El Pelavacas Taqueria operates as a late-night taco truck on Broadway, built around birria combos and straightforward meat tacos cooked to order. It’s more practical than polished, but for value-focused birria tacos and caldo after midnight in 10033, it fills a niche the brick-and-mortar spots don’t.
Must-Try Dishes: 3 Birria Tacos and Birria Soup, Caldo De Birria, Birria Tacos
