Absolutely legit (meaning amazing) birria tacos! Not cheap but they are stuffed with meat, consommé rocks and they use their handmade tortillas. Very friendly people and killer food.

Davyd L.

Whenever in the area we come here to get tacos. There was a new truck that looked delicious. We ordered up the al pastor taco special and the quesabirria taco plate. The tortillas on the burrito plate we homemade and amazing. The service was fast friendly and amazing. This will be out go to everytime we're in the area

This was probably the best fish taco I've ever had. Moist and grilled to perfection. Crisp cabbage and a zesty sauce. I got the medium salsa on the side, delish. Came with beans and rice. Cart is stationed at the Vault, Kobalt brewing. Great outside area with plenty of seating in the sun or shade, whatever is your jam. Cart staff were helpful and friendly. Service was fast with piping hot food. I will definitely be back to try the other offerings!

Wow, that caught me completely off guard. The food was yummy, fast and honestly well priced. The ambience was great, it is a tap house/food truck location. The quesabirria seems pricey but honestly is totally worth it. The torta is a more affordable option that is also super yummy, I would order light mayo next time though.

This place was sooooo good! It's a must-stop! I ordered the quesabirrias and my husband got the carne asada burrito. They even have "kids meals" that my daughter was able to eat. When I say this food hit the spot, that's an understatement. This is hands-down the best quesabirrias I've ever had. The meat was perfectly flavored and cooked and all the veggies were perfectly fresh. The servers were also very friendly and the food came out quickly. Definitely coming again next time we're in Redmond.

Absolutely delicious house-made thick tortillas!

So GOOD!! I will be returning here for tacos as my go-to taco joint!! When they ask if you want to upgrade to the in-house homemade tortilla SAY YES!!!!

The BEST taco truck in Redmond I ate there everyday I was there. The steak is sooooooo good taste was absolutely amazing everyday I went. Customer service was excellent very patient while we were ordering didn't feel rushed at all!

Basilio and Claudia are the best! And their food matches!!! The meat used for the carne asada is top grade, no match found yet. The Al Pastor is also excellent. The wifey loves the vegetarian tacos, best she ever had. And the hand made tortillas...to die for.

Food Cart Pods are not a thing where I'm from, so whenever I see one, it's pretty exciting. First of all, do all Cart Pods have names? I love this one; "The Podski", HA! Ok but beyond that, this place had so many delicious and unique options. We had Italian arancinis twice, a sampler of Pierogis, delicious oyster shooters and shrimp tacos. One thing we didn't get but looked awesome: I don't know if we missed out on some gem, but so many people were getting the burgers/fries from one truck. Also, so many other people were getting stuff from the Thai truck. And to top it off... the beer/cider station had an awesome deal. For about the same price you'd pay for a typical pint, they pour about 20 ounces of happy beverage into a taller than I expected glass. The picnic tables are colorful, there's a covered tent if you're feeling cold, people are friendly... it's just overall a great place to chill, drink, & eat.
