After hearing about this place on Instagram and seeing their photos, I couldn't wait to try my first birria taco! Hearing that they sell out in hours, I made the half hour trek and made sure to be there at least 45 minutes before opening. Located in a gas station parking lot, the food truck doesn't offer much parking in the surrounding area and the owner of the gas station had to come out several times to tell people they couldn't park there. There was already a line of people waiting, and we ended up waiting an hour in line just to place an order. We were then told it would be another hour to receive our food. It ended up being closer to 3 hours total and a quarter tank of gas sitting idle in our car with the air on because it was so hot outside. Trust me, I wanted to like these tacos SO badly, I drove so far and waited SO long. Unfortunately, I was disappointed.
The broth was extremely thin and flavorless despite the herbs and smell. It reminded me of what's leftover when you're done with your cup of noodles or cheap top ramen. It was so incredibly thin, it ran right off the taco and offered no accompanying flavor to the taco, only making it watery and soggy. My sister and I both noted that the taco was missing something, but we couldn't figure out what exactly. The meat was hot, but it lacked flavor. There was so much cheese and grease it was all you could taste. It completely drowned out the onion and cilantro and the entire lime was necessary to cut through the grease and cheese. Neither of us bothered to finish our orders. These tacos did not justify a 3 hour wait. They don't even justify a ten minute one. Please save yourself the misery. What a sad, sad day. read more
