Our neighborhood FB group went bonkers that a Birrieria Tijuana taco truck opened in our area, their 9th location in WA. Naturally, I had to try them. To find the taco truck, drive to the address. The first thing you'll see is a Shell gas station at the triangle corner where 100th Ave NE forks to Juanita Woodinville Way NE. The taco truck is behind the gas station. I tried calling ahead to place the order before going, but I couldn't understand his question(s). We hung up and drove over instead. Luckily, there was no line, and we placed our order and was told a 10 minutes wait. Several cars arrived soon after us, but they appear to be quite fast.The Food:I couldn't decide what to order, so we ordered the Birria Pack for $50. The guy looked at us and said, "It is a lot of food." Ok. When we arrived home and open the container, it IS a lot of food!! The menu isn't specific about what is included in the pack, so here goes:6 Crunchy Tacos, $3 each = $18 5 Cheese Tacos, $4 each = $20 Asada Fries, $14 (This is a BIG pile.)2 Consome, $4 each = $8 valueChurros filled with dulce de leche, 6 pcs, served with ice cream = $8.99 $68.99 total value for $50. It is a GOOD deal. We didn't specify the meat, and they gave us birria, shredded chucks of beef for all them, which is perfectly fine with us. The meat is a little dry as someone else mentioned. We dipped the tacos in the consome, but that was oily at the top so that just made the tacos oily. The best approach is using the included salsas; they added a lot of flavors and helped the beef. The grilled onions were passing, nothing special. The grilled peppers were surprisingly very spicy. I have a high spice tolerance, and that particular batch caught me off-guard. (Peppers naturally vary in spiciness; yours may not be as spicy. Just a heads-up and approach with caution.) All the above food items fit in the large foil pan in my photo. For reheat on day 2 and after, we microwaved tacos and then air-fried. They re-heated very well. Tip: If you are not eating the churros right away, consider bringing a clean produce type of small plastic bag with you to put in the entire churros cup. Along the drive home, the churros were banging against each other; I was holding the cup and was covered in sugar as a result. This review is closer to a 4.5 Stars due to the cost and fast service. But the meat could be slightly better - less dry.
