Palo Seco 512

"If you’ve ever found yourself on Instagram, mesmerized by videos of rich, birria-filled tacos being dunked into a steaming bowl of consomé, there’s a good chance you stumbled across footage from Palo Seco (formerly known as La Tunita 512). That, or you’re in a very vivid daydream that we’d love to be a part of. The tacos here are excellent, and the consomé is so good that we’ve debated if it’s socially acceptable to carry around a small flask of it. Most of the people anxiously lined up are here for the birria tacos or the quesabirria, the latter of which adds a signature spin by frying the cheese directly on the griddle before it goes into its tortilla blanket." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion

"The tacos at Palo Seco (formerly known as La Tunita 512) are excellent, and the chili and lime-infused consomé is so good that we’ve debated if it’s socially acceptable to carry around a small flask of it. They usually have a limited menu of rotating specials and tortas here, but most of the people anxiously lined up are here for the beef birria tacos or the quesabirria, the latter of which adds a signature spin on things by frying the cheese directly on the griddle before going into its tortilla blanket. The end result is truly something to look at, and even better to taste.  What to get: Birria and quesabirra tacos " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion

"The East Riverside truck changed its name from La Tunita to Palo Seco, but still serves its really excellent birria tacos, available with cheese and/or consomé, for lunch and early dinner. Takeout orders can be placed online or in person; there are outdoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury

"Palo Seco 512 at 2400 Burleson Road in Parker Lane is adjusting hours due to the winter storm." - Nadia Chaudhury

"Gerardo “Jerry” Guerrero’s brisket birria de res breathes spicy life into a menu that is simple by design. Even if you don’t order all five of this south Austin trailer’s menu items (but seriously, why wouldn’t you?), the quesabirria taco is a must. The corn tortilla is replaced with a crispy, plancha griddled disc of shredded Monterrey Jack cheese. The truck had been called La Tunita 512, and Guerrero renamed it last fall. Takeout orders can be placed online. There are tables available for on-site outdoor dining." - Trey Gutierrez
