Mini asada tacos
Kassie M.

So good! Quick service, amazing birria tacos and consomé. Loved the wide variety of food options from burritos to pizzadillas. The food was hot and delicious. The taco truck is located in a hidden area on Shaenfield. I'm so glad we stopped by because I just found my new favorite birria place. Lots of outdoor seating under shaded umbrellas. Other trucks available in the same area.

Place: Always fascinated with food trucks that have long line. Went here Friday night, like around 5pm and it has a long line. They have big area for tables and chairs and some have big umbrella for rain or sun. Service: The service was fast and organize so it was easy for us. Staff where pretty nice and since we don't know what we want they gave recommendation or surprised us with what they pick for us. Food: Worth it! So we ordered the Birria Pizza for $14 and it's already a big box for one person. I think this is for 2-4 people depends how much you can eat. Then the Mini taco or taco plate that it was so good as well. I preffered the Taco Plate cos I taste more the cilantro and other side dish. While for Birria Pizza it's so cheesy which I liked as well. Overall it's good experience and visit!

Mini tacos

Love the Birria tacos and mini pancakes.. feel like that's their specialty. Asada tacos were okay- I prefer a little more grilled, had that "boiled" meat taste. I love their salsas- very spicy, as they should be! They have made upgrades like covered sitting area, DJ, etc. parking is easy. Friendly team but prepare to wait a bit. Def a place to hang out with friends for good food or for the family.

This place is excellent! Definitely expect that on weekends there will be a big crowd but the staff is always friendly, I know they home make everything including their sauces and are happy to answer any questions you might have. Don't expect a diverse menu as it primarily focuses on Birria but the Birria is delicious. The pizza looks amazing but it's huge so I have not tried it. My favorite is the quesadilla but everything is good. The atmosphere is nice with a few other food trucks nearby

My favorite place to visit when I'm out is San Antonio! Literally go all three days that they are open, the food is amazing!! My favorites have to be the birria pizza, birra ramen & there agua fescas! Definitely worth the wait. Also love the vibe and how they make everything so family friendly, the seating the little games!! Everything! 10/10 recommend! Can't wait to go back!

Came here for dinner in a Saturday bright and if there is a line of people waiting to me that speaks volumes about the food. Ordered mini tacos, queso taco, torta, and a big quesadilla. The red salsa is HOT but so good and the queso taco I wish it was a little bit more crispy on the outside but other than that it was good and worth the wait. Will be back to try again!

Birria Tacos con Quesa

Best birria in SA. Damn this was good! The line was long for a truck, but it moved fast! GREAT date night option and seriously, as a birria fan...DAMN. This place cannot come more highly recommend.

First thing first. Check their Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/Supertacowey/) page as they will let you know if they are open. This food truck is constantly called to be at various events in the San Antonio area and I know why after catching them open one night. Luckily they are usually in the Alamo Ranch area near Oreilly Auto Parts. This is very important because if you for some reason use the mapping app on their Facebook site it takes you past their actual location. I went with three pastor tacos and an asada quesadilla. They are street tacos so for those of you who do not know they are slightly smaller. They are still packed with flavor and at $1.25 they are more than worth the money. So go ahead and look under your car seats or that change cup to treat yourself. There was plenty of pork goodness overflowing from my tacos and when I asked for extra cilantro I was happy to see that they were not stingy with the greenery. The quesadilla was nice and you got plenty for the money. You have the option to get beans on it at no extra cost. I would recommend getting the salsa on the side to get a taste of the spice level first. It is not on their menu you see on Yelp but they also offer horchata also in a very large cup. Refreshing and just with enough cinnamon so it is not overbearing. The operators of this food truck are very nice and you cannot go wrong with any of their menu items. Yes I am saying that despite only going there once but the line I saw the day I went speaks for itself.

I really enjoyed the birria tacos from here! Their consomé is so good. If you portion it correctly you will be able to freeze some and make your own tacos later on! Personally I do not enjoy the waste full packaging and outdoor sitting. Over all very tasty, and no doubt I will be going back! (Already have)

The food was AMAZING! We were craving for Birria and decided to come here. We like Birria and this place will not disappoint. Everything was on point, including the Fresca. The service was also a plus. You won't be disappointed!

Best birria I've had so far. We usually grab two big birria pizzadillas for our Family and they are always top notch and filling.

Birria was lacking a lot of flavor. The consume was okay but shouldn't have to depend on it. If only it tastes as good as it looks.

We ordered the half chicken ($11), and I was honestly surprised by how juicy and moist it still was inside. The outside had a wonderful smoky charcoal flavor, and the marinade was flavorful all the way through. It also came with rice, corn tortillas, red and green salsa, grilled jalapeño, lime, and grilled onion, so it was a really filling meal for the price. We also tried the Bean Burger ($9.79), which was a fun combination of a beef patty, refried beans, cheese, chipotle sauce, and pico de gallo. I enjoyed it, although I personally would have loved a thicker layer of beans. The green salsa was SO good that I ended up buying an extra container for about $5 to take home. The restaurant itself is very casual and no-frills, with a big charcoal grill that really adds to the atmosphere--you can see and smell the chicken cooking. It feels much more like a local neighborhood spot than a polished tourist restaurant. Service was also very friendly and attentive. Even though we arrived late, we never felt rushed, and our server checked on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed. I would absolutely come back for the chicken and green salsa.

Service was fast and attentive, searing took a little bit but this place is always busy so expect a short wait. The atmosphere was bustling with customers and hungry folks.

The chorizo and ranchero sauce really made it stand out. The Mexican street corn on the side might have been even better. That stuff is seriously addicting like crack. I could have eaten a bowl of it by itself. Definitely a place I'd come back to.

Now listen I enjoy a good mood, but this setting went a little past moody. It was DARK dark. They could definitely bump those lights up about two settings and still keep all the ambiance. lol Thankfully, the food and service needed no adjustments. Our waiter Stephen was really nice, attentive and quick throughout our visit. Thanks for taking good care of our table! We tried the paella and steak fajitas, and everything came out nice and hot. Both were enjoyable, but we also need to talk about those spicy mango and watermelon margaritas because the drinks definitely DELIVERED. Flavor was there, and so was the pour. Overall, we had a good experience. Nice River Walk location, hot and tasty food, great drinks and friendly service. Just turn those lights up enough for me to admire the meal before I eat it.
