    Birria tacos & consomme
    Amy L.

    Super yummy birria tacos. Crisp, tasty, great dipping consommé. Plus, friendly and helpful folks doing the cooking and serving. Highly recommend!

    Very friendly and some of the best tacos I have ever had in my life. You will not be disappointed.

    On my journey to find the best taco truck in New Mexico and as of 9/23/21 this is the best! I have tried this place twice and both times, the quality of the food was clear. Here is my favorite dishes, al pastor and asada tacos, and the barbacoa tortas. I have tried all the meats and they're all amazing, so juicy and flavorful. The best are al pastor, asada and barbacoa for sure(I might just not be a birria person). I will try the different kind of dishes next time but I bet they will also be amazing. Do not cal yourself a taco lover if you do not come here ASAP!!

    Part of me doesn't want to write this review in fear of the amount of patrons they'll receive, but they deserve this review! We tried a new taco truck tonight located over on Juan Tabo, just north of Lomas, in the Salmon's parking lot. We've passed them a few times, but finally decided to give them a try. Total experience? Probably 4.5 stars and well worth the future recommendations I'll be giving my friends to come here. We tried the Catrina Box, a Carne Asada Mula, the Quesabirria tacos with 16oz consommé, and Al Pastor tacos. The Catrina box is well worth the $22 and completely shareable amongst 2-3 peeps. My favorite meat was the Carne Asada because it's incredibly flavorful and not dried out. Unfortunately, the Al Pastor was my least favorite as it was dried out. The flavor was there, but wasn't as great as the Birria and the Carne Asada. All dishes came with a side of onions, red salsa, and green salsa. The salsas are ON POINT! They give just enough bite to let you know the heat is there, but the flavor packs a fantastic punch to the palette! The consommé was a wonderful savory mix with plenty of Birria thrown in. My only complaint there is there was a bit too much oil resting on top, but that's easily pour-off-able. The flavor beats its local competitors--not kidding. It's well rounded with salt and seasonings so you don't just feel like you're consuming meat broth. Give this place a try if you're hunting for the perfect Quesabirria, you won't be disappointed!

    A friend brought me a "sampling" plate of 5 tacos - he had told me what a great place La Catrina was. DELICIOUS! I'm not sure exactly which taco was which except the pastor with a surprisingly sweet and spicy flavor.

    Tacos!

    Update: we are still coming here and the food is still amazing! The owner is friendly and welcoming too!

    Simply the best food truck tacos in all of Albuquerque. Try and find a better spot, you won't. Cleanliness is top notch and obviously the food is delicious. Quality meats and no skimping on ingredients. Try it

    Amazing! We lucked out finding this gem! We attempted stopping at chipotle, but thankfully the line was way too long and La Catrina was right across the street! WAY BETTER than Chipotle would have ever been!! We ordered the Catrina Box special and it was more than plenty for two. Fast, delicious and satisfying! Highly recommend grabbing a bite if you have the chance!

    These were the featured specials. Prices are reasonable and credit cards are accepted.

    Yum!! This food is truly delicious. Everything I ordered was wonderful, but the star of the show was the Al pastor. It is the best Al pastor I have ever had. It was tender, succulent, and seasoned to perfection. We also really enjoyed the carne asada as well. I highly recommend this food truck.

    Tacos al pastor, asada, barbacoa and birria!

    If you are looking for authentic Mexican tacos this is the place! About a week ago I had some family come over for dinner, and since this food truck is located literally down the street from my house I decided to give them a call. The staff was so friendly and helpful, they suggested a "box of tacos special" witch was the perfect amount of food. They were the best tacos I've ever tried, at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend.

I must say, it was significantly better to my taste The pickles were gone, but there was still this unusual taste that I really couldn't place. It tasted almost like pickles in the background, but I'm not sure what it was. Suffice to say, the burger was very good. Was it the best burger I've ever had? No. Sadly, that honor goes to Pete's Frites, and he hung it up after ruining all of us who got to try his burger masterpieces before disappearing. But I digress. No Mames treated me like I mattered. They took my opinions and wishes seriously. I am very impressed. The owner and his wife genuinely wanted me to enjoy my experience with their food, and I must say I did. Their tireless efforts to make me a happy customer are very rare, and they should be commended. I had fries this time, and they are the thin, more crispy variety, which are my favorite. I also received a Serrano sauce and a flavored oil "sauce," which I was told they serve with their chicharrones, I believe. I kinda liked it with the fries. I'm upping the rating to 5 stars, because for me, the food is a very strong 4 stars, but their customer service and care for their craft makes it an easy 5 stars. Go pay this place a visit and let them know what you think of their food. They actually listen and will make adjustments. That's a customer's dream.

Since their business name includes "taco" I had to try them out. I have to say that their tacos are very good with my favorite being the tripitas. I was also curious about their burgers since those seem to be an item that people get. I ordered the monster burger which is a Mexican style burger loaded with all kinds of goodies including winnies and ham. My description of it doesn't do it justice so take a look at my pics. Their tacos are very good but you also need to try one of their burgers, especially if you have a monster appetite.

My husband and I were super excited to try them, this was our first meal out of a bus! The goat birria is to die for! We ordered it in a burrito and next time we will get it in tacos with consume. If the birria is this amazing without consume, I can't imagine with it. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! The carne asada tacos and al pastor tacos were also yummy and very fresh. It is just that the birria was so amazing! After you order at the counter (or you can call ahead to order) they give you a buzzer so you know when the food is ready. We came on a weeknight and they were pretty busy.

It's difficult to find good restaurants that can cater to young adults and have REALLY good food and service. We came first on Sunday for brunch. The food was very good. It was a bit small on the portions though. We had breakfast enchiladas and omelet and blue corn pancakes. Then we came back for dinner. The chicken mole was divine, tacos, sea bass, pork steak etc. absolutely perfect. Good portions. Food tastes like it was homemade. The cuisine is Mexican...not New Mexican. The server was great about answering any questions and willing to omit something if possible. Our server was attentive and so gracious. The wine list was surprisingly good. We had a French Viognier for less than $50. Finally the owner came out to talk to us and thanks us for coming. I'm in the business and haven't had this kind of service for a long time.
