Midnight birria tacos on a Queens sidewalk — messy, perfect, legendary.
Why go
The truck runs late, which is part of its identity. This is where you end up at midnight after a night out, standing on a Queens sidewalk with red broth running down your wrists, absolutely not caring. The line can be long but it moves fast. Get the quesabirria tacos and a cup of consommé. That's the order. Don't deviate.
Pro Tip
They open around 7pm and run past midnight. The sweet spot is 9-10pm — after dinner rush, before the bar crowd.
Best Time
Weeknight around 9pm
