    Birria tacos
    Lindsay L.

    We ordered through Door Dash but we've seen the taco truck parked over where the new Goods store is in Reading Road. Now I think they moved. Always wanted to try it and actually the food was pretty good. Really greasy but I feel like most authentic food is. Tasty for sure, will have again in the future. They don't sell Mexican rice just an FYI.

    Some of the most tastiest Mexican street food in Lancaster County. Located in Ephrata Township in a blacktop parking lot adjacent to a closed but transitioning Kmart provides for some great contrast for what you are about to eat. Service is friendly and they like to move folks along to keep the line moving (but will answer any questions about the menu). Bill was $24 and change for quesabirrias, pork taco and a steak quesadilla. Food was hot (temp), layered and fresh. If I lived closer to Taco El Gordo it would be some trouble. Buen Provecho!

After several tried to explain, I finally said thank you but no thank you. I'll go elsewhere. There was an older voice in the background who could have answered. But allowed the young man to keep trying to get the order correct. I again said thank you but no thank you. I'm going elsewhere. After terminating the call within two minutes this pizza shop called me back and the older guy who was in the background started to talk very indignant towards me. I told him why I was going elsewhere and he said you never call here again. That they were professionals and You are not welcome here. Didn't know what that has to do with pizza or not order but? That's fine. I can't say bad or good things about the food they serve because I've never tried it. However, if the owner gets upset and indignant towards potential customers one must wonder how professional they really are. To call back a potential customer and speak the way he did. Well, you decide if you want to do business with them. Perhaps that is why I rarely see any one doing food business with them. Just saying.
