Birria tacos
Scott M.

Oh, My Goodness....... I have been researching taco shops that serve Birria style tacos for several weeks in and around Annapolis. I found only one place that serves these style of Jalisco tacos and it is at this "hole in the wall" or should I say a food truck in a parking spot at the Sunoco gas station called Taqueria el primo. So those like me that may have never heard of Birria tacos this dish is a meat stew traditionally made from goat meat but occasionally made from beef or mutton. The dish is often served on celebratory occasions. Preparation techniques vary, but the dish is often served with corn tortillas, onion, cilantro, and lime. The meat is marinated in an adobo made of vinegar, dried chiles, herbs, and spices before being cooked in a broth. Then it is served with a side of the cooked broth for dipping. It is amazing!!!!! I picked today; the wettest day we have had to go get these Domingo's de birria (they only serve these beauties on Sunday). I tried my best to order in English then just had to describe what I wanted. I ordered three of these tacos for $10.00. They came out super-hot and flavorful, the tortilla shells are semi fried like a crunchy hard-shelled taco, the cheese, onion, cilantro, and most important the extra tender stew meat was spot on. I dipped each taco in the broth, and I don't think I took a breath while enjoying these tacos. The meat was so tender and for me tasted like mom's tender Sunday brisket. Man, it is awesome. I usually observe Taco Tuesday, but I think I will have to start a new Sunday tradition, I think will call it Super Sunday. Oh yeah, I give this food truck the max stars of 5 because their food is the best.

Pollo Tacos

Such a good taco place. Service- super nice. they asked if I wanted American tacos or Mexican tacos when I ordered my tacos which I thought was a little funny but good to know they have options. Pollo Tacos- really good. So much flavor and the chicken was super tender. Flan- so creamy and smooth. I had been craving flan for awhile and this definitely did the job. Definitely coming back to try their other tacos!!

Tacos Dorados + rice & beans. Rolled, fried chicken taquitos are delicious!

Hands down the best food truck in Annapolis. The tacos were authentic and delicious. Don't let the gas station parking scare you off .

Hit the "Smashup Burger" joint (food truck) at a outdoor concert venue and I have to go e them an…read moreA+....both their retro and their classic burger were spot on! Even my 2 YO Grandson enjoyed his first ever cheeseburger! The tomatoes were from the Eastern shore and juicy thick...the lettuce was "clean and fresh" and the burgers were smashed to perfection (a little crispy on the edges). Cool weather(breezy), good music vibes and Smashup burgers= recipe for success!

This truck came to the Crofton Farmer's market for the first time in early July. I was excited to…read moretry their food because I've heard good things. This particular morning, they were offering a breakfast burger special: smash patty with bacon, egg, cheese, onions, jalapeños, and cilantro lime sauce. Their regular menu sells two different burgers: The Classic Double (lettuce, tomato, burger sauce) and The Retro Double (pickles, onions, ketchup, mustard). I opted for the retro double. The burger was good. It had a nice crust on the outside. There was enough ketchup and mustard on the burger to taste, but not so much that it's dripping off the sides when you bite into it. The fries were good. I wish they offered a bigger cup of them since they're almost $4. Burgers are $9.79, fries are $3.95, and drinks are $2.00. They also have merchandise like t-shirts, hats, and hoodies for sale. The employee that took my order was really friendly. I hope they make a return to the Crofton Farmer's market! I would definitely get burgers from them again.

This is a letter I sent to the company:…read more Today, September 16, 2020 around 5:38 pm, your food truck was in my neighborhood, Aspen Park. As I waited in line, there was a young man in front of me not wearing a mask. He approached the employee taking orders, placed, his order (while standing at a table with food items for sale-some homemade and wrapped with Saran Wrap), received his purchase, and walked way. Not once did the employee taking orders make a comment to him about being maskless, and still served him. When I approached the table to order, I was told that the truck lost their WiFi (which is a different complaint). I asked the employee why she served that young man with out a mask. Her response was, "Well I'm wearing a mask." Since July 31, 2020 at 5 pm, Governor Hogan issued an expanded mask order. In fact, he said "No shoes! No shirts! No mask! No service!" Why would your employee still serve someone not following the Governor's order? Why would this employee be okay with allowing someone to patronize their business without a mask? Why would this employee have such a nonchalant attitude about the public's health during this order and pandemic? Why is this employee allowed to put the Meat My Buns business at risk of infecting their other employees and the public? Do food trucks have any responsibility to follow the Governor's order? Why I ask? After the response from the employee, I told her that it is not okay with putting everyone's health at risk and walked away. Because of this interaction with your employee, I will not be patronizing this business. I will also be sending a complaint letter to the Governor's office. I will post this message on Yelp, Google, and other online sites that welcomes reviews. I look forward to a timely response to my questions. I hope you take my take my letter more seriously than your employee did with the person not wearing a mask. A concerned citizen.
