I try to come here At least one time a week. The food here is absolutely amazing and I drive at least An hour just to eat these guys is food. I super highly recommend families or anyone hungry to stop and try A bite of this food. Also the wait is not that long and that's always a bonus.
Finally some good food in Ames! Dripping with grease and oh so delicious, this is my fiance's and my new go to spot. The workers here are very kind and helpful too :) If you want good Mexican food truck food, this place is it!
Update 5/28/23: had to take off a star for service. For the past year, only lengua has been extra $, while cabeza was the same price as the "normal" meats. To my surprise, I was charged an extra $0.50 per cabeza taco today, as well as a credit card fee. Neither of these prices are disclosed anywhere on their menu. (The extra lengua charge isn't on the taco part of the menu either, for the record, it only says it for some of the larger items). Ordering in person is supposed to be cheaper than ordering on DoorDash, but cabeza tacos are still $2.80 there as of today, versus $3.00 in person. Minimal difference, maybe, but still feels dishonest to be charged extra when nowhere on their truck does it state these fees.
Carnitas are Birria are amazing, sauces are great, rice is a bit mild for our taste, very reasonable prices.
Got lucky finding this truck driving through for Iowa for work. I ordered 4 lengua tacos, a birria quesadilla and they were DELICIOUS!!! The lengua in the tacos was cooked to perfection and the flavor was mouth watering good. The birria quesadilla was the best I’ve had from any place I’ve been to so far. The consommé was well blended and tasted soooo good. 13/10 would recommend and I look forward to going out of my way just to eat there.
#1 food place in Ames for me ,
Quesabirrias so good..
BUT it's the Torta Birria that stood out ???? haven't found anything comparable in any city I've been in the US since trying Tacos El Primo. Idk how common or authentic a Birria torta is, but it was so good and since moving from ames I am determined to try and find another one like the one from tacos El primo
Delicious birria tacos! Friendly staff and large portions at a good price.
The food was really good. However, do not expect the prices to be lower than comparable (or better) sit down restaurant prices.
First time experience, and it was incredible! Even the delivered, I was so impressed. Definitely coming back for more!
