B's tamales are my gold standard for the historical NM tubular shaped, carne cored, maseca wrapped,…read more"slap it in your face & get happy", burn your mouth down spicy tastiness 'til you think you done died and gone to Heaven, economical to the point of comical, mobile gustatorial fineness of the best kind. With Miss B parkin' her tamale truck on the corner of Paseo del Norte and Universe up on the west mesa most Saturday mornings, you've no excuse for not gettin' your fix of this New Mexico staple year round, not just for holidays, festivals, or gatherings of the fam. Go Red! Go Green! Go Christmas! It doesn't matter. Her tamales are the best trad version I've found anywhere up to this point & are the bar to beat in my world. Her sauces are the crown jewel -- both red & green bein' plenty flavorful and bringin' plenty of heat. The couple little plastic cups they provide for each tamal are enough and then some. Lips, tongue, and throat stinging with residual capsicum makes you feel alive like crazy and crazy like ain't no tomorrow comin'. It's the burn you learn to love. And you know you'll be back for more as soon as you recover. Ain't no antidote for B's tamales & that wild *** sauce. The tamales are dense, toothy, substantial, filling, and are, at the two-fifty-per, two-fer-five-bucks, four-fer-ten-bucks price point, danged cheap for the quality. Stock up on those bad boys & stack 'em deep. As a little guy & lite eater, one of those beasts flying solo, coupled with a salad or bit o' soup, makes a meal for me. A couple of them at once are justification for a shot of Pepto Bismol for dessert and a nap. I gotta give a special shout-out to the delightfully friendly young lady who mans the cash box, takes your order, and trots the hot stuff out to your car after the magic happens inside the food truck. She's such a nice bright way to start your day. Now I think Miss B has other foodstuffs besides those devilishly good tamales. Maybe green chile stew or other classic NM dishes. But I just can't get over or get past her tamales. They're that good. So hustle on up to the westside to rustle on up some mighty spicy & tasty grub from Miss B for minimal lightening of your wallet while stuffin' up your tum. And keep your nap spot primed.

We've been coming to B's food truck since they pulled up to Paseo and Universe about two years ago…read moreand the food is consistently amazing. So thankful they chose to set up on the corner near our house!! Green and red chile are awesome here - both are spicy but not so overwhelmingly hot it ruins your meal. The fry bread tacos are mainly what we keep returning for. The fry bread is slightly crisp on the outside, chewy on the outside and has a great flavor - never greasy. Good ratio of ground beef to beans to chile so you can get a little of each in every bite. Biscochitos are light, slightly anise flavored, and generously covered in cinnamon sugar. This two to three bite cookie is the perfect appetizer and dessert for your meal from B's. Enchiladas, tamales, and posole are also great here, the only item we haven't tried yet is the frito pie because the fry bread tacos are so good we always get them! On my most recent visit there was also red chile powder and pods for sale. Tip: Call in your order ahead at 505-410-0999, usually our food is ready in 15.

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.

I really liked the refried beans, the rice was good, the enchiladas were okay. The red Chile was oddly sweet. The green chile was very flavorful but more like a green enchilada sauce than NM style green Chile. Note that my server spoke Spanish and just a few words in English, but along with my few words in Spanish, we were able to communicate.

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 Truck - Must try! I found this place as I was passing through. Initially, their hours were…read morewrong and when I went, they were closed, probably because of COVID-19 customer changes. Check their Facebook page just to be sure. https://www.facebook.com/elmichoacano.barbacoa/ I stayed a few days just so I could try this place. To be honest, there are a lot of Taco places in the ABQ area, you should definitely try this place. What sets good places apart is the clientele and that indicates to me whether its more or less authentic. I ordered two things, the Birria tacos and the Mulitas. I've never had Birria tacos until I came through ABQ. Most Birria is made with lamb, and so is theirs. Also, you'll get a container of Birria soup, which is what the meat is traditionally cooked in. For the price of roughly $10, you'll get 4 street sized tacos. These Mulitas might be described like a open faced quesadilla on steroids, essentially with meat on them and they don't disappoint. Again, my first time trying these, but it seemed like a lot of the customers that arrived while I was waiting ordered them, so don't take my word for it, take theirs! This place makes every order fresh, so while waiting, I was offered three samples of which was Barbacoa, which was very kind of them and a nice reward for the operating hours snafu. Of the three, the Barbacoa was great! I noticed that you can order most meat by the pound and I almost did, but at this point I had ordered a lot of food just for one person:). I was given three types of their sauces including a red sauce for the birria and a habanero sauce. None were hot spicy to me, but they all were good. If I have one little criticism, I'd say that the folks should sync their FB page changes with Yelp changes (probably have to do that manually). I think Yelp is still relevant right? I really like this place. The people were very friendly / helpful, the prices were good and the food was spot on! Check it out!

They have TVs playing either shows or music. I love how peaceful it is in there and how much hard work they put into making their food.

This popped up on my Instagram at some point. They have several around the city, but this one is…read moreclosest to my home. I usually don't pay attention to those ads but man... I'm so glad I did. I came near closing, but service was still awesome. The lady behind the counter was super patient with me as I scanned the menu and tried to figure out what I wanted to order. I was dinner so I opted for a Birria burrito, then added on a Birria taco and a carne asada taco. There were two people ahead of me so my food was a little slow to come but I tell ya: it was worth the wait. My picture doesn't really do this justice. The burrito is fucking huge. One of the biggest I've ever had. I wish I knew how big it was ahead of time, cause I would not have ordered the tacos. Or maybe I would have cause the tacos were chonky and so damned good too. Going back to the birria burrito.. wow. It was packed full of birria with some rice and beans. The ratio is AMAZING for us meat lovers. I could only stomach half the burrito, plus the two tacos. Was able to save the other half for lunch tomorrow. Still super duper tasty. The birria was very very juicy and tender flavorful. Lord, mouth is watering just thinking about it. The other amazing part? The PRICE. That giant birria burrito was $11.99. I defy you to find a place with a better price to portion ratio than this. Especially in this economy. I'm definitely coming back, cause apparently the other burritos are even BIGGER according to the staff. Price, taste, quantity. Can't be beat. You'd be doing yourself a disservice if you skip this spot. Or maybe skip it, so they don't get overhyped and jack up their prices. (yeah, I'm a little selfish XD)
