Birrieria Lopez cabrera

Unassuming food truck parked outside of a gas station right off busy 290! We can at around 7pm on a Thursday and there was no line, although they were cooking up call-in orders! The young lady taking our orders did a great job of explaining to relatively diverse menu. Lots of cool options (tortas, birria "pizzas," plates, tacos, and their famous Kong Burrito which is a massive beast loaded with all the traditional burrito fillings and then some added fries and bacon. They then top it with cheese and more bacon. Insane.We opted to go with some tacos and a couple of their quesabirria (their other flagship offering). The torta quesabirria was decadent... topped with cheese and served with a cup of consume on the side. We got 3 different tacos, and the meat in each was verrry similar. Delicious, but not much difference between the beef offerings.The tables outside were clean, but it was somewhat loud with the highway right there and music playing from the truck boombox.All accounted for, the price was good, the food was tasty, and the people were great.

Amazing food from this small stand! Extremely flavorful quesabirrias and consume. The hot sauces are on point. I cannot wait to try that massive burrito they have. Everything they sell looks incredible. Don't sleep on this spot, you'll be impressed. They do have some benches, but if you're bringing a big party, be prepared. Also, drinks can be purchased at the adjoining gas station.

I tried the birria ramen. The birria and consume were good, but it is not paired well with ramen. The birria was tender however had a lot of pieces with excess fat we had to pick through. The ramen noodles lacked quality and tasted similar to just a ramen packet, I was expecting better quality noodles. Also tried the churros loved the sauce to dip in. Parking is difficult as it is on a gas station parking lot. There is also minimal seating present, one picnic table. There is ability to order in advance which helps with finding somewhere to wait.

Birrieria Lopez Cabrera #1 may at first glance look like a humble food truck, but this trailer makes the best birria in Austin. I'll tell you why.We ordered three quesabirria tacos with consumé and the birria torta with consumé. Each taco and the torta were packed with meat and bursting with flavor. Our order also came with a good amount of limes and cucumber. The consumé was thick and meaty and came in a nice large cup. The corn tortillas are made from scratch and were perfectly crunchy, and the bread on the torta was soft and the inside and soaked up flavor from the birria. Every item was perfectly cheesy, especially the torta, which we ordered with a cheese wrap over the top. I think you can also tell a lot about a restaurant from their salsas. Birrieria Lopez Cabrera's red and green salsas both had great flavor. The red was definitely on the spicier side, but my favorite was their green salsa, which was very creamy and flavorful but not super spicy.Each meal was about $15, and the portions were good for the price. The torta is perfect for when you are feeling HUNGRY because it is massive. The service was really friendly and I was able to quickly place our order over the phone. Please note if you visit, when we ordered our meals this food truck was cash only.

The best taco places are always food trucks by gas stations haha, but for sure definitely some of the best birria tacos I've had in Austin. 5/5 food - We got the quesobirria tacos with consume, they were so crispy with good portion sizes!!5/5 service - quick and yummy!

Our experience of Birria Cabrera was at their Slaughter location inside the gas station parking lot. Now, don't let that fact deter you from visiting this UNDERRATED food truck. Even though they are situated in the parking lot, they do their best to ensure you can sit and enjoy your meal by having picnic tables out and even music to set the mood!We first saw them after examining their menu when we walked by when they were closed, but after checking them out on IG and reading some of their unique items knew we had to go back!We are glad to say they are TOTALLY WORTH IT! Our food came out hot and was so fresh and beautiful looking with cucumber slices and lime wedges! We had their NEW Birria flautas, cheese wrapped Birria torta, and the quesa birria tacos, along with some MASSIVE strawberry filled churros. We were absolutely BLOWN AWAY by the consommé! The flavor, viscosity and chunks of meat within in it you could literally just do shots of it on its own, which we did...The crunch that remained on the tacos and the flautas was incredible, even when you dipped them into the consommé! The cinnamon seasoning (this is an assumption) that they put into their Birria shines through and adds a depth of flavor!While everything was absolutely fabulous, the torta might have taken the cake. We thought a cheese wrap might be messy to eat and a little excessive, but where do you see that? We can vouch it is TOTALLY worth it and NOT excessive NOR messy! The outer layer of cheese gave some little crunches of cheese and enhanced the cheese flavor. It wasn't greasy either! The torta itself was so fluffy and massive and generously filled with Birria. Dipping it into the also flavorful consommé was just heaven on earth inside your mouth.The churros were such a wonderful way to round out our meal and I loved the amount of cinnamon sugar they added to it, while also being a little denser and crisp on the outside so you could dip it in the milk sauce. Overall Birria Cabrera is a hidden gem and a MUST VISIT! Thank you for the passion and love you infuse into your foods!

Food so good I had to leave a review! In my opinion this food truck is better than most Mexican restaurants downtown, chilaquiles are spicy and Smokey, huarache steak tender and full of flavor 10 out of 10 all day.

Super friendly but more importantly, they had incredible food. The Birrieria tacos were great as was the street corn. I'll be back again.

Authentic mexican flavor ! Very good food and the prices are reasonable for what you get

I had a gordita (normally my fav) and my boyfriend ordered the birria tacos. OMG! These are the best birria tacos I've ever had! I am so glad they're close to my work. They were recommended by one of my coworkers and I'm so glad they did!! Will definitely eat here again. It's a taco truck but has picnic tables so you can eat outside. Fine with me!
