Birria Landia

We visited the Birria-Landia inside Tangram Mall and ordered a regular taco. It wasn’t bad, but what really stood out was the sauce — it was excellent. Next time, we’d like to go back and try some of their other items.

As a West Coaster who's had a lot of Mexican food, I was very satisfied with the food here and can see why people hold it with high regards. Most of what everyone else has said regarding the quality and value of the tacos is true; they are very tasty but unfortunately pricey (apparently due to the mall regulations but honestly they're priced around the same as the stuff in Cali) and therefore could be a little bigger to make up for the cost. I came here after a lunch nearby just to quickly sample the most popular offerings, ordering (using a kiosk) a regular birria taco, chicken birria taco, and a chicken quesabirria (no consomme this time since I heard even the small size is enough for upwards of 10 tacos). If you're already going to drop money on this place, just go for the quesabirria for maximum flavor. Perfect tasting and textured meat mixed in with some fresh veggies, and binded altogether with tasty melted cheese to a well-cooked tortilla; already delicious on its own. Overall, this is a must-try for all taco lovers and I'm glad I did

Tasty tacos and burrito bowls inside the tangram mall. The birria tacos were a little on the saltier the side. The consommé soup was super flavorful. Prices were higher than your average store do to being inside the mall.

Birria-Landia is a place for your taste buds to wake up and celebrate. This isn’t just another taco spot it’s where centuries of tradition meet bold, unforgettable flavor. I ordered an asada taco on flour tortilla ($4.75), a birria beef tostada ($4.75), a chorizo mulita ($6), an asada sope ($5), a birria chicken taco on flour tortilla ($4.75), plus salsa and chips ($5). Prices lean a little high for street food, but considering it’s inside a mall and the quality is next level, it feels more than fair. From the first bite, every dish was amazing flavorful, bomb, and soooo good. The asada taco was smoky grilled beef with onions, cilantro, salsa verde, and lime simple, fresh, and balanced. The birria tostada combined crunch with richness: a crisp fried tortilla topped with slow-braised beef, shredded cabbage, crema, queso fresco, and salsa roja. Every bite hit that perfect mix of textures crispy shell, juicy meat, creamy toppings, and bright acidity. The chorizo mulita was pure indulgence two flour tortillas griddled golden, stuffed with melted Oaxaca cheese and spicy pork chorizo, gooey and savory with just the right kick. The asada sope felt rustic and comforting: a thick masa base layered with refried beans, beef, lettuce, crema, queso fresco, and salsa. Hearty, earthy, and satisfying. The birria chicken taco was a twist on tradition, with shredded chicken simmered in a birria broth of dried guajillo, ancho, and pasilla chiles, garlic, cloves, cinnamon, and bay leaf, soaking up all the smoky, spiced depth usually reserved for beef or goat. Even the chips and salsa stood out bright tomatillo salsa with heat and tang that made them addicting between bites. What makes Birria-Landia special isn’t just the flavour it’s the history behind the food. Birria dates back to 16th-century Jalisco, Mexico, when Spanish colonizers introduced goats to the region. Locals, finding the meat tough and gamey, transformed it with marinades of native chiles, herbs, and spices, then slow-cooked it underground until it became tender and deeply flavorful. Over time, birria evolved into a celebratory dish, served at weddings, baptisms, and holidays, symbolizing abundance and festivity. Beef later replaced goat in much of Mexico, while in northern regions and U.S. cities, it took on new forms tacos, quesadillas, mulitas, and the now-famous quesabirria dipped in consomé. Birria-Landia has been at the forefront of that movement in New York, helping popularize it and introducing countless people to its rich, layered flavors. So yes, it’s pricier than your average taco truck, but every bite carries history, culture, and tradition. The food is bold, flavorful, bomb, and soooo good a feast for both your stomach and your soul.

The tacos are great, and the beef soup is also delicious with a hint of spiciness. Having a bottle of Coke would make it even better.

The consomme is the best thing. You can put it on anything and it will taste amazing. The consomme has entire pieces of meat in it. The Birria tacos are good, but without adding the consomme, you won't get that full fresh flavor. Service was fast, about 5 min for 2 tacos and consomme and it is displayed on their screen along with text message if you use the kiosk. Cool place to hang out with lots of seating in this food court. Ratings: Birria tacos 8/10 Consomme 10/10

These are amazing birria tacos. It's some of the best ones I've ever had. Their burritos are very good as well. The tacos are small, but they taste amazing. I can eat like 10 of these.

I tried everything on the first day of opening. The tacos and consome were great—rich and flavorful. The other two felt average, maybe because I’m not a fan of cheese. Prices are a bit high, likely due to the mall location. Food trucks might be cheaper.

I decided to try Birria Landia after downloading the app Fantuan and they me $10 credit. One of the few places that accepted the coupon was Birria Landia bc I think it's the newest addition to this mall. I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with the quality & freshness of both what I got. The condiment were great with the sour onions, green salsa and the hot sauce which thankfully was tasteful and not spicy intolerable. I used the app so it was scheduled and I knew they would take at least 20 minutes to complete my order but they finished earlier. It wasn't too busy even on a Friday early afternoon so it was quick. I ate in the food court and it was busy but thankfully not that full where I got a table and can eat. It was warm and delicious! I am glad I ate right then and there instead of opting for pick up. Definitely would go back another time.

Looking for a quick lunch and something different at Tangram Mall besides the usual Asian food and Birria Landia was right in front of us. I've heard it's a bit more expensive to order here than the Jackson Heights but this location is convenient and doesn't hurt that there's plenty of seating when you aren't there at peak hours. Ordered some chicken and pork tacos (total of 5), and a beef salad for about $42. The tacos are divine. You know when you take a bite out of something and you just nod your head? That was my entire meal. So much flavor packed into that tortilla with loads of ingredients meticulously packed in. The salad/rice bowl was a good option when you want to expand more on the ingredients and less with the tortilla. This is a great, solid option for when you want a break from the other spots at this mall. Flavor profile is top notch and you'll leave with a happy bounce in your step.

Inside Tangram Mall! The initial thought was that it's totally out of place for an Asian-dominant food court. BUT SO GLAD it's here!!!! It really brings on an extra element of what it means to promote diversity and options for patrons! Meanwhile, at first, on a non-peak day, there was no one around, and it's kind of skeptical looking that there were not much customers. As a result, past by this many times. However, for the time this weekend with the opening of Demon Slayer, the line formed! Orders were done via the kiosks, so I had to give it a try. So glad I did!!!!! The consomme broth that you see in the videos where they dip their foods into - O MY heavens. It was amazing. The spice is there even if you ask for no spicy at all. Looks like it's in their routine, to just have a certain spice level by default (and extra if you want more.) The reason for this review is not to say that it tastes good, but to really mention about the explosion of flavor!!!!!!!!!!!! Goodness gracious, if you want to drink up that broth, by all means please!!!!! I had to contain myself because it was spicy for me, but for those who can tolerate minimal spice - that is probably the thing that should be done. It was so gloriously seasoned and packed with chicken meats in there. Great as an addition to the tacos or food, but drinking it straight up does it justice for sure. The tacos were small but worked out for me, I only needed a snack for a pre-dinner event. The tacos were crispy and may ask for it to be soft for the next go around. All in all, service was fast and friendly. I definitely tipped them. Please consider the workers in the back, who usually do not get the praise that they normally deserve, and for always working extra hard for our meals. Please support your local businesses!

BLUF: Tasty; small portions; very salty. Birria-Landia, which popularized birria tacos in New York City starting with a food truck in Jackson Heights, Queens, has branched out to open several brick-and-mortar locations, including this one inside Tangram Mall's Food Court in Downtown Flushing. We visited twice and ordered: - Beef Birria Tacos: $4.75 each; $5.17 with tax. - Beef Consommé, small: $6.00; $6.53 with tax. - Mulita: $6.00 each; $6.53 with tax. - Chicken Birria Tacos $4.50 each; $4.90 with tax. - Chicken Consommé, small: $6.00; $6.53 with tax. Get the consommé. The tacos and their variations, such as the mulita tacos, may be purchased without consommé, but the consommé is an important pairing that provides moisture and tang. The chicken tacos in particular were dry without the consommé. While Birria-Landia is worth trying at least once, the food here is very salty. Although we found the beef tacos were less salty and the beef birria less acidic than what we've had from the original Jackson Heights food truck, the small portions and overall saltiness of the food means that we'll remain occasional customers. Other: There is an approximate 5% fee for card payments. Tangram Mall provides cafeteria style seating and restrooms, but be forewarned that those restrooms are poorly maintained.

Never made it to the famous Jackson Heights food truck that other Yelpers keep talking about in their reviews. But never mind that, their first physical location is finally opened inside the Tangram Mall in Flushing! The outer appearance is similar to a food truck complete with two tires which I thought it's pretty cute because they did start off as a food truck back then. Customers can order either on the kiosk or at the counter. They accept both cash and card as forms of payment. Female staff is super friendly, helpful and patient in explaining to me about the variety of tacos on the menu. What I'd Ordered: 2x Asada (Beef) Tacos (1 pc each) - $9.50 1x Chorizo (Pork Sausage) Taco (1 pc) - $4.75 1x Guacamole and Chips - $7.00 1x Jarritos Mexican Orange Soda - $3.00 Food came out very fast in 5-6 mins. You wait for the # on the receipt to be called out by the staff. Your order is also shown on the LED screen as well as getting a text message when it's ready. The tacos would cost more than the food truck because it's inside the convenience of a mall. And since it's at a food court, you don't have to worry about not being able to find a restroom/wash your hands nor searching for a place to sit down to enjoy your food. A food court solves all of that because the bathroom is right around the corner and there're plenty of tables and chairs spread out in the area. 1) Beef Tacos: Tender + flavorful + not too salty. Just wished that the meat pieces could've been bigger in size. 2) Pork Sausage Taco: Tender & flavorful but seems to be saltier than the beef. Little bit spicy too but that gives it a kick. The meat can be bigger in chunks. The combo of diced onions + tomatoes + cilantro gives off a refreshing taste. The guacamole is fresh and creamy on top of the meat inside the tacos. I feel like it would have been a good deal if they can do 3 tacos for $12-13 like other taco spots in the city. 3) Guac & Chips: The guacamole is creamy and has enough amount as a dip for the crunchy & not too salty chips. 4) Jarritos Mexican Orange Soda: Tastes like any orange soda out there but looks slicker in a bottle. I think Birria Landia does stand out and bring something different to the table because other eateries and restaurants next door and inside Tangram are mainly of Asian cuisines.

Yay! Finally a good taco place in Downtown Flushing. My boyfriend and I are always on the hunt to try authentic tacos but it's usually always a trip outside of Flushing. Apparently, this place started out as a food truck which I have never been to before they started opening actual storefronts. The pricing is a bit steep because it's located inside the Tangram Food Court, but it's absolutely worth it if you want to save time. I got the Boing Guava Juice, Birria Chicken Taco, Chorizo Taco, and the Birria Beef Taco. The Chorizo Taco was my least favorite but it was still good especially with the guacamole on it. The taco with birria beef was very flavorful and good, but my favorite had to be the Birria taco with chicken because of the crisp tortilla. The guava juice is very concentrated and not too sweet. Will definitely be back to satisfy my taco cravings. The place has 2 kiosks for you to order on your own and even so there's a long wait. Just in time for you to scavenge a seat in the food court!

When I heard that Birria Landia was opening an actual location I was super excited. I been a huge fan of their Jackson heights truck since 2020 but hate it that I could never get their food before 5pm since that's when the truck opens. This location its located in the mall's food court. We got 3 tacos, a mulita and a small consome. Once you order they have a screen with your order number and name telling you long is your wait. Our food took about 10 mins to come out. Everything was delicious but I did find it a tad bit spicier than the food from the truck. I'm super happy to have another location to get amazing Birria tacos

Newly opened 1st Brick & Mortar spot for Birria Landia. Was in the area and saw that there was no line (4:30 PM on Mother's Day), so decided to try them out. You can order at the counter or at the kiosk. I opted to order at the counter. The service was friendly. I paid with card and my receipt has an "operating fee" of $1.06, so maybe pay with cash. The order status screen initially showed 13 minutes for my order to be ready but it only took 3 minutes. I got 3 Tacos and a small Consomme. At $4.75 a taco (before the taxes and fees!), they feel a little small. The flavor is great with the added Consomme, pickled onions and hot sauce. The meat was tender and not dry. The tortilla held together after the 1 hour it took for me to get home and eat. The Consomme has a couple big chunks of meat in it. The saltiness of the broth was balanced with the pickled onions. I could have used another lime to balance the flavors even more. The hot sauce has a good kick to it, and the pickle onions had a tiny bit of spicy as well. Overall happy to see Birria Landia here, since it is more convenient then trekking it to their food trucks, but you're definitely paying extra for that convenience. I'd really only get if I was craving birria tacos.

I am so excited the owners opened a storefront since I could never make it to their food trucks. This is a new location right in the Tangram mall. Very accessible if you are in downtown Flushing. I was greeted by a beautiful young ladies who was excited to introduce their birria to me. I was able to quickly order and wait. In about 5 minutes or so my food was ready for pick up. There were plenty of seating in the food court. The food comes with a side of pickled onions & hot sauce. I took my tacos, dip in that flavor bomb consommé and took a bite. Hmmm... The meat is tender and juicy, the broth is savory but not too salty like some places I've been to. It is authentically good!! Will come for more for sure!!!

I've been wanting to try this taco, so glad it's now open in flushing. So convenient and Chill inside the mall, what a great addition to the already awesome food court. I got the taco, torta and small consume. I get why it's so popular. Everything is so flavorful. First time eating Birria taco, and I'm a fan. I do like the torta a little bit more. Don't miss the consume! I saw people ordering just the taco, feel so wrong IMO

Was so happy to know they were coming to Tangram! Honestly one of THEE best places to get Birria tacos. Usually I like to jus dipmy tacos into the consomme soup, but Birria Landia's consomme soup, I will drink it as well. Their consomme soup is DELICIOUS!!!

SO HAPPY THIS CAME TO FLUSHING! I would take the train to Jackson heights back then to get these tacos and I'm glad it's in Tangram now. However, the prices are higher than the truck but that's understandable as now they have to pay rent to Tangram. We went on grand opening day so we received a free item as well. I wish I knew because I ordered 3 tacos and a consommé already lol service was quick and there's plenty of seating at the Tangram food court. Turnover is quick so it's easy to find seats Taste just as good as the food truck!

This Birria Landia Location is located inside a mall on the 2nd floor food hall in Flushing NY. Highly recommend trying this spot as their tacos and consume are so flavorful. Service is hospitable, they take your order at the counter and call when your order is ready. Plenty of seating around as it's a food hall. I went on a Tuesday afternoon around lunch time and found plenty of seating. Highly recommend this location!

Birria Landia finally opens in the Tangram Mall food court! Grand opening was announced today, May 9th but was able to get food there the previous night (might've been a soft opening). I first had Birria Landia at their food truck in Jackson heights, I'm glad they opened another location so the travel isn't as far. Onto food, 3 tacos and small sized consomme totaled to $23.10 (included tax and used credit card). Onto food first thing I noticed was that it was less oily though I don't know if it's due to my ordering in the past from their food truck ahead of time. But overall it's delicious and it hits the spot for when I get a taco craving. Service was great, the girl at the register was pleasant and briefly explained about their order system. There's going to be a screen at the pick up area that shows the status of your order. You'll also get text message notification. Ambiance wise, it's within a food court. Of course don't expect fine dining, but you can get a seat and table unlike if you were to get food from their truck. Overall recommend, Birria Landia definitely brings something new to the table for Tangram!

The birria tacos were delicious and came out pretty fast. Great option for a quick bite while shopping in Tangram

Waited so long for this place to open in Tangram and it's finally open! Now I no longer have to trek all the way to Jackson Heights (after 5pm) to try out their food truck. But oof...prices are kind of high. The birria taco item on the menu shows 3 tacos so I thought it was $4.75 for 3. How silly of me because you can't even get tacos for that price at Taco Bell. It's $4.75 for ONE small taco!! Taste-wise, it was good though. Loved the meat and all the herbs and spices that they added to the taco. Forked over another $6 for their consome and, again, very flavorful and loved the huge chunks of birria meat in the soup, but rather pricy. Server was very friendly. Glad I finally got to try this famous birria taco place but will probably opt for a more wallet friendly option in the mall next time.

After visiting the O.G truck in Jackson Heights.I was excited for them to open a storefront location at Tangram Mall but not only did it open super late compared to other restaurants.The food was a let down the tacos were super small and the price wasn't worth it. My food was cold and the size was so small and their menu offers things they don't even have !

They finally opened!! Yay!!! They were supposed to open last year but there were some hiccups - better late than never... . I never made it to their taco truck - I know, shocking!!! I've only heard great things about them..they've expanded so that's a good sign... . Tacos: a tad small if you ask me, and for $4.75, it's over $5 with the tax. It's a good taco, I can't say it blows my mind. The meat was very moist and tender. And because it's on the small side, you don't get too many bites, and being my first time trying, I can't say it was enough to get a true tasting. . Consommé- no this was off the hook. We got a small for $6, and it way too much for 2 tacos. It's probably enough for 10+ tacos. The consommé is deep, rich and beefy. It is truly the star, without it, I don't think the taco would taste as good. I would get just the consommé. It comes with a decent about of meat in it too. Chun ate the rest like a soup. Probably a tad too salty for a soup in my opinion. The next time I make tacos at home, I'm gonna pickup some consommé . I can't compare this to their food truck(s) since I've never had it. I think overall it's good and I'm glad it's here in Flushing. Tuesdays will never be the same. . I also noticed prices varies by location, based on what I found on google maps.

I've been waiting for Birria Landia to open up in Flushing because I haven't got to trying it in their other locations. I came during their grand opening, so I received a free carne asada taco with any purchase. I ordered the birria taco ($4.75 each), consume (small $6), mulitas ($6). The birria taco came with 2 corn shells filled with stew shredded beef, onions, cilantro, their sauce, along with a slice of lime on the side. I enjoyed it with the savory consume, drenched in lime juice, and drizzled the hot sauce on top. The carne asada and mulitas was not great in my opinion. The taco meat and shell were dry. The mulitas seemed promising since it is made with chopped birria, onion, cilantro, sauce melted mozzarella, and grated cheese, but all I tasted was cheese. I think overall the price is a little steep compared to other taco places I have tried and enjoyed.

DIRECTIONS: Coming from Prince/39th, 1/2 way down block on right, Tangram mall. Head towards escalator on left, "Food Hall" directly in front of you on 2nd floor, Birria Landia on left. See photos. See other reviews of food, most are spot on.

Omg, I've been watching this place for monnnthhhss waiting for it to finally open in Tangram mall. Stopped by today and saw it was open, and ran, didn't walk, to grab some birria tacos. I tried their chicken one. I ate it so fast, I didn't even get a picture. So flavorful, spicy, tangy onions, nice green sauce. Delicious!! Excited to see more diverse food options at Tangram!

The besttt Birria there is! You need to try it for yourself! There are no words to describe the deliciousness and freshness!!

I love how I don't have to drive all the way to Jackson Heights for some good birria tacos anymore. Haven't gotten from the food truck location in a while but the Tangram location tastes the same. Ordered on the kiosk and got my order very quickly. They have a bunch of different options compared to the truck, will definitely try another time. We stuck to the classics and the birria tostadas, birria tacos & consome. Plenty of seating inside Tangram as well.

I was absolutely impressed with the burst of flavor the Birria tacos had. they were so good, however they were also small for the price tag. I think I will only go there if I'm desperately craving for them, but I won't be going to just have them on the regular. the space was pretty cute mimicking a food truck. I had my food to go.

Loved it. The taste is great (as expected), and the dining experience inside the modern Tangram mall is much more pleasant than eating next to a food cart. The cashier lady is also quite nice. Remember to bring cash to avoid the credit card extra charge. I read a few reviews that say food is on the salty side, but I feel the tacos & Chicken Quesabirria & tostadas all taste just right. The beef stew soup (consomé) does taste a little salty to me, but that's because I directly drank from it -- if I use it for dipping then no issue at all. Will definitely come back from time to time and try different menu options.

I've been eating Birria Landia for a long time at the Jackson Heights location. I was so excited when they opened up in Tangram. There is a noticeable difference in the beef. The consomé is incredibly greasy. To the point that it's almost inedible. The consomé seems to be just made up of the leftover trimmings and fat of the beef. At the Jackson Heights location it is literally beef in the consomé. Here, it's mainly fat. We had to stop eating it because the grease was just too much. Same for the tacos. This is how you lose the clientele. Making small changes to save money and charging more, but the loyal customers do notice.

Went to see if the hype was warranted. It definitely had flavor, but every item was a bit too salty. The soup was too salty to finish. Three tacos and soup made for an okay dinner-sized portion. The Asada was the standout. Return visit? Probably not. Also, not worth the price.

Portions are quite small for the price. Best one was the taco. Consomé was extreme salty, but paired well with the other items. Glad we tried it. Everything was packaged well to go.

Food is so good!!! Love for a late night snack. 100/100 would absolutely recommend to all friends.

Nicely seasoned tacos...consommé was a bit salty by itself but perfect for dipping the tacos. Tacos a bit pricy for the size. No complaints other than that.
