    Dipping tacos into birria
    Tiffany H.

    Tocos birria & soup is the bomb! So good n sooooo spicy! Dip yr tacos into the soup n amazing marriage of flavors. I had shrimp Tostadas before and it was ok. This time i tried The birria , is amazing. Prices are excellent, cheap n cheerful! service is fast n courteous. I forgot my wallet but they take Venmo! Yay! I love taco trucks, this one doesn't disappoint! Usually in the corner of 5th Ave n 13th st. By chase bank.

    Three large tacos and burrito
    Michelle T.

    Did a quick delivery order and was surprised at the portion. For a large size tacos, they can add a little more meat. The consume was delicious but sadly was cold. The burrito was stuffed and delicious. It was so stuffed that it fell apart. The Carnita and fish was the best. First time having roasted pork where there's fat and goodness all in the taco. The chorizo can skip next time as there wasn't much meat in there. Overall I would be back for the burritos

    This is me at home adding beans from a can in my cupboard.

    I have been going to this food truck for some time now. I don't know what happened, we ordered over the phone, my boyfriend specifically asked if the "El Pastor" burrito had pineapple. This was never a problem before. But the guy working this evening was a jerk!!!! Not to mention I ordered a vegetarian tostada and they didn't even put refried beans in it - this is what I got - I had to take a can of refried beans I had in my cupboard and add them myself. Extremely disappointed with the food and the service especially the service - so unfriendly. We live right down the street and will never go there again - extremely disappointing!!! My boyfriend does not speak Spanish but I do, I am Puerto Rican and I lived in Mexico...when I got there and explained - he didn't even look at me and could care less.

    Birria taco

    I've hesitated to write a review for this taco truck because I fear it'll gain even more popularity and if there's one thing a native NYer dislikes, it's when their food spots blow up and they are forced to wait on line. But...this truck deserves all the love. Besides, crowds already form around it and deservingly so. The food here is, quite possibly, the best "fast Mexican" in all of Brooklyn, maybe the city. Their tacos are flavorful and built with tortillas that are tender to the bite as they snugly hold all fillings and sauces. Yes, there are birria tacos. Yes, they are fantastic. No, they have not been blogged about. (This is a good thing. Go get some before Eater or Grub Street find out about this truck. You won't be disappointed.) The tacos are perfect and more affordable than most places, but what also makes "The Brother Truck" stand out are the variety of fillings and menu items beyond tacos. Besides the usual beef, pork, and chicken there are tacos made with tongue, pig ear, and campechanos (a combination of different meats). Certainly something for the adventurous eater. There are also burritos, tortas, huaraches, and something I recently tried called tlacoyos, which is a black bean stuffed masa pocket topped with salad veggies, meat, and cheese. Hit up The Brother Truck for your Mexican food cravings. The team behind the wheel is impeccable with the details and have really delivered something great to the neighborhood. Makes me wonder if they'll ever go the brick and mortar route. Hmmm.....

    This taco truck is no frills. $2 tacos, $5 guac and chips I mean you really can't go wrong. If your a carnivore you will like it here lots of meat options only one vegetarian taco and it's not vegan so it does have cheese and sour cream. The staff is very quick and efficient in preparing your order and They do wear a mask which I really liked the precautions they take for safety. Great spot to grab some food and sit by the bar a few stores down.

    Birra Soup in Small
    Celia L.

    We're winding down our week in Brooklyn. Today we stopped at the taco truck and ordered 4 Steak Tacos and 2 Chicken Tacos, 2 Large Horchata, and a small Birria soup. Everything was delicious, but we like steak better, so we will try another protein. Service is quick, food is good and we will be back!

    Found myself craving Mexican (specifically, Birria) one Friday evening after a long work week…read more Nenes Taqueria hit the spot in every way I wanted. I went on a Friday evening around 9:30pm. It was still fairly busy inside, but it was mostly people grabbing to-go orders. After ordering I snagged a spot at the counter. There's extremely limited seating, so I wouldn't bank on eating at the restaurant when it's busy. Be prepared to take your food to go. I got the Nene's Deluxe, which comes with a taco, a mulita, and an empanada - all with Birria of course. It was all delicious. The mulita was at the bottom of the box and got completely soaked with Birria. It was extremely messy to eat. Get plenty of napkins. I also got a side of fries and nacho cheese, because it was a long week and I deserved it. They had a seasonal strawberry horchata as well. This was okay. I also think I might just not love horchata in general. This meal definitely hit the spot. The Birria and consommé were top notch. I would return in a heartbeat.

I tried something different than my usual and went with the Adobada Tacos (Pork Al Pastor). The meat itself was spicy and a little rough, which leads me to believe it was maybe old meat. Instead of cubed, the pineapple was shredded which offered a nice touch. Unfortunately the actual taco got soggy by the time I ate it so I just picked out the meats and pineapple. There is plenty of avocado green sauce placed on top, which moving forward, I will request to be on the side to prevent the taco from getting soggy. Overall I probably should just stick to what I know/like so I'm willing to give this location another shot!

Our reservation was for 8:30pm, but we arrived early and Alejandra, the hostess, was incredibly welcoming and accommodating. Even though she was ready to seat us, we decided to hang at the bar until the rest of our party arrived and that was the perfect move. Alkarys behind the bar was top-tier. She recommended the Siempre Reposado, and let me tell you... smooth, clean, dangerously good. If you're into tequila, that's a must. Now let's talk about the food. We ordered the quesadilla, rajas, tamales, tacos, and the queso fundido and every single dish hit. The queso fundido came out bubbling, rich, perfectly melted with that pull you want when you scoop it up. The tamales were moist and packed with flavor, wrapped beautifully and clearly made with care. The rajas had that perfect balance of roasted pepper sweetness and savory depth. The tacos? Authentic, well-seasoned, and layered with flavor, no shortcuts. Even the quesadilla stood out, crispy on the outside with that perfectly melted interior. Everything felt traditional, elevated but still true to its roots. You can taste the authenticity. Service was attentive without being overbearing, the ambiance was super casual and laid back, the kind of Brooklyn spot you pull up to for a real dinner experience, not just a quick bite. Highly recommend this place if you're out and about in Brooklyn. Definitely coming back for the tequila, the queso fundido, and round two of those tacos. I'm gonna try eating at the bar to check out the spot in the front of the house.
