The culinary offerings at Taco Joint are a fiesta for your taste buds. Famous for its beef birria tacos, each bite transports you straight to flavor town, where the tender beef is slow-cooked to perfection and infused with an array of spices that excite the palate.

Kim Berly echoes this sentiment, wishing she could award Taco Joint ten stars instead of just five!

The atmosphere of Taco Joint blends casual dining with a lively vibe. However, it might get a bit crowded during peak times, and some diners have noted that the waiting area could use improvement, particularly in noise levels when orders are called out. Yet, this minor inconvenience pales in comparison to the incredible flavors that await you.

THE BEST FOOD IVE HAD IN A WHILE. Loaded fries are amazing and the the tacos omg! I wish I could make this a 10 star review. Really hard to get a good Mexican birria taco but this hits home.

I’ve been here twice now and both times the food has been amazing. I’ve had the beef birria tacos and the BYO bag honestly, the BYO might be even better. Everything is super flavorful. The only downside is the line — it’s always pretty long. But honestly, it makes sense because the food is that good. Just be prepared to wait a bit, especially during busy times. Overall, totally worth it and I’d definitely recommend checking this place out. I’ll for sure be coming back again!

Absolutely delicious and filling. The staff are also very friendly. However there needs to be a better way for people waiting for the food to wait. The area is very small and the person calling out the order is not very loud. The soft drink cans I received were also not cold.

So yes, we went here cuz of the hype on tiktok and yes we were pleased but some things were not that great… We got the trio pack of chicken tacos… beef tacos… birria ramen… and loaded cheese fries The cheese fries for me was the best thing I’ve had from here… the perfectly seasoned fries, the heavy amounts of birria beef on top with the special sauce … YUM The birria ramen however was disappointing… I feel like the flavors didn’t really blend well and it just felt like oily soup with pretty bland noodles for texture And finally the tacos… the chicken tacos were slightly better for me (but could be personal preference)… the consommé was literally all I needed on a cold night… we were drinking it straight from the cup… the beef chunks were a tad bit too chunky haha but the flavors were good and pleasant… Overall definitely some of the better tacos I’ve had in Brisbane so far!! Vibes were really good… not too busy for a Saturday… probably waited like 15 minutes… we got there around 30 minutes after opening so maybe that’s why

2 hour wait. Got the beef and chicken Taco medley x 3 and Taco Ramen x 2 for about $100 - roughly $20/item. Single Tacos $8/each. Honestly, price and portion pretty good. The only real downside is the beef which is the main appeal of the food although it falls apart, but it was dry and chewy. So you can describe the beef is not being tender on the side of flavour. It’s very light. It’s got a bit of oil in it but yeah, the real downside is the beef is not tender.

THE BEST TACOS I HAVE EVER EATEN. I drove 4 hours and waited 40 minutes in line and then drove 4 hours home. It was worth every second. We got the triple birria beef tacos, they were the perfect spice level and the sauce was beautiful. These tacos have the power to create world peace. I was 15c short on the bill and the worker said not to worry. I really appreciated it.
