About Birrieria el Zacatecano

Our food truck was opened to make my parents’ wish come true and to share our family’s authentic birria recipe with our community. Every dish is made with the flavors and traditions that have been passed down through our family.

Maria Reyes

Owner, Birrieria el Zacatecano

The first time I watched a whole neighborhood line up around my parents' kitchen to eat, I understood what cooking could do for a community. I kept their scribbled recipes, the notes about when a spice was right, and I learned to read a pot the way other people read faces. I opened Birrieria el Zacatecano to keep that kind of daily ritual alive, to make a place where people who grew up with the same smells could find them again. I get up before sunrise, sharpen knives, shave onions thin, and stand over the pot until it tells me it's ready. My name is Maria Reyes, and what keeps me going is the way customers tell me which memory a bite unlocked, watching neighbors reconnect, and knowing my work keeps my family fed and a little more rested.

When to Book

Recommended lead time
15–30 days before your event

The further ahead you book, the more trucks you'll have to choose from. Planning ahead is the best way to secure your top pick.

That said, shorter timelines work too—we book events just days out all the time. You'll just have fewer options to choose from.

Busy seasons: Spring and Fall are our most popular times in Detroit, so booking early gives you the best selection.

Do I need to provide any utilities (power or water)?
Usually not. Most food trucks arrive with their own generator, water tank, and cooking equipment, so a flat, accessible parking spot of roughly 12 by 25 feet is all they need.

Rescheduling is the usual answer when weather turns, and we work with you and the truck to find a date. If the event has to be cancelled, the refund follows the cancellation policy above.
