The 14 Best Spots for Beef Birria Tacos in LA | Eater LA

"One of the biggest stars to emerge from the Tijuana birria taco wars has been Birrieria Villalobos. The truck runs every day but Wednesday on the border of Boyle Heights and East LA, just north of the famed Los Cinco Puntos." - Farley Elliott

Was one of my favorite taco spots till today it became a nightmare I went to get the taco tuesday deal I got 6 tacos with onion and cilantro when I got my tacos they had no onions or cilantro and there was a piece of glass in my taco that is insane be careful ordering from here! Was trying to get in contact with manager/owner but seems to be no way to reach them.

We loved finding this food truck and getting delicious tacos birrieria, rice and beans. The server & cook were friendly and got our order out quickly. Definitely recommended when you're in the area and need quick, tasty lunch!

Okay food, nothing special IMO. The birria has some flavor, the rice and beans were lacking flavor completely. Their salsa was good so made up for the lack in taste. They are on Sepulveda Blvd so street parking or park in the plaza parking lot. They do take credit/debit cards.

Beans not cooked all the way through Rice is chunky Meat is well cooked but no flavor Service was trash, didn’t even know how much I was paying till I swiped my card $42 for 2 freaking plates. Never going back

I was so amazed by how tasty and fulfilling this tacos were. They were small tacos but very well served I got well satisfied with four tacos and I tell you anywhere I see this nice truck I’m stopping again; even if I am not hungry. Lol

Birrieria Villalobos food truck does not disappoint. I love their nachos loaded with birria and all the fixings. Their birria quesadilla is pretty good, and the birria ramen is to die for.

Honestly this was exactly what I needed. On a Friday night you can find this food truck on the street of the petco parking lot. This gives you plenty of spades to park at. It's amongst some other good food trucks. I got here 30 minutes before close so I'm glad they were still cooking. Ordered: regular beef tacos with the soup on the side. It came out to only $10 which was a great deal honestly. I thought the tacos were pretty tasty and hit the spot. The soup was so flavorful. I'd definitely come back to try other stuff!

I've been there three times and they do not disappoint I've had their birria plate, their sampler plate and their Ramen soup and they're all good the flavor of the meat is awesome and tasty. I recommend this place to anybody if they want good tasty food.

I always pass by this truck on my way to the gym and one day, I figured that it would be okay to try it once and then go hard with the workout later in the week. I parked at a lot adjacent to food truck and saw that the line was moving fast. I scoped out the menu for awhile since it had been a long time since I tried this type of dish. I decided to order the tacos with cheese and a burrito too to see how consistent they were across their items. I have to say that I actually had to wait to get home before giving it a try because it would have been messy and greasy in the car. I needed a plate and more space in case the food would get all over the place. These were different, yet so delicious! I recommend this spot if you have not tried it yet!

Call to order if you want a lot of food. When I lived in the valley they were my go to Birria spot. We would always order ahead and pick up. Highly suggest you get extra consome and limon. I use to buy tacos to share with friends / coworkers. Love stopping by their truck when in the area.

Flavor is basic. Seems high on the oily side. You can tell right away from their consome. I've had MUCH better birria in other places around the city. Even Red's tacos are better. Their birria seems very dry also. I wouldn't recommend it. Try h the birria on PCH & Figueroa (Harbor City). It's called Hijos De Villa. That's top notch birria my friends.

My favorite taco truck in the area. I've had the quesatacos, the quesadilla, and the tacos of course. I love that they are generous with the amount of meat they put in them. Always hits the spot.

Their most popular item on the menu is their quesataco estilo Tijuana. I ordered the quesataco and a regular taco de birria along with their consommé. This is the first taco truck in my life that hands you salt packets with your tacos. It gives you an indication that you're going to need it. I took one bite out of each taco and both were bland. You'll definitely need salt packets for their tacos. Or you'll need to dip them in their consommé. What they excel here is their consommé "con todo" with heaping amounts of birria de res. My suggestion as is you come for the consommé and ask for tortillas on the side. It's a good option in the area but it definitely isn't the best.

Delicious, fresh made to order food. My tacos were standout all star quality! The salsa nice and spicy.

Our family specializes in Birria, We make it all the time for specially events. We know a thing or two about good tasting Birria because not too many people know how to make it. So my wife was craving some bee tacos this evening and we happen to find this truck on yelp. Contrary to some reviews. We found it to be really tasty the consistency and tender meat and flavor was amazing. We definitely will be coming back whenever we need out birria taco fix.

This Taco Trunk is amazing! Great find as I wanted to grab some birria tacos and wanted Teddys Red Tacos but came across this place and absolutely loved it! I had two tacos dorado and they had so much meat! The salsa is spicy but great tasting and the consume has so much flavor! They are quick and made to order so you know you will have fresh tacos each time. The only thing is that there is no dinning area so you must eat in your car or on the side- but regardless this is a good taco fix!

Had a quesi taco and a quesi Dorado taco. These didn't travel too well and considering there's nowhere to eat there, you're obviously getting them to go. They tasted fine but nothing more. If I were to go back I think I'd get a Burris quesadilla instead.

I came here and there was no line. The tacos themselves were really good. I ordered tacos, taco dorado, a vampiro and 2 consommes. I wish I bought more food though because it was that good. As far as the service, I did feel like the girl was annoyed by me asking questions, but honestly, i was googling what things were and I got a lot of different answers, so I asked her. She's a little quiet and she seemed like she didn't want to explain, so I just let it go and ordered random stuff. I think if they had an explanation of what everything is, that would be quite beneficial. Her customer service didn't bother me. It wasn't bad, it was just quiet, and she was nice enough. I like they have keto options and usually I am keto, but today I wanted the full effect of this deliciousness. I can't wait to come back and try it again. Also: CASH ONLY.

They had no signs or menu posted on what they offer or prices except for this https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/birrieria-villalobos-los-angeles-2?select=bnCtWewHd10lhCpeRPZimw&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg Villalobos is not on the same level as Teddy's or La Unica, for a lover of Birria I'd say above average but nothing to WOW you here. Consome con Todo Large ($13.00) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/birrieria-villalobos-los-angeles-2?select=-Ymranyy7MXnvLTVtL8Raw&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg Birria de Res/Beef, the Consome was clean but I thought lacking a bit in flavor, the shredded beef was lean I found no fat but portion size of actual beef was small for the price https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/birrieria-villalobos-los-angeles-2?select=dY5Ip-YebCLcxx2JfCim5w&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg the salsa roja was nice and had a kick, tortillas were out of a bag but fresh. 3.5-Stars Quesadilla con Todo ($8.00) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/birrieria-villalobos-los-angeles-2?select=nqO1bBPOxkGvvVYaV9lPaQ&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg This was packed with meat but for a Quesadilla it lacked CHEESE.... Which made the flour tortilla very soggy and fell apart while eating https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/birrieria-villalobos-los-angeles-2?select=YjAtzsBCJ4h-defTTRzE9g&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg needed to finish off using a fork. 3-Stars Taco Dorado con Todo ($2.35) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/birrieria-villalobos-los-angeles-2?select=YjAtzsBCJ4h-defTTRzE9g&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg Tacos are a bit on the smaller side like 2 bites, I liked how the tortilla was lightly crisp, just wish it had more meat. 3-Stars Not the best Birria in NELA, but I'd come back for tacos if they had no lines......

Great spot to grab a quick bite if you are in the area. The consome was my favorite part as it had Birria meat inside and spicy. The tacos could use a bit more flavor but dipping them In the sauce did the job. Avoid the Aguas Fresca, they are pre bottled and taste like corn syrup

I went to the Sepulveda location. Is very easy to park. Delicious tacos and mulitas. Tasty and flavored. We wait for about 15 minutes. Highly recommended.

The food was not it. the consume wasn't worth the 4 extra dollars and had no color. rice was undercooked. 1/10 would not recommend.

The burrito was good, but the horchata I was given was expired. I wouldn't had minded it but the taste.

Came here for a lunch after hiking in Angeles National Forest. The food truck is inconspicuous on a corner in Highland Park; you'll miss it unless you know what you're looking for. Everything on the menu is beef - only items you need to think through are if you want their seasoned taco shells and/or if you want cheese. We ordered two tacos, two queso taco dorad, and one quesadilla. Plenty of food for two hungry people. Everything was flavorful although no taste was particularly unique. The hot sauce is good and packs heat. I'll be back

We tried the quesa-taco dorado, and they turned out to be quite delicious. Our local favorite is Birrieria San Marcos, but this place is pretty decent for birria as well.

Found you on IG, shared you with a partner and he wanted to try the torta immediately! Saw the birria ramen and knew we had to try that too!!! Omg!!! We're so happy tummy right now. We also ordered the birria plate, 2 vampiros and a queso taco dorado. You did not disappoint. Muy sabroso y delicioso!!! Can't wait to order from you again. Thank you so much for also including your menu with our order!

I went there today with my girlfriend, the service was good and the food also, but I didn't feel comfortable since one of the cooks was ALL THE TIME without a mask. We complained with the lady who said that was in charge and after we left we stayed for a few minutes in the car and the guy was still without the mask, completely careless. It's funny because they have like 3 signs saying to wear a face mask but their own employees doesn't follow the rules... COVID numbers going up and they act like nothing happened. Better take your business to a place where they care about customers safety.

Had really high hopes after hearing good things about the East LA truck but I was extremely disappointed. My tacos dorados were tacos QUEMADOS. I couldn't even chew through the tacos because they were burnt and overly crispy.

They always mess up simple orders. Each time I come, it's a new worker and they always can't follow simple directions.

This place is ridiculous. Took 45 minutes to get.... FOUR TACOS and a drink. Extremely unorganized and laid back. This is not by any means worth it. Save your time.

Food is super good!! Had consome & tacos dorados the consome had very good flavor and the tacos had a good amount of meat! Ordered thru uber eats for pickup and was ready when we arrived! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a new birria.

First time I had birria tacos and I wasn't disappointed they were delicious!! My family of 6 ordered quesatacos dorados with Jamaica water and we were all very satisfied. The lady taking our order was also super friendly and welcoming. Definitely going back

Customer service is horrible, cashier needs to at least look you in the eye.. she not only doesn't even greet you, she even avoids eye contact. Ordered to-go 5 tacos, 1 quesadilla, and a medium consomé .. look, 1 single salsa for all this food. Birria is bomb though.

Delicious! The tostado ones are insane. I've stopped here a few times, they're consistent and pretty fast. Good kick to the birria and the radish is always fresh. Definitely recommend them if you want delicious birria.

Good food, but not the best experience... Was at this location recently because the birria is good, when i approached the Order window the young lady at the register was on a personal phone call and had us wait until she was done with her phone call to take our order. Good food but sub-par service at the order window.

If you are looking for a taco truck with beef tacos and a vegan taco option. Your in luck. This place is the bomb. Bring cash cause they don't take anything else. My only regret was not ordering more tacos. They were tasty and filling. Nothing super fancy just good old fashion street tacos.

Yelp
*STOP* look no further for the BEST BIRRIA IN THE VALLEY! Villalobos Catering truck serves the best birria. The meat is consistently tender and flavorful, not to mention the perfectly dense & hearty broth. The salsa is firey hot, so if you're a first timer, I recommend you use this condiment sparingly. The queso taco or the militas never disappoint because they are GENEROUSLY stocked with the sumptuous carne. The staff and servers are super cool and professional. Villalobos is one our absolute favorites. FIVE STARS PLUS!!!!

Came to the spot in front of Bevmo looking for a different Birrieria truck but find this one instead and OH MY GOOD GOD was it delicious! They don't have any other meats, but tbh that didn't matter cause it was some of the best food I've eaten

Very good birria. The wait depends on the time and day. Cash only. Salsa is very spicy but good. I suggest you get some to go

This truck is a staple on sepulveda in front of the Bev Mo. this was my second time getting food here but i won't be back. I stop by at 6pm to pickup some taco dorados (crispy) and the tortillas used were clearly pre-crisped and reused in my food instead of being made fresh. The tortillas/ shells were burnt and hard. I almost chopped my tooth biting into one. Wasted $12 on these tacos as they're inedible and going straight into the trash.

Yelp
What good can I say from this place not only are they overpriced for the quality (can beans, can rice quality). They are very rude (les pesan los ), is it really that hard to give me complementary salsa and tortillas with my 14 dollar plate of not tijuana quality birria.

Michael N.

3 queso tacos took over 20 minutes. The cook literally left to sit in his van for 10 minutes lol. What a joke, never coming back.
