    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)

    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.

    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!

    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 - 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!

Lots of different salsas and toppings to try. I think the drinks are $7-10. I love this place. I have to drive almost an hour to get here but I try to time it out right if I'm in the area as they open at 6pm though they were serving people earlier one time so maybe they're flexible. The seasoning on both the asada and the pork with pineapple is amazing. They have the pork on the spinning thing so it's super juicy. The asada has a flat grill char. It's just so tasty. I tried the baked potatoes for the first time at this location and it was a little bland but they add packets of salt. I got home and added things to my liking and it's one of my favorite meals. I get it with carne asada. It can feed multiple people/ servings. The pina was delicious but I imagine it may get watered down throughout the night. Street parking only as they're on the corner of a Main Street.

    The tacos tasted great, but I left feeling confused about the pricing. The posted price for pastor…read moretacos was $3 each. I ordered 4 tacos and one large drink, paid with a $20 bill, and received only $1 back. No receipt was provided and no explanation of the charges was given. Good food is important, but so is trust. Customers should receive a clear total and a receipt when paying. Unfortunately, that was not my experience.

The service was prompt, and the servers were consistently attentive. My husband ordered the House Nachos and absolutely loved them, while I ordered the Pork Ribs in Sauce and an Horchata; we were both very satisfied with our choices. They really serve generous portions, and the prices aren't bad at all.

The consomme was made from the broth used to slow cook the beef used in the quesabirrias. The quesabirrias were delicious when dipped in the consomme. They were swerved with onions and cilantro on the side, however would have benefited from more veggies. The carne asada nachos were yummy! The nachos contained tomato, onion, cilantro, guacamole, jalapenos, radishes, carne asada, and cheese under fresh tortilla chips. All the ingredients were of high quality and tasted delicious together. Complimentary chicharrones de harina were served with hot sauce. This is the first time I've been to a restaurant that served complimentary chicharrones de harina. Chicharrones de harina are a Mexican snack that are made from fried wheat flour. Service was good as the workers were friendly and polite. They were short staffed so service was slower than if they were properly staffed. It was surprisingly busy around 2pm on a weekday.
