We had the barbacoa tacos, which were delicious and absurdly cheap. You receive just meat on a tortilla, and there is a fixings station where you can add lime, cilantro, cabbage, and the excellent green and red salsas We saw several families order a pint of barbacoa to go, which comes with tortillas and toppings on the side. There was a huge staff, with multiple people taking orders and cleaning the restaurant. The staff were all extremely nice.

The location is easy to get to, with convenient street parking that makes popping in for a quick bite simple. I went with a mix: asada, barbacoa, and pollo taco. Each one held its own, but the common thread--the thing that really stood out--were the tortillas. Soft, rich, and perfectly done... honestly, "like butta." They elevate everything they hold. It's a great lunch spot--quick, flavorful, and easy. And it's already clear what's next on the list: coming back to try the breakfast burrito. Simple place, standout tacos, and tortillas you'll remember.

The tacos and overall atmosphere definitely deserve 5 stars. That said, I do miss the old salsa bar setup where you could enjoy as many salsas as you wanted for free. It's a little disappointing that the salsas are now an extra charge, especially since prices overall have gone up. Even with that change, the quality of the food and the experience keep me coming back.

First time visitor to this establishment, but not my last…read more I felt like I was in an old Mexican village. The building is rustic with a gravel lot. The property just looks very culturally historic. Reminded me of my time in Mexico. As you walk in , there is a counter on the left to order your food. They offer fountain drinks as well as cold bottled beers. There is a salsa bar with maybe 10 salsas to try. I asked for recommendations, and was advised to try the taco 4 pack 2 pairs of meats of my choice. I got the carnitas and the barbacoa, with a side of rice and beans and chips , plus a fountain drink. The carnitas were absolutely fantastic. Tender, crispy and seasoned well. The barbacoa was juicy and tender as well. The chips were crispy but maybe not home made? Didn't matter, as the tacos were clearly the star. The beans were cheesy and the rice had carrots and peas and onions, and maybe corn. You get free refills on the fountain drinks. Mexican music played over the speakers and it was nice with it on or off. I feel like I found a gem. I didn't check the prices because it wouldn't have changed my mind. I later learned it was $31 for 4 street tacos, beans, rice, chips, and a fountain drink. Will I pay it again ? Gladly.

My other daughter got the bean burrito which is gave 2 thumbs up on. Last time we came here I ordered the enchilada plate with carne and a taco and that was also delicious!

Food: 4.5 Carne Asada Fries: For about $11, we got enough food for 2 people. It comes with Carne Asada, beans, pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese. The amount of meat was pretty generous for the amount of fries. The only reason that this does not get a five is because I've had slightly better Carne Asada at other places, but this is still way better than the generic Filiberto or its predecessor Los Victors. We will be back to try other items on the menu. Service: N/A I can't really comment on the service as we have only gotten takeout but they made our food fairly quickly and were very nice.

The complimentary chips and salsa were very good, especially the salsa. I ordered the stacked cheese enchiladas Christmas because I wanted to try both the red and the green. Both were really good. I chose the whole beans and fried potatoes for the sides. A lot of restaurants only offer refried beans which I don't care for but the whole beans were good. The fried potatoes were cooked perfectly brown and were tasty. The meal came with a wonderful sopapilla which I saved for last with some honey. This is now my go to meal. Last time I had the green chile enchilada casserole which was good but didn't have enough green chile. I've also had the rellenos before which could have been better but now have found the order that I'm going to stick with. I am glad that I came back because Dionne is an excellent waitress and the owner came by to check to see if I was satisfied with my meal. I live only 8 minutes away so the distance, the service, and the food is the perfect trifecta. I can be critical when it comes to New Mexican restaurants but today I was completely impressed and will be back soon.

While there are probably ten other food trucks just like this one in Albuquerque, I doubt anybody else delivers an exceptional vegetarian taco the way Julie's cooks it up. I was floored, I just didn't expect the medley of veggies -- particularly the mushrooms -- to pop like that. While I was disappointed that there wasn't a pollo option for the tacos, burritos or tortas, the beef and pork bites were absolutely worthy. Like I said, find this truck just south of Chile Konnection (that's Connection with a K, folks) on Broadway, next to the main post office. Delicious.
