So I no longer eat meat, but if I did, I'd be here every day as these are the best Birria tacos in ATX. The meat is tender, the consomé is delicious on its own, and it is really integrated with the tortilla so you get maximum flavor in every bite. The second time I came in Norma was like, "whoah wow you're back! Who are you??" She's a total sweetie and even wished me good luck for a first date when I explained that I needed to avoid onions that time around. It's also a family establishment; the third time I came by Norma's son was there too! Service is quick, the food is fresh, and I've always been able to grab a seat at one of the tables :) read more

This is some really good Birria. A hidden gem off the side of the road you can find an amazing quesadilla and some really flavorful tacos. Go here and you will be amazed. A top contender in the quest for the best Birria in Austin. read more

I decided to try this food truck and was really disappointed. They charge almost $15 for three birria tacos, 3!!!!!!which were just average-sized -- not overfilled, not huge or crazy, nothing special about them. What made it worse was that the order was labeled as a combo, but it didn't even include a drink. So on top of paying $15+, you still have to buy your drink separately. If your trying to go on a date and want to share a combo with your partner you would be paying about 7.50$ for 1 small taco and half of another taco.Drinks NOT INCLUDED For takeout, the presentation was terrible. They threw the hot tacos straight into a foam container with no paper or liner -- most taco trucks at least put a liner between the food and the foam plate to separate hot food. They also gave half a lemon chopped into three tiny pieces, which honestly felt lazy and lackluster. The tacos themselves were not worth the price at all -- no interesting flavor, no punch, nothing that made them stand out from any other vendor. The consomé (the broth the meat is cooked in) came in a tiny cup, almost the size of a mouthwash cup, which was ridiculous for the price. I can see how someone who doesn't eat tacos or isn't hispanic can find this place as "good" but their just scamming their customers. Between the poor presentation, misleading "combo," and inflated prices, this place just feels like a scam. There are plenty of food trucks that serve better food with better quality, presentation, and value. The only positive thing I can say is that the service was friendly -- the lady taking orders was nice. Also, parking was confusing -- they have about 5 spaces, and it's unclear if you're allowed to park next door the worker didn't know as well. Definitely better out there save your money and go elsewhere PLEASE!! read more

Now THAT was some fine birria tacos!!! I wanted to ask what they put in the consommé because there's something really special in there! I love how when you get to the end of your tacos you get to drink the rest of it. They got my food out fast and I ate it a cute little red picnic tables went at about 145 and didn't even have to wait in line! We'll be back many times I'm sure! Sure wish they had places like this up I in North Austin!!! read more

Not impressed at all with this place. Food truck in the University campus, so yeah i get the students ranting and raving because it is so cheap. Yah, they use store bought tacos from Chichis, store bought seasoning, and cheap ground beef, serve it up deep fried and greasy to hide the cheap flavor and tell them to dip it in some strange soup. WTW? I prefer real salsa green or red, thank you. Not coming back since I can make better at home. read more

I was craving some Birria ramen and it led us here at Pepe's! We ordered the Birria quesadilla and ramen! Quesadilla was okay while the ramen was really good! The broth was flavorful and good size portion to share. This is a food truck situated in a parking lot so looking for parking can sometimes be hard. read more

Literally the best quesabirria tacos I've had to date! I stopped here between 2-3am after a night of partying and got some of the best tacos I've had in Texas! This hidden gem is truly hidden at night, as it's a little truck in a small parking lot. The menu is small with only birria items, it's straight to the point and clearly their area of expertise. I ordered my food is was, prepared quickly and wrapped with care. I traveled over 30 minutes to get home and eat and the food traveled so well! You could tell it was made with love! The consome is seasoned so well and the green sauce is a perfect pairing. read more

This is hands down the best place to get Birria tacos in Austin. I don't even live on that side of town anymore, but I still make the drive because nothing compares. The food is super fresh, always cooked to perfection, and amazing flavor! Make sure to go early because they can run out read more

Unreal had 6 and wanted more! So good! So much meat in each taco Birrrrrra. Thank you for best tacos ever!

Small specialized menu. Taco de Birria w/ cheese was so tasty! The beef was well seasoned and the deep fried corn shell was fantastic. The sauce was also bomb. We had to go get seconds. Service was really great and the food came quickly. Some cons - no prices on the menu, very small for the price, each person would need 3 of these for it to be a meal. Combo doesn't specify how many or what it comes with, non combo order doesn't come with consome (though the person was nice enough to give it to us for free). Overall though, the food was so good that we will definitely be back when the Birria cravings some back! read more

2024-02-22. Pepe's Tacos. Austin, TX. Pepe's Tacos is actually a taco stand at the mouth of the parking lot of Frozen Rolls Creamery. They have two large picnic tables that make up all their seating. We came for the Quesobirria tacos, but when we saw the menu, they also had a Birria Ramen. Another smart take on serving up food with ultra high margins... Did we try it? Of course we did! For those who are new to Quesobirria tacos, you dip the crunchy taco into the consomé soup. They're served fresh and hot, and if you eat them right away, you'll get that great cheese pull. Quesobirria Tacos. Three tacos with consomé soup and a garlic avocado aioli. $15. The tacos were pretty good. The beef was flavorful and tender. The taco shell was nice and crispy and the amazing thing about it was that it was not wet as some are. The consomé was greatly lacking in my opinion. Not much more than beef stock watered down. The avocado aioli was really good. Rich and creamy with just the right amount of garlic flavor making it prominent but not overpowering. The dish also came with a cup of rice and a cup of beans. Overall, 3 stars. Birria Ramen. This is essentially the Birria Beef, the broth it was cooked in, and Ramen. Since the Birria beef for the tacos were flavorful, I expected the same for the Ramen; and Pepe's didn't disappoint! The beef was not shredded like it was with the tacos, you got entire chunks of it! But it was still tender and flavorful. The ramen was not the fresh type, but I prefer the dried ramen so it worked out for me. They provided a side of onions, cilantro, and limes to complement the ramen and that paired well with the Birria broth. $12. 4 stars overall. Quesobirria tacos are pretty big in Texas, they're all over the place and both restaurants and food trucks sell them. They're pricey regardless of where you are (Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Dallas) and sell for $15 (for 3). While I have yet to find a place that has both good tacos and good consomé, if you're in Texas, I highly recommend you try them. And if you're at Pepe's, I would recommend the Ramen over the tacos. If You would like to experience more, come dine-with-me.yelp.com I'd love to have your company... Bon Appétit! read more

Not many places will I do an "insta-review", which means doing a review the instant after (or during) a meal in my world. However, Pepe's Tacos is one of them. I can't believe how savory, flavorful, & amazing Pepe's is. With essentially only 3 menu items, not a single one misses: Tacos de Birria, Tortas, & /or their Quesadillas. If you didn't know, Birria is the star of the show. The Birria is perfectly slow cooked, savory, tender and makes the dish. It's served in ALL of their dishes, including in the Consome. What is Consome? Consome is a flavorful soup that's been slow cooked with Birria. Pepe's likes to serve it with their menu items to complement as a dip or soup. FYI: They don't do traditional Birria (which is traditionally made of goat meat), so no worries here! read more

"When you dip I dip we dip" Highlights: *Birria Tacos *Tortas *Consome Review: Birria has been the new food trend for the past few months and a lot places are starting to recreate this dish. Pepe's has been one of the few spots that has stood out because of their delicious tacos and consome. Their birria tacos are delicious, cheesy and savory. The onion and cilantro gives it that nice freshness to balance out the fatty taco. Add some lime and salsa to really highlight the flavors. Finally pro tip is to dip your taco in the consome to get the full flavor of the broth paired with the taco to take it to the next level. Can't wait to go back and try their tortas. Rating: 8/10 Taco Combo- Birria tacos (3) with mozzarella topped with onion and cilantro with a side of consome.

Pepe Tacos is an amazing food truck! They were right out Bandit Cafe. We were at Bandit for a coffee and saw huge crowds heading to this truck. To my surprise was Was Pepe's Taco. The truck was busy and the crowd kept coming. It was on my list to try and this was pleasant surprise. We tried the Birria Tacos and Consume. Taco could have been more crispy, it was rather on softer side for my liking and what I have had in the past in LA. The consume was great. Overall service was fast and the team was friendly and attentive. The food was and would definitely visit them again. read more

I was too excited to try and it wasn't all that good. I ordered the 3 birria taco combo and birria torta. The consume was watered down. I've been on the toilet since lunch. The torta was small.

Came here on a chilly Monday night in January with a friend. I'd heard good things about this place and let me tell you, I was NOT disappointed! My friend and I each got the Taco combo, which comes with 3 birria tacos and a side of consome. We kept the cheese, onions, and cilantro on the tacos. The whole combo was just $9.50! The person working brought us the food to the car as they told us to "keep warm" which I thought was very thoughtful. We decided to eat at the picnic tables right beside the station in the parking lot because we didn't want to eat in the car. We squeezed the limes into the consome and proceeded to dip and devour each taco. We also drank every last drop of the consome. For the price and explosive flavor, this was such an excellent deal! So much so, that we ended up buying another combo each! So so so delicious. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for cheap and flavorful tacos! Maybe you'll even see me in person there because I plan to come back as often as possible read more

Pepe’s Tacos - Birria Taco with Cheese Taco Combo - Food Trucks Near Me - Austin, Texas

I've never heard or had birria style tacos with consome until I saw a random post for Pepe's Tacos and decided to give it a go, plus it was perfect since it was taco Tuesday. Essentially the style calls for you to dip the tacos into the consome, which is a soup like dip. All these combined just makes masterpiece in savory arts. Atmosphere: Homely food truck style, so you'll get that feel of Austin unique food. Food: Just writing this makes me wish it was closer to my location, but the birria style tacos with consome is certainly something to try for any taco/food lover. The tacos in it of themselves are already savory given the style of meat used along with the mozzarella cheese and corn chip. Possibly not the most authentic with mozzarella but I believe not everything has to be fully authentic to be delicious and worth an experience. The consome is the cream of the crop, a tasty soup like dip that when added on with the tacos just makes it all that much more better. I was so interested with the idea that I actually bought both the taco combo and the quesadilla, similar in styles but so worth it to try it all again. Service: I made a to-go order via their website online, prompt and to the point. I arrived exactly at the time they designated and got my food perfectly on time. Overall: Again for any taco/food lover, I'd highly recommend trying this place. I myself am even considering just looking at other things on their menu to try to see what other combinations work nicely with this style. It also makes me wish Tuesdays would come sooner. read more

First time trying birra tacos so I was really excited. I've watched a ton of videos on YouTube because I eventually want to make them. I figured I'd try them before making them first. The food was good but it tasted like a brisket taco. The consumé for the tacos was just the grease from the brisket. I expected more spice, seasoning and flavor based on videos I've seen but it was still good. I just expected something different I guess. read more

The best Quesabrilla Tacos in Austin! Every time I go here I'm never disappointed. The food is always high quality. The service is always really good as well. They specialize in Quesabrilla tacos, but also serve quesadillas. I like when restaurants specialize in some thing, it means they've taken their time to master the recipe. I've tried both items on the menu, & personally I think they're both good but the beef in the Quesabrilla is on another level. This is a tiny food truck in the parking lot of an ice cream shop. I like the ambience because if you decide to sit at the picnic tables next to the taco truck, it's a quiet tucked away gem. HIGHLY RECOMMEND you make the drive & try these for yourself! read more

Had a trip down to Austin and heard great things from a friend about Pepe's. Hands down the best birria I've had. First day we tried the tacos and they were AMAZING. From the salsa to the consomé to the tacos themselves. This food truck deserves SO much recognition, they nail everything. It was so good we went back a few days later on our trip to try the tortas and quesadillas. Again they did not disappoint. Somehow the consomé tasted better this time which I didn't think was possible. They can count on me to come back again the next time I'm in austin read more

Pepe’s Tacos - Taco Combo - Food Trucks Near Me - Austin, Texas

Birria Tacos are the trend these days and I'm all about it. I recently visited Pepe's Tacos where that's all they do. What even is birria? Good birria is a stew made up as a mixture of savory, sweet, earthy, smoky and spicy seasonings which gives the meat a lot of flavor. I started off with their Taco Combo which comes with 3 Quesabirrias which are a hybrid between a taco and quesadilla where the tortillas are dipped in the birria to give it that color and flavor. It comes with a side of consome (beef broth) to dip. I enjoyed these, however I felt there could have been a bit more flavor in the meat itself in these, but that was easily fixed when I dipped it in the consome. ($10.50) Next, I got their Torta and same concept as above but they dip the bread in the birria. Y'all, this one I enjoyed much more and was my favorite. The bread had this smokey, spicy flavor to it that really complimented it. Amazing! ($10) Last, but not least: had to get the Birria Quesadilla. By default I like these more than the tacos as well because of the use of the flour tortilla and portion of the cheese. ($10) All in all, the food came out swiftly, the prices are great, and there's some free parking available. This is a great spot to visit, so I give them a 4/5! read more

This was our first time trying Birria Tacos. The truck is a bit out of view from the road, but it is in the parking lot of a rolled ice cream shop. The lot was difficult to turn into, so we parked at Bandit - the matcha place - and walked over to pick up our online order. We ordered online for pickup, and the minimum pickup time was 30 minutes after checkout. So we planned to arrive on time/a few minutes early. It was a Saturday so we thought the place might be busy, but I always like to pick up food before the expected time because we all know food that sits out after being prepared compromises its texture. Unfortunately they texted that the food was ready after only 10 minutes, when we hadn't even left the house, so the food was already sitting for 20 minutes by the time we picked it up :( I've never had birria tacos before, but I assumed that since they are fried before serving, they'd have a light crisp to them. But since they were prepared 20 minutes sooner than we were told to expect, they were soggy. They also didn't give us the roja and spicy mango salsa we requested in the order. I like that you can order ahead with text notifications but I wish they had a more accurate timing so you can plan on getting it fresh. read more
