    Hefty portions of quesobirria tacos. Next time I gotta beg for extra green sauce.
    Shelley R.

    Today was Tuesday, and I was hankering for tacos nearby. Grab N Go? Torchy's? Nah, not bad but overpriced. Then I read what y'all had to say about Cinco's and had to try it. Glad I did! Got four quesobirria tacos to go for only $13. Deeelish and stuffed generously. I know the cup of braising liquid they give you is the tradition for dipping sauce but honestly, each taco was already so beefy and juicy they needed no extra dunk. Saved that though, in case I get thirsty later. My only advice: stay and eat at one of the shaded picnic tables in front of the truck. They use styrofoam to-go containers, and those make ANY crispy food sweat as if they arrived in a wet sauna.

    Why 5 stars? Because the quesabirria hit the spot. --- --- --- My wife and I were heading back home from Houston and I wasn't really hungry for dinner after a heavy, late lunch. I just wanted some cookies, so we stopped at a nearby place for just that. As we were walking in, my wife said, "I think I actually want something savory more than sweet". Like Pavlov's dog, I *immediately* also wanted something savory. We skipped the cookie idea and decided to swing by this food truck instead. It's hard for me to resist ordering quesabirria when I see it on a menu, and there was no temptation to sway from that here. This meal was exactly what I was looking for: delicious sustenance, but not an overwhelming amount of food. And while there is another food truck that still holds the G.O.A.T. status when it comes to quesabirria, I think Cinco De Mayo is solidly in the running for the 2nd or 3rd best that I've tried. I personally prefer tipping in salsa over what normally comes with quesabirria. I know that's kind of the whole thing that makes the dish what it is, but I've never been one to be swayed by what everyone else is doing. The green sauce was delicious and an ideal pairing, IMO. Now, did I wake up at 2am with heartburn because I have a faulty esophagus? YEAH. But was it all worth it? You bet.

    These tacos were amazing! So much so that my boyfriend tried to take his daughter two days after we went. Highly, highly recommend! Best tacos I've had in Houston so far!!

    STOP AND EAT HERE !!!! No seriously , the bistec tacos are sooo damn good with that green salsa. QuesaBirria tacos are a hit as well!!! I failed in taking pictures today because I literally SWALLOWED the food when it got to my table. Have ever SWALLOWED your food ? no fr fr stop and try the food , you won't regret it. Felipe was soooo nice and made sure I had everything I needed. Both him and his buddy worked quick and got our order out fast! They have plenty of tables to sit with cute patio lights. Cute little vibe for a light night bite with your boo or friends forsuuure.

    Yalllll if I could give this place 10 stars I would!!!! I have been searching and searching for a bomb taco spot in houston near me, and I have found it! I see why they have all the stars!!! I came here a little before they opened so waited in my car. As soon as they opened, popped over and ordered some fajita beef tacos, gahhh....I wish I ordered more!!! They were the perfect size street style taco, with fresh onion, cilantro, limes and a sauce on the side. The meat oh man oh man the meat was so tender!! And it was seasoned so well to absolute perfection! And I do not say that often!! I had also dropped off tacos to my friend, and got a call minutes later saying the exact same thing and where could they go get more! I was hesitant to share the exact geo, but sharing is caring! Love that there's some outdoor seating so that you can enjoy the food there in the shade. Also, plenty of parking as they're located in a shopping strip!

    10/10!!! I came here on 1/12/22 for the first time since moving to the area. I previously tried another food truck that was closer to my area (like 5 minutes away) but I knew there was better out there so I kept looking - and found this gem! It is further (about 20 minutes from me) but I would make that drive ANY DAY for their tacos! The wait was decent, it was a little chilly so after we ordered we waited in the car. It was about a 10 minute wait so not bad at all. The service was also great and the man who took the order was very funny and personable. We got the Al Pastor tacos & of course the birria tacos. The Al Pastor was TOP NOTCH! I'm a HUGE taco connoisseur and taco lover. They made them so perfect. Their birria tacos - WHEW! Definitely in my top 2 (compared to this spot I went to in San Antonio) and I've been to a lot of taco trucks for birria. They were greatly packed with flavor, cheese, cilantro and onions, just how I like it. The consomé was also very flavorful! I'm telling y'all, these tacos are TOP TIER. This will probably be my new spot for birria tacos so thank you to the owners/cooks for this food truck. Y'all have a new long term customer!

    Tacos de pastor were amazing! Get corn (maíz) taste way better! My friend got the tacos de birria and she loved them. They have a few picnic tables and string of lights so the atmosphere is cute. Can't complain about the service.

    Quesadilla and burger

    If you're looking for a taco food truck near Spring, this is it!! I got the pastor quesadilla which was delicious! Unfortunately it downpoured while we were waiting for the food, but there is a little covered area next to the truck where we were able to sit to eat and wait out the storm. Would definitely try again!

    Who knows that Christopher Cross song that starts like this? "Once in your life you find her Someone that turns your heart around And next thing you know you're closing down the town Wake up and it's still with you Even though you left her way across town Wondering to yourself, "Hey, what've I found?" Well, you've found quesabirria. This place is very close to where I live -- and today was the first time that I decided to stop in. I wanted to wait until it get a little more Yelp-cred, but still - there were only 2 reviews. I decided that I HAD to give this place a shot, even if I ended up taking one for the team. So, I ordered the quesabirria. A plate comes with 4, which I could not finish today, plus the magic soup dip. When I took my first bite, I knew. It was like finding my taqueria soul-mate. The food itself was very temperature hot (even after driving home) and the flavor was pretty much perfection. Each bite made me both happy and sad. Happy because it was so awesome -- and sad because each bite brought me close to the end. There is plenty of outdoor seating. They accept credit cards. This place just flat out rocks. Even if you're not close -- drive over and try it. The fine print: I'm not responsible if you get addicted to the quesabirria.

    Do you cater?

    Mr. Maurici did such an amazing job catering my daughters birthday on a sunday! It was such a big hit that everyone weeks after the party was asking where the truck is so they can get some more! I will definitely hire him again in the future!

    Do you have margaritas?

    Sorry but we don’t have any alcoholic beverages

    Do they accept card?

    Yes, we do.

    Love this little truck!…read more Here at Desi Vibes, you get the full food truck experience. Friendly service, a rotating menu, affordable prices (got two meals for $12), operating hours that you just kind of need to check before you go, and most importantly, hot, tasty, messy food. The doubles were the reason I came, and I was lucky to pick some up on a Saturday evening. The pepper sauce is perfect, and they have a great chutney on top. If you're new to Trini street food, doubles are a popular small dish that you'll find in most towns across the island nation, commonly eaten for breakfast. Essentially it's chickpeas in a curry-like sauce served on two bara (which function like a tortilla). It's delicious and unlike most familiar flavor profiles, and it's definitely worth trying here because these folks knock it out of the park. The mushroom burger came out hot - almost too hot to hold. The patty was cooked well-done, which is worth noting if you prefer a medium cook on your burger. The mushrooms, onions, and sauce got everywhere - it was glorious. Can't wait to go back and try the loaded fries, shrimp fritters, and more of their authentic Trini dishes!

    Newest food truck in town! We tried the spicy chicken sandwich, beef sliders, loaded fries, and…read morechicken patties. The beef sliders were my favorite item, definitely a 10/10! One order has 3 sliders with mini beef patties topped with cheese, grilled onions, and jalapeños - all in all super delicious! The loaded fries were pretty good too but I will say that the cheese sauce was slightly lacking in flavor. The spicy chicken sandwich was nice and crispy but the coleslaw was a bit too sweet for my liking. The chicken itself was a little dry inside so I think some kind of sauce would be a great addition! Make sure you check them out on instagram to see menu updates before you go. Their prices are so reasonable and it's nice to have more halal options in North Houston!
