Tacos y Birria La Unica - Mid City

Best birria in the city!! Quesatacas are a must!! Beef is so juicy and succulent. Can get a side of consume to dip tacos in too. Yasmany is the man. Super friendly staff. Definitely stop by here next time you’re mid city.

Saw this place on an infatuation best taco list and tried it. Got the queso tacos. Wow, amazing. Only a few seats but we loved it.

The birria tacos are rich, cheesy, and loaded with meat, definitely the highlight. The consomé was well-seasoned and perfect for dipping. Service was quick and friendly, and portions were generous for the price. Only knock was the atmosphere. There are tables available, but it’s still a food truck setup, so don’t expect much comfort. Nearest restroom is 5 minutes away. That said, the food speaks for itself. Worth a stop if you’re craving quesatacos or birria and want it done right.

Came for some emergency tacos at this food truck on Venice Boulevard 1 mile east of la Cienega on a Thursday afternoon at 3 PM…..OMG these tacos ROCK!!!….. I had the four Birria tacos with a cup of broth and a Mexican soda or $16 and it was absolutely perfect and delicious and in expensive… and it was service with a smile so thank you and keep up the good work and I will definitely be back because these are some seriously delicious tacos at a great price…GRACIAS :)

This was the BEST food truck I have ever eaten at. The customer service was great; they were able to give recommendations that my husband and I absolutely loved. We had beef birria tacos, consomé for dipping, and birria ramen, all with loads of toppings and sauces, and everything was DELICIOUS! I was only traveling to Cali for two days, so we ate there both days because it was that good! This was a food truck, and they still provided tables and seats to sit and eat your meal, which was a major plus. Lastly, everything is fresh and made to order! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Simply amazing! Authentic and delicious Birria tacos with different meat options, beef, goat, beef tongue and head… very original and affordable, add to it a Mexican coke or lemonade and you’re in another country. Bref we loved it and we will definitely be back!!

Great birria tacos, great service. On par with the likes of New York. You have to get there consume, no buts, completes the entire meal.

It was one of the best dishes I've eaten :)) The man at the counter was very kind and helped me choose 😉 The amount of food and meat in it was extremely large. This place was recommended to us by people we met 100 kilometers from here :) Portions are large, the order cost $15.

This is my go-to birria spot! It's always hot, fresh, and delicious. The consomé is so flavorful! We typically get the quesadillas, quesatacos, or the vampiro. Whether you get the goat or the beef, you can't go wrong. The one thing to note is they don't accept card, but you can Zelle them if you don't carry cash. But I can't say enough good things about this place. Check them out!

This place is delicious! If I could I would be here everyday. The prince is reasonable and the workers extremely friendly. The birria is delicious!! It taste amazing

These are my absolute fave birria tacos in LA. That's all I have to say! The service is always great and the food comes out quick and is delicious and consistent.

The toastadas were a little stale but otherwise everything was really good. We went at an off time and were able to sit at one of the two tables that were out. Also because I think we went near closing time they were out of some of the meats I would have wanted to order. I definitely recommend giving a try

Worst tacos ever! I ordered one chicken and two beef quesotacos, the cheese was dried up and the meat tasted old. The entire taco was stale. I'm nervous for my stomach, don't eat here.

This place has hands down the best birria tacos. Friendly and nice too. It's the kind of tasty that makes you make noises when you take that first bite!

So good!! Excellent service too, it might take a little bit longer than some other taco trucks, but that's because everything is made super fresh. We got an assortment of Quesatacos, I don't think you can really go wrong with what meat you end up choosing. We also got the Birria Ramen, and this was unexpectedly the highlight of my meal there. Somehow it just all comes together to taste so good, the consome is so flavorful and the birria is so tender and juicy. I also loved that you could add more chili oil to make it spicy, so flavorful! Definitely recommend getting both, so you can dip the tacos into the ramen.

It's good, it's real good. Unica has been in the birria game before everybody and their moms decided to jump on the craze. Their tender and flavorful birria comes in beef and goat and both are worth your time. Now that they've posted up cla.swcond truck closer to the Westside, it's become my go to birria, taco, and consome spot. The star of the show are the queso tacos with birria, do a side by side taste test with goat & beef. Crispy, crunchy, homemade tortillas with the juicy birria countered with cilantro and onions. A cup of consume on the side to dip and you're on the pro level. Even though they are known specifically for birria, don't forget to order an asada vampiro that's full of meat and avocado, topped with the smokey, spicy maca salsa (gotta ask for it) and you've got a yourself a texture and flavor bomb. Lastly, the consume that you got for your taco dips has deep flavor and chock-full of meat chunks. A squeeze of lime cuts the richness and you've yourself a cup of healing. They do offer birria ramen but I like to get a large cup to go to add my own noodles and accoutrements.

My husband and I are on a taco tour for a four day trip in LA. This was our second stop. It was hard to find a taco truck open for lunch but La Única was open. They only accept cash or Zelle so make sure you have that. They had a platter with rice and beans that were phenomenal. My husband got the asada tacos. Great size meat. Solid tortilla sometimes they are flimsy. I got the birria tacos with beef. They were phenomenal flavor with the consomé. They had options to separate onion and cilantro when most places are together. They did not have jalapeños. The salsas were mid in our opinion. We really like our salsa. It was fairly priced at $2.75 asada taco. $15 for 3 birria tacos, consomé, beans, and rice. They had tables for us to sit at. Took about 10 minutes to get our food. We will for sure be back.

Best tacos I have ever had in my life. Delicious salsa. Great rice. The consume... to die for. I almost want to get ramen next time... but I won't bc I could never betray the quesatacos. I can't even look at another taco truck and I don't even want to eat another taco unless it's theirs. Definitely going to go back. Also, this rude eurocentric male was yelling profanities at them saying they don't deserve anything, and the truck workers made sure customers were safe all while making sure employees were safe. PLEASE SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS. I WANT THIS PLACE TO BE FOREVER. P.S. Sorry I don't have pics. I ate it way too fast bc it was so good.

The birria was really good rice and beans and handmade tortillas so good!! I got the birria plate I would say it needs more lemon in the plates but it was perfect. Service was fast and great! And cute little set up outside tables and chairs

Excellent tacos Excellent service and clean area We had a mountain of food with tacos of goat, beef, and brains Pro tip order the hard tacos and if you order 4 you get free consume !! Also get a nice cold Coke to wash it down Take cash ONLY Delicious Great quality Only take cash Enjoy the consume !!

Jumped on Yelp, saw the star rating and reviews, and jumped in the car. The woman taking our order was the sweetest and so patient as we asked her a few questions regarding some items. The wait is not terribly long, but expect a few minutes to get some fresh tacos! We had the quesotacos, suave and dorados. They were all amazing, like fr. We ended up ordering more of the quesotacos. The fresh onions and cilantro are what real tacos are made of! We washed it down with the best horchata. I get this elsewhere and it's fresh.... This bottled version blows that homemade one out of the water. Yup! I'll be returning

Omg this place is AMAZING! Loved it. This place is exactly why yelp is useful! First, not from the area so we gambled on a place that had all five star reviews. DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! This is probably the perfect cross between true Mexico Mexican food and American style burritos. Also, a lot of places use tons of oil and reuse their meat: THIS PLACE WAS ALL FRESH! Highly recommend the queso tacos. Amazing. Burrito: hell of a meal for $9. (Cash only so be prepared for that.)

Great service delicious food what more could you ask for :). Was looking for food before getting hungry and found this birrialicious jewel

Been to this truck several times. Amazing birria tacos and ramen. Absolutely full of flavor and not spicy by itself for the fearful ones (like my spouse). Once you have had their Birria dipped and filled cheesy quesataco, you'll never go back to the mundane corporate Americanized taco. Service with a smile and never a long wait. Easy parking. Go there and support a good guy who serves incredible food with heart.

Tacos y Birria La Unica finally opened a 2nd location closer to me! This is so exciting but also dangerous for me because I'll definitely be coming so much more! This location opened end of Nov/beginning of Dec so there's still not a lot of traction at this location compared to Boyle Heights. I came Sunday afternoon for lunch and there was no line! My food was ready in about 10 minutes and still super crispy and delicious when I got home. The truck is cash only and they take venmo too! I did not have any difficulty finding parking. My go to order is the asada quesataco with a side order of the consume!

The Quesotacos and Vampiro tacos were excellent. The consommé bumped it up another notch to "best we have had"!!

My friend came in from NY and she has a list of must eat places and this was one of them! I was super excited to get to try the birria ramen because I have heard about it for so long. Then when my friend got the tacos I realized I also needed them To dip in to the ramen. She ate 4 of them because they were so good!! She said it was the best birria she has ever had and she had eaten in a few states across the US. The guys that work the truck are super nice and this is the OG of birria in Los Angeles they were first in 2017. So if you're looking for the gold standard they are it! The guy also gave us a pamphlet for best tacos in LA, called the Taco Trek, you can see it online. Love that they support other businesses as well! Will def be back for repeats and new trys!

In a word: phenomenal. Scrumptious to the max! Friendly service, along with a truck-kitchen that puts out incredible Mexican street food. They also had two big tables for dining if needed. Definitely give this truck a try!

The goat Birria was delicious! And can't do Birria without having the consommé...large chunks of meat in it. Highly recommend you give it a try Our first time and the manager could tell we were green...so he let us sample the beef and the goat. Hands down...the goat wins! Flavorful but not overpowering...and cooked just right

So glad Tacos y Birria La Unica is closer to the West Side as it's way less crowded than their Boyle Heights location and the great thing is the food is exactly the same. Delicious. I usually get the beef birria as I like it better than the goat, but that's just personal preference. Queso tacos or regular are also the way to go. I recommend eating them there, but you'll still be happy eating them at home. Definitely a must try if you're in the area!

Wow this taco / birria truck is amazing! There's not a lot of really great taco spots around this area with the exception of Leo's. I think I might like this spot more than Leo's because I thought the quality of the meats was better! Leo's specializes in Al Pastor tacos while this spot has quesa tacos (tacos with melted cheese inside the hard shell taco) as well as Birria. This spot does not have al pastor as an option. I tried their REGULAR TACOS ( carne Asada & cabeza) and their quesa tacos and everything was fantastic. I can't believe Ive never been here before as this place is really close to me but I'm excited and will be back probably every other day

Excellent birria!!! I'll be coming back. Easy access, not a long wait and reasonably priced.

the quesobirria tacos were soooo good with the broth from the ramen. The ramen itself wasn't great, but the tacos were amazing!! Also btw it's a food truck which I didn't know and it's not in the best place just because there's homeless tents set up right next to it..but that has nothing to do with the food, just the placement of the truck I guess. Great food though!!

Omg so goood! Everything in the menu is absolutely delicious. It's always a go to when I don't want to cook. Never disappoints

My favorite birria spot. And I don't like anywhere other than my mom's but this is sooo equivalent. La salsa is fire for a cruda 10/10

Soooo so good. Can't go wrong with any of the birria tacos. Staff is super chill and friendly. There's a couple fold out tables. Free residential street parking nearby.

3.5 stars. The birria tacos here are solid, not the best I've ever had but solid. It's a food truck on the side on no where so their tables can get pretty dirty. Would stop by again if I was in the immediate neighborhood but otherwise there are too many other birria taco places to try.

Great Birria Ramen. Loved that I could order it online and it was ready for me by the time I showed up. It was easy to find parking, and I loved having the option to sit there too. Did I mention that the Birria Ramen was great. Totally will go back

Been wanting to try this place forever but never made it out to the original location, so happy they're finally closer in mid-city!! Tacos Dorado with Birria de Res and Consommé on the side is . The salsa Arbol had just the right amount of smokiness and heat. Sine of the best tacos I've had in LA

Clean, quick service. The tacos were excellent. Lots of Options made it hard for me to decide. Finally put in my order and everything was delicious. Left me wanting more.

Drove from Long Beach, Ordered the tacos dorados and a small consome and I tell you. It's worth it!! The tortillas are fresh, homemade! Customer service was good! Clean and not too packed. Recommend this place

Food truck worth hunting down. The staff cares about the food they serve. You can taste the love in the food. Get the ramen, put the spice in it and squeeze a lime. You can dip any number of tacos in the broth and find a happy place.

Fuck the hype that all I got beef and goat and the both meats dry asf my taco wasn't even wet and the cheese wasn't even a lot drove to la to try this your better off at Disneyland California eating some wet wet I'm not posting the taco they are not worthy putting up

The quesatacos are 10/10- if you get the ramen birria make sure to add lots of condiments (lime, salsa, etc)

The best birria everything on wheels has landed in MidCity from Boyle Heights. Nothing better than Birria on wheels. The crew is fantastic, everything is made to order and quite frankly, I can wait. The aromas around the truck are quite enjoyable. Fantastic meals on wheels. Get some!

Great birria tacos and consomme. Friendly service. Food takes a little bit when they are busy but it is worth the wait!

Very good taco truck. This is their second location - originating in Boyle Heights - so I knew it was going to be good. I was not disappointed at all. The quesatacos were out of this world. Definitely make sure you get the consome, pour it in your tacos, and try the goat!

Soooo good. I appreciate the generosity with the meat. They actually fill you up. New weekly lunch spot.

Love the tacos love the beef ramen, Great truck get great taste of the Birria please take the time stop by this truck

Si estás buscando un delicioso birria o incluso un poco de birria ramen, has encontrado el lugar. Fui aquí mientras estaba de vacaciones en Los Ángeles y definitivamente planeo volver de camino a casa. Los tacos eran increíbles y el menú tiene muchas opciones de birria junto con pollo y quesadillas si eres vegetariano. En general, este lugar es un 10/10 y una parada de tacos!

Best street tacos out there. The beef tongue was delicious and melts in your mouth. They are fast to fill your order. Their beef is far and above better than the other trucks. Make sure you find this one

La Unica is known to have Some of the more consistent bomb birria de chivo in LA. I've always frequented the Boyle location but to find out this is in mid city made me so happy. That consumme mf slaaaaaaps. Glad I don't gotta drive all the way to the east side to get this fire.

Delicious Tacos!!! Tried most of the menu items and they are full of flavor! Wish they were open for tacos Tuesday. Hope soon. Must try!!

Love me some birria! These guys do it well. It's Michoacan-style and it's darn good. They had beef and goat birria and they were both tasty, cooked perfectly. Some goat I've had hasn't been rendered well, but this was perfect. We also had the carne asada which was excellent. They have the "sauve" style which has cheese. It was just the right amount. When we go back next time we're going to try the Birria Ramen. Sounds delicious. The guys in the truck were friendly and helpful. This is definitely a "don't miss" when you're on Venice Blvd.

These are the best birria tacos in Los Angeles in my opinion. Get 2 goat tacos and consume for a fantastic meal about $10-$12 The original truck in Boyle Heights is still the g.o.a.t. but the mid city truck is new and very similar. Also a lot closer for me. Staff is nice. Truck is parked on the North side of Venice. There is some shade under the trees and only 1 homeless encampment nearby.

This was my first time trying birria tacos, they were exceptional! The consume was so incredibly fragrant & wholesome - I could drink a gallon of it. Overall, absolutely delicious!

BOMB ASSS TACOS! Had the quesa tacos and got a complimentary taco suave de birria and it was all delicious! Great prices and they have salsa habanero that's how you know its bommmmb Want some bomb assss tacos stop by here !!
