Taquizas El Yiyo 2 — Restaurant in Beaumont

This is a great little taco spot. I enjoyed my to-go dinner from here. I'm not a birria taco professional, but the tacos were A+.

First, the cons.

I ordered a combo deluxe, which comes with 3 birria tacos, rice and beans. I didn't get the beans - I'm not a refried bean fan. Although the tacos were great, the rice was about as mediocre as it comes. It was fine, but it is really something simple this business could do to take it to the next level.

It's a small thing, but the drive-through area is kind of cramped. I don't know how much the restaurant can do about this because of the location, but it's a small complaint.

Also, the menu could probably be expanded slightly. But that's another minor thing because they do their birria very well. I would recommend great tortilla chips and maybe a killer sopapilla.l or churro.

The pros...

The birria was outstanding. They really seem to have the recipe down perfect. I really wanted to try the pizza, but I couldn't justify that much food for just me.

The service was quick and friendly. The packaging was done right.

The sauces were all intensely flavorful. The consume, the red and green salsas were all very tasty and fresh.

I would love to try this place again and I highly...

I ordered 3 things, the birria combo with rice and beans, 2 al pastor tacos, and 2 asada tacos. I trusted the reviews hyping up their birria tacos and I had never eaten one before. I was disappointed. I felt like the consume had no flavor other than it being really oily and salty. There was A LOT of cheese, but when I could taste the birria, it was moist but not so flavorful. The rice was very mushy and had no flavor. The beans were okay. I was given two sauces, but even then, it did not really had anything to the flavor. The carne asada tacos was very dry and salty. The al pastor was good, it was one of my favorites, but I don't think I would come back here again...I ended up being on the toilet for the...

Birria pizza is top notch. It wasn't greasy. The tortilla had a perfect crisp in my opinion. The flavor of the meat and consome was great. Well rounded flavor and seasoned well. Super cheesy, exactly what I hoped for seeing other reviews. The pizza came with Roja and Verde sauce, grilled onions, jalapeño and limes. I believe the pizza had onion and cilantro, but it was hard to tell. Overall very pleased with the birria pizza. My husband and I shared half of it and reheated the other half in the air fryer oven the next day. Reheated well. Will definitely be...
