There's no better chicken tacos or tamales than what you will find here. There hasn't been a single item ordered that I wasn't completely and utterly blown away by. They have the most tender and juicy chicken paired with the warm and slightly chewy yet crispy soft corn tortillas. I mean wow. I'm from the Chicagoland area and I'd say I've been fortunate enough to have amazing Mexican food. But this place ranks one of the highest in my book. And it's in central fricken INDIANA??? Idc. Absolutely the best place in town. Period. Not to mention the service is perfect. The team there is always greeting you with a smile, and it seems they really remember their customers and people. Gotta love that kind of hospitality in a town that notoriously lacks good service. These guys truly know how to go the extra mile and make your week UPDATE: I tried their flaming hot Cheeto birria bombs two days ago and I haven't been able to stop thinking about them. They were the most perfect texture of crunch to birria Mac and cheese ratio. One of my new favorite foods, which is wild because I've never been a fan of Mac and cheese bites. These are just. Unreal read more

Now this is truly a hidden gem! Who knew you'd need to go to Lafayette Indiana for some of the best burria tacos around! The most tender, tasty meat I've ever had! Super quick service and made to perfection. My mouth is watering just writhing this review! read more

Not just the best birria in town, the best birria EVER. They do no skimp on the meat! No matter what birria dish you order, expect a lot of meat! They have a fixed menu with items like birria tacos and birris quesadillas, but then they offer a variety of daily special like birria tamales or birria ramen. Expect anything you order to be exceptional! Go early or the lines will be crazy and they will sell out! read more

I was seriously blown away by the wicked food shack, some of the best birria tacos I've ever had! It's completely drive-through so I would keep in mind that you might have to wait a little long, but after we ordered, the food out very quickly! The tacos have a perfect crisp on the outside tortilla and the flavor of the birria is so on point and perfect fatty. We couldn't resist and had some in the parking lot first before taking everything home to eat the street corn is also amazing and everything is super reasonably priced! Would be incredible if they had a sit down location - hopefully in the future! Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Price: 5/5 Ambience: N/A read more

Pretty good. The birria was very tender and flavored well. I had it in a quesadilla. The red and green sauces that came with it were blah to me. The esquite (street corn in a cup) tasted great, but I feel like the ratio was off. More corn needed. My husband did carry out so I wasn't there, but he said the employees were nice. read more

GAS!!!!!!!! Best hidden gem in Lafayette!! My only suggestion for improvement would be to open 24/7 so that we can enjoy this food at any time! Get the birria fries, they will make you slap your mama, your grandmama, and your great-grandmama three generations back!! read more

Mostly birria so if your looking for other stuff you'll be disappointed but that's not a bad thing because their birria is the best I've had anywhere the quesadilla and tacos never miss when I'm hungry! Service is typically fast. read more

Great Birra Taco at a great price. I go often and the service is quick. Limited menu but what they serve is taste.

As the name implies, this place is a little shack. Not much to look at. They have walk-up and drive thru ordering. There is no dining area, but they do have a couple of raggedy picnic tables just outside the drive thru pick up window. The tables really need to be replaced. Like, really, really. There is tons of parking available in the surrounding strip mall parking lot. The staff there was very friendly and explained everything to me, in detail. She said that they shifted to a smaller menu because the lines were getting too long, cars were lined up in the street. I was like wow, this food must be good. They have quesadillas, burritos, tacos and other Mexican food. No burgers. They were very proud of their birria. They told me that they are not open most days just to do prep of the meat. For the record, they are only open Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. I ordered a cup of their street corn and a birria quesadilla (I mean, I just had to after all the hype). It took about 5 minutes or so to get my food. I had a long drive ahead so, i just set up camp on the picnic tables. My food was fresh hot and delicious. The birria meat lived up to the hype and was packed with flavor. The street corn was very cheesy and tasty as well. My meal was very filling. I had it for lunch and skipped diner. This is a little hole in the wall that is only open on a limited basis. A few days a week and only for a few hours. They have a friendly staff and some good food. read more

The food was amazing. Had the Birria Quesadilla and the street corn with a house made Horchata. Everything was fresh and well made. The menu was pretty simple. They only make a few things, but they make them very well. The line of cars was always 5-9 cars deep, and it moved quickly. 5 stars, I will definitely eat here again! read more

Seriously the best in town! The food is absolutely incredible. The specials are always changing and almost always great! The staff meets you with a smile at the window to take your order and they are super happy to answer any questions you have. The building is situated in the middle of a parking lot in what used to be an old drive through coffee shop. There are a couple benches to sit outside if you want, but plan on this being a to go run for sure. The hours are not your usual hours and when they sell out they close for the day. If you want to make sure you get in on this, and trust me you do, show up early! read more

The food is always amazingly tasty. The service is quick and always friendly. A lot of choices to choose from! I love this place.

This little shack has some of the best food! I don't go pick up the food but I was told the birria tacos with queso are a must! And yes they were! It's a drive through place, not sure how long it takes to get your food but they update on Instagram when they run out for the day. They have hours but will close once they sell out so be sure to follow them for updates. read more

We've been wanting to try their burgers for a few weeks now, but their opening hours are a little unusual so it's been closed whenever we've gone (call ahead!). We finally made it on a Saturday around 11.30am but realised that on Saturdays they only serve one item (and that's till they run out) - Mexican Birria. This is a stew that is normally made with lamb, but here they serve it with beef. You can have it in different styles: over fries, in a cup, as a taco or quesadilla. We decided to try it over fries (also comes with queso, guac, jalapeños). The beef is very tender and resembles pulled meat. The birria reminded me of Indian beef curries that I've had but not as spicy. The combo of the birria over the fries was yummy. The guac in particular was fantastic and I liked that they didn't go crazy with the queso - just the right amount. Overall, this is a yummy dish and worth trying if you've never had it before, but I can't say I loved it. We will definitely be going back to try their burgers which so many people seem to love. Service was great and the staff were super helpful. read more

I drove by a couple of weeks ago and saw a new tenant in the old shack, and I knew I had to stop in. After hearing a client talking about the food, that sealed it. Nothing fancy, the Wicked Food Shack is just that, a shack serving wickedly good food. To order, you either use the walk-up window or drive-thru. The menu is fairly simple with burgers, hot dogs, tenderloin, fries, tacos, burritos, esquite (Mexican corn in a cup, I got to know it as elotes in Texas), and other goodies. The menu is ever expanding - look for some dessert items in the future. I had the stuffed burger, which comes with fresh cut fries. Cheddar cheese and chopped bacon are stuffed inside a hamburger patty and then cooked to perfection. Normally I don't order bacon on a burger because I don't get a good bite on a slice of bacon due to my weird uneven teeth. With the chopped bacon stuffed in the patty, I got all the bacon taste in each bite. No need for condiments on this burger, the juices do it all. The thick fries are freshly cut, and the interior steams while in the fryer. The exterior is crispy while fluffy on the inside. I also had the chili cheese fries. The same fresh cut fries are slathered with cheese sauce and house made chili. Although not as spicy as I prefer, this chili will fit in well with the local palate. These fries would be a great snack when it's 10 degrees out. The Wicked Food Shack is going into my lunch and dinner rotation, if just for the burgers and fries. I'm going to have to work my way through the menu. read more

Very much enjoyed their friendly service and outstanding food. Loved their tocos . The nachos were very good but so large that two could easily share. Wish they had a ground beef alternative and a larger menu. I would highly recommend. Be sure to get there early as they run out of favorite selections. read more

I have seen reviews for this place so we decided to try it out. This is take out only with a few tables outside. Here are out take aways! #1 the line was wrapped around the building and then some! That indicates good food #2 the person taking our order was so informative and answered all our questions. (We walked up & ordered/ plenty of parking) #3 they gave us extra dipping sauce (the juice the meat is cooked in) and it was so good! #4 the meat was WOW so tender and delicious! We had never had Birria meat but it has such good flavor. #4 you can tell everything is authentic because the taste is so good & fresh! #5 people love it! We had 2 people strike up a conversation with us while we waited for our food. They were telling us what we needed to try next time. #6 we will be back again & again! read more

This place has fed me all quarantine and will continue to be a staple for years to come. Local and convenient. By far, the best menu item is the fresh jalapeño poppers. They are not for the weak as the heat is intense! I switch between the stuffed burger, the nachos and the other burgers they offer a lot. They have pulled pork nachos which are a favorite. Amazing owners who put heart into each order!! Victor does a great job! Next, I want to try their mangonadas! read more

I've been wanting to try this place after it was recommended by a coworker. It did not disappoint! I went on a Saturday and their special was a birria burrito with rice. They ran out of rice when we were there and substituted for fries, which I didn't mind. Be sure to check out their IG and Facebook page for updates on specials! They operate on Wednesdays 11-4pm and Saturdays and Sundays 10-4pm, but typically sell out before 4pm especially when the weather is nice!! I highly highly recommend. I can't wait to try other specials! read more

Food was the best ive eaten in town! Wow amazing for a drive thru! Have come back for seconds thirds pretty much every week since!

The food here is beyond great this was one of my main places to eat when I was pregnant. Top favorites MUST TRY!!!

My first time finally trying this place! Well worth the wait. Small menu, but the food is really well made. The birria and consome is incredible. My friend loved his quesadilla. We got free corn with our order and it was really good! The jalapeños were not spicy enough for me, but they were fresh and had a nice little crunch. Homemade ranch was a good sauce for the jalapeños. I will be back for more tacos soon! read more

Ok, so I've driven by this place so many times and never considered it. Don't be like me, stop and check it out! When I heard that they have California burritos on their menu, I had to get one. I was not disappointed! The burrito had a generous amount of meat (Pastor for me), rice, lettuce, pico, guacamole, and French Fries! The taste was amazing, but it was wrapped a little sloppily. My teenagers enjoyed their nachos supreme, and breaded tenderloin. We called our order ahead of time, and it was ready in 15 minutes. I'm glad we did, because when we arrived to pickup, the order line was 4 cars deep (at 5pm on a Thursday!). This is totally going into our takeout rotation, there is something for everyone on their menu. The lady working the window (and phone) was super friendly and cheerful. read more

On the surface, Wicked Food Shack looks very missable, I mean... hand written menu, total staff is two guys, location is a tiny building in parking lot... but boy can appearances be deceiving. The main event here is the burgers. The Wicked Burger boasts a really tasty hamburger patty, pulled pork and bacon. I know, right? The fries were tasty and plentiful. We also tried a jalapeño burger, which was great. The menu looked great, too, with a chili dog that looks to set the bar for chili dogs, and all sorts of other tasty odds and ends. And to boot, we ate there on National Burger Day. Only in America, folks. Only in America. read more

This little hole in the wall is sitting in the parking lot in front of Big Lots. The food was amazing. Their tacos will blow your mind and once you dunk that corn tortilla into the consume, your mind melts with the combined flavors. The menu is loaded with wonderful food and make sure you grab an ear of their corn. I have to admit that my eyes have been open. Drop in and do yourself a favor; stop in and blow your mind. read more

The service is awesome and delicious food every time. Not to mention super fast service. Highly recommend!!!

Do not let the shack in an empty parking lot deter you, these tacos are the real deal. Only open Wed, Sat and Sun 11-4 so you need to plan when you're going because there's a long line and when they are out of something they don't make anymore. It feels like such a club and novelty when you go. The Birria tacos and street corn are my go to order and pour the rest of your consomé in the street corn after dipping your tacos in it. Also love the green salsa that comes with. read more
