About Street Taste

Preston locals head to this High Street spot for deeply savoury quesabirria tacos paired with rich, spiced dipping consommé. The kitchen runs a fully halal-certified operation, branching past traditional street fare into fall-off-the-bone beef rib sandwiches and stacked loaded fries. Group dinners and birthday parties take over the dining room booths, where attentive staff cut outside celebration cakes without charging extra. Between rounds of mango margaritas and frozen mocktails, tables fill quickly with slow-cooked meats, crispy taco shells, and house-seasoned chips.

  • Crispy Birria & Consommé: Tender slow-cooked meats stuffed into crisp shells, served alongside spiced consommé for dipping.
  • Beef Rib Specialties: Dual-focus menu featuring fall-off-the-bone short rib sandwiches alongside loaded fries and burgers.
  • 100% Halal Mexican Fare: Entire menu of slow-cooked meats, tacos, burgers, and mocktails is fully halal-certified.
  • Celebration Friendly: Accommodating group setup with no cakeage fee for birthday cakes and celebratory gatherings.

    Tender braised beef rib sandwiches provide a juicy, fall-off-the-bone alternative alongside Mexican taqueria staples and loaded sides.

    The food is just top notch, and the meat tastes so good, and is so tender it falls of the bone.
