Birria Barrio has cracked open the service window at its South Flores outpost and is pushing a mini‑taco deal that hits right in the late‑afternoon sweet spot: five double‑corn tortillas loaded with your choice of meat for about $10, plus a $3.50 Mexican Coke that brings the whole thing to roughly $14 for a stacked meal. The tray lands with grilled onions, two kinds of raw onion, cilantro, two salsas, a thick lime wedge and a whole jalapeño. The minis skip cheese and consommé, but come out dressed enough to feel like a full production. The compact spot offers indoor seating and plenty of outdoor tables, and customers were already lining up as the doors slid open at 2 p.m, according to MySA.
Receipt Surprise And What Landed On The Plate
Food reporter Polly Anna Rocha of MySA swung by the South Flores location on opening and clocked a curious price quirk. The mini‑taco special showed $11.99 on the menu, yet her receipt came in at $9.99. Rocha pointed to the tangy orange salsa as the standout on the tray and noted that the double corn tortillas and shredded birria made the smaller tacos more filling than they look at first glance. Her visit also logged the Mexican Coke at $3.50, which kept the total for the mini‑taco haul right around $14.
How The South Flores Spot Fits The Birria Barrio Buildout
Birria Barrio now lists several San Antonio locations on its website, including the South Flores shop at 6203 S. Flores St., with typical hours that kick off around 2 p.m. for those later openings. The outfit began as a South Presa food truck and has since spun that demand for birria into multiple brick‑and‑mortar locations along with additional trucks around town. Local coverage of the growth has followed each new address and the lines that showed up as Birria Barrio shifted from roaming truck to neighborhood regular.
Why These Mini Tacos Could Be A Quiet Power Move
Mini tacos ride a broader shift toward bite‑sized orders that let diners try more without going all in on a single plate, and Birria Barrio’s pricing plants this special firmly in value territory in San Antonio’s crowded taco field. The stripped‑down setup on the minis, with no cheese or consommé, trims costs while the salsas and grilled aromatics bring the flavor hit birria fans expect. Put together, the South Flores window becomes an easy pull for anyone chasing a quick, cheap, well‑seasoned snack that still eats like a meal…
