"This weekends-only food truck launched as an informal food business during the earlier days of the pandemic — tapping into a very on-trend phenomenon taking place on social media at the time: quesabirria. This thrifty operation is cash-only (though it takes app payments, too). The primary focus is on the fiery, red stewed meat, customers can find quesabirria fresh off the griddle, cups of birria ramen, asada fries, and a selection of glass bottled Jarritos. Oh, and the beef is all halal." - Courtney Burk
"Detroit has been an underrated leader in the Midwest birria game for generations, but in 2021, Antojitos Southwest landed what is likely the city’s first birria-specific food truck at the intersection of Wabash and Bagley in Corktown. The operators focus on birria de res dishes, including quesabirria (with consomé for an extra charge) and birria ramen, which combines the best of both worlds — a cup of noodles with broth and birria meat. Carne asada fries and drinks are also available. Antojitos Southwest also makes for the ideal pitstop after completing a leisurely walk or bike ride along the Southwest Greenway nearby or after enjoying a tour of Michigan Central." - Serena Maria Daniels

"This weekends-only food truck launched as an informal food business during the earlier days of the pandemic — tapping into a very on-trend phenomena taking place on social media at the time: the art of birria. Among the very few operations in the city whose primary focus is on the fiery, red stewed meat, customers can find quesabirria fresh off the griddle, cups of birria ramen, asada fries, and a selection of glass bottled Jarritos. Oh, and the beef is all halal." - Serena Maria Daniels
"The buzz-worthy Antojitos Southwest food truck landed on the corner of Wabash and Bagley in 2021 and with it, its popular quesabirrias. Using halal beef, these griddled, these tasty tacos are available with consomé for $1 extra. The truck is open for operation from noon to 8 p.m. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday." - Serena Maria Daniels
