Tender barbacoa tacos on vibrant homemade tortillas
"Known for barbacoa and fresh off a recent Michelin Bib Gourmand nod, this Cherrywood food truck served me a Quesabarbacha loaded with succulent beef, gooey cheese, cilantro, onion, and salsa verde tucked into a flour tortilla; flavorful and satisfyingly greasy without being too messy, it was an ideal on-the-go bite and a great way to start the weekend." - Cat Cardenas
"Tacos, agua frescas, and more from a 2024 Michelin Bib Gourmand winner make this a standout stop." - H. Drew Blackburn
"We really like when places focus on doing one thing exceptionally well, and at La Santa Barbacha, barbacoa takes center stage. The tender shredded beef is slow-cooked and intensely aromatic, and really pops with the bright contrast of fresh cilantro and white onions. Tacos are the focus here, and they’re served on bright green and red tortillas. You can also get the barbacoa on sopes, in chilaquiles bowls, and in quesadilla form. Whatever vessel you choose, you’ll want to add some fiery habanero salsa that adds a fruity and very spicy punch into each bite. What to get: Barbacoa tacos; Quesabarbacha" - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion

"It’s all about barbacoa at this Cherrywood truck. You can’t go wrong with the original barbacoa taco, but the Benito taco, featuring pinto beans, barbacoa, chicharrones, an avocado slice, and queso fresco crumbles, is also great. There are loads of outdoor tables to soak up the sun with that taco order. Pickup and delivery orders can be placed online." - Nadia Chaudhury
