Vito's Tacos- The New King of Birria in the Southwest
When it comes to Birria tacos, no one does it better than the southwest. Las Vegas food culture is becoming an attraction of its own, which would not be possible without the staple of Mexican cuisine.
Victor Gonzales is the owner of Vito's Tacos, the food truck who is bringing Birria to every corner of the Vegas valley, which is a blessing for any foodie, like us!
He began making Birria tacos out of his home in September of 2020 and by March of 2021 his team was set and his truck was up and running.
On average, Vito's Tacos prepares about 150lbs of beef daily to serve to their customers. Their long lines and raving Yelp reviews are a testament to the amazing food they sell out nearly every day.
We got a chance to try what we now know to be the best Birria in town and here were our favorites.

Juicy, crunchy, savory and oh, so delicious. With premium cuts of beef marinated for 6-7 hours, Vito's Birria tacos are heaven on a plate. They have to be, hands down, the best tacos I have ever had in my life.
Filled with your choice of chicken or beef, cilantro, onions and cheese, Vito's takes these simple ingredients and creates a culinary masterpiece your belly won't forget anytime soon.
You cannot mention Birria or Vito's Tacos without talking about the consome that brings it all together.
A slow cooked, beef broth that originally hails from Jalisco, Mexico, you can enjoy it on its own as a soup or dip your tacos in it. Either way, Vito's consome will make your mouth sing when it hits your taste buds.

The Birria Mulita (top picture) and the Birria Ramen are the signature dishes of Vito's Tacos, which put them ahead of their competition. The Mulita is made with Mozzarella cheese, slow cooked beef, cilantro, and onions.
The Mozzarella cheese adds a thicker layer to the overall taste, can be eaten like a sandwich that is tastes even better with the consome.
The Birria Ramen (bottom picture) is a unique dish that you won't find anywhere but Vito's Tacos. Made with Udon noodles and consome with extra lime, this is a flavorful, mouth-watering soup that gets better with every bite.
To sum it up, left-overs don't exist with Vito's Tacos. One of the best things about them is that what you see in the photos is exact what you get on your plate.
Their dedication to a consistent, delectable recipe is one reason why many of their customers come back for seconds and thirds- us included!
It's safe to say Vito's understood the assignment, but don't just take our word for it. They post their location schedule every week on Mondays, so go ahead and check them out!
Special thanks to Victor and his awesome team for a fantastic experience!
