Many regulars, like Odalis Tejada and Star Struck, express their unwavering loyalty to these tacos, claiming they are the best in New York City. The flavors are rich and the portions generous, although some customers have noted the wait can be long due to the high demand.
One of the standout features of Taqueria El Cebollin is the personal touch from owner, who takes pride in his craft and addresses customer concerns directly.

Best Birria tacos I ever had. Is above the Birria land in Queens in my honest opinion. The service is quick and good always hot. La sopa es lo mejor. Recomendado 100%

(update, 4.17.24) the owner is a solid person and man of his word. even with my poor communication, he went out of his way to rectify a miscommunication several days after the fact. He recommended a steak chimichanga and delivered it himself. It was delish, flawlessly crispy and the steak cooked perfection. Couldn’t even take a picture cause i ate it so fast. Shout out to him, his business and food is worth supporting. (update) There was some miscommunication with the staff, probably due to a language barrier. The owner since spoke to me directly and was very kind respectful. Offered his personal recommendations including sending out a comped meal. Mexican truck, so the atmosphere is a Bronx block lol. On google, it shows a vast menu with lots of options and pictures but in reality the truck only has tacos. Anyways that would be all fine except the birria tacos were tough. i had to gnaw through my tacos and drench em in the consome which had chewy pieces of uneatable meat inside. (i don’t even think it was birria, just undercooked chicken pieces) all in all, not worth it for 16

I get the birria tacos here religiously and i have yet to be disappointed!! Best ive ever had in nyc!!! The lines and wait time can be quite long, but the food always makes up for the wait. Flavourful, great portions (they can be a lil stingy w the consume depending on the night tbh) and consistent quality. My cheat meal will always be these tacos

While there are many taco trucks around the area, this one has never let me down. I typically order tacos or a quesadilla. I also order ahead for pickup. I believe some time in March, I made a delivery order and the young man that I met outside had been harassed by some guys. I didn't catch the act but he was visibly upset. Anyway, hope he's OK. I love this truck
