//The line

Birria-Landia is a late-night Mexican food truck parked under the elevated 7 train at Roosevelt Ave & 78th St in Jackson Heights, known for quesabirria tacos and consomé. It's built a reputation as one of the borough's go-to birria stops, with over 600 Yelp reviews for the Jackson Heights location alone.

Reviewers describe a consistently long curbside line at the truck, especially during evening and late-night hours, with reported waits often falling in the 1-2 hour range at busy times — though the line is generally said to move steadily. There's no seating or reservation system since it's a walk-up truck; some regulars call ahead to place an order to shorten their time standing in line.

Given the truck's hours (open into the early-morning hours Thursday through Saturday), the longest lines are reported on weekend nights, while early weekday evenings right at opening appear to be the more manageable window based on reviewer patterns.

//When the line peaks
Friday and Saturday nights (truck open until 1am-2am) draw the longest reported lines Weekend late-night/post-dinner hours are described as the busiest stretch Early weekday evenings right at the 5pm opening appear comparatively less crowded based on reviews Saturday/Sunday midday, when the truck opens at noon, sees an earlier wave of customers than weekdays
