    AJ's Combo
    Christina D.

    I randomly came across this food truck (on a Tuesday, it was fate) and the birria tacos instantly made my day better. Service was super friendly, I got my order quickly, and the food was full of all the right flavors. I think they just opened a permanent location, or so Facebook keeps telling me, so I'm excited to go back and see what that's like! The truck location at Third Way is nice though, and includes plenty of seating and great mural artwork on the building.

    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!!

    Food was amazing excellent service great atmosphere I would recommend you try if you haven't been in will be making this one of my top restaurants to visit

    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!

    Street tacos.

    Was craving tacos and was so excited to check out this place that served halal tacos. I got 3 street tacos, 2 beef and 1 chicken. I prefer the beef - it was delicious. The consome tasted a lot like marak but I didn't mind it! Their entire birria menu is halal so have to go back and try it.

    Karen M.

    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.
    Deborah D.

    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.

At $28 per person, it's an incredible value and lets everyone try a little bit of everything. The feast starts with all of the dips and salsas, including salsa amarilla, salsa roja, salsa verde, guacamole, and queso, served with chips. We also shared the rice and beans, which came with flavorful verde rice, crema, cilantro, frijoles charros, and queso fresco. The chicken empanadas were fantastic, filled with guajillo adobo braised chicken and Alejandro cheese, then topped with a delicious cilantro buttermilk sauce. My favorite taco was the Baja Shrimp, made with crispy shrimp, chipotle lime crema, guacamole, red cabbage, pickled Fresno peppers, and chives. The biggest surprise of the meal was The Dolly salad. If I hadn't ordered the Fiesta, I probably never would have tried it, and it ended up being my favorite dish of the entire meal. The combination of romaine, kale, croutons, radish, cotija cheese, Tajín, and chipotle Caesar dressing was so good that I'd honestly come back just for the salad. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. I can't wait to come back and order it all again!
