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.

I recommend the tacos. So good. Burrito is basic, but will have to come back to try more.

Okay, look. This place is amazing. If you haven't been, you need to go. Come and eat the Arepa…read more Get the pork belly one. Get the Aleida's sauce on the side. Ask for extra napkins. Go on, I'll wait. See?!?! You're welcome. The Arepas are the most amazing, delicious, gluten free food I ever eaten. And that sauce?? I want to drink it. The cheese in the arepa... oh my. Seriously. Congratulations, you now have a bucket list goal - to try all of the arepas. I am slowly (since I keep trying a new one and then going back to the pork belly, try new one, repeat) but surely working my way through them all. And they're incredible.

My husband and I came here for dinner and we decided to sit outside…read more I wasn't very hungry so I ordered their single taco with al pastor shrimp, which was an extra $2.99 and lime/guac for an extra 50 cents (on top of the single taco, which was $4.50). 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 :/

The food is great! My favorite is the El Pastor Burrito, but honestly, everything I've tried has…read morebeen delicious. The service is quick and friendly, they have plenty of seating, and the atmosphere is pretty chill. Definitely a great spot for authentic Mexican food.

40 yrs+ as a Texan and my search for perfect breakfast tacos has ended!…read moreTACO MANA (Bagdad Rd., Leander) outshines all others with their commitment to quality! Best meaty, flavorful barbacoa tacos I've had! Optional toppings of fresh chopped onion and cilantro is the perfect amount. (I always order two, on flour tortillas) They serve it on a PLATE, with slices of fresh RADISH, GRILLED onions, a whole, roasted spicy hot PEPPER, a tasty whole mini POTATO,, fresh made red, green (or both!) SALSA , and a LIME wedge! These are good sized tacos, filled with tender beef. Not overly salted, or greasy, or dripping in orange oil or filled with nasty gristle. Just lovely, perfectly seasoned meat. We also order egg and bacon and egg and potato. Always consistent, fresh and fast. Keep this food truck in business! Order from them! We call in our order ahead, and then go pick it up. Never had a wrong order! They have a, cute, well cared for food truck, friendly staff, the outdoor area for eating/waiting is clean, and an assigned parking area (unpaved) is to the right. *(Try not to use the car wash they share the lot with for parking.) **FYI- Their Cedar Park location has fantastic carne guidsada but they don't offer it in Leander. Only change I'd suggest is to have both at both locations!
