Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only — generally easy before 7pm, tougher late night. Look for metered spots on Main and nearby side streets.
Dress code: Super casual. Hoodies, sneakers, post-night-out fits — all good.
Noise level: Moderate-to-loud depending on the hour. You can chat, but expect truck noise and late-night energy.
Weekend wait: 10–20 minutes, especially after 9pm when the rush hits.
Weekday lunch: Not applicable — the truck typically opens evenings and later.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Very limited — the menu is built around beef birria. Expect minimal to no veggie alternatives.
Vegan options: None — cheese and beef dominate the menu, and substitutions aren’t standard.
Gluten-free options: Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but there’s no dedicated GF prep area, so cross-contamination is possible.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Great for a fun, low-stress, late-night date — messy, cheesy tacos that spark conversation. Not ideal if you’re aiming for a fancy, polished vibe.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes — there are no reservations. It’s a food truck with limited standing space and a few sidewalk tables, so just walk up and order.
Is it kid-friendly? Suitable for older kids who love tacos and can handle late-night crowds. No high chairs, no indoor seating, and portions skew indulgent.
Best For
Better for: Super cheesy quesabirria with a richer, darker broth than most trucks in the Fashion District. Ideal for late-night cravings, quick bites, and birria purists.
Skip if: You want vegetarian or vegan options, a sit-down experience, or a quiet meal — other taquerías or dine-in spots may suit those needs better.
