Taqueria El 5 De Mayo

This place is overpriced for a taco truck, but DAMN it's good. The ambiance is that of a food truck buzzing with business. The ladies work together in perfect harmony. I love the birria, cabeza, cachete and asada tacos. They are all super authentic and hold up well even with a 15-minute ride home and served with pickled veggies, cilantro, onion and radish. If you're looking for solid tacos, this is your place. Look no further.

Mi gusta venier Aqui por trayce rayzonahs. Uno la comeedah ess muey buena. Dos practico me Español. Trayce Eddas muey Bonita camareras... In all seriousness, this place is fantastic!!! Yo soy aprender Español. I greatly appreciate the kindness of the wonderful women who work here. They tolerate my bad Spanish and always help me if I pronounce something incorrectly. Muchas gracias mi Amiga!

The actual location seems to not want to be pinned down. These trucks are known for being fly by night and all, but this truck seems semi permanent. I've been passing by this truck since arriving in my home town a couple weeks now. Today I realize I fly back to Madison (Middleton, Wi.) in about 48 hours and I have to return to this place before I can leave, I'll be in tears if find myself in my seat on my flight wether or not I enjoy this place again. Of about 4 Birria style taco venders I've enjoyed this visit, (I know I raved about at least two of them) but now must somehow find it in my heart to be a loyalist to this one operator! The shells, a gentle deep fried snap, the meat too even revealed a little crackle upon my tongue and tooth. The grilled yellow (or white) onion slices were firm enough to still have resistance. Salsas, a tomatillo sauce was invitingly sweet and kicked back at the same instant. A creeping heat. Roasted solo jalapeño brought its fight as well. Cheesy. Other places were sans cheese, or perhaps just lacking. This actually brought to mind a proper grilled cheese sandwich in a peculiar sense. All in, the young man and lady, running this, he said he was the proprietor (my language, not his) and my response was you may one day be a rich man my friend. Judging by the rig he's running, he's well invested his time and money or a generous patron has been well rewarded for the work thus far. This location is semi permanent. The ARCO (Chevron, actually (across the intersection) as I glance around, and this was a 76 station) station on this plat is probably the same owner from my childhood days wandering to and fro my middle school days cir. 1977. Back in those days days, this was Johnnys (Mr Maxwell) IGA. the anchor, with a Coast to Coast hardware store, a family owned Pharmacy (Mr Malum) as well as its in-house pharmacist (I won't name them, but Franky was the one son I later called a great friend). I'm even going to tell a story that shouldn't be told. The lovely teenaged lady who was the first to show me what girls hide beneath their turtlenecks worked in the Fotomat about a 100 feet opposite to my immediate location as I write these words. Can't say I remember her name, but what she revealed set in my minds eye what I have been trying to revisit every breath of my life ever since. Younger readers will feel the need to shame me, but I was a boy when being a boy wasn't something to shy from. Kids these days will copulate without discrimination in any sense of the word, yet they somehow are compelled to call anything hetero a scold worthy event. A sorry state of the world. At least the foods are far more diverse and exciting than they were all those years back.

Got birria tacos here along with the torta (sandwhich) I will say I didnt realize the torta would be so delicious. Amazing birria tacos as well along with the soup. Torta was extremely fluffy and soft and was a very nice surprise. Also the lady running this thing is very nice and has great customer service. 5/5 highly recommend this taco truck.

Me and my bf loves supporting local! This food truck did NOT disappoint whatsoever. Mexican food is the type of food me and my boyfriend wouldn't eat all the time, but when we do WE DO. The parking is very spacious, they chose the perfect place for a food truck tbh. The lady taking our order was so friendly, we didn't know how to pronounce certain menu items, and she didn't make it awkward at all, instead corrected us (in a nice way). We got the quesa-birria with consome. IT WAS SO GOOD. Perfectly cheesy, great prices & great portions. The consome was PERFECT, we ended up dipping our fries in it. We got the asada-fries as well. It was SOOO GOOD. We waited to long to eat it, so it wasn't as fresh but tasted so good, I can't imagine how good it would've tasted if we ate it right away. We got the Jamaica & the horchata as well. Both was awesome and refreshing. I loved the music, the vibe and how quick the service was. 10/10, I'll be going back again.

We stopped by to try this newer taco truck in our neighborhood. We settled for 2 orders of one asada, one adobada and a quesabirria taco just to try a few different things. Orders came out fairly quick. I like that they give you plenty of salsa, a fried Serrano and some pickled veggies with the tacos. The asada tacos were our least favorite, they weren't bad but kind of lacked flavor or something. The quesabirria tacos were ok, good amount of cheese and meat but I thought the meat was lacking flavor. The winner was definitely the adobada, very flavorful and the meat was tender, definitely going back to try an adobada torta. Overall we were happy with our food, customer service was great and we'll definitely go back.

La comida tan rica siempre y la amabilidad de los empleados te hacen el día. Lo recomiendo totalmente, vengo acá una o dos veces al mes sin falta. Delicious food always and the kindness of the employees make your day. I totally recommend it, I come here once or twice a month without fail on in. I could say my favorite taco truck

We were staying nearby and wanted to find something close for dinner. I saw all the great reviews for here so we decided to give them a try. First off I love how they give you a buzzer for your order so you can take it and go wait in your car until your food is ready. That was a nice touch and something I've never seen for a food truck. Second, it didn't take long for our food to come out maybe only 8 min. We ordered 4 cheesy birria tacos, consome, and street tacos. We had about a 15 min drive back to our Airbnb but the food was still hot and fresh by the time we got home to eat it. The flavors are incredible! The crunch of the taco shell for the birria tacos was so good, it was a nice texture and cooked perfectly. The birria was so moist and flavorful, it melted in my mouth. The street tacos were flavorful and had lots of onions and cilantro which made them so good. The consome had the best flavor! Seriously the best consome I've ever had. For a food truck this place is out of this world. The prices are reasonable for what you get. Yes, it's a little on the high side for a food truck but the quality is better than any restaurant I've been to and you get a lot for what you pay for. I'm going to crave this place everyday now until I can come back!

Delicious food truck parked at a gas station in Federal Way! It looks like they have 5 food trucks.Food was delish. This is the spot that kicked off my cravings for birria tacos! It looks like you need to order the consommé separately, but since we're eating in the car, that's a no go for me. Plus, it wasn't needed. They give you a buzzer, so you can wait in your car until til your order is ready. Will plan to stop by again when I'm in the south end!

I got a vegetarian burrito add french fries to make it California style, for dinner here, The burrito was piping hot and the fries were crispy and it took all of 5 minutes. Absolutely perfect. I would love if they gave the option on DoorDash/GrubHub to add fries to a burrito but until then I'll just drive in and get it.
