One of the best Mexican food trucks I have experienced in NYC. Their birria tacos are delish! Simple menu offering tacos, tostada, mulita, and consommé. From what I have read about the consommé its a must try so one day I'll need to go back. Plus, they are located near a park with benches to sit at and enjoy your feast. Was busy when I dropped by and had to wait in line but it moved quickly. Prices as expected for the area but worth the flavorful tacos. read more

I've had my fair share of good Mexican food in NYC, but after moving back here from California, I have to admit that they still reign supreme when it comes to Mexican cuisine. That said, Birria-Landia might be the closest I've had to Cali level quality, at least for what I've tried so far. I spotted the line while walking through Williamsburg and figured it had to be worth it. I felt like it was obligatory to try their birria tacos considering it was my first time, and they totally hit the spot. They were juicy, great flavor, and perfectly crispy around the edges. They had the typical food truck fashion, quick and straightforward. Venue-wise, it's actually nice because they've got some picnic benches nearby, so it's convenient for a quick bite when it's not too busy. The next time I'm in the neighborhood, I'm definitely coming back. read more

Every time I'm in the area I HAVE to stop by this truck. They have the best birria tacos in the area! They speak Spanish and English which is great, and they're very quick with getting your order out. They're right next to a park so there's plenty of seating around. This last time it was incredibly hot so I didn't get their consome and the tacos are just as juicy without it - do get the consome though bc it is fantastic! Their spicy sauce is also very good and adds the perfect kick to the tacos. P.S. - there's a stand right next to it called "Aguas Frescas Chismosa" that serves great juices so definitely give them a try as well! Their passion fruit was so good! read more

The food is served from a food truck but there are some benches nearby you can sit at. Be warned of the pigeons!

I came by here to get some food before I started day drinking and it was so good that I returned back later that same day after partying. The menu is pretty straightforward with about 5 food items including the consome. The tacos are super moist, fresh and even better with mozzarella cheese added. The consome is rich, super hot and would be a great meal with ramen added to it. read more

After awhile the flavor became one noted so we squeezed lime into the consome and drizzled the red sauce onto the food. read more

SO GOOD! After a long day of walking, I just wanted a quick bite and I'm so glad that I stopped by this food truck. I got 4 birria tacos and the consome. It came with 2 limes, pickled onions, and red salsa. The tacos were so flavorful and had a great taco to birria ratio. The consome was also very good. I had to wait 30ish minutes to eat because of traveling, but it was still very warm by the time I got to it! Wait time was around 10 minutes at 11 PM. Would definitely come back again! read more

I can't believe it took me so long to try Birria Landia!! The food was incredible, especially for the price. I ordered two tacos and a mulita. The beef in both was incredibly flavorful, and dipping the tacos in an order of consome made everything even more tasty. The consome had a rich beef broth flavor -- I definitely recommend ordering a small side of it to try. Good Mexican food can be hard to find in NYC, but this is definitely some of the best I've had since moving here. Be warned that they only serve beef tacos, so if you don't eat red meat this probably isn't the place to come! read more

I came from the birria landia in williamsburg on valentine's day and I'm very disappointed in the customer service I went to buy the valentine's day special the 5 tacos with consomé for $20. I was going to buy one and my brother was going to buy one for our mom. The guy up front says it's only one valentines box per 2 people and that wasn't the case for last year when I was able to buy one and so was the other person. I explained to the worker it's not for me. I would like to buy a box and he says that he can't sell it to me because then he would be losing money and he has to count how many tacos he gives out. What im hearing is very absurd especially since I've been buying from birria landia for years. We ended up buying 8 tacos and the 5 tacos that were supposed to come in a valentines box just came in an aluminum container. we asked if he could put it in the valentine's day box the guy said he we had to buy another 5 tacos so it can go into the box and we asked if the other 3 could be in the box he said no. but at the same time wouldn't let us buy another 5 tacos.I think he was just very rude and very confusing. All I wanted was to have my tacos in the valentines taco box and he couldn't fulfill my valentines by doing that. read more

I randomly stumbled upon Birria Landia on the way back to the car on a Sunday evening. I was told this was a popular place for birria and decided to get ONE to try (biggest regret) since I had plans to grab dinner with a friend later that night. After getting to the car and dinner plans got canceled, I look back in regret of not ordering more birria for dinner. It was my first time trying birria and I've always heard great things about them. Birria Landia was amazing! It's only been a day and I already want to go out of my way to get more. The tortillas were hot and crispy, the beef was tender and juicy, and all the flavors of the onions, cilantro, and lime - perfection! So sad I live so far from all their locations or else I'd be getting birria unhealthily often. With Birria Landia being my first time trying birria, all the other taco shops have a high standard to meet! read more

If I had one word to describe this place, well, let's be real here. I do not have only one word. This place sells, amazing, mouth watering, flavorful, warm, delicious, birria tacos. I went here with a couple of my friends and it was a little hard to find the truck but we knew we were in the right place when we saw a huge line. I got 3 queso tacos with the consume. It was a windy day and there's a park right across the street so my friends and I ate there. Although it was windy, we stood ground and ate there. We not only ate there, we scarfed our meals down. It was so delicious that practically all had food on our face. If that doesn't describe how good the food is, then I don't know what else will. read more

I've seen a lot of good things about this birria tacos in instagram and finally I had the chance to try. The truck is located right next to a park so you can sit at the park bench to eat. I arrived around 1:30 PM and there were not many people in line. There's a menu displayed on the truck and a QR code also. You order and pay at the lady standing by the truck. The price of the taco is for one so you can order as many as you like. You buy the consommé separately either small or large. I started with 3 tacos and small consommé. I didn't have too long for the tacos. They were sooo delicious. It's in my top three best birria tacos I've ever had. The tortilla was not big, it had some charring, beef was tender, fresh topped with some sauce. Make sure to squirt the lime on top then dip it into the flavorful consommé. Everything was authentic. The pickled onion made this tacos different from the others. If you like spicy food, it has spicy salsa to add. After eating two, I decided to get three more to take home. I calculated on my head that $3.5 x 3 is equal to$10.50. When the lady told me that it would be $11, it made me doubt my math skill. I said I thought it would be $10.50, and she said that $10.50 would be fine. I don't appreciate the automatic rounding to the nearest dollar without the customer consent. I recommend that you calculate the total before paying. read more

The hype is absolutely real on Birria Landia! Nice to see them opening a Williamsburg location after Pete Wells absolutely blew up the original Jackson Heights spot. Seems like every Mexican restaurant under the sun across the US is serving some sort of birria now, but Birria Landia was one of the OG ones here in NYC to do it. The birria tacos here are probably my favorite. Flavorful meat, and that ultra rich consomé is a match made in heaven. I could eat these things every single day! They also take credit card, which is kind of amazing for a food truck. If you have not birria tacos before, do yourself a favor and come to Birria Landia! read more

Best tacos I've had - truly something about the cook, ratio of protein to vegetable to tortilla, and the pickled onions and hot sauce make it such a sensational bite. The consume was also incredibly tasty and flavorful. It had a lot of developed flavors and had a generous amount of protein. Incredibly fast service & there are chairs around the park area so you can easily eat right there. Please make a stop here for a meal! 3 tacos and the consume was $20 :) read more

I have been wanting to come to Birria Landon for so long! I love birria and was so excited to try some of the best in New York. The staff was nice, they have a nice system down. The truck is parked near a park, and they bring trash cans, which they place next to some benches, knowing you're going to eat there. My boyfriend and I got the tacos. The birria was nice and juicy. Very flavorful especially with all the toppings and salsa. I particularly liked the crunchy taco shell. It was soaked in the consomé and had a nice amount of crunch. Overall these are very good birria tacos! I wouldn't come all the way out here from Manhattan for them, but I am glad I tried them. Good birria is hard to find, so I do recommend going here once and would come here more if I lived in the area. read more

This place is on a lot of top nyc food lists and for good reason. It's unpretentious and on some food delivery apps so it's easy to order for pickup. From there, you can just skip the line at the front and go straight to the window for pickup. Birria taco ($4.50) - meat was so tender and flavorful. There was a decent amount of meat too so it's a sizable taco. Quesadilla - this is honestly really similar to the taco but a bit bigger. Consome ($5.50) - so much meat at the bottom of this. Very savory and great to dip the taco in, but also great to just eat as a soup too with all the things in it. read more

Flavorful Mexican food from a truck. The menu consists of only four items (tacos, mulitas, tostadas and consume) but what tasty items they are. This was my first time having mulitas and they were great. Wish we had them back home! Tacos are double corn tortillas with plenty of birria along with cilantro, onions and sauce. The consume (soup) had similar ingredients. All good! Service was quick and the truck is next to a little park with benches for seating. For those staying at the Hotel Indigo it is a simple walk across the street. A great meal!p read more

From the Business

Specialties

Our Brooklyn location stays true to what made Birrialandia a NYC staple—authentic Birria de Res made with top-quality beef, slow-cooked to perfection, and served with heart. We don’t just serve tacos—we serve an experience. Every tostada, mulita, and cup of consomé is packed with deep flavor and cooked fresh, the way birria is meant to be enjoyed. What makes this spot special? Brooklyn’s energy meets our flavor. It’s a neighborhood full of culture, creativity, and community—so we bring that same spirit into everything we serve. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, you’ll feel the love in every bite.

History

Established in 2019.

Birrialandia was born in Jackson Heights, Queens—right on the streets, from a humble food truck and a big dream. Chef Jose Moreno brought a traditional Birria de Res recipe from his roots in Mexico, using premium cuts like brisket, shank, and top round, slow-cooked to perfection. No shortcuts. Just real flavor, made with love. It didn’t take long for word to spread. The line grew. Then the buzz. Soon, Birrialandia became a destination—first in Queens, then throughout New York City. Today, with multiple locations including Brooklyn, Bronx, Manhattan, and beyond, we’re still grounded in that same mission: cook with heart, serve with pride, and never compromise on flavor.

Meet the Business Owner: Jose M.

Born in Mexico and with over 20 years of experience in the food industry, Jose grew up surrounded by the rich flavors and traditions of his heritage. What began as a dream and a humble taco truck in Jackson Heights quickly turned into a NYC favorite, all thanks to his dedication, craft, and belief that food made with love speaks for itself. Jose is hands-on in every part of the business, from perfecting the consomé to ensuring each plate is consistent across all locations. His philosophy is simple: honor tradition, never cut corners, and make people happy with every bite. With the opening of our new location, Chef Jose has expanded the menu to introduce exciting new dishes—while staying true to what made Birrialandia iconic in the first place. It’s not just food—it’s his passion on a plate

This place is small so a line builds up pretty long. My first time here there was a pretty big line but moved pretty fast. You get in line for the workers to take your order then once you receive your tacos you can go in line for the topping bar to put your own veggies and sauces. Seating area is pretty small, there is about 10 seats and then a standing table area from the outside. They serve a variety of meat choices on fresh tortillas, I was planning to only eat 4 but after trying them, I had to go back in line for seconds!

Found myself craving Mexican (specifically, Birria) one Friday evening after a long work week…read more Nenes Taqueria hit the spot in every way I wanted. I went on a Friday evening around 9:30pm. It was still fairly busy inside, but it was mostly people grabbing to-go orders. After ordering I snagged a spot at the counter. There's extremely limited seating, so I wouldn't bank on eating at the restaurant when it's busy. Be prepared to take your food to go. I got the Nene's Deluxe, which comes with a taco, a mulita, and an empanada - all with Birria of course. It was all delicious. The mulita was at the bottom of the box and got completely soaked with Birria. It was extremely messy to eat. Get plenty of napkins. I also got a side of fries and nacho cheese, because it was a long week and I deserved it. They had a seasonal strawberry horchata as well. This was okay. I also think I might just not love horchata in general. This meal definitely hit the spot. The Birria and consommé were top notch. I would return in a heartbeat.

3.5 stars. I order from Nene's in Astoria all the time, so I thought to try this location closer to…read morework. I tried something different than my usual and went with the Adobada Tacos (Pork Al Pastor). The meat itself was spicy and a little rough, which leads me to believe it was maybe old meat. Instead of cubed, the pineapple was shredded which offered a nice touch. Unfortunately the actual taco got soggy by the time I ate it so I just picked out the meats and pineapple. There is plenty of avocado green sauce placed on top, which moving forward, I will request to be on the side to prevent the taco from getting soggy. Overall I probably should just stick to what I know/like so I'm willing to give this location another shot!

I came in late night on a Friday and there was a good amount of people at the restaurant. My friend and I both ordered quesadillas with al pastor and I was surprised at how fast the food came out! I think we waited barely 5min. I had the flour tortilla for my quesadilla. The quesadilla uses one tortilla so it's probably pretty small for the average person. My friend was still hungry after his, but the size was just right for me since I get full easily. I got my quesadilla with everything on it besides pineapple. The onions and veggies tasted fresh and there was a perfect amount of meat and cheese ratio. Will definitely be back.

Easily one of the best taco spots in Bushwick since they opened. Super flavorful, and always a…read morelively vibe on weekend nights despite the tiny space. Only downside is the pricing--nearly $20 for a burrito feels like a lot, especially when Taqueria Santa Fe nearby has more options for way less.

We've been testing out food options in the surrounding area, and Nacho Macho has emerged as my favorite (for convenience, speed, flavor, and affordability). Now, the space isn't much to speak of. It's narrow, with only a couple places to sit. But the dudes who work there are efficient, nice, and can put together an order of food for 6+ dudes in about 15 minutes (double-check they gave you some salsa and utensils if you need them though). I've tried a couple of the options, but the al pastor burrito, with a few things added (guac, sour cream, jalapenos, etc.) is a gutbomb of deliciousness that I am never sad about eating. You do you, but I'm getting another one in a couple days.

Ambiance was a food truck on a public sidwalk, they provide benches to eat at and the front cashier keeps the area clean. I ordered 1 steak and 1 birria taco The steak was bit bland and the tortilla not being toasted/panseared made it taste more plain The birria itself was not as bad but the tortilla needs to be toasted and it would be way better. Sauces were v spicy Probably would not come back here unless I ordered wrong and should've gotten a more popular taco.

Birria tacos and small birria soup were incredible - definitely the highlight for me. Also really liked the spicy pork enchilada. Al pastor was good but paled in comparison to the birria.

Our reservation was for 8:30pm, but we arrived early and Alejandra, the hostess, was incredibly welcoming and accommodating. Even though she was ready to seat us, we decided to hang at the bar until the rest of our party arrived and that was the perfect move. Alkarys behind the bar was top-tier. She recommended the Siempre Reposado, and let me tell you... smooth, clean, dangerously good. If you're into tequila, that's a must. Now let's talk about the food. We ordered the quesadilla, rajas, tamales, tacos, and the queso fundido and every single dish hit. The queso fundido came out bubbling, rich, perfectly melted with that pull you want when you scoop it up. The tamales were moist and packed with flavor, wrapped beautifully and clearly made with care. The rajas had that perfect balance of roasted pepper sweetness and savory depth. The tacos? Authentic, well-seasoned, and layered with flavor, no shortcuts. Even the quesadilla stood out, crispy on the outside with that perfectly melted interior. Everything felt traditional, elevated but still true to its roots. You can taste the authenticity. Service was attentive without being overbearing, the ambiance was super casual and laid back, the kind of Brooklyn spot you pull up to for a real dinner experience, not just a quick bite. Highly recommend this place if you're out and about in Brooklyn. Definitely coming back for the tequila, the queso fundido, and round two of those tacos. I'm gonna try eating at the bar to check out the spot in the front of the house.

My favorite tacos are the cecina (salty beef), suadero (tender beef), and al pastor. Sometimes the meat is a bit dry and overcooked, but generally, it's very flavorful and delicious.

Their menu is very extensive, offering tacos, tostadas, quesadillas, entrees, salads, and much more. Service: Staff are friendly and welcoming. Ambiance: The restaurant is a good size with many tables for both large and small groups. Decor is very simple and nothing fancy, but seating is comfortable. The place can get packed during peak meal times. Overall, I would recommend this taco place!
