"Tacos Y Birria La Unica is all about options. With both beef and goat versions on the menu, you can order their spicy, chile-braised birria as a taco, quesataco, mulita, or even in a cup of ramen while visiting this Boyle Heights destination (with a second location in Mid-City). We stick to the holy trinity, though: a goat taco, a beef taco, and a goat quesataco. When it comes to their quesataco, La Unica gently griddles housemade corn tortillas to a pleasant crunch before stuffing them with juicy meat and lots of molten white cheese. Pour on their habañero salsa for an extra dose of heat." - sylvio martins
"Taquero Yasmany Mendoza’s popular food truck is one of the big winners in Los Angeles’s birria wars, always commanding a long line of taco devotees that show up for goat and beef birria. Mendoza serves the most requested Tijuana-style taco dishes Angelenos crave: tacos, dorados (crispy tortilla), mulitas (taco sandwiched in between two tortillas), quesatacos (tacos with melted-fried cheese), vampiros (taco on a toasted corn tortilla), and quesadillas dripping with birria juices. With birria trucks on practically every corner of LA, it’s the rich, herbal stew with streaks of animal fat at Tacos Y Birria La Unica’s birria that keeps crowds coming back for more." - Bill Esparza
"Tacos Y Birria La Unica is the food truck we head to for all things birria. With both beef and goat versions on the menu, you can enjoy the spicy, chile-braised meat in a taco, quesataco, mulita, or even in a cup of ramen when visiting this Boyle Heights destination (with a second location in Mid-City as well). The goat is particularly delicious, and the cash-only truck’s rich consommé does an excellent job of enhancing the meat’s natural gaminess. But, in order to try a little of everything, we usually go for the holy trinity: a goat birria taco, a beef birria taco, and a goat birria quesataco. When it comes to their quesataco, La Unica gently fries housemade corn tortillas to a nice crunch before stuffing them with juicy birria and lots of molten white cheese that oozes and stretches with each bite. Pour on a bit of their habañero salsa for an extra dose of heat." - sylvio martins, garrett snyder, brant cox
"Offers delicious quesabirria tacos from a favorite food truck." - Michael He
"The good news: You got accepted into the master’s program at Brigham Young University. The bad news: Now you have to move to Utah (no shade) where the official state snack is legitimately Jell-O (shade). So make this last meal count, and head to Boyle Heights to eat as much excellent goat birria as you can - while you still can." - kat hong
