The first time a friend mentioned this place I just giggled & said, «ok — you go ahead & enjoy your gas station tacos … I’ll go to the restaurant down the street from there». He swore they served the best tacos al pastor he’s ever had, so I figured why not — I’ve eaten at Mr. Taco and I’m still alive so, this place can’t hurt me too much. So I went to the gas station on the S.W. corner of Austin &35th and grabbed a couple steak tacos, chicken tacos & the pastor that my friend was raving about. At first it was a lil’ odd standing there inside a gas station waiting for tacos … but nobody finds it odd if there’s a dunkin donuts in one, so why is this any different? Anyhow, the tacos — the steak & chicken were average … not bad, just nothing different from the other taquerias down the street. The pastor on the other hand was incredibly tasty. Well seasoned tender pork sliced from the rotating spit served on tortilla w/onion, cilantro & lime wedge … there was no need for red or green sauce on these. The sauces are very good though … the red is very smokey with a nice level of heat while the green is a sharper cleaner heat that has just a touch more bite than the red. I’ve returned several times and there was one time the pastor was kinda dry but the other dozen times it’s been awesome. The dining counter & table area have always been clean & the service has been basic but nice & pretty quick. I’m no expert in tacos al pastor, but of the handful of places I’ve had it … Taqueria Birrieria serves the best al pastor around. It’s the kinda thing I get a craving for now and going anywhere else has(so far) ended in disappointment.
