    Birria tacos

    Best birria tacos I've had here in Sacramento yet! Food truck found on side street off Florin Rd. Simple menu but good quality food. My husband is not one to really voice his opinion when I bring home food from somewhere different. He, too, said they were the best tacos he's had...EVER! We'll definitely be revisiting soon.

    Quesatacos (1 birria & 1 asada)
    Gillian A.

    Mmm quesotacos. Crispy, cheesy goodness. I got one birria quesotaco and one asada quesotaco. I was a bit disappointed with the birria one because I thought the meat would be soaked with delicious consome, but it's straight carnitas-style beef. I much preferred the carne asada quesotaco. Total flavor bomb. Speaking of consome, you must eat the quesotacos with it!! For those who aren't in the know, it's a very flavorful broth (if done right of course.....this place does get it right). A cup of it is complimentary if you buy 4+ tacos. Otherwise, it's $2. Most people dip their quesotacos straight into the consome, but what I like to do is take a bite of the quesotaco and chase it with a sip of consome. Super delicousness (and less messy). Definitely check this taco truck out especially if you want to change it up a bit in terms of getting something else than typical street tacos! *Cash only; address here is accurate (iPull-Upull Auto Parts parking lot)

    Exceptional food, A+ customer service, and located in a good area with good ambiance. We loved our order and look forward to returning for more good food!

    Food was bomb I ordered a chicken quesadilla and the 4 birria taco special ... first off the quesadilla was an entire meal in itself it was huge and packed with so much meat and cheese and the tacos?? The tacos were thick had lots of meat and very juicy 100/10 would recommend

    Bad picture...but located in upull upull parking lot. Corner of Gerber & Stockton blvd

    Wow! Best taco truck I've ever experienced. Great food, big portions, low prices, friendly service, and the order came out quickly. - What more could you want? The birria quesa tacos and birria quesadilla were absolutely delicious. Even better than I've had at fancy sit down restaurants like Maya's or Mayahuel in DT sac. I was also very impressed with their pastor taco. I never order pasor because most places make it super tough and chewy, but here it was so juicy and tender! If you're in the South Sac area, they are parked at the uPull-iPull parking lot. Corner of Gerber Rd & Stockton blvd. A true hidden gem. Cheers!

    We were looking at the street food app and found The12Shack. It was so good. The service was very fast. They will customize orders. The smoothies were very good and when they say large they mean large. I got the California burrito and my husband got the Asada fires. The guacamole on the fries was a little spice. The California burrito was very big I could only eat half. Will defiantly go back again.

    Small amount of reviews?!I have to review this spot. Check out their IG @the_12_shack for location and times. We also contact them through DMs for any catering orders/questions. Amazing customer service. My sister and I have been going here for catering since we found them because tacos are easy to serve and they're delicious! If you haven't had birria tacos well heads up that they are slightly oily because they consists of the braised meat inside a corn tortilla that's been pan-fried in the fat that sits at the top of the birria. The tacos are amazing by its self,but go ahead and ask about a bowl of consume on the side for you to dip your tacos into. Best birria tacos ever!They're flavorful and filling. Packed with so much flavor.

    Asada Tacos with cilantro, red onions and lime. No roasted chili pepper.

    Asada Tacos - Great portions Consome with Birria - okay Quesadilla with Birria - Fire Only complaint I had was the consome was given to me warm and not scolding hot. The register girl is cute too.

    Carne Asada Tacos
    Erika T.

    First time here! I ordered 2 small carne asada tacos and it was great! along with the customer service! It was very quick and only took 5 - 7 mins for 4 orders. I would say the tacos were more on the juicy side than the dry side. Although, the only reason why it was juicy was due to the splash of lime. I would love to come back if it was closer to where I live, but it was worth the drive!

    This place has the BEST MEXICAN FOOD I'VE EVER EATEN!…read more I don't want to leave such a great review because I can tell it's getting more and more and not customers as the word spreads! Then I'm afraid the process will go up and there will be long lines!! Haha!! I want this place ALL TO MYSELF!! The salsa bar is always clean and filled! They have staff monitoring it during rush hours to insure everything stays topped off. The grilled onions and jalapeños are delicious and the salsas.... I'd go just for that salsa bar!! Their Micheladas (I order with light Modelo) are rimmed with the sweet Mexican tajin (I think it's called)...orange slice, cucumber, and 2 prawns! But the star is the Quesabirria, the consommé! Oh dear god have mercy. I can't eat large volumes and this is the only place that will let me order one. The consomne has been cooked and simmered forever and it's always got good chunks of super tender pulled beef. I can go on but, like I said, I want this place all to myself!! Even my son and his gf come up from SF to order the burritos, which they say are the BEST they've ever had! So happy to see such a GREAT RESTAURANT on NORTHGATE and JUST a couple miles from my home!! Yaaaay!!! Every Friday is MY day to treat myself to this EXCELLENT MEXICAN FOOD TAQUERIA!! I want to try EVERYTHING on the menu!! Especially the soups and the seafood dishes!! Mui Bueno!!! Gracias!!!!!!

Lots of different salsas and toppings to try. I think the drinks are $7-10. I love this place. I have to drive almost an hour to get here but I try to time it out right if I'm in the area as they open at 6pm though they were serving people earlier one time so maybe they're flexible. The seasoning on both the asada and the pork with pineapple is amazing. They have the pork on the spinning thing so it's super juicy. The asada has a flat grill char. It's just so tasty. I tried the baked potatoes for the first time at this location and it was a little bland but they add packets of salt. I got home and added things to my liking and it's one of my favorite meals. I get it with carne asada. It can feed multiple people/ servings. The pina was delicious but I imagine it may get watered down throughout the night. Street parking only as they're on the corner of a Main Street.

The first time I came here I had the stuffed baked potato , it had butter and then they put a ton of steak on it with all the fixings.... That was large enough for two meals, they serve it with some corn tortillas so you can make some potato tacos... they have a bunch of condiment that you can choose from and load up to take to go. Second visit we got the two tortoise for $15 on Tuesdays .... The tortillas were very tasty and the cheese skirt around it was interesting. They have an assortment of drinks I always get purple Mexican Jamaica drink... so good and plenty on their large serving. Everyone is nice the service is great , I highly suggest for anybody even if you're not a taco stand goer try this one, you will not be disappointed!
