    Quesa Birria
    Brian C.

    Had a hankering for birria. It's really really good here. I need to come back and try more options. Lots of customers ordering stuff from all over the menu while I ate. Owner is friendly. If you like spicy, ask for the habanero salsa.

    Best hidden spot in town. We order breakfast tacos and pastor tacos. They were delicious. The owners are super nice. Give us some sample of soup. Their chorizo is homemade and delicious. Must try !!! We will be back.

    Great birria tacos. Will definitely be back. Tons of delicious looking options. Salsa Verde was delicious, but was sneaky hot.

    Have been here a couple of times and the food and service have been consistently good. So far, I've…read moregotten the Chicken Tortilla Soup and the Pabellón Plate (with chicken), and both were great. The chicken was not dry and the portions left me full. Plenty of menu options as well. The staff are warm, welcoming, and accommodating (we came with a group of 6 and they got us situated right away). The space is small (which I find very nice), there is indoor and covered/shaded outdoor seating available. And I love the decor! Overall, highly recommend!

My husband ordered their burrito, which came with chips and a cheese dip on the side. Their shrimp was good; nothing special. I did ask to try aleida's sauce, which many people liked on yelp, but we liked their green sauce the most! Overall, very cute and colorful restaurant; loved all the decor. The outdoor patio, where we sat, was covered and nice, until it started pouring hard outside. Not a super authentic latin restaurant. No complimentary chips and salsa. My taco wasn't worth more than $5, tbh, and we paid close to $9..given it was shrimp, but we've had much better shrimp tacos elsewhere for less. I wish I had a photo of my poor taco, but I totally forgot to take a picture :/

GOOOO Mavs! The food is delicious & homemade. I even wrote this review BEFORE I finished eating. MEAT: I ordered the Steak Fajita online which to me is FAR superior to the chicken. TOPPINGS & Tortillas: Came with gauc, pico, rice, cheese, chips, salsa, tortillas, lettuce. EVERYTHING you need which makes it quick & easy. I love both the flour & corn tortillas. The corn is a thicker style to where there is a subtle taste of Masa. The flour is LIGHT and I absolutely love that and so does my tummy. BEANS: The refried beans are a perfect texture & taste just like the pinto beans my maw maw used to make. RIH Maw Maw. The charro beans are so flavorful with chunks of steak. These beans have been cooking all day. SERVICE: Finally the service is outstanding. The food is always ready when they say and always served with a smile no matter how busy they are. Today the super nice guy brought my take-away food to the table I was sitting at outside (watching Mavs on my phone...GOOOO MAVS!). He didn't have to do that and many places would have just waited for me to come back in and ask if the food was ready. I LOVE this Fajita Pete's!!! WHY? The Beef & Beans are top notch and the service is OUTSTANDING!!!

I ordered barbacoa tacos and my partner ordered bacon and egg tacos. Although I knew I'd have enough with the tacos I ordered tamales. The barbacoa was super tasty and the red salsa had just enough spice. My partner gave the bacon and egg tacos a good review as well. Unfortunately I got full and didn't get to try the tamales and gave them to a family member. (They looked good though.) I'll be honest and say that my partner had come here before and ordered a pastor taco and I took one look at it and couldn't get myself to eat it. It looked inedible. But based on this experience alone I would most definitely come back for the barbacoa alone! I'll try to get to the tamales next time. This traila is in a lot with a number of other trucks and the area is maintained VERY well. This is probably one of the best well kept food truck area I've ever been to. Over all a great experience and the barbacoa is worth a try!

    Let's start with the small menudo. If you don't like spicy menudo then this might be up your alley…read more As for me I was looking for spicy in every bite and never got it. Something that was very different about this menudo was that is was entirely meat and broth/juice there was 0 sign of hominey which is something I've never seen before. I love for my menudo to have lots of meat and some hominey but the fact that there was absolutely no hominey made me unsatisfied. I give the menudo overall a 3.5/10 I probably won't get that again here. The flautas were a 10/10 they were perfectly crispy all around, the meat was seasoned and the flautas definitely had a great portion of meat. The chicken flautas came smothere in cream and queso fresco as well as lettuce and tomato which all tasted fresh and went really well with those. The red and green salsa were really good and flavorful. The red one was much spicier than the green both complimented the flautas. Fruit cup was good and made fresh to order. The carne asada burrito with potato's and cheese was HUGE, very flavorful, a hint of spice and had lots of meat! 9.5/10 highly recommended only thing that could've brought it to a ten would be if the potatoes had some sort of crispiness to them, they were super soft and I prefer a crust-like outer layer on my potatoes. Beans were good, love that they put cheese in them just like my family does. The rice was good, I did add a little salt to it but overall good. The staff was sweet and patient, I came in with my two toddlers and they interacted with the staff and enjoyed their food
