Tacos El Brother - Birria Gordita - Tacos Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Taco's el brother is a mainstay of the 5th avenue strip. They have a pretty extensive venue for a taco truck, including everything from tacos, of course, to burritos, quesadillas, nachos, tortas, gorditas and even tostadas and huaraches. They also offer elotes and arroz con leche. The burritos are major favorite here, but the best in my opinion are the birria tacos near absolutely amazing. They're located right on the corner of 13th and 5th and there's usually one or two people milling around outside. And trust me Friday and Saturday nights look like a party out front but the service is amazing. P and they don't care. You can order for dinner for yourself or a party of 10. They do not care. They'll give you service with a smile. You can order in person or online through Uber eats and they take venmo, zelle, and of course cash. read more

We ordered tacos de carnitas so good olso de cueritos y oreja they have arroz con leche is good for the cold days I wish they have soups and tamales Everything is very tasty and have good portions read more

I've ordered from them and their second truck in Bay Ridge, but usually only tacos and not super often because they're not in my near vicinity. Lately, I've been on a chorizo plate KICK, let me tell you. My usual places are Tacos El Paisa and Tacos Lopez 2 (those are the best spots for chorizo in my area). Howeverrrrrr, their truck just popped up on my Grubhub with a crazy $10 off $15 deal. There was no way I was turning that up. Typically, I leave a request asking for the cold items included with the plate to either be put on the side or packed all together in smaller, separate container. Reason being that otherwise, they prepare your order and put guac, lettuce, crema and pico de gallo in a container full of hot meat, rice and beans-- and then it sits there waiting to be picked up. On top of it then also traveling with the courier while in transit. It gets soggy, the guac turns brown and warm, tomatoes mushy, it's a sensory thing for me. I also make sure to call before placing the order just to ask if it's okay (if it's a new spot) or to remind them (with my go tos). Their truck is in Park Slope and I'm in Midwood so it's AT LEAST a 20 minute drive. When I gave them a call, I spoke to the person in Spanish and explained exactly this. "I wanted to know if it's possible to pack the cold items from the plate separately so they don't get soggy during delivery?" I was genuinely taken so aback when he put me on hold and came back to say no. When I said, "Can I ask why? It's not like I'm asking for more food, and I live quite a bit away so I just want to make sure it doesn't get soggy," he put me on hold again. Then he comes back and says quite rudely "They said yes but we're only going to do it this time." I immediately just said forget it and decided not to continue with my order. My request was nothing out of this world. I wasn't asking for them to give me a bigger portion of greens and sides, I simply didn't want them shoved in a closed container full of hot items. I think that's pretty reasonable considering I've never had any issues with the same request when ordering elsewhere. If they had been a little nicer and more accommodating, they would've made a loyal customer out of me. I would understand if i was asking for something ridiculous like guacamole without onions. But that wasn't the case and so it doesn't matter if the food is good or not, a lack of *basic* customer service will forever and always be a deal breaker for me. read more

the food was trash. the customer service was disrespectful! I order 2 separate orders with 2 different amounts quoted..the raised the price after the delivery. then when I asked why is was more..they were rude n hung up. then text me telling me if I was broke...I should have just told them the truth!! like what?!! crazy interaction..Will never order again! customer service..gone! read more

Mal servicio por parte del chico que atiende es una persona sin educación y falta de respeto por ignorar a los clientes. Por lo tanto no lo recomiendo. read more

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 read more

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. read more

This place is so solid. Great tacos, good quesadillas and for an amazing price. You really can't go wrong. The tongue, Al pastor, shrimp, fish tacos are all go to's. The green and red salsa is killer, we love some spice! read more

I happened upon this place by chance as I went to the ATM at Capital One which is where this food truck is located outside of. I had a craving and saw they had Birria tacos on their menu. There was confusion in the pricing as I was under the impression the cost was $4 but instead was told by the woman manning the window that it's $9. Did not see $9 pricing anywhere but paid it. When I received my order it was actually good but the taco bread was a bit too much on doughy side. To sum it up my experience it was meh!! read more

The food here is good again. The large guacamole was amazing last night - chunky with fresh ripe tomatoes - excellent! The burrito was gigantic- stuffed full - ready to burst open. More than enough food for one person, could easily divide into two portions. Great deal for the $$$ read more

I've been here many times. The food is always fresh and delicious. They are fast and friendly. Prices are fair.The only two things I tried so far are the grilled chicken taco and the tongue taco. Both are excellent. I get the same thing every time. I'll certainly try more items eventually, but I can't stop getting the beef tongue. read more

Great food, especially there burritos would recommend service is also good and there birria tacos are one of the best

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..... read more

Tacos El Brother - Birria taco - Tacos Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

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. read more

Tacos El Brother - Tacos Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This taco truck has been my go-to spot for Taco Tuesday ever since March lockdown when all restaurants closed down. The most affordable food truck in Park Slope Brooklyn with $2 tacos and $5 guac and chips. They also have burritos, quesadillas, nachos, tortas and other items I can't even name. Their taco menu is pretty big with lots of meat choices offer in small or large. I personally like the small. You can also add pico, guac, sour cream and extras for an additional charge. The people working this truck are friendly, quick and efficient in preparing your order. They all wear masks and gloves which gives me piece of mind and know they take safety precautions seriously. Honestly a solid awesome spot for some tacos to go. Give them a try if you're in the neighborhood. #supportlocaleats read more

Not sure of what days they're on this block, but they were definitely there on a Sunday night right outside of Young Ethel's, who has their menu at the bar plus "free delivery" (which I guess means they just walk into the bar with your food?). Tacos are a cool $2 apiece, and they also have burritos, quesadillas, and nachos. I got the carne enchilada, chorizo, and chicken tinga tacos. All very solid. The chorizo was probably my favorite of the bunch. The salsa verde was really good. Also got a plate of nachos for the group. You can get them with or without meat (for $2 extra), but they were pretty loaded without already. All around, a pretty good taco truck! read more

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! read more

Very good tacos for take out. I like them. Great for on the go. Will be by again very soon !

Without a doubt the best birria tacos (and consommé) I've had in NYC... and as a native San Diegan/LA-er I've had a lot! Stick with the things that benefit from being stewed/marinated (al pastor, tinga, etc.) and you'll be rewarded. The tacos and quesadillas in particular are among the best I've had in the East Coast. The burritos get the job done but lack the punchy flavor of the more meat focused stuff. They also have a wide variety including classics such as lengua and carnitas including the other parts typically not seen in American Mexican places. An absolutely essential late night haunt in this neighborhood. read more

Got tacos, the birria quesadillas and guac / chips for delivery. I lived in Houston before moving to NY, so I thought the tacos were alright. The birria quesadilla was VERY flavorful and it hit the spot, but the guacamole was probably the worst I've ever had because it had no flavor. read more

Update - don't get their burritos. A previous review mentioned how their burrito was all rice and lettuce and the same thing just happened to me! I had a fantastic experience with their tacos and will still be back for them, but cmon how could you call this a birria burrito. It's a rice burrito. Gave 2 stars instead of 1 only because it was still pretty tasty, but it's a shame they put basically no meat. If they did it would've been SO good. So disappointed. read more

If I could give them a 0 I would. The food is disgusting, not only that but they literally burned all of the tortas I orders. I thought maybe it was an accident but they burned 4 TORTAS, not one but four. This is the third time I buy from them and they mess up my food AGAIN. If you can save ur time and go somewhere else. The lady was also very rude read more

It just makes sense if you're from CA- but- it's the closest thing so far. I don't bother going to any restaurants. This is pretty much the closest thing to the tamales in the Walmart parking lots. Shoutout 209. I miss you, Lowe's parking lot. read more

Went here because I was craving birria tacos late at night and they were the closest. Took about 15 minutes and everything was hot and fresh. Unfortunately the highlight of my experience was this bright fresh spicy green sauce that came on the side. I found a long hair in one of my tacos and was unable to even finish them. The quesadilla was pretty bland. Guac and pico were decent. I'd only go back in a desperate situation read more

You know how you see food truck And think Salmonella on wheels? Well bot this one. When Covid and we were stuck at home my teens and I lived on whatever Tacos El Brother made. We were not the only ones. The lines were long and the customers seemed satisfied. Me, myself and I? We lived the lengua tacos ( for those. Ot gifted in the language department, those are beef tongue tacos!). Don't knock them until you tried them! Everything else is great. The owners are polite, clean and speedy! read more

Food is great I've been buying food at this spot for years and they know how much I've spent there. That being said. There was this one time where there was a breakdown in communication and I was served the wrong order. Upon trying to rectify the situation by getting the correct order, the lady serving the customers tried to tell me in a condescending way, that's what I ordered, like if I didn't know what I ordered ,after ordering the same thing for ever. So sad. They won't be getting any more of my hard earned.... read more

We regret finding out about Tacos El Brother because it's right next to our gym. Their food is so good we'll probably have to fight hard to not visit them after our workouts. We tried the Birria tacos (excellent - but no soup), carne asada tacos (great), and a fish huarache (so good!) and their horchata was perfect. read more

Quick, cheap, and delicious. Friendly guys--needed to expense the meal and they played ball even though they don't normally do receipts.

Favorite taco truck in Brooklyn. I live in mill basin and will travel the 30 minutes for their tacos. Service is quick and phone orders are allowed which makes ordering ahead super simple and shortens the wait even more. Lowkey truck with a small ledge to eat if you would like, but no seats so better to take it to go. My faves from here are the spicy chicken tacos, regular chicken tacos, birria and the consomme. Check them out! read more

Great food and speedy. My usual order is simple and they usual arrive at my home within 20 minutes.
