Book NowAbout Radio Taco
Radio Taco delivers Mexico City street energy to Chippendale with slow-cooked birria tacos dunked in rich dipping broth. Minimal footprint. Maximum impact. Locals crowd the compact red-corner counter on Abercrombie Street, snatching takeout or perching outside on plastic milk crates when indoor stools fill up. The tender beef birria drips with savory fat—pack a thick stack of napkins before plunging each fold into the warm bowl of spiced consommé. Beyond the classic tacos, the kitchen turns the same Jalisco-style braise into loaded fries and rich noodle ramen bowls, chased by house-brewed horchata.
- Signature Birria & Consommé: Tender beef, chicken, or mushroom folded into crisp tortillas and paired with rich, savory dipping broth.
- Street-Level Energy: A compact, fast-moving taquería where diners sit inside to Latin beats or claim milk crates out front on Abercrombie Street.
- Beyond Classic Tacos: Jalisco-style braised beef repurposed into birria ramen bowls, loaded fries, and Cali burritos.

Before you head over
Essential tips for navigating seating, dining, and ordering at this Chippendale taqueria
Plan for Limited Seating
Seating inside the compact venue fills quickly during peak hours. When dining room spots are taken, grab a milk crate out front or opt for takeaway to nearby Peace Park.
Prepare for a Messy Meal
Rich, slow-cooked beef birria served with savory dipping consommé is intensely flavorful but notably drippy, so make sure to stock up on napkins before digging in.
Vegetarian Birria Options
Beyond traditional beef and chicken birria, vegetarians can order the slow-cooked mushroom birria tacos or burritos for the same authentic flavors.
