    Tacos and birria ramen!
    Kim L.

    Cute little taco spot in a strip mall in the Home Depot shopping center! We stopped in for dinner and got tacos and birria ramen, and we tried the hot Cheeto birria balls! The tacos were small, but mighty, packing a punch full of flavor - lots of meat inside! I love the texture of the hot Cheeto balls, a really nice crunch on the outside, and hot and spicy and meaty on the inside! Loved my birria ramen too, it was filling and full of meat! Very pricy though - 4 small tacos, 2 fountain drinks, 3 hot Cheeto balls, and a birria ramen was 60.00! It might better to come on 2.00 taco Tuesday! It was cute inside, and customer service was good!

    Loved the birria tacos from here. I did think the prices were a bit high but the food was delicious staff was friendly and the place was immaculate clean. Plenty of seating area inside and outside. If you're near the university try out the new place.

    3 birria tacos with consumé ($15)

    First time trying and I was sooo hungry. The cashier was friendly enough. It was pretty warm inside the restaurant. I know there are a lot of good reviews for this place but I found it to be just average. I think we make more flavorful birria at home. There was nothing off putting about my 3 birria tacos w/ consumé but they were just ok for $15. Not sure if I would go back.

    In the mood for a taco, I heard about the taco spot so I decided to come by today, ordered the queso birria taco, and my taco was lacking the queso, although the meat was flavorful and juicy, I was really looking forward to the cheesy taco, also had a Carne Asada taco which the meat didn't have too much flavor. It wasn't nasty, but it wasn't the best. I may return again to try something else, but that might be a while before I return. Looking into some other taco spots first.

    Chicken taco

    This was the worst food spot I've went too. I ordered birria nachos and they had the smallest amount of meat. Basically ate a few chips with meat and that was it. Still have a whole plate of chips. I also ordered my family food. The birria balls was all rice. Like 1 strip of birria . I wish I can take back my $7 tip. The birria tacos had little to no meat. And the chicken taco you can just look at it and be disgusted. My daughter did not touch it. Asked for a refund and was met with attitude and no help. The time i went in was from 5:40 - 6:15 p.m 4/12/2026. My order was 3 orders of quesabirra tacos. 1 birria nacho, 1 order of birria balls, 1 chicken taco. I spent $63 plus my seven dollar tip. Im really upset and would appreciate if someone reached out to me as soon as possible because when I asked for help and addressed the problems I was met with attitude and Basically ignored.

    Yelp is right again! Looked up best birria Tacos and this new spot.. the Taco spot came up! ha! Fast food looking but made to order fresh! Selling the BEST birria consumme dipping sauce I have ever had and generous size of it, perfect amount. My hubby had a Mexican Bowl and we had horchata, which was so tasty and perfect to wash down the 3 tacos. They also sell the Mexican Ramen (like you see in grocery stores if you like) Trendy place, Kind service and seriously delicious lunch!

    Taste good enough for street tacos but it weren't juicy enough from all meats.... Grill tasting was alright!! services we're good enough... since the foods were more dry even tasted ok... I've the classic coke glass bottle! The whole meal was fast enough but I will consider more different places for tacos shop if more choices available...

    3 birria tacos and consume
    Jenn B.

    Do not miss out on the chance for some of the best birria tacos you'll be lucky to have! The consume is delicate and flavorful, the tacos do not skimp on meat or cheese and nothing is overly greasy. When the girl behind the counter asks if you want salsa, please say yes. Also, please be aware that the red salcita is spicy! I'm going to be going back soon for the ramen & birria.

    This is a pretty aesthetically pleasing place, from the pictures online, to inside decor, and the visually appealing menu. I struggled to decide what to order because it allllll looked so good. I ended up ordering 2 street tacos and the taco/fry combo that came with 2 tacos and a side of fries for $11.29. They have 5 options in meat and I chose the birria based on their picture on Yelp that looked delicious.. looking further at that picture while waiting for my food, I'm not sure it's their picture, which I felt was misleading. But I'm hoping I'm wrong and it is theirs. Anyway i ordered my food to go but ate a bit before I left. It came with a red and green salsa, both of which were okay. My street tacos fine, no complaint, but no praise either. The birria were pretty yummy and cheesy. I was expecting to be able to dip them but maybe I dont really understand what birria is lol? Anyway all in all the experience was good and staff was friendly, HOWEVER I'm not sure it's the best value...I didn't not feel that those 2 tacos and fries were worth $12.. it was more fries than anything and the tacos of course were pretty small.

    First time trying this place, and it didn't disappoint. Staff was very friendly, and they were able to fulfill my ridiculous burrito order. Was worth every penny.

    If you order birria tacos they charge extra for the sauce. Birria isn't birria unless it comes with sauce. Ridiculous.

    Good birria! But I was surprised to get a quesadilla instead of an actual pizza with birria on it.

Honestly, I wish I could give Yaquesita a little more, maybe half a star more, because this place definitely has potential. Their flavors are good, but compared to similar restaurants the menu feels a bit overpriced. For a party of three we ended up paying around $100, which felt like a bit much for what we got. The restaurant itself is pretty small with only about 3-4 tables inside, but the patio is a decent size and has a cute vibe. It's actually a nice option on cooler days if you don't mind sitting outside. Some items were better than others. The wet-style burrito was delicious and definitely a highlight. The quesabirrias were good, however the birria felt more like fancier shredded beef. It was missing that rich, spicy, slightly acidic, earthy flavor that usually sets birria apart from barbacoa or traditional shredded beef dishes. The bowl was just okay and had lots of lettuce. It felt more like a salad with a bit of meat, rice, and beans. Honestly, Chipotle does bowls better, and that says a lot considering the price. The nachos were good, but I've had better. Seis Kitchen has amazing nachos to share. That said, it's definitely a place I'd come back to mainly out of convenience, not because one particular item on the menu won my heart. I really do hope they continue refining the menu because the flavors are there and this place could easily become a standout spot. Personally I just think at the total price of my ticket other restaurants should not even have room in my mind during my meal. If you're in the area and looking for a safe bet where everyone will probably find something they like, it's worth giving them a try.

I was raised in a very conservative food pallet home like many Americans so trying new items like cabeza tacos is a very foreign choice in cuisine. Let me just say I am on a new adventure of respecting restaurants that honor the entire animal by properly knowing how to prepare each and every inch into a world class experience. These cabeza tacos did not disappoint! It was extremely buttery and melted in your mouth! If you do one thing this year, you owe it to yourself to put this place on your 3rd spot routine. The ambiance is so beautiful in this space too!

Tender Juanito's had some flavor, but it was VERY dry and tough and had far too much grisle. I just didn't like it at all. I had to force my way through it it was so dry, I dislike dry meat. I want to try a different meat, maybe it'll gain a star there, but for the Carne Asada? Hard pass. The service wasn't great either.
