I'm so excited they opened a new location closer to me. There was only 1 worker but he was pretty fast and gave me an estimate of time when I ordered. I always order the family pack which comes out to be $46.75 after taxes. The family pack includes 4 tacos, 4 quesatacos, 4 mulitas and 4 consomes with all the fixings. It's enough food to feed my family of 5 and still have left overs.

There is no better place for some Birra Ramen all of their food is great specially when you get the tacos with the consommé then do not pass on grabbing churros these are the best churros I've ever tasted they're so light and crunchy and then topped off with vanilla ice cream I'm guilty of eating these churros before my food they're so good

Came here for lunch on a Tuesday and there was no line. A few other people showed up right after us. There is also a churro truck right next to this birria truck. I came specifically here specifically for the deal on Tuesdays - 4 tacos for $6. Ended up getting birria ramen as well because I saw photos online and wanted to give it a try. I was given a lot of lemons and radishes. Birria Ramen - The ramen was a little soft for me and the broth wasn't as hot as I'd prefer. You definitely get a good amount of ramen ($9). The broth was a bit salty for me but the flavor was there. They weren't stingy with the meat either. Would I get it again? Probably not. Birria tacos - I got a taco and it was pretty good. The meat is on the leaner side so I didn't get any fatty pieces. I liked how it wasn't greasy either. For someone that eats pretty spicy food, their hot sauce has a quick burn that goes away quickly. Parking is very easy since the truck is parked in a large parking lot.

Stopped at Inpac tools to get some supplies. Just by chance this food truck was parked on the st . . It's a tricky little thing to give credit to a food truck on Yelp. They deserve their recognition to. Can't check in because It's a traveling restaurant. I found them ! The theme is Birria. Which is a cook stew typical from all around Mexico TJ style. You have all your normal's burritos quesadillas tacos tortillas tostadas vampiro Quesataco And all kinds of other delicious things that I don't eat. My mom said it is delicious. I'm glad we stopped.

Stumbled upon this food truck in Paramount and had to try it. I ordered there quesadilla which was beef, onions, cilantro and cheese with a side of radish and limes. Great serving size for $8, very meaty, filling and tasted absolutely delicious. Not too long of a wait and service was quick. Highly recommend it!

This place always has a line. But worth the wait. Very authentic. Simple menu everything is birria. Might seem a little price but they are very generous with their serving sizes..price ranges $2 -$8.

Location

Who can resist the allure of feasting together, especially when the spread includes the comforting warmth of birria?

For the adventurous palate, Chris B. suggests trying their Birria Ramen, which brings an exciting twist to traditional birria—an innovative fusion that warms you from the inside out. Coupled with the famed churros—“the best churros I’ve ever tasted,” as Chris describes—this meal becomes an experience worth relishing.
