    Birria Quesadilla
    Allison M.

    Okay service was excellent. They are super busy and the food comes out hot and fast. Workers are very friendly. Casual and bright dining area. I have had high hopes for AJs for years. I never tried them at the food truck but was excited to hear about the brick and mortar location. I was driving by and decided to stop. The bad of this is : while the meat is tender and the consume is not too oily - it all lacks spice. I kept eating unsure if it was a build up of spice but that's not the case. So while tasty, I do think there are better places in Columbus for birria.

    Amazing food!!

    Birria Ramen
    Wing Yan K.

    Accomplished two things at one visit back at Third Way Coffee House. And can't leave without getting AJ's Taco since they relocate right by Third Way Coffee House. As we sip away, ordered some Shrimp Taco and Birria Ramen from AJ's Taco. Flavor is always on point for the Shrimp Taco. If you having the Birria Ramen on the spot, make sure to give it a good mix from the bottom. Cause all the tender braised beef is hidden below. I may need to bring a pair of chopstick with me next time First time having both coffee and tacos on the same setting, and I actually enjoy this pair. Next time if you around the area, give this a try.

    Such good food for a food truck. Flavors were really good and the consume was really flavorful too. Would highly recommend. Loved that they had halal meat as well.

    Mild or hot? Both good!

    Nothing beats Yelp's trending app in finding what people are into at the moment. That just happens to be Birria!! Birria is known as a Mexican dish from Jalisco. Typically goat or sheep meat, the stew is for special occasions. In this instance, I was hungry! Celebrate that! Just kidding! Birria is stewed meat chicken or beef in their case; tacos, nachos, and more with the meat consommé. Super Dipping Commence! This place is far down Broad street I thought I was leaving the state! But its a lil food truck nestled on a parking lot where you can park and wait. I ordered beef tacos with consommé and a coke. I walked 4 miles after Pokémon Go, I needed a power up. Food was hot and fast! Tasted real good; you can taste the elements of the bite. Hot and mild sauce with limes to add. I was good! And I didn't feel super stuffed! Crazy! 5 stars!

    Just go! That's all I have to say! Tried the burriA taco and the quesabirria taco. So much flavor! Really deep and delicious. This meat is so flipping tender. And the consomme...dip your tacos but then drink the rest because you shouldn't waste one drop of this nectar. I cannot wait to go back!

    Ramen Street Corn Birria Tacos Street Style Listen, we haven't tried everything @ajsbirriatacos yet but I seriously don't think you could go wrong ordering anything from this menu! We LOVED everything we ordered !! But .... their Birria Ramen NOW that was a slam dunk of delicious, rich yet light beefiness topped with fresh cilantro and onion goodness ! Not a drop of broth left behind !!! If they were open in the morning I'd have it for breakfast, j/s !!! #supportsmallbusiness #supportlocal #foodtruck #birriatacos #birriaramen #614eats #columbusfoodie #ajsbirriatacos #columbusfoodtrucks #westside #columbusfoodscene #614

    This was after we ate a few already! Look at that broth! Birria tacos and birria sliders.

    First time trying this place after seeing many people raving on IG. Drove from the far eastside of town fot it. Went around 3:30pm on a Thursday. Only a few people there but it was clear after we ordered and while waiting for our food, how much people were flocking to the place. By the time we left, lot was packed. Got our food about 10 mins later. Let me tell you, this was everything! Food was fresh, broth was warm and delicious. Order the regular taco birria and sliders birria... dont sleep on the sliders. Husband loved them. Prices were great too. If you have not tried this place, definitely go out there and try! Its so good! Will be returning!

    This is an update to my previous review and I think its a solid 5 stars. The cool thing about this truck is the menu. Not only do they serve birria every day, they offer multiple different items. Each one its own unique take on birria. They also offer chicken and beef which is great, it gives an option for everyone. I would like to personally nominate then to come up with a vegan version. I have had a lot of people ask me about it. I think it's possible, I just haven't seen it on a menu yet. Ok enough of all that, let's talk birria. Some of yall know I'm the self proclaimed expert in Columbus so here's what I think. AJs is outstanding. Surprisingly enough the tacos/quesabirria are not my favorite. I've had a lot of them, tons , but these are not my #1. They are good, but I'm loving their birria cousins/other menu items even more. The birria Esquite is the freaking bomb! Talk about flavor explosion in my mouth...yes please. And I don't even like mayo. But this dish is top notch. Best way I can describe it is Elote in a cup. But add in some flavorful birria and Consomè. Trust me, do not leave this food truck without a cup o corn in hand!!!! Then the nachos....oh my....how is it possible for food to taste this good. Seriously. They are so good!!! If you haven't had birria at all yet, this is a good place to start. But once you go you'll find yourself coming back frequently because they have a lot of great birria items to try. You really can't go wrong.

    AMAZING LOVELY SPECTACULAR!! Highly recommend!! Staff was so sweet and the prices were great especially for how phenomenal the food is!

    Quesa birria with consome(sold separately)
    Melissa U.

    Delicious birria tacos are pretty bomb in Columbus. Just the perfect size, not too huge if youre craving to snack on this. Tried the quesa birria tacos with consome that you dip the tacos in, just delicious!!Consome was perfect and not salty at all which i can even sip on its own! I think the next thing ill try is the birria ramen

    Street tacos.

    After a four-hour delay on a connecting flight, I arrived late and just wanted something easy…read morenearby for dinner. I'm glad I stopped here--despite being a "chain," it exceeded expectations. Service was impressively quick. I started with the "Hot & Juicy" cocktail--excellent--and ended up ordering a second after dinner. The salsa roja had a nice kick and came with plenty of chips (easily enough for two). I made the rookie mistake of ordering two tacos--they're huge. One would have been plenty. The "Swipe Right" was the standout; the "Gangsta" was good, though the beef could've been cut into smaller, more manageable pieces. Overall, a very solid meal. Total with tip: about $70.

    This place gets busy, so expect a wait anywhere from 20-45 minutes. My recommendation is to reserve…read morea table or give them your phone number When you check in and they will text you when your table is ready. Overall the service was good! The food was creative and tasty there are many options on the menu including Kangaroo, yes kangaroo! I didn't have that but what o did have was good, you'd likley be full after tacos and you likely so not need more Than two but for kicks and fun go all in you won't regret. The restaurant is creative and fun to look at it, you'll notice something different at every glance, the nose level is medium to high. All in all I enjoyed it and would go back if for some reason I have to be in Columbus again.

    Stopped in while in the Arena District for quick bite and beverage. Ordered Chips and Salsa (Ancho…read moreSalsa) which was ok but also ordered Quesadilla for apps and it was like a mini version (two bites) that i wouldnt order again for $12. Also note they intentionally serve this as burnt cheese (oozing out the side). Beverage wise, we ordered Nadarita(s) and they were small and little weak. Felt like college bar service and quality. Our server Khoi was nice and professional, but rarely saw him (never returned for additional drink or chip orders). Will visit again but have different expectations. Thanks Nada.

This was the best Mexican food I've had since moving from Arizona last year, and the service from Andrew was incredible. My teenage son and I loved the chips and salsas, and it was very evident that everything was made fresh in house. I had a refreshing margarita. My son ordered the quesadilla and loved it. I asked Andrew for a taco recommendation, and he said to get the pork al pastor. He did not steer me wrong. Those tacos were delicious, full of flavor and texture. I wish I could give Nada more than five stars. Everything about our meal there was awesome. I was happy to recommend it to other friends during the rest of my conference.
