    Quesatacos (1 birria & 1 asada)
    Gillian A.

    Mmm quesotacos. Crispy, cheesy goodness. I got one birria quesotaco and one asada quesotaco. I was a bit disappointed with the birria one because I thought the meat would be soaked with delicious consome, but it's straight carnitas-style beef. I much preferred the carne asada quesotaco. Total flavor bomb. Speaking of consome, you must eat the quesotacos with it!! For those who aren't in the know, it's a very flavorful broth (if done right of course.....this place does get it right). A cup of it is complimentary if you buy 4+ tacos. Otherwise, it's $2. Most people dip their quesotacos straight into the consome, but what I like to do is take a bite of the quesotaco and chase it with a sip of consome. Super delicousness (and less messy). Definitely check this taco truck out especially if you want to change it up a bit in terms of getting something else than typical street tacos! *Cash only; address here is accurate (iPull-Upull Auto Parts parking lot)

    Exceptional food, A+ customer service, and located in a good area with good ambiance. We loved our order and look forward to returning for more good food!

    Birria tacos

    Best birria tacos I've had here in Sacramento yet! Food truck found on side street off Florin Rd. Simple menu but good quality food. My husband is not one to really voice his opinion when I bring home food from somewhere different. He, too, said they were the best tacos he's had...EVER! We'll definitely be revisiting soon.

    Food was bomb I ordered a chicken quesadilla and the 4 birria taco special ... first off the quesadilla was an entire meal in itself it was huge and packed with so much meat and cheese and the tacos?? The tacos were thick had lots of meat and very juicy 100/10 would recommend

    Bad picture...but located in upull upull parking lot. Corner of Gerber & Stockton blvd

    Wow! Best taco truck I've ever experienced. Great food, big portions, low prices, friendly service, and the order came out quickly. - What more could you want? The birria quesa tacos and birria quesadilla were absolutely delicious. Even better than I've had at fancy sit down restaurants like Maya's or Mayahuel in DT sac. I was also very impressed with their pastor taco. I never order pasor because most places make it super tough and chewy, but here it was so juicy and tender! If you're in the South Sac area, they are parked at the uPull-iPull parking lot. Corner of Gerber Rd & Stockton blvd. A true hidden gem. Cheers!

    We were looking at the street food app and found The12Shack. It was so good. The service was very fast. They will customize orders. The smoothies were very good and when they say large they mean large. I got the California burrito and my husband got the Asada fires. The guacamole on the fries was a little spice. The California burrito was very big I could only eat half. Will defiantly go back again.

    Small amount of reviews?!I have to review this spot. Check out their IG @the_12_shack for location and times. We also contact them through DMs for any catering orders/questions. Amazing customer service. My sister and I have been going here for catering since we found them because tacos are easy to serve and they're delicious! If you haven't had birria tacos well heads up that they are slightly oily because they consists of the braised meat inside a corn tortilla that's been pan-fried in the fat that sits at the top of the birria. The tacos are amazing by its self,but go ahead and ask about a bowl of consume on the side for you to dip your tacos into. Best birria tacos ever!They're flavorful and filling. Packed with so much flavor.

    Asada Tacos with cilantro, red onions and lime. No roasted chili pepper.

    Asada Tacos - Great portions Consome with Birria - okay Quesadilla with Birria - Fire Only complaint I had was the consome was given to me warm and not scolding hot. The register girl is cute too.

    Carne Asada Tacos
    Erika T.

    First time here! I ordered 2 small carne asada tacos and it was great! along with the customer service! It was very quick and only took 5 - 7 mins for 4 orders. I would say the tacos were more on the juicy side than the dry side. Although, the only reason why it was juicy was due to the splash of lime. I would love to come back if it was closer to where I live, but it was worth the drive!

At this point it feels like bait and switch -- why put it on the menu if you never have it? The low rating is mainly for the young lady at the register. She was rude, spent the whole time whispering to a guy who works there and laughing while looking at me. Felt disrespected as a customer. Found Beto's down the street instead. Decent food, decent prices, and they actually serve what's on their menu. Won't be back. 2. Short + Punchy No tripas, lengua, or cabeza. Ever. 4 visits in 7 days. Zero times did they have tripas, lengua, or cabeza. Starting to think the menu is false advertising. Register girl was rude too -- whispering + laughing at me with her coworker/BF the whole time. Beto's down the street has better food, better prices, and no attitude. Go there instead. 3. Balanced but Firm Frustrating experience Food here can be okay when they have it, but the inconsistency is a problem. I came 4 times in one week hoping for tripas, lengua, or cabeza and was told they were out every single time. If you don't carry menu items regularly, take them off the menu. Service also needs work. The teen at the register was whispering to another employee and laughing while taking my order. Made me uncomfortable. Beto's down the street doesn't have these issues -- they stock what they advertise and the service is solid.

Ordered a few different tacos, tostada and super nachos (with chicken). Their meat was seasoned to perfection. Actual flavors and not just salt. A bit pricey for each taco but the portion of taco is huge and honestly two did the job for me. Give it a try

You're greeted with a fun atmosphere, friendly staff, and an energy that makes you excited to be there. Since the restaurant was especially busy, we chose to sit at the bar. There was no wait, and the high-top seating was surprisingly comfortable. Our server was welcoming and attentive, and the service was fast from start to finish. Between the great music and lively atmosphere, you can't help but want to dance while you eat! I ordered one of my favorites--the chicken sope. It was perfectly crispy on the outside while still soft and fluffy on the inside. The chicken was packed with flavor, and the rice and beans were just as delicious. The salsa that came with it was the perfect finishing touch, adding just the right amount of spice and an extra kick of flavor. My hubby ordered one of the carne asada dishes (so sorry, I forgot the name!). He said it was one of the best cuts of meat he's had at a Mexican restaurant in a long time--super tender, juicy, and full of flavor. We had such a fun night! I definitely recommend Rosa Madera--10/10 for a date night, girls' night, or any excuse to enjoy great food and an even better atmosphere.

    I found Rosa Madera when searching for "queso" in Yelp...(I really was wanting some queso)…read more Anyways, funnily enough, I read through the menu when I got here and ended up getting nachos in place of the queso...that's fine though, it gave me an excuse to come back another day. It's a nice looking place inside, especially considering its general location. They were busy even at an off hour mid-week, but I can see why because the food is great and so is the atmosphere. My first visit, I tried the following: Enchilada Verde (Lunch Menu), Mini Birria Tacos (Lunch Menu), and Nachos de la Casa (with asada). They also brought out complimentary chicharrones de harina, which was especially nice because I was super hungry! My second visit I had the following: Queso Con Rajás Dip, Los Favoritos, and the Burrito de Carnitas (Lunch Menu). I ended up liking the nachos way more than the queso. I wasn't expecting the queso to just be the consistency of slightly melted cheese. I also wish they were a bit more generous with the chips since I ran out of chips way sooner than the dips. No complaints on my main dish portions though! Really loved most things I've tried. The presentation of my dishes I've ordered here, the Enchilada Verde and the Burrito de Carnitas, was great too. The chicken was just slightly too dry for the Enchilada, but the flavor made up for it. Only complaint is while the service was nice, it was SO slow both times I've been here. It took forever to get the check and when they did bring out the card reader you can't see the receipt, only a total. Then their lowest automatic tipping button is set at over 22% (with two higher percent options), which is honestly crazy to me since most places start at around 18%. I way overtipped on accident the first time I came. I think it's highly likely they get overtipped for this reason, which is nice for them but kind of not fair to the customer. I'll continue to return!
