manager whoever the manager is there, I'm a black female. I was alone. I was by myself. This manager picked up the phone to call the cops on me because of his mistake. I ordered two drinks instead of three and I disputed that and he ended up telling me to get out of his restaurant and he picked up the phone to call the police keep in mind. I'm a single female I'm by myself I don't know anything about Texas nothing and I'm talking to a real human but it was very inhumane. I will put the address down. I think they only have two locations. I will put the address down here. I will also get on my TikTok and my Facebook where I have a large following and I will tell everyone I know about this place. It's tucked off in Houston Texas somewhere I'm here for work. I decide to go to a friendly bar, which I thought it was I went there and dined there I paid for my food I tipped and then on my way home. I was like that was a cool place. Let me go back so I went back to order the same drink that I ordered, but then insert the manager his name is Michael I think but I'm gonna put the address here and the phone number please don't patronize these people until you know that they've done right by other people. I didn't even get a chance to taste the food before they were trying to call the police on me. I'm 115 pound 5 foot black girl I was by myself and then he turned the customers against me because one customer was like, yeah get the fuck out like he said. I will continue to post this until I've heard back from this place from a general manager or somebody other than the manager of the restaurant. I will continue to post this. It's not right. It was a Hispanic male. The manager you chose to represent your brand but could not represent it. I try to support local businesses but this type of service is uncalled for. I am at a conference and let all the patrons that were about to meet me there what happened. Management please do better. I called you guys, no answer and the run around about the manager's name at this location. Very rude and called the cops!! Please save your money. It's so many restaurants around don't go here unless they change the management. I still would be sus tho. They are tucked in the back so word of mouth is really all they got. As a GM of an establishment myself, this was totally uncalled for. An $8 that I would have gladly payed for because I had just come in there hours before with no issues. I paid and tipped well and was thinking this place is nice let me go back and was in for an awful treat. I don't want anybody no matter who they are experiencing what I experienced last night on September 27th 2026 9pm on or about. I am an influencer we come to different places so we can have good food and post positive things about them, but I can't say the same for this restaurant no matter what your orientation is this place will discriminate against you. I went the night before to show my team around because the restaurant was highly recommended. 1805 W 18th St Houston, TX 77008 United States The manger on duty at 9pm Pimlico Pub HEI took unauthorized amount on my credit card.

    Alert: Cash Only…read more I've passed this taco truck countless times and almost always seen a line stretching from the window. There's even a security guard on site, which only adds to the impression that this place is fire. So when I happened to drive by on a 100-degree afternoon and found no line, I took it as a sign to finally give it a try. The small parking lot adjacent to the truck was nearly empty, except for a few other patrons who probably had the same idea. Ordering was simple and to the point. The menu keeps things straightforward: a selection of meats served as tacos or plates with a handful of sides. I ordered two barbacoa tacos with salsa verde. Less than two minutes after placing my order, they were in my hands. Fast service on a scorching day is always appreciated. With no seating available, I retreated to the comfort of my car to eat. Based on the amount of grease packed into these tacos, I would recommend doing the same. Eating them while standing could end with your shirt becoming an unintended side dish. One thing to note: don't count on a generous napkin supply. I realized after returning to my car that none were included. Consider keeping a few emergency fast-food napkins in your glove compartment. Those leftover Taco Bell napkins may finally fulfill their destiny. The barbacoa was flavorful, the salsa verde complemented it well, and overall, the tacos were overall tasty. That said, I left somewhat underwhelmed considering the crowds I routinely see gathered here during lunch and dinner hours. Perhaps I'm missing the standout item that keeps customers lining up daily. Even so, if you happen to have cash in your pocket and find yourself craving authentic tacos, this truck is certainly worth a stop.
