14 Best Places in California to Get Traditional Goat and Lamb Barbacoa | Eater LA

"Gonzalo Ramirez has been cooking barbacoa as long as he can remember, first with his grandfather in Atotonilco El Grande, Hidalgo, and today in Arleta, where his son Erik Ramirez is learning the trade. Ramirez’s method includes raising the lambs, butchering them, loading the lamb cuts into the pit, placing pots for the consomé under them, and making the pancita in the pre-Hispanic tradition. The lamb is pink, supple, and perfect in a tortilla with just a little salt. The consomé is a beautiful expression of smoke, adobo, and the essence of the pit, rich with lamb oils. Grab a blood sausage taco, enhanced by green herbs, and slices of chile jalapeno to accompany a memorable breakfast from a true barbacoa artist." - Bill Esparza

I came in after passing by for a while, and I wasn't disappointed. I had the birria burrito with consome and it was delicious! My friend had the 4 dorados de barbacoa, and he ate all of them! They have beef birria and lamb barbacoa and all the traditional meats!

I like that we didn't have to wait long to be seated. Our older was take pretty quickly. The waitress was so nice and attentive to our needs. She was vey courteous and polite. We ordered the pizzabirria wich was delicious indeed. Also, the consome, the tacos Dorados and Jamaica too were really delicious. I will most definitely recommend this restaurant to all my friends and family.🥰

I didn't realize they also had a dining hall to eat in, so that was a nice surprise. The food was amazing their birria is the perfect dish to bring you back to life after a night of partying.

This is my first time visiting this food truck. This is the food struck on Main St and 92th in Los Angeles. I think they have more than one spot. I live down the block. I always see this spot but never had a chance to stop by until a couple of days ago. I gave them a shot. The quesabirria was pretty huge for $11. I feel like he hook it up a bit. And, the quesabirria was delicious. I would definitely return for the tacos.

I'm not sure what is wrong with f****** Yelp, because this would be my third review of the same place the stupid app keeps making me redo my review. So I'm just going to make this short. Small place, horrible parking, salty lamb, salty consomme soup. The pork bone in the soup was bomb! The soup had too much rice and beans in it, and the Mango lemonade was delicious. Most of the staff speak Spanish and don't really speak English, they don't accept credit card or debit card.

A true gem. This place is absolutely delicious. If it were in a nicer location I can guarantee that this place would be on all those trendy food lists

Customer service is what this place really has. One of the best for sure. Food is great as well. If authentic Mexican food is what you are craving then this place is a must try.

Rating is for the food only and not necessarily the ambiance. The food here is solid and really inexpensive. The consumate soup with a little chili, onion, cilantro and lime is delicious as were the tacos. The ambiance is very humble and reminds me of a place you would walk into while traveling in Mexico.

Not the place to visit especially if you are with family and friends. Our experience was very bad considering the place had many other parties familiar to us. We were there with our family and daughter of two. We waited for our food when one of the upper managers came to tell our daughter to be quiet. She is a kid. Never been treated as such. Considering we visit this place often and the service tends to take a very long time. Do not recommend it. Rudeness and the waitress was very unprofessional and inappropriate to my father as well and older man. Never returning.

This is just fabulous. If you dont like lamb, this is probably not for you. But if you give it a shot, it will be great! I always get the broth (tastes amazing like you are drinking rich lamb broth plus they add some rice and garbanzo beans) and order half a pound of marinated belly meat (pancita) and a pound of lamb meat.(I go with my family so maybe order a bit less, 4 people total). The tortillas are also hand made! They also give you salsa and guacamole and onions and lemons. Esta super riquisimo. Ordena la carne y el conzomé sabe a borrego bien echo.

The Mexican food isn't the best quality of food. The only good thing here was their Horchata. Service is okay.

Got 3 tacos + rice and beans for to go and charged me $10. They don't have set prices on the menu but i felt like I was ripped me off. I got 2 carne asada and 1 chicken taco with beans and rice. The carne asada was good and generic like any other taco places. The chicken was wet in tomato sauce and had no flavor and also had pieces of chicken bone that i had to spit out while i was eating. Now I mentioned I was ripped off because 3 tacos were only $6 but if i wanted beans and rice it would be $10. I took the combo thinking i'd be stuffed but when i got the food, all they gave me was a spoonfull of beans and rice. It may have to do with how small their to-go box was but that was definitely not worth the extra $4. Please be mindful when you order here.

Worst service ever! I've never been seated at a restaurant just to be ignored and had to leave because everyone is too busy cleaning tables instead of taking orders for people already sitting waiting for close to 30 minutes! I flagged down 2 different bus boys to be told someone would be with me. If you have time to wait and can put up with being ignored then power to you but my time is valuable and I will take my business elsewhere.

Been coming here for years and today I realized they are not listed on yelp. I had to add this hidden gem! By far the best barbacoa you will find in LA. It's a hole in the wall but it's very clean and has excellent service.

The money shot is really the mixiote, but that's apparently only available Monday through Friday, if at all. The lamb barbacoa is superbly tender, and available in taco form at only $1.25 per taco. The dimly lit room with no windows nor a/c has zilch ambience, so it's better just to take everything to go. The commissary/kitchen is the truck, and the truck alone. Don't bother if you don't like Mexicans or food trucks.

The best Barbacoa ever the sauce is delicious the meat just melts in your mouth but what holds it all together is the hand made tortillas. We usually buy a pound or Barbacoa for my husband and I and it is enough. For a two consomes and a pound of Barbacoa it was like $28

this place was just horrible, i hate to be that person but the wait time was extremely long, then was seated, after that we waited 20 to 30 minutes for someone to finally help us and take our order, come to find out what i wanted to order they were out "we don't have anymore" is what the girl told me, didn't catch her name, nor did i care, after starving and finding out what i wanted there was nothing left i just got up and left, i do not recommend this place at all only thing good was the live music, that's about it
