I've been a loyal Tocayo customer for years, and their Cala Todo used to be my absolute favorite. It was the perfect portion -- filling, flavorful, and always tasted fresh. It genuinely felt worth the money. But over the past year, things have really changed. What used to cost about $27 for two after tax is now close to $40, and somehow the portions have gotten smaller. On top of that, the flavor just isn't the same. It doesn't taste as fresh or as well-balanced as it used to. The salsa especially used to have a real kick -- now it barely has any spice. And switching from limes to lemons completely changes the flavor profile in a way that just doesn't work for the dish. I'm honestly disappointed because I used to recommend Tocayo to everyone. I understand prices go up, but smaller portions and lower quality at a higher price is hard to justify. I really hope they bring back the freshness and bold flavor that made me love it in the first place. read more

I'm not really one to comment or review but l'm a long time fan and consumer of your birria and I've been pretty disappointed lately. The last few times l've gone to the Rubidoux location 1. The employee there has a bad attitude 2. We get like 3 strands of meat on our tacos. When we first started going there (2020) we would be so full and satisfied with a Calatodo and now it's basically just tortilla. I just want to inform whoever may need to know because I don't think it's a normal portion of food for what is being charged. Also I travel from Menifee to go eat there so it's a drive. read more

This place used to be good. Now its just over priced and quality has gone down. Over the years we used to be fans of this place but after our last visit i do not think we will come back . I understand price of things has gone up but if youre going to raise your prices dont get cheaper product/ meat. Our meet had a weird hard texture, not sure how old it was as it also had a weird smell. Not to mentioned how bad and hard our rice was. read more

Food was good, paid $35 for taco, burrito and quesadilla ... but when asking for a side of consommé charging almost $6??? Dude, I just spent $35 and asked for it and you said yes while ordering, but then tried to charge after I already paid. Shady AF...reasons like this people don't come back. read more

Drove past this taco truck and I wasn't sure if it was open but the windows were open it was during the day. At night it's easier to tell because all the lights are on lol it was really good! They even gave me a bunch of meat to buy that I could give my dog that didn't have any of the onion in it. I got two tacos that were really good. It's interesting because they're a little bit different from what you're expecting But ends up being very tasty! More importantly it's not just tasty but I went on a hike afterwards and didn't have any of those taco burps or anything like that I know it sounds gross but you know what I'm talking about. It was fantastic and it actually tasted very healthy and very fresh. I ended up buying a gentleman that was nearby a plate and a drink that was hungry. He is very smart to post up there because I'm sure he's eating very well and very healthy! I think this is the first time I've ever had such good Mexican food that actually felt good after you eat it. Great job you guys! read more

No good my son threw it out! The guy working told me at 8pm we are only making tacos the birria and asada and both were dry the birria my son said was dry which usually is loaded with juicy flavor. My son said taste like he was eating a eraser, super chalky! We won't be coming back read more

Soooo I came twice this week to this lunch truck .....you can't go wrong with any of the dishes. If you can't decide order Calatodo, you get a little bit of everything. It was cloudy and raining this weekend so you know ramen in on the brain. Dang it was so good!!!! I had been wanting to try this forever. Put a little bit of their red salsa and oh man that hits the spot. It's super spicy so watch out! :D read more

The food was amazing and so was the service. We will definitely be revisiting Tocaya.

Meat is hard to chew. Not soft anymore like it used to be when they first opened. Not to mention the prices are sky high now, specially for a food truck. The guy wanted to charge me $10 for a medium consome with no meat no onion and cilantro. And $17 for a Birria plate. read more

The birria taco itself has a verry flavorfull taste and when you dip it in the consome juice it changes the whole game of a regular taco ,very well service over all you will always find a line of people waiting to get their birria its a very fast pace service, wont take you long to get the food . Its a very clean food truck and out in the open u will find the fresh air while waiting for your order . read more

I did not know birria mulitas came without birria? Not just one but all three of them did I wasted money for nothing. If I wanted a fucking quesadilla I would of saved my money and made it at home And they got my order wrong and I had to tell them to fix it and they didn't want to refund me my money at first for what I didn't order. I used to love this place but two strikes in a day, yeah there's another place I could go to Im good. read more

Tocayo Birrieria - Tacos Near Me - Riverside, California

1st time trying and.... Apparently they didn't have any quesatacos dorados, so I was disappointed. Still gave them a try, they were good but too much meat that it wasn't enjoyable. Plus the meat was a little dry. Salsa was good. Had a side of beans for my daughter, they definitely needed salt. Also the drink selection was low. Overall good/okay but I'd keep looking to go somewhere else. read more

Tocayo Birrieria - Birria Quesatacos - Tacos Near Me - Riverside, California

This is my all-time favorite birrieria. It's affordable and the quality of food is great. First off, birria is essentially slow cooked beef that is saturated with flavor. This food truck specializes in birria, and so all the food items contain it. (It's like the inn n out of birria). My favorite items on the menu are the torta, the quesadilla and the taco con queso, all reasonably priced under $10 (the torta is $6 on Thursday). The hot sauce is especially fiery. A great way to add flavor to any one of their amazing dishes is to use a couple drops of lime, a little bit of hot sauce, and a splash of the caldo de birria (birria broth). When coupled with the torta, the beef broth makes an amazing dip similar to jalisco style Au jus. read more

Definitely, their consume is not the best but it definitely gets the job done! I got the family pack and boy, oh boy, it was great! Some other reviews complained that they did not give many sauce packets but the nice lady gave us more than enough (FAIR WARNING: the red sauce got a nice little hellish kick to it). Although this place is a little pricey, $40 for family pack, if this is your first time getting birria tacos, not a bad spot! read more

The crunchy birria tacos are good but use too much grease. The sauce is very hot, so one is good for 3-4 tacos. When I went it was busy and took long to get my order but staff was friendly and apologized for the delay. read more

It was okay, i thought it needed more flavor or seasoning but it was good not too greasy. Service was just okay, food took like 15-20 min, they did give us a lot of condiments. They have a dessert truck next door with churros and fries, chicken wings. read more

I have only had the birria ramen a couple of times and the food is pricey, consistent with any other food truck. The vendor does speak English, which is a plus. The downfall is something I have experienced in other businesses serving the same type of food. When my Spanish-speaking coworkers place the order for the group, we get a noticeably larger portion of meat. When those of us who don't speak the language go, the meat is just about nonexistent. This is an unfair business practice because we pay the same amount for the food and when one is running a business, especially a non-chain business, word of mouth gets around. I will not be returning due to the prejudiced practices. read more

While in riverside, my wife said the aroma from this truck nearby made her change her mind on the chipotle food she was going to get. I'm glad she bought this instead. It was delicious. 1 Plato birria con todo and 1 Calatoda con todo. It also came with a cup of consume. read more

I usually get their family pack. Prices are reasonable for what you get. Love going here for quesatacos Dorados. read more

Food is good but they put no meat in the tacos when they use to put more before so pretty much you get a taco with only tortilla, and for the price they charge will never go there again especially when there stingy on the meat they put in there tacos!pinches codos read more

This place used to be so good until today when they charged $5 for a small side of beans that had no salt and tasted like they had gone bad. Couldn't even eat them! Gross. read more

We come here often for some good Tijuana style Birrieria. I usually order the family pack and that usually covers what my family needs. I've had just about everything on their menu and that's our go to. If I'm eating solo I'll grab some quesatacos and a vampiro with some consume (beef juice). I recommend this truck. read more

Great food, reasonable prices and very thoughtful, friendly and efficient staff. The birria ramen could be the highlight. Throw some lime and salsa in there and thank me later. The tacos, burritos and mulitas are a close second. Don't forget the consome. read more

I ordered some tacos and a drink. Price was reasonable. Unfortunately the tacos were bad. Soggy and the meat didn't have a lot of flavor. They only had about two options for drinks - Squirt and something else. Tacos are better with a nice cold Coke. Didn't have to wait too long. Parking lot is horrible - a lot of pot holes. There are other places that offer way better birria. Go somewhere else for some good tacos and a place to actually sit down at. read more

Yes, they're slow because they're busy but the tacos are delicious. Whether it's their soft tacos, dorados, quesatacos, or ramen, it's all delicious with tons of flavor. Their truck that's on Fourteenth/Main in Riverside is my go-to now, they're not as busy. read more

Tocayo Birrieria - a bag of food in a car - Tacos Near Me - Riverside, California

So it was terrible im telling you terrible The quesatacos barely had any queso to begin with then they weren't properly dipped into the consome so it honestly felt like i was eating a taco de carnitas The meat was sooooo dry and don't even get me started on the consome. First of all they gave me a cup of burnt oil literally they served me the used oil they take clean out the grills i tasted it and it was disgusting so i had to go back. The lady charging was flirting with a guy and wasn't even paying attention to the line. Next she took the cup gave me a nasty look then gave me another cup i was being very polite because I understood mistakes happen but her attitude was a no Then i said I didn't want it at all I just want my money back for the consome and she said she didn't do that and handed me the cup The consome wAs good but again the meat in it is just soooooo dry it was very disappointing. read more

Ate these fresh by the truck, they were soggy and not crispy, with not as much flavor as I'd expect from most places serving birria.

These tacos are ok if you don't have a family member who can actually make birria. The seasoning was off. Not flavorful at all. Ok for "fast food birria" but can not compare to the real thing. read more

Yummy birria and it's made to order. Perfect for the weather. My favorite was the vampiro quesadilla/snd the calatodo . Enjoy the flavored meat and the birria consomé is delicious. They only take cash at this location. They also are located in a parking lot that's a bit dark at night. Bring a light or truck to eat the food fresh. If you take it home it's not the same. read more

I have recently visited the location on Bain and jurupa.. OMG this is highly overrated like any curious yelped I ordered almost everything on the menu but I was overwhelmingly disappointed by mostly fake reviews here.. the honest truth is that there is really no flavor here even the salt is missing..if you're compelled to come here only order the quesa taco.. at least u can taste the cheese..3/4 of the burrito in the trash read more

Best place in town for Birrieria I'm working for the city right now not even a half a block away from them. I will go every day and that's a promise to the owner. read more

I wanted to see what the hype was about and after my first visit I must say it's delicious. I've grown up eating birria and this place was bomb. I'd definitely come back. I tried the regular tacos and the torta and what was my favorite the TACOS DORADOS never had birria that way it was so good! Dipped it in the consume that came with the torta and it was so good together. I'd give them a five star but the food took like 25 min or so. For me that's a little long to stand outside a taco truck but it was worth it. I would come back read more

When I worked in the area I used to come here often. Tried a lot of their menu items, my personal favorite was the tacos dorados and the torta with the consume.... Delicious! Service was reasonable, it really just depends on the amount of people there. Some days our orders took longer, some days it was fast. read more

I love that they have a low carb/keto option. The food was really delicious the only reason I'm not giving the full 5 stars is because the lady working the register/taking order at the pop-up we went to, was a bit rude. Even my husband commented to me how the lady seemed like we were bothering her just by ordering. You don't need to have a huge fake smile and be overly happy but it doesn't hurt to greet customers with a simple "hi, let me know if you're ready to order or have any questions" or something. read more

The best tacos I've ever had so far. There were no lines when we arrived, YASSS! We got hard shell tacos, Tortas, vampero and burrito. Hard shell tacos were $2 each, $8 for tortas, and $8 for burrito. They have daily specials as well but who cares about special when you want instant gratification. I was blown away on the blast of flavor of the vampero, eating on the drive home. The meat was perfectly stew, moist and lean. The shell I believe is made out of cheese that was grilled to perfect crispness. It came with onions, cilantro and side of fiery hot sauce. It hit all the taste buds in just one bite. The tortas here made history with the side of broth. You definitely have to try it for yourself!!! Bookmarked this place and come in your stretchy pants. read more
