I have been sleeping on Tyson's! Their tacos were so good. The Barbacoa was tender, flavorful and not greasy at all. Loved their thin chewy tortillas and great salsa both red and green. Thumbs way up!

The two taco bowl says that it comes with chips and queso but it doesn't. For some reason the pork belly in my taco was hard. It took almost an hour for the food. The birria taco shows 3 in the picture but you only get one and consume has no flavor.

TL;DR Disappointing experience, even for a late-night delivery order. Wouldn’t order again.
I ordered a three-taco box with beef fajita, barbacoa, and birria tacos, along with a separate birria plate.
The fajita beef was dry, perhaps cooked earlier and reheated on a griddle rather than freshly prepared. It was also quite bland, with no discernible citrus flavor or visible spice mixture. The onions and peppers seemed undercooked, however: softened but not yet translucent, with very little browning. The pepper sliver even retained its bright green color.
The barbacoa was also disappointingly dry, and the flour tortillas tasted like something you’d get from a grocery store (but in rural Minnesota, not H-E-B).
The birria tacos on both plates came with consommé that had a beefy, oniony flavor, which wasn’t bad, but lacked the chile depth and complexity I’d expect from birria.
Both dishes came with rice and beans. The rice was bright orange but lacked seasoning, while the refried beans were extremely thick and pasty.
I also ordered a large horchata. It was large, and it was horchata. Solid B+.
Overall, the food was poorly executed and remarkably lacking in flavor, but I ate it all (except the rice and beans). Would I order here again? Probably not. But if I were dragged here by friends, I’d still get the horchata.

missing 2 orders of Chips & Queso . the guacamole is way too spicy and sour, not made with care. Side of Tortillas are tiny. Build Your Own tacos have 5 in flour tortillas and are so small. Not worth the price.

Honestly, I don't know how to describe how bad this food was. It was overpriced, extremely bland. $9 for a tiny, tiny "specialized" taco. The brisket nachos were awful, made with incredibly cheap ingredients. Bland, bad flavors all around. I won't order from here again.
