I don't think I've had such a good quesabirria taco is such a long time. The shell stayed so crispy long after we received our food - I've usually had them sopping wet and soggy after a while. This one? Perfect! I think the addition of cabbage was a refreshing take on them as well. The consume was also delicious, I've had plenty where it tastes very watery but this one had so much flavor. I just wish that it had a slightly wider cup to dip in, it was pretty narrow. So so delicious though! The service was great, the order taker laughed at my dad's cheesy jokes so I take that as a win. We got our food put pretty fast, nice and hot. I can't speak on any ambience exactly towards CJ's, but the overall food truck park was really cute and fun. Had nice misters to keep us cool, too! Would definitely come back for CJ's!

CJ's was running a Valentine's Day special for a heart shaped Birria taco, so of course we had to try it! This thing was huge for $25! Loaded with tons of meat and the consommé had pieces of meat, onion, cilantro and so much seasoning in it. Hands down, this whim purchase was a pleasant surprise. We'll definitely be back to try normal menu items.

What a great new addition to the Thicket in South Austin! As others have noted, CJ's is not your "boutique tiny tacos" - these are large and well filled at a great price!I arrived about 50 min before they closed on a weekday, and they still had tacos I asked for recommendations and the fellow was so nice in telling me about his favorites outside of the birria ones. I tired the fried fish (AMAZING), al pastor and suadero, on a mix of corn and flour tacos based on recommended pairings. Only feedback I'd have is that the suadero is a little drier than the others, so if you get it I'd recommend loading up on the salsa too.The tortillas were big and were good for dipping if you had any left with a little of the salsa.Food came out pretty fast (within 7min or maybe less) and was very yummy. Will be back

I had the pleasure of visiting CJ's tacos recently and would highly recommend checking it out. The Quesabirria Tacos are a must try - they are deep fried to perfection and the meat melts in your mouth. The tortilla gives it crunch and the cheese and sauces make it even better. Not only is the food amazing, but I have to give props to CJ's for the portion sizes. When I saw there were three tacos in the order, I was initially skeptical as to whether I would be full after eating. However, I was happy to be proven wrong as I found myself unable to finish the 3rd taco. They were huge! Each order is about $11 and could easily fill up an adult or a few people to share as a snack. While Thicket food truck park is a bit out of the way from downtown Austin, the ambiance was very relaxing and we even got to enjoy some live music which was a nice touch. Many people brought their dogs and there are plenty of picnic benches to sit and eat. The service was also good - we were able to place our order on the phone when we were on our way over and it was ready by the time we arrived. The only minor hiccup was that they forgot one of the sauces that comes with the order but I hardly noticed. I can't wait to be back for a future visit!

Quick, fast, straight to the point breakfast tacos. We happen to show up 30 minutes before breakfast tacos ended. They have a large variety of non breakfast tacos like birria style tacos and so much more. I got the migas and chorizo cheese and eggs. It was pretty good despite the tortillas not being homemade. The only complaint I have is that extra salsa costs. That's kind of annoying. But business is business. The salsa was very spicy and I loved it.

Only one vegetarian option but a delicious one. They made it non-fried for me so it was also gluten-free on corn tortillas. The mango salsa was delicious and the service was super friendly. The picnic seating at Thicket is always a delight and in a group, everyone gets variety.

First visit, just an impulsive thing....We ate the vegetarian taco (fried avocado), chicken taco, and the bistec taco. The prices were so low that I expected them to be simple bare tacos but, instead, they were really beautiful and sophisticated tacos. The meats were lean and flavorful.The salsas (doña, habanero, and tomatillo) were all really good.Wonderful experience.

Genuinely the best birria tacos I have ever had in my life (and I'm avid birria taco enthusiast lol) !! I ask for onions and cilantro instead of curtido and put both the green and orange salsas on it ! Their salsas are amazing and the staff is the absolute sweetest ! I go here at least once a week and would recommend this to anyone that wants good authentic mexican tacos and salsa that's actually spicy and has such a rich flavor !
