Birrieria San Marcos

Whenever I come home from college this place is my absolute STAPLE! It is the best birria I have ever had. I can 100% say I am obsessed with this taco truck! Luz is the sweetest woman I have ever met! She has amazing customer service and is quick on the job. I come to that truck not only for the delicious tacos but to see Luz. I adore her!

The best birria tacos en todo el valle! I have been coming here almost every week since I tried them for the first time, Luz already knows my order by memory 😅 It’s always nice to show up and be welcomed like that. Thanks, Luz, for the excellent service!

Luz has been amazing since day one. She’s extremely attentive to our orders and always makes sure everything is perfect. Her customer service is truly over the top, she’s the main reason we drive such a long distance just to come to this specific location. Luz is the kind of person who makes every visit worth it!

I come to this location almost every Sunday and I’m always greeted kindly by Luz. I love the way she cooks and makes my queso tacos, but the attention to detail in customer service is also a 10/10. The best birria in town, and also a special employee in Luz.

I’ve been coming to Birrieria San Marcos for years, and it has never disappointed! The food is always delicious, fresh, and full of flavor, and Yahaira staff are consistently friendly, welcoming, and attentive. I will definitely continue being a loyal customer and highly recommend Birrierria San Marcos to anyone looking for great food and great service!

Came from out of town for a wedding and had to try some legendary Birria tacos! Loved them, except I wasn't sure if it was because I came near closing time but the tacos looked a bit weak. They were delicious though! Consome was on point as well as the horchata!

Great spot look at these Just ordered ty

Omg the best tacos ever ! This place is amazing and the hospitality from everyone is outstanding especially from my favorite person Luz she is amazing and always so helpful you have to try the food !

Amazing service la senora Luz great serve and very nice Well be coming back from Valencia jose Jimenez

Always love going here the food is so good and Luz always gives us an amazing service

I would really recommend this place to anyone. Been coming here for quite some time and have never had a problem. The people here are all respectful and of course the food never disappoints. The best Birria in SFV. Maria is a sweetheart. Please check this place out I highly recommend.

I've been visiting this food truck at least every other week, and it never disappoints. Luz, who's usually there, always makes my experience even better with her friendly and welcoming attitude. She's incredibly sweet and takes the time to help with my order, making sure I get exactly what I want. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for great food and excellent service. Luz and the team truly make this place special!

Let me just say that things have gotten better here. The portions of the queso birria tacos are superb. The taste is amazing. Their green salsa is delicious amazing. Worth the price. Had the pleasure of having Luz take my order. Super nice and friendly. The staff are quick and ready to prep the food once the order is placed. 100% satisfied.

In short: delicious if you eat it there, don't take it to go. Everything tastes like everything else. Super one note. The whole menu is a race against time to experience TEXTURE. This texture fades extremely quickly as the minutes tick by. True for any restaurant, but especially true here. I finally got around to trying Birrieria San Marcos. I bought $100+ worth of food which included: Quesobirria, Soft tacos, Tacos dorados, Tacos dorados with cheese, Burrito, Tacos San Marcos, Consome, and Rice. The good: I was able to eat a soft taco on the spot before getting my order into the car and driving 2.5 miles home. That first taco was divine. I didn't dress it up at all, just took it down raw and it was good. The soft tortilla and consome soaked birria worked well together. The rest of the food came home. The first bites at home were solid. The dorados with cheese was especially good. Two of the three salsas slapped. One wasn't my cup of tea, as it lacked flavor and seasoning and brought only heat. There was no salsa edible to my heat intolerant wife. The bad: Everything is one note. Once things cooled a bit and textures started to settle into some kind of homogeneous middle ground, everything tasted like everything else. Made me realize that everything kinda is everything else. Consomé soaked tortilla, crisped and/or heated and filled with stewed beef, sometimes with cheese, sometimes without. The quesadilla is kind of like the dorados with cheese, which is kinda like the mulita, which isn't far from the vampiro. The burrito wasn't much different either. The tacos San Marcos was the only texture/flavor break in the mix, which I was grateful for. The ugly: The beef is overstewed. As such, it's dry. Unavoidable, as it's stewed in hot broth all day. Because of this it's necessary to eat the food immediately, before the consomé spills or soaks away from the meat. The maximal deliciousness is super high. The floor is pretty far down relatively.

The location specifically on Woodley is the slowest one. It's always always a long wait even when there's no line. The cashier is not friendly at all, zero customer service skills. However, the quality of the food is always great.

The food was delicious, it's opened late and has many options depending on your cravings. We tried the Birria Ramen and it was so good had so much meat we were able to add another ramen and had enough for 2 more servings. The consume is so good and savory. The tacos are crispy and not soggy and just are so delicious. You will be there a bit waiting because they are so full but it is worth it. Definitely going back.

We placed a $50 order and even tipped $10, but were really disappointed with the food quality. My birria burrito had a large, unchewable chunk of beef skin (or hide) in it -- it was rubbery and inedible, and totally ruined the meal. For the price we paid, we expected much better quality and attention to detail. Definitely needs better trimming and quality control. I can confidently say we're never going back.

I had a birria burrito with a side of consome. The burrito wasn't packed tightly, so everything was falling out as I was trying to eat it and since it was cheese wrapped, I wasn't able to rewrap it. The birria was dry and a bit tough, but the overall flavor was good, especially the consome. I would be willing to try eating here again since the flavor was there, but more than likely wouldn't try the birria again.

I ordered the birria ramen. It was a broth and top ramen. Where is my damn meat? It tasted ok but paying $17 for top ramen with Birria broth and no meat? Yeah, I would not be coming back to this food truck for sure. If you want to make money, stop cheating customers and cut down the people work in the truck. You don't need three people, just have two people and give customers what we pay for. ¡No bueno!

Been coming here for years! Always amazing food with great service. Check out the weekly daily specials so you can try different options. Honestly can't go wrong with anything you order! Customer service is always great. Always friendly greeted with a smile by the cashier Maria! Definitely come check this place out if you want to try the best birria in town.

I recently tried birrieeria San Marcos and it was amazing! The birria tacos was delicious has a lot of flavor The service was amazing there super friendly and the atmosphere was welcoming I'll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend it to anyone who loves birria ! :)

Luz has been amazing since day one. She's extremely attentive to our orders and always makes sure everything is perfect. Her customer service is truly over the top, she's the main reason we drive such a long distance just to come to this specific location. Luz is the kind of person who makes every visit worth it!

Siempre voy allí me encanta la comida y fue atendía muy bien y la muchacha Luz siempre está atenta personas como ella deben de tener allí

I absolutely love this place. I've been a regular customer for about a year and have consistently had positive experiences coming here. They have great daily deals depending on the day of the week which makes their tasty food very affordable. The workers are very polite and kind, and have even given me an extra item on occasions. Parking is rough given that it's a food truck but they do have some cute tables set up to eat at! Highly recommend, you won't get anything as tasty as theirs anywhere else!

Always a must to come here on wednesday because of the deal they have for mulitas. Food is always delicious and the service is super friendly. The only thing I will say is that i wish they had a guacamole salsa. Overall tho i believe it's the best spot for birria.

SCAM * Order elsewhere I ordered 2 agua frescas through a food delivery app. According the information in the app, they should have EACH been 32 oz. I only received two 12 oz bottles for $16 total. I was scammed and can't even receive a full refund through the app. I will not order from here again.

I have never frequented a food establishment as much as this truck. At first (about two years ago) I went because the food was decent. Slowly I got to see just how much care and attention some of the employees there gave to their patrons. If I ever had concerns or questions about what to try, Luz would always help me figure out just how I can order the perfect meal. Customer service beyond and its the reason I go to this truck all the way from Stevenson Ranch. If I go to this truck I know I'm getting good food, listening to good music and having an amazing experience with the staff. A huge plus, I call ahead so Luz makes sure my food is ready to go once I get there! Highly recommend her service.

I really enjoyed eating here the food is good but lately the woman who works the cashier has been with an attitude. Now when you order through the phone they don't have your food ready so you still need to wait once you get there.

The food always in a good spot , tasty and most of the time open. The cooks are nice and welcoming . Make you want to come back .

My favorite tacos in LA!!! Birrieria San Marcos is 30 minutes from me, but I make that drive because these tacos are THAT good! Crispy. Cheesy. Perfect. P.S. Their horchata slaps too!

I ordered food from here via Postmates but when we recovered our order it was the wrong order, although the receipt on the bag showed the order I was supposed to get. Somehow the workers at the truck got mine mixed up with someone else's, which is understandable. I called the truck directly, and Nick, the owner, said it was their fault and was extremely apologetic for the mishap. He went above and beyond by letting me and my fam have a free meal on the house whenever we wanted and he came thru for us the other day. Food was great as we've had their food from before. Thank you Nick & team for being as professional as possible.

Wow, just wow my family came from out of town and we decided to get some Mexican food! Man this place was horrible the came via DoorDash and first thing we noticed was multiple items were missing. Then we tried to eat what we had omg! The rice was stale and felt like it was microwaved about 20 times! The beans were rancid and spoiled I wish I smelled it first but I didn't!! And put that In my mouth what a horrible experience! The tacos had zero flavor and were very greasy oh yea and the salsas were very spoiled the little containers they came In were plump and the smell!! I wish I could rate them a zero never again

Condiments are self serve, so it's nice you get to grab as much as you wish. Taste is good. But the serving is nothing like the photos you see online. The consome they gave was just the broth, no meat. And to think we paid for it. We're not sure if you're supposed to ask for those. But they never asked.

This use to be my go to birria spot but every time I've gone in the past few months it just get worse and worse. I ordered 2 queso birria tacos & a caldo.. $26. Had to wait 20mins for my order. The two tacos were absolutely flavorless, the meat was tender though. When I got to the soup, it had at least a quarter inch of fat floating on top separated from the broth. And at least 20% of the meat in the soup was chewy fat. If you're gonna call it "consommé" at least clarify it...

Stingy with the red onion but taste good way too much grease tho . The queso taco is alright bc they're stingy as hell with the cheese too... for the price do better .

I got the birria ramen and it's soo salty I can't even eat it had to throw the whole thing out not a great experience especially since it cost 16-17

Just finished my food and let me tell youuuuuu ! It NEVER misses with the San Marcos tacos The people there are so welcoming , they even gave me plates for my kids to split the combos . Definitely a go too spot for breakfast or dinner Thank you guys for the great food, we'll definitely be coming back !!

Will order their sample plates to share with friends today. Will get back to my review for the results of our Birrieria San Marcos lunch. I have already raved about the deliciousness of the birrieria selections; so far my favorites: vampiros, queso tacos, and consome'...

We ordered the birria with consome and it is more fat than meat. The consome was mostly grease barely edible. Order two agua frescas, we didn't try them till we got home and they had gone bad! This place used to be good but every time we go something goes wrong with our order.

We love Beria. This is a really good stop for Beria tacos on Woodley. The service is great and the ambience is wonderful.

I have been following them on IG and decided to give them a try. I went yesterday and was kind of disappointed about the overall experience. 1. I called to place my order at around 2:45pm. They said the food would be ready in 20min. I was charged for the order over the phone. I came at 3:15pm and my order was not yet ready. I had to wait another 10min while someone who did a walk up order received their items before I received mine. 2. I asked if they had any taco rainy day specials, (after seeing some people post about rainy day specials online), and they said they were not offering any at this time. I guess it was only on some rainy days that they offer rainy day specials. 3. They are pricey, especially for being a food truck. One birria taco with no cheese is around $5. I ordered 12 plain birria tacos, (no cheese) and 3 plain consome's, (no ramen), and it cost around $82. Regarding the taste, it was definitely delicious. I just wish they made their prices a little more reasonable, (maybe $3 for a plain taco), and were consistent on their specials. If they offer rainy day specials, it should be honored on every rainy day. Also, if the customer orders and pays over the phone, please have their order ready at the time you give them to come by and pick it up. Parking is a hassle, since it's a food truck parked next to an apartment building, and people have to double park to run out to get their items.

One of the best new things I've tried this year. The flavors are so developed and profound. The regular soft tacos were good, and they have a bogo special today, but the cheese taco was incredible. Next time I'll just get them with cheese. Very affordable price. Quick service. They only have a few tables and chairs in the scorching heat so plan ahead.

Cuidan la salsa como si el dueño se las cobrará a los trabajadores Les pregunté si mi orden tenía salsa y me aseguró que si cuando llegue ala casa no avía ni una salsa pues ya no es lo mismo comer así sin salsa pedí una orden de 20 queso tacos No decía calificar pero no deja poner el comentario si no calificas

Incredibly delicious!!! My son brought a plate special home and the vampiro was ssssooo good! Will definitely try more of their specials!!! ‍

Food is decent. Priced very reasonably. Parking wasn't too bad but could be better. Lots of cheese in the queso tacos the crispy out side tortilla was crispy but stale if that makes sense. Employees were super nice.

Dried assssss birria and the lady there with a fake tat has the worse attitude. Come on really $4.70 for 1 small taco

FOOD QUALITY: All I can say is no no no smh, was a let down. Did not hit the spot. Yes, granted crispy shells and cheesy meats with sauce will always be enjoyable, the quality was very poor. If you're eating birria for the first time I'm sure you'll love it but if you've been traveling around so cal to find the best birria, this place is a no go. I made sure to eat this fresh, 1-2 min out of the kitchen so they wouldn't get soggy from the birria juices but it was still disappointing. * MEAT was stewed so it'd be soft. However the strands weren't separated enough so overall it was still very chewy. Meat was not as juicy as other birria joints. Flavor was decent, authentic, but lacked the wow flavor or spice kick. * CHEESE was clumpy instead of meltey and stringy * toasted TORTILLA from Vampiro & taco shells were extremely hard in which I'd have to forcefully twist my head to the side to rip off a chunk of tortilla. * CONSUME was SO overly salty. Dipped with tacos, it's hard to tell. However the salty Consume with ramen, was unbearable to finish by myself. I don't remember the last time I got heart burn but after eating a few bites of the ramen and Quesataco + Vampiro, I drove away with sustained heartburn and regret. * one PRO: they were extremely generous with salsa, limes, napkins, onion/cilantro, portion size. Really great customer service. TIPS: * ACCEPTS Credit Card * PARKING: street parking. There's a temp white curb/loading zone in front of the truck. Fits about 3 cars. There's also a corner parking lot not designated for the food truck but perhaps if you come with a few friends you could temporarily park and watch your car there. PRICES: double the price of most birria joints. They do offer bigger taco sizes but idk if that's better because it made it harder to dip into the consume. For three items it came out to be $22 for lunch. * Birria Ramen (secret menu) $14 (the broth is the exact same as the consume so no need to order a side cup of consume) * QuesoTaco $4 * Vampiro $4 * Mulita $4 * QuesaBirria (quesadilla) $10

Thanks to our buddy we finally were able to try birria! Every bite of the mulitas, birria tacos, and queso tacos dipped in consome were simply amazing! We cooked up ramen noodles at home, put them in the consome, and savored them. Condiments of red onions, cilantro, and radishes were fresh. Everything was packed with flavor and totally hit the spot! :)

The hype is real...I always see people post these birria tacos on the gram and it makes my mouth water. They taste even better than they look. We called ahead for our order so we didn't have to wait at the food truck. Everything is super delish, each bite packed with flavor. Queso taco is a hard shelled taco with birria and cheese. So good when dipped in the consome and with hot sauce. The vampiro has fried cheese as the top shell over the birria. They had me a "cheese". The ramen is packed with noodles, birria and the most flavorful broth.

This was my first time trying birria tacos ! I came here with my partner for lunch and let me tell you the service was absolutely amazing! We told the cashier what is their most popular dish and we went with it ! Everyone in the area recommended this place ! I ordered about 4 tacos and it changed my taste palette! They are so good ! And seasoned so well ! The crisp of the tortilla with the cheese is amazing! The area where it's located it is small but you can easily notice it ! You do need to park on the street or in the rear parking lot but super small ! Overall best experience ever ! Definitely be coming back again !

Okay, so I drove all the way from South OC to LA to eat at Birrieria San Marcos. I knew it would either be 100% worth it or I would regret my decision and waste a ton of gas on the round trip. Thank goodness it was 100% worth it! I knew it was a food truck and that I would eat in my car, so I loaded up my car with napkins and hand sanitizer and hit the road. When I arrived (Friday afternoon), there wasn't a line. I quickly ordered my food and told them I would be back in a few as I wanted to grab a coffee from the shop down the street. I paid with Venmo which was convenient cause I didn't have any cash on me. I grabbed my coffee and came back and my order was ready to go. I ordered 3 carne asada tacos with consome (broth). I quickly ran to my car because it smelled SO GOOD and I had to eat it right away. I appreciated that they put the onion/cilantro and radishes in a bag so I can put however much I please on my tacos. There were also 3 different kinds of salsa in the bag and also plenty of limes - can't have too many limes IMO. Anyways, back to the food. OMG the tacos were seriously to die for. The broth was so flavorful and not too oily. The pieces of meat in the broth were so good. Honestly, my mouth is watering as I am writing this and reliving my meal. The food was seriously so good. Everything was packed with flavor and my entire meal was gone in 4 minutes. In the end, my face was covered in salsa, consome, and pieces of taco were stuck to my face. It was that good and I was sad when it was over. I drove back to OC half asleep because that food put me to into food coma. I will 100% be back for more even though it is a drive. They have plenty of street parking nearby. Be sure to bring lots of napkins and sanitizer if you are planning on eating in the car!

A great place to satisfy your Birria cravings! This is a food truck on Woodley and Parthenia. Walk up and order, or else call to place an order and pay over the phone. It's interesting that the consome (broth) is separate and priced at $4 - that's not the norm, from what I've seen elsewhere, but it's absolutely worth every penny here. Ask for the queso Birria taco and consome for the real experience! Cash is easiest, but they do accept card. The wait isn't crazy, but this place is very popular so always expect to wait for your order. Street parking or in the nearby lots is your best bet in this area.

Where have these tacos been, all my life?! Oh my sweet Baby Jesus. Please believe me when I tell you these tacos are DA BOMB!!! Of course there was a line when we arrived, but they were taking orders pretty quickly. Yes these tacos are pretty pricey, but I thought every bite was worth it. We ordered the queso tacos, consommé, and a mulita. The queso tacos were perfectly crispy and the melted cheese was just delectable. The mulita was pretty yummy too. It's just a softer version of the queso tacos. And baby, that consommé just took me over the top. I seriously can't stop thinking about these tacos and if I could, I would eat them daily. I'm obsessed. When I go back, I'm going to try the ramen noodles with consommé. That looks pretty yummy too. As for COVID compliance/environment, most people in line were wearing their masks and the staff had on masks and they provided hand sanitizer. People were socially distanced as they waited for their food.

Absolute best quesadilla! Dip it in the consume and it's a 10000/10! Tacos are bomb as well! Very good quality. Love this place

I'm not gonna be an a*****e. The tacos are pretty good, I think they would've been a lot better if they hadn't forgot my consome. Honest mistake, I understand. really bummed bout my dinner.

I really enjoyed everything I had here. I tried the vampiro and of course the taco dorado. I love the cheese here and the vampiro dipped in the cosomé is really good. The tacos were fresh and I love the salsas here. You can preorder as well which is a plus.

The Birria tacos were OK, but there is better to be had in the SFV (see my other reviews). The Birria and Consume were bland, so much so that i didn't think the Consume was worth the extra calories. The salsa though... that was the salsa from the old San Marcos (I think they may have changed owners, I had not been there in years) and it was excellent.
