-Birria is the speciality here, both goat and beef.
-Owner is not from Guadalajara but Michoacán. I really don’t know the difference between the 2 areas when it comes to birria.
-Tacos are $2.50.
-Tortillas are handmade.
-Tacos can be enjoyed 2 ways:
Quesatacos. These are with cheese melted on the tortilla.
Dorados. Slightly crispy.
-Consommé is free but with meats it is extra. Be sure to squirt some limes in.
-Salsa. All handmade with 6 different ones. 4 of them pair well with the Birria
Free Consommé. Warm tomato/Birria broth. Really good with some limes. I like alternating between this and the tacos. Could even drop a small spoonful of the Consommé on the tacos.
Got 4 quesatacos, 2 goat and 2 beef. Each taco has one of the 4 salsas. Wonderful. Juicy meat, the gooey cheese, the lime, the salsa, handmade tortilla, all come together beautifully, then chase it with some Consommé.
Great report! These look awesome, thanks for sharing. I’ll have to check this out sometime soon; love seeing that giant jug of salsa de aceite, one of my favorite styles.
Have you been to any of the South LA birria de res specialists (birrieria gonzalez, teddy’s red tacos, etc)? And if so, how do you think these compare?
I have not tried any of the South LA Birria specialists. I am sure they are solid because outside of Boyle Heights/East LA, South LA is where it’s at for Mexican street food, so many nameless food carts and stands.
Can’t wait for you to try this place!
Yes salsa aceite is so good and very rare to find at street trucks/stands and even restaurants. Curious what do you like with aceite besides Birria?
There’s a truck up in Sylmar called Mi Ranchito that makes a phenomenal salsa de aceite, which is where I first encountered it. Otherwise I’d say it’s a slightly above average truck, good handmade tortillas and nice asada.
The Chori-Man also has salsa de aceite to add to breakfast burritos, which is a great combo. At home I tend to throw it on pretty much everything, though I particularly like it with potatoes.
