Crispy, Cheesy, and Slow-Cooked: The Best Birria Taco in Central Texas Found

I remember when they first came on the scene. It was in the middle of COVID, and they were making these delicious tacos straight from their home. Word spread quickly about how amazing their food was.

Is This Central Texas’s Most Underrated Birria? Locals Think So

Now, I’m a big believer in being honest when it comes to discussing food with Central Texans in my articles, and I’d be lying if I said this wasn’t one of the best birria tacos I’ve ever tasted in my life. I’m not being dramatic—I’m being honest. We’re talking about flavor that’s seasoned to a tee. A lot of times when you get birria tacos, they’re seasoned well, but the sauce they come with—known as consommé—isn’t always as delicious. But here at El Callejero, they’ve got everything right.

What Else Does El Callejero Offer?

Of course, birria tacos are what they’re known for, but don’t ever think they’re a one-trick pony. From spicy chicken and pozole to fried fish, crawfish dishes, and even elote, they offer a wide variety. They also have fresh drinks like cucumber lemonade, mango pineapple, and my personal favorite, strawberry lemonade.

This place is top-tier—delicious food that cannot be denied. Located at 615 North St. in Killeen, if you’ve never had El Callejero’s birria tacos, I’m telling you right now—you haven’t had a great taco in Central Texas just yet. Their tacos are so good, you won’t just want them on a Tuesday. Any day of the week is a good day to eat at El Callejero.
