La tunita 512

This place is delicious! I saw several Austin influencers posting about this spot and I've been wanting to try for a while so I finally did and I loved it! I had the Birria tacos with consome and the taco was flavorful, had delicious corn tortillas, loved the freshness of the onion and cilantro and they give you a green salsa too that was great. I also tried the Birria ramen and I am a basic and boring ramen eater but if you are someone who likes special ramen you will love it, it has great flavor but just not my cup of tea. Great place and definitely going back especially with such great prices!

Worth the hype. Worth the wait! Try everything they have on their limited beef birria menu and you won't be disappointed. Fresh corn tortillas that are a little larger than you'd expect. Soooo delicious! Will be back. Online ordering available, but give them an extra 30. Especially on weekends. They do run out sometimes.

So delicious! I had birria ramen, birria taco, and queso taco takeout. All of them are amazing. The broth of the ramen was so thick and full of flavors. I will absolutely visit again soon.

This place is a delightful spot for street taco enthusiasts. Their tacos are crispy, delicious, and bursting with flavor. We tried the Grilled Cheese Birria Tacos, and they were delicious.

New place for me on the southeast side of Austin. It's a taco truck called LA Tunira 512.very limited menu. Basically your choice is birra (taco, burrito, quesadilla, or in grilled cheese which I want to try). I obviously had the tacos and WOW. Really good. Basically the birra is perfect. Tender. Juicy. Ideal. I asked about the orange colored tortillas, which are also sublime. Orange because they are home made and fried in the excess grease from making the birra. I rarely give five stars on a first visit, but this is it.

I ordered birria taco and consommé. Taco is great, but with the dipping it is phenomenal. Service is very friendly. The wait time for taco is about 10-15 mins. They have four tables for customers, so might also need to wait for a table.

The Birria Grilled cheese sandwich is literally the most delicious sandwich I have ever eaten! I would literally drive to Austin 2 times a week from SA to eat it again! Great customer and phenomenal food!

Queso Birria tacos were amazing with the consommé. The green and red sauce complimented it perfectly. I think this place would be way more popular if they opened beyond 6PM. Even 9PM. Dinner time is the TIME for tacos. Def would come again next time in Austin

My go to birria place in Austin!! I've had the quesobirria tacos, birria ramen, and birria grilled cheese...all delicious! It's a food truck located next to a gas station so there's plenty of parking! UPDATE - this place seems to be closed temporarily or permanently

Food: I took my first bite of the queso birria taco and immediately went "WOW"! These birria tacos are incredible!!! So good and packed with flavor! I ordered two regular birria, one queso birria, and consume to try them out. I highly recommend each thing I tried. The consume was honestly an added bonus because the meat is so beautifully marinated. I really liked the queso taco, but the cheese is definitely not needed. Prices and Service: The prices were solid. The birria are $3 each and birria with queso is $3.50. Well worth the price. The serving sizes were pretty large. The service was speedy. I got my food hot and ready a few mins after ordering.

First, they were amazing. Then, they were sold out a lot. Then their trailer closed around June -- by August, I was worried they were closed forever! But... I was still following their IG page. THEN, I found a new birria truck closer to my house that makes super tasty birria, and had resigned myself to the horrible possibility that my original love (LT512) was another casualty of the pandemic... THENNNN today, I saw a "new" birria spot in my IG feed, called "PALO SECO"... unfamiliar name, but the photos looked vaguely familiar. I clicked to their page and found the same social media feed as the previous La Tunita 512, same address and all! So I took my hangry booty over there & ordered my classic faves (birria/ queso tacos) & added on a birria grilled cheese since I hadn't had one there before! ...but the birria tacos weren't the same as I've grown accustomed... It wasn't brothy, shredded brisket like before. What changed & WHY?!? Weirdly enough, the grilled cheese DID have the traditional shredded brisket I'd been expecting on my tacos. Mmmm & Hmm. Long story short, I'd love for the owners to update their Yelp business name listing to match IG once more, and tell their loving patrons more about their menu changes. TBH, prior to their re-brand, I thought they had the best birria in town... But now, I've had better elsewhere, and I'm a lil disheartened & shook that the GOAT changed their recipes... It's still pretty good, but it's not what I remember or have epic cravings for anymore...

First time trying La Tunita and WOW!!! Best Birria con queso taco I've had! And it pairs perfectly with consume. They recently added al pastor to the menu; however, when we arrived around 4:30pm on a Saturday they were sold out. Lesson learned to try earlier next time! We recently visited Los Angeles and tried consume for the first time at Carnitas el Momo, and have been craving it since. We're so lucky to have found a place in Austin that serves delicious consume (and tacos)!!! Definitely worth the drive South for these tacos and consume!

I was expecting these birria tacos to be amazing based on the Yelp rating; however, they were still just very basic, in my opinion. Also, I was expecting them to come with cheese, but I guess the "queso taco" is what you need to order if you want the birria with cheese in it. This is a good place to get a quick and average birria taco, but don't set your expectations too high.

FYI this place has renamed themselves and can now be found under Palo Seco 512. Rest assured it is still the same delicious menu and is located at the same spot. I have been to this food truck several times because it truly is that good. The birria tacos and grilled cheese are a 10/10 must for me. The grilled cheese is perfectly toasted and SO cheesy. Highly recommend picking up for a quick yet amazing lunch!

They discriminate heavily and will make you wait excessive wait times to order and to receive your order (they'll have that mug sitting in the window letting it get cold). It's honestly unfortunate because without the racism this place is pretty good.

GREAT AND I MEAN GREAT BIRRIA! Definitely will be making a trip back here! Easy to order and my stomach is satisfied!!

Brought my parents here to try the birria tacos while they were in town, and my mom kept saying "Man, those tacos were good!" for a day and a half after we ate. I definitely have to agree! Prices are incredible for what you get as well. Everything was delicious, from the incredibly tender, juicy beef to the fried tortillas to the consumme. I honestly can't think of anything I would have changed. Just absolute perfection. We each got one with and one without cheese... In future, I'd go without cheese on the birria taco, and get one plain cheese taco. The cheese was fabulous, but it kind of competed with the birria taste, so I feel like each would be better on its own. There's a reason this place has 5/5 stars from pretty much every reviewer, so if you're wondering where to get birria tacos, this is it!

Palso Seco (formerly Latunita 512), hands down serves not only the best birria tacos I've ever had, but the best tacos I've ever had, period. Any time I go literally anywhere else in Austin and order birria tacos I am left with an empty feeling of disappointment all thanks to the HIGH standard that Palo forces me to hold all other establishments to. Much like how amazing pho begins with an authentic broth that's made with care; so to are amazing birria tacos firstly determined by the consumé that they are served with. This broth/consumé is teeming with flavor and spice, and it truly gives me a "chicken soup on a cold day" feeling that just can't be emulated easily. The meat is also incredibly tender, and the way that they fry the cheese to act as an extra shell within the main shell puts these tacos (at just $3 a piece) above and beyond any other competitor. Their ramen, grilled cheese, and especially "pizza style" quesadilla are all also at the very same level if not higher than their birria & queso tacos. Of all the places I have eaten at in Austin, I dare to say that this spot is at the very top of the list.

Best Birria tacos I've ever had. Everything is perfect and customer service is great. The staff is so sweet. I love the consome here, highly recommend.

I absolutely love this place. They never miss. I drive all the way from near Cedar Park to get these birria tacos. I will forever be a fan. By far the best birria tacos and great prices . PS. Yall gotta open another location on the North side

La Tunita 512 has the BEST birria! I have tried places in Austin and Dallas, but no place has beat them. You have to make sure to get there decently early though because they run out pretty fast.

I saw this food truck on Yelp walking distance from my hotel and thought "so many 5 star reviews" so I thought I'd give it a try! it was so good! First I ordered the birria taco with consume and meat for dipping -- it was so delicious (and I had leftover consume) so I decided to get the queso taco too. I was shocked to find out that the queso taco also had meat in it but it was so delicious! When I went to Austin years ago I was not that impressed with the Mexican food here but this spot changed my tune -- certainly better than any taco places in Chicago (where I'm from). They take card. They have no drinks but there is a convenience store next store that you can buy them at. They have picnic tables for sitting.

As I am still on the hunt to find the best tacos in Austin, La Tunita 512, came across my search as it was close to one of my work locations. La Tunita 512, is a food truck, right along side a gas station. It's a nice & quaint area. They have patio tables & shaded seating! I ordered three of their Queso birria tacos & consume, with extra onions & cilantro on the tacos and in the consume. I spent around $13 dollars total without the tip. Unless they have different togo packaging in the future, this is an eatery you'd have a better time eating there rather than taking it togo. They placed the tacos in a taco plate & wrapped it in a plastic film to cover it. This wasn't a huge problem, but I was eating on the go and the plate wasn't substantial enough to hold the tacos. This resulted in the plate semi-falling apart. These were BIG birrira tacos. They are the size birrira tacos that I'm used to receiving back home in California. I added their red salsa and lime to the first taco and took a dip into the consume... WOAH was all I could say. The first bite was quite literally an explosion of flavor in my mouth. I was not expecting it to be that juicy (this IS a good thing). I was also surprised by how crispy the tacos shells stayed! I was driving for about 20 minutes before I could actually park and eat the tacos. La Tunita 512 definitely has some of the best, If not the best birrira tacos that I've had since I moved to texas. Do not let this establishment be left unseen! I'll be stopping by here often since it's so close to work!

Probably the best taco I've ever had. No need to get the Queso. Their og birria is unreal. So juicy full of flavor and a tasty crispy tortilla. A+ spot will definitely be back.

A Honest "Rey Eats" review: $ May 20, 2023 The prices are reasonable. Me and my girlfriend got the ramen ($9), three Birria tacos ($3 each), and a consommé ($2). The ramen is on the salty side but a great portion (will fill you up). The consommé is okay, and the birria tacos and their green salsa is off the charts! Definitely would come back but only get their birria tacos. Overall, a great way to satisfy your craving for tacos! Additional notations: There is a good amount of people that eat here. Me and my girlfriend went around 1500 and got a great seat outside the food truck. It is located next to a little gas station so parking seemed limited. Outside eating only!

One of the easiest five stars I've given! Probably could try anything on the menu and you'd be happy .. definitely try the birria tacos.. both the mulitas and quesadillas were amazing, too. They all are incredibly flavorful and you will not be disappointed! The ramen was good, just don't expect quality noodles (more like top ramen noodles). But, with the broth and meat they add, it tastes good. Adding some lime of your own definitely helps! If you're in Austin absolutely give this place a try! Of note it's a food truck at a gas station ;)

Probably the second best birria we've ever had. We did takeout- and all our food was ready just when they said it would be. Picked it up, took it home... So much food... such big portions... So very, very tasty. I know birria is the fad right now with everyone trying to make a version. But when birria is done well it's worthy of all the hype in the world. And this one was done really well. We pretty much had everything on the menu except for the birria ramen. And by the time we finished, you wanna know what was our only regret?... That we didn't get the birria ramen too... Lol. What we got lasted like three meals- it was so much... but dammit, try the ramen too. Let me know how it goes. So very good...

Wow. Just wow! Worth the birria hype. Worth the wait. I usually Elite rant before my actual food review. Not here. The beef birria is so good. Period! The flavors are just there. It's got some heat and tang, but nothing overpowering. Just a delicious blend of the right kind of Mexican love. The consomé is so darn tasty with a hint of familiar flavors for those that might know them. Like a delicious blend of menudo broth and pozole broth with its own distinct spices. The tacos were so good just as served. The flavors are already in the meat and broth used to dip the tortillas in. With their salsas and lime, they just exploded in my mouth! I was making love sounds during my lone picnic in the park. The queso taco was a last minute addition responsible for the majority of those sounds! Do yourself a favor and get one of those too. Very filling. These beautiful people know what they are doing. Do yourself a favor and jump on the birria taco craze if you're a taco fan. This place is worth the wait. Order online, but add about 20-30 min, especially on the weekends! I was dumb enough to drive around for 40min before eating and I still fell in love with my semi warm food. 2 birria tacos, 1 queso taco and one consome ($11) were plenty for me even with no breakfast. (This means that they travel well for under an hour if insulated.) I got 2 consomé cups, which allows for my leftover tacos.

Almost passed this up while looking for it! It was on the side of a gas station. There were a couple of tables available to sit down (without umbrellas for shade). They accept credit card, Apple Pay and cash. I ordered birria and queso tacos. Both meat had a ton of flavor but was on the drier side. Also, a small complaint were the dried limes given - not a single drop of juice. The tacos were almost as large as my (small-medium) hands. I preferred the queso taco bc the cheese helped balance the dryness. Eating both tacos was way heavier and denser than I'd imagine. Overall, wasn't too bad but not the best I've had.

On the Austin Eater 38 list (as of Feb 2022). 4-4.5 stars, but rounding up for the best tacos I've tried in the Austin area so far (I'm also a visitor, so take this comment with a grain of salt!). They were BUSY on a Saturday, and it was about a 30 minute wait around 1:50pm. La Tunita 152 is a stationary food truck located in the corner of a gas station with the Food Mart. Their menu is short and succinct, with a focus on birria. There was a short line to place our order, but a few groups of people were already waiting for their food. We ended up trying: -Mulita ($4), Quesabirria ($2.50), Queso Taco ($3), Al Pastor Taco, Consommé ($2) [https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Ha--Uc4NnoDpfnRKfhKdJg&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg]: The queso taco was my favorite out of all the dishes, and it was basically a quesabirria with extra melty cheese inside- highly recommended! The mulita was my next favorite, and the cheese was also plentiful. I'd recommend ordering their consommé to dip your birria tacos into and help cut some of the grease- I liked the slight spice in it. The quesabirria and al pastor tacos were good, although not as good as their queso taco or mulita; however, I did like the pineapple in the al pastor. Everything was extremely greasy/oily, but in a flavorful and delicious way. I wouldn't recommend dining here if you're looking for healthy food. -Ramen ($8, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=lCqmyTqxewTndK-rQ3ANLA&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): Not my favorite dish, since it was way too salty for my preference. The noodles were also too thick/chewy- skip! I would come back for their queso taco, mulita, and consommé. There were a few tables set up if you want to dine there, but they weren't the cleanest. A lot of customers brought their own trays and/or ate in their cars. All staff were wearing masks correctly from what I could see. Parking can be challenging, but there are some spots on the semi-grassy patch in front of the food truck as well to the side of the gas station.

The best mulitas and birria tacos around town if you can find it open , now days is been closed every time, seems they still in New Years vacation, bad thing they losing clientele, hopefully they get back in business again .

Bomb delicious Recommend y'all should check that !!! You won't disappointed trust me :-)

I still struggle to understand the birria craze as I've usually found them too dry in the several times and shops I've ordered them from. La Tunita's the first time I've had good birria, and it's all thanks to its big, beefy consommé. Poured over the taco, the consommé elevates the birria into something that is far more tasty and desirable, especially when paired with the crispy and snappy tortila. (The corn tortillas are among the better ones I've had here in ATX) Poured into the ramen, the consommé transforms the cup of instant ramen into a big beefy broth of nooodles. That said, it can't do anything about the nature of the instant noodles and the telltale notes of the instant noodles' seasoning packet that are still present in the broth. So it's not great ramen, it's a decent one with really good broth. As for the other items, the mulita was really terrific. I don't usually get quesotacos, but the combination of the birria, cheese, and the terrific tortillas pressed together really worked well. The al pastor was solid, but I think the birria is the one to get, provided you order the consommé and/or mulita. I was as (un)fortunate to go on a chilly, wet, windy Saturday morning, which meant that there was no line. Service was friendly and efficient, and the prices were reasonable, especially in light of certain shops increasing their already high prices by another 20-30%. On a cold day like this, the birria ramen absolutely hit the spot.

Delicioso! You are missing out if you haven't tried their tacos. Traditional Birria Tacos that are so flavorful. The dipping broth takes the taco to the next level. I could eat them everyday! The queso tacos are also tasty and unique. Who doesn't like fried cheese with meat inside folded and put in a corn tortilla like a baby swaddle? I'll also give a shout out to their green and red sauce. Both pack some heat but don't take away from being able to taste your food. Order online. They have a few tables spaced out if you want to eat onsite. They sell out so don't wait all day!

I heard a lot about this place and I've tried there pop ups! My first time at La tunita and it was delicious ! I recommend ordering one of everything. The tacos are very filling and the consume for dipping is very much necessary! It is an outside and it truly is a hidden sought after gem!! Everyone I know loves this place a must try in Austin!!

I first tried birria tacos at Tacos El Patron in San Francisco and loved them, so when I saw this place on yelp, I had to try it. Both the taco and mulita are delicious, but what truly shines here is the consome. Do not skip it, it's spectacular!

After staring at their IG feed for months, finally got myself over to this truck-next-to-a-gas-station. It would be somewhat easy to miss if it weren't for the fact that it's so damn popular: lots of people standing around (but socially distanced of course), and you've never seen so many cars in a gas station. In other words, get there early. I ordered four quesotacos and two birria consommés. Took almost 40 minutes to finally get my order. Ate one quesotaco and one birria consommé then and there to make sure I got a taste of everything fresh. The tortilla and the edge of the cheese both have a great crisp to it. The quesotaco is definitely a feature to try but it's a LOT, and very greasy. Delicious but I probably wouldn't get through two in a sitting. If you haven't been here before, I would recommend one quesotaco and one regular birria taco. The consommé was FANTASTIC! This really blew me away. Flavor was incredible but also there was SO MUCH meat! I was expecting just a little bit of meat, but it was well loaded up with super tender melty beef. Now I that I know how fantastic the consomme is, I really wish I had gotten the ramen. Next time.

I'd been eyeing La Tunita for about year before finally trying them out. Like most popular food trucks in Austin, you need to get there early to avoid a long line. I showed up at ~12:50 on a Saturday and was 4th in line and by the time I left, the line was around the building - so be prepared! As others have noted, this truck is in a gas station parking lot, so a head's up on having to find parking if you show up later. Now on to the food! 1. Consome is A+ and I enjoyed it just by itself. Personally, I prefer the plain consome over with one with meat. 2. Quesotaco - If you're already committed to tacos, blow out your lunch and upgrade to the quesotaco. Is it healthy? No, of course not. Is it cheesy, crispy, rich and delectable goodness? You betcha 3. Plain Birria - I had to get a couple of plain for comparison and these are just as good. It's gonna get greasy, so bring your wet ones. All in all, La Tunita lives up to the hype! If you're gonna get birria tacos in Austin, might as well try the OG.

We went on a Saturday morning (bold, I know). The wait was 45 mins. We ordered the birria tacos, birria w/ cheese tacos, consome, and we wanted the grilled cheese but it was sold out (at 12pm!). There's very limited seating and my husband waited in the 100 degree weather for 45 mins. Luckily, there are some seats that are in the shade that made it bearable. It's at the side of a gas station, which I didn't know to expect. People are parked in all the places. We saw more people coming for the tacos than the gas. The tacos were really good and bigger than we thought! I will say that after eating one birria taco with cheese, the second one felt really heavy and greasy. Next time, I'll have to try the birria grilled cheese!

I'd been hearing a lot of buzz about these birria tacos--La Tunita 512 has been on my list since the day they opened. But COVID-19 and my going to school in a different state kept us apart for many years. But finally. We have been united. There's something magic about these tacos y'all. The meat's been stewing for hours and hours, the consommé is perfectly seasoned, rich and fatty, yet acidic and balanced. The tortillas are crisped in the fat from the birria on the griddle. Unbelievable. Run don't walk y'all. For real.

Ehh. Overpriced if you ask me. The consommé was really good but the toddler amount they give you for $3 is just rude the tacos weren't that good as far as the flavor. They lacked seasoning but nice amount of meat. The sauce they give is good too the red one was spicier than the green and they didn't give a lime I really wanted to try Birria Tacos and consommé for the first time so I can make it at home, I wouldn't travel 45 minutes for these again. I spent $20 on 5 tacos and 2 tiny cups of consommé (oh and the consommé is $2; if you want meat in it, it's $3) it's literally in a condiment cup, not a bowl lol. I would recommend you give it a try if you're in the area.

Hopped on the bandwagon and went to try this out. A good sign is that within 15 mins of opening, there was a significant crowd in line. Have to say, the birria tacos are the best I've had, but full transparency, I've tried it maybe at 3 or 4 other vendors - food trucks and brick & mortar. We did a sampling of everything. Highly suggest the birria tacos + consome with birria. The Tapatio Ramen is pretty good as well and very filling. The quesotaco and mulita were good but greasy & heavy. Would suggest getting 3x birria tacos and birria consome, then call it a day!

I kept hearing about the awesome Birria tacos at this food truck and they really are tasty. This was my First time trying Birria so I have nothing to compare it to. They were very flavorful and the consommé was a nice added touch to soften the taco. Keep in mind this is a food truck in a shady part of town. I was accosted by at least 3 homeless men panhandling while I waited for my tacos. This is not the place to hang out and enjoy your tacos, just head to your car and eat them There.

Best birria tacos I've ever had. We love this place and come here regularly. We also bring all our out-of-town guests here to try these amazing tacos. Highly recommend.

Was doubting the 5 star review, but after purchasing and trying its definitely well deserved! The price, the size of the taco, the seasoning, the consomé, everything was on spot! Service was good and fast. Definitely coming back for more on my cheat days so glad to have found this place!

Had been eying this spot for a while and finally was able to check it off my taco spot list for ATX. They nailed it so well. Quick service, fair price, and the food was on point. Birria and consommé was so good. Felt part of something sitting around the picnic table as me and they stranger next to me both looked at each other and raised a taco to each other knowing that we were putting down some amazing food. I don't know what's up with that cheese but it brings joy!

After staring at their IG page for months.. finally got to visit the place and see what all the hub bub was about. Location: It is a stand that shares its lot with a gas station. It has a few benches that you can sit at, but It does tend to get busy, so you may have to eat in your car, or take home. Food: Birria has gotten pretty popular over the past few months. For those who have never had it, think French Dip, but taco style. The dip is called Consume. And this place offers this broth, with or without meat. If you are comfortable sharing during these times, I'd just share one consume (the broth you dip your taco in). Or see if you can ask for an extra cup. Or bring one! Food looked beautiful and tasted good. We ordered the birria tacos, the quesotacos, and the consume without meat. Food came in a nice Togo box, where you can rip off the lid and use as a plate. I hate it when my Togo orders have one measly sauce packet, or one dry lime in it. But la tunita did an excellent job making sure I had plenty of salsa and limes! Be sure to grab some paper towels before you leave. Though the food is pretty, it can be messy. So def get some napkins, or bring an extra stash for your car. All in all- good. Good flavor, but the taco shells were dripping in grease... but might make a good hangover food. Tips on Ordering: Their IG and Yelp say you can order via their square site, but the site did not work for me at the time. I can probably see why, since they were pretty busy and consistent as far as I saw. If you decide to order in person, the earlier the better. I got there around 3pm on a Saturday and they close at 8pm. However, after a few ordered after me, they sold out. So, I'd hate for you guys to drive out there and it be sold out. Food took about 15 minutes.

Smoking good food coming out this tiny trailer...The Quesotaco has changed our lifes...there is truly nothing like it at all...They are way bigger then expected, but I was good with that...The consume was a perfect pairing and great for a cold and gloomy day...The Orange sauce is killer hot, and I always save the leftover sauce for Breakfast tacos the next day...this place is close to the Granddaughter

Ate here 4 times in one week after discovering it. Obsessed. Birria tacos with the consommé and the queso tacos. So damn good

Was visiting Austin and wanted to find a good place to eat. Found it on tik tok and it hit. Good prices too

Excellent. Worth the wait, and the price! Order ahead online avoid the lines. Definitely authentic, dare I say best birria in Austin. I drive about 30-40 minutes to get them, they are the only tacos I eat here!

Got their tacos w/ consume, mulita & birria ramen. This was our rating for each: Tacos & Consume: 6/5. I'm still dreaming about them. We tried their queso taco as well, it's a must try! Consume is perfect. Not too salty but incredibly flavorful. Mulita: 5/5. Just one can be so filling. Highly recommend it Birria Ramen: 3.5/5 DISCLAIMER: It's probably really good to the average. Flavor was definitely there. I don't eat a lot of salty things regularly. So felt it was too salty for us. Probably nothing to do with La Tunita, as it seems they just add their birria into the manufactured ramen cups. Overall, highly recommend this place. We'll def be back!

One day I stumbled upon a recipe for birria in the failing New York Times. Beef shoulder roast happened to be on sale at H‑E‑B, so I made it. It was a simple recipe once I found the chilis, and it turned out amazing. I ate it with rice and beans, then I used the leftover for enchiladas smothered in the braising liquid, And I still had two pints of the braising liquid left to freeze. I had never heard of birria before. So now I'm in Austin perusing places to eat near my motel on Yelp, and I see this food truck with, of all things, birria tacos and excellent reviews. I had to try it. The tacos were amazing. The birria was cooked just right. I saw some folk dipping their tacos in a liquid. I think it was consume on the menu and I suspect it's the braising liquid. But personally I didn't think the tacos were too dry as is; they just had a lot of meat on them. Now I really want to try this toasted cheese. It sounds divine.

Honestly words can't describe this place, speechless! It's a must try, like stop what you're doing and go! I'm obsessed with this place and that ramen is addicting, perfect for a rainy day. They will give you a great amount of food for a great price. I was so excited to eat that I almost forgot to take pictures. Also, order the El Pastor tacos, Chef's kiss!

I'm not sure how I was living without La Tunita. I discovered this taco trailer close to my home about 9 months ago and each time it is mind blowing y'all! Birria tacos with the consome are full of flavor. The tortillas are perfect. Dip the birria taco in the consome and it will change your life. The other life altering taco here is the queso taco... like what the.... it's the best thing on earth maybe. If you haven't seen it, it's not what you are thinking. Do yourself a favor and go look at a video of the queso taco on their Instagram. After viewing you will be excited and ready to eat tacos. Be prepared though this spot has definitely gotten popular over the last nine months and they sometimes sell out and there could be a line. Mask up and stay six feet from people. La Tunita is definitely worth it!

It rained all day today but we couldn't stay away from tacos. I've been following them on Instagram for a while and finally got to try them today. We ordered the special torta, birria tacos, queso tacos, the quesadilla, and the consume with birria. Everything was greasy and delicious. Ran to the convenience store it's in the parking lot of and they had an excellent (albeit expensive) beer selection.

I went today. I had seen photos on their instagram page yesterday and decided I would venture out to find this magical place. I stood in a line and waited for them to open with about 50 other people. I was 3rd in line so my chances were good-- social distancing as much as possible, you're in a convenience store parking lot after all. Everybody masked up. Win. The most folks I've been around since March, btw. So this was serious taco business However, these tacos were pure love. 2 Birria tacos with consomme, and a 1 Empalme taco was my order. Both are hands down some of the best I've ever had. Simply amazing.
