"Housed inside a restored streamliner in the Victorian District, this spot delivers plenty of flavor despite its small square footage. The restaurant, helmed by co-chefs de cuisine Daniel Aranza and Felipe Vera, began as a food truck in 2013 and built a cult following for its fried chicken sandwich before going brick-and-mortar in 2023. Settle in at a booth or counter stool and dig into sizzling queso fundido with chorizo, papas bravas, or the fajita quesadilla made with butter beans." - Colleen McNally Arnett
"Anything is possible in Savannah — including a feast of smokehouse tacos and tortas in a repurposed streamliner. Strangebird, a popular food truck frequently seen at Starland Yard, now has a free-standing location in the Victorian District. Wash down Mexican staples like cochinita pibil and beef barbacoa tacos with horchata made from Carolina Gold rice and coconut milk, as the restaurant’s tagline beckons, “Eat Tacos. Be Guapo.”" - Kiki Dy
"Strangebird serves Southern-meets-Mexican barbecue with dishes like a birria burger and salsa macha-topped refried butter beans, run by chefs Daniel 'Nilo' Aranza and Felipe Vera." - Caroline Hatchett
"Located at 1220 Barnard Street in Savannah, Strangebird is a Mexican-flared spot that normally occupies the Streamliner; the Streamliner was bustling and crowded on Juju’s opening night and served as the lively setting where Stevenson was greeted with enthusiastic applause." - Jason B James
"A formerly mobile operation that has settled into a brick-and-mortar in Savannah, providing a welcome and much-needed lunch option for the neighborhood." - Eater Staff
