    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!

    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!

    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!

    Lourdes A.

    Yum! So incredibly happy to have found birria tacos close by! These tacos are awesome and the consome is a rich, flavorful broth that is great on its own too. Do try the aguas frescas as well, it's both beautiful and tasty!

    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.

    I have been here several times. It's one of those staple tourist places that you have to visit when…read moreyou are in town. Service is fast, place is decently clean for the foot traffic, the servers all look happy and eager to work. I ordered tortilla soup, I usually like it with a cup of rice and avocado like most places serve it. However, I definitely think this is a safe Mexican food restaurant when it comes to not overdoing it with spices and the extra stuff. My soup had a decent amount of chicken. I had a mimosa, loved that they used fresh orange juice. Flour tortillas were delicious! Before heading out you need to have the sweet bread!! So goooodd!

    People say when in San Antonio, do like the San Antonian's. Nobody really says that. I mean, I just…read moredid, but I also just made it up. With that being said, let's make up a review. Except I'm not actually making the review up, I've been to the place. Both San Antonio and the restaurant moments away from being reviewed. I'm always down for solid Mexican food. It's always pretty damn good. I mean, at the pure base of things, it's basically the same few ingredients, just different vessels to get it to your mouth. I'm never bad about that. I love transportation. Mi Tierra was a pretty great looking place. Plenty of space, a nice outside waiting area, plus a bakery. I have never been to a place with a bakery that I didn't like. It seemed like a very authentic place, and that's coming from a resident of Michigan. A resident that eats Taco Bell. A resident who eats Taco Bell and think's THAT'S authentic Mexican. The first thing I noticed was that this place did not seem to serve burritos. Not a marker really for me, but it was something I've never came across before. I also thought that you were stuck ordering enchiladas or tacos in a meal type of setting. Upon further questioning, you can order a la cart. That was a relief. I ended up ordering the enchiladas Verdes because sometimes I ignore my color palate and go for green. And because I can't just stop eating one form of meat, cheese, and sauce, I ordered a taco. Actually, I just ordered a taco because I wanted a dryer enchilada. Or did I order the enchiladas because I wanted a wetter taco...I don't know anymore. Anywho, I ground beef, American style taco. Now, I've always been a big fan of chips and salsa. Some salsa hits, some miss. Some salsa is pureed and is basically red water. Some salsa is just a full tomato. I like my salsa like I like my orange juice. With extra calcium. Wait. Mild pulp. That's it. This salsa pretty much hit those notes. Had good flavor and a little spice left to linger. The main course came out and everything looked delicious. Green enchiladas looked exactly like I expected. However, it took me a moment to realize I was not looking at a burrito...but instead, my taco. It was served a peculiar way. wrapped, seam down, with a little bit of the meat on top, pico and lettuce on the outside, next to it. It was a burrito peacocking as a taco. I've never seem this display before, and I have been to many Taco Bell and non-Taco Bell restaurants. The taste was pretty good, though. All the taco flavor in a burrito jacket. The enchiladas were pretty decent, too. Everything tasted like it had all the ingredients and that they were in all the right spots. No doubt about it, I was full after e

    Surprised the wife with a trip to Pan Fila for her favorite hot chocolate and concha. We started…read morewith the Pan Fila Conchota combo that is a combination of the two that is 1/2 gallon of hot chocolate made using a base of Abuelitas with additional cinnamon, and cocoa along with something special. It was delicious! The concha was soft, buttery and flaky, with just the right sweetness. We took home the majority of it and it stayed nice and soft instead of turning hard like so many others. We decided to try several appetizers to go along with our concha to get a wider taste of their food than we would by just ordering a couple entrees. Let me tell you, this was a great idea! We ordered the Tosti-Ceviche Verde, Panela Asado, Mexican Street Corn, and their Spicy Bean Dip. The Ceviche Verde was excellent, the freshness of the fish and shrimp was wonderful with the chipotle mayo and avocado. We chose to have it on the salsa Verde Tostitos and it was all great combination. The Panelo Asado was a completely new dish for us and was extremely good with a savory flavor from the salsa Tlaquepaque that mixed well with the Panela cheese. Their tortillas though not made in house, are made for them and taste like mom made them. The Mexican Street Corn was great and had the perfect bit of char taste from the corn. It was creamy and flavorful, we did think it could use just a tad more lime juice though. The Spicy Bean Dip was very good. You can't go wrong with Oaxaca, Chorizo, and pieces of pork mixed with some mildly spicy beans. Our server was fantastic. She had great recommendations for us, and was quick with checking on our drinks and generally helping us throughout our dinner. The food was prepared quickly, was hot, tasteful and refreshing. We definitely will be going back, and recommend Pan Fila to all of you.
