Well you gotta stay in theme and for 5 de Mayo I have decided to visit the long overdue Birria LES. Though I didn't visit the OG place I was excited when I was they had a location in Williamsburg. Food: This place is Halal which is another reason that peaked my interest and that is why I went with the staple order of Birria Tacos and let me tell you how generous when it comes to all the meat. It was melting in my mouth with every bite and if you had a splash of hot sauce it would add that tangy touch give the taco a whole vibe. I would lower the amount of cilantro in there, cause I felt like there was little bit too much. Ambiance: The space is very big and have that decoration that will make you think you are in a lucha libre restaurant. So you dont need to worry about finding a seat. Service: While there was some waiting time I believe it was justified due to the amount of customers that were there and the bipping of online orders coming in. read more

stopped by for a quick bite. the birria with cheese and chicken al pastor were solid. i've typically eaten al pastor with pork so it was a pleasant surprise that there were spin offs with other meat options. consume was one of the more savory ones ive tried- perfect amount of onion! i have to say the inside of the restaurant isn't the most appetizing place to eat. it felt dingy and and dirty. if it were the summer i would've taken it to eat outside. read more

Birria LES - beef birria taco and chicken al pastor taco - Tacos Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Stopped by here for a quick bite after a night out in Williamsburg. I hadn't been to any of their other locations before, so I was curious to try it. I ordered the beef birria tacos with a side of consome, and that combo definitely didn't disappoint. The consome was piping hot, rich, and full of flavor with just the right kick. While the food itself was great for a late-night stop, the wait time was surprisingly long, especially since I only ordered tacos and consome, which is typically already prepared. I also ordered a frozen pina colada, expecting it to be alcoholic. To my surprise, it was non-alcoholic. That should really be made clearer on the menu, as frozen pina coladas are generally assumed to contain alcohol. Overall, despite the wait and the drink confusion, I'd definitely eat here again read more

I stopped by quickly to Birria LES before a concert. I ordered myself two Beef Al Pastor taco's. The two Beef Al Pastor taco's were exquisite, so flavorful, warm, and freshly made. I almost burnt my tongue when I took my first bite and the green sauce was nice; a nice touch of flavor and spicy. After a while, I did feel the spicy flavor. I would recommend this Mexican spot for some tasty tacos and other Mexican eats. An authentic Mexican restaurant across the street from the L train. 10/10 Mexican restaurant in Williamsburg. read more

I came here late on Sunday evening and tried the shrimp birria dumplings and the consume sliders. They were both decent (the sliders were definitely better than the dumplings but the dumplings were on the spicier side and almost burned my mouth! read more

Ideally, I wish I could give this restaurant 10 stars! I discovered this establishment initially by going to Smorgasburg Prospect Park and told myself I would definitely try out the location itself. Got here on a Wednesday evening, and I was literally the only one there, which I appreciated; it felt like a private dining experience. I had a beef, chicken, and shrimp Birria Taco with cheese along with a Frozen Pina Colada. I also ordered a surf and turf slider with a small consume. The decor and amount of space in the establishment are perfect! I literally can't wait to come back here for the delicious food and drinks. I'm going to have more tacos and sliders with corn. The staff were nice and provided great customer service. This place needs more credit and I'm happy that a Bedstuy location is coming soon. read more

The food is delicious!!! We came in for tostadas and ordered extra food! The service is quick, you get a ticket number then wait for your order. There's plenty of seats inside the restaurant. It's cozy and the decorations and artwork compliments the restaurant well. read more

This was my first and last time visiting this location. While the woman who initially took my order was polite, the experience quickly went downhill. What was labeled as "nachos" was nothing more than dry tortilla chips with a blob of birria dumped on top -- no cheese whatsoever. That's not nachos by any definition. When I politely addressed the issue, I was met with attitude from both the cook and the cashier, as if I were somehow in the wrong. I understand places get busy, but rushing orders and serving careless, low-effort food -- then responding with attitude when it's brought up -- is unacceptable. After tipping generously, this experience was frustrating from start to finish. I won't be returning and do not recommend this location. read more

We stumbled upon Birria LES and I'm very glad we did! The tacos and mulitas here were just what I needed- a quick, flavorful and delicious bite. We ordered a couple of tacos and loved them so much that we ordered a few more. The beef and chicken birria are both quite good. I preferred the chicken slightly more. I'd recommend the mulitas if you like cheese- it came with a little cotija cheese and crema on top and melted cheese inside. While I will warn that it may be a tad messy with the sauce spilling out from the taco, it's well worth it! This delicious snack warmed me up on a cold evening. read more

This is a great spot when you have late night munchies after some drinking. Their birria tacos with cheese are amazing. The only thing that was kind of nasty was that one of their restrooms were closed and the other had a clogged toilet so I had to hold it in. I'm not sure how the employees do it... read more

Food was good, i like the Saint marks spot better but this is way better space to eat with friends. They do have rest rooms and are faster with making the food. Have returned multiple times read more

Food is always an 11/10. Absolutely love everything they have on their menu! Service is fast they don't make you wait long for your food. Ambiance is cozy but nothing extraordinary. read more

Birria LES - Esquites and chicken birria Chicken Taco - Tacos Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Birria tacos during the winter are an amazing idea. You have to get the consome to dip your tacos / food into. My friends and i literally finished all the consome bc it was great. The beef itself is super tender and melts in your mouth. The tacos were pretty filled with meat and i enjoyed the 1 mulita I got as well to switch it up. Service was fast and nice, and the ambiance is fun with latin music and plenty of seating. Plus, it is halal too. Ill be back and i recommend it! read more

Well I do have to say the food here is extremely Americanized and not even close to what Tijuana style birria is yet it's very tasty and I loved that the portions were normal size not too big not too small. I ordered two birria tostadas which were quite good and some water. Definitely willing to come back and try more things. Price wise it was affordable and service wise pretty quick and nonchalant. read more

Birria LES - Beef Tostadas - Tacos Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Delicious! The service and food were outstanding. Great place to stop for a quick bite.

Birria's popularity is like an indie band that had an EP and played Bowery Ballroom in 2019 but now sells out Barclays. While the existence of birria sliders and dumplings sounds more Rivington than Mexico, the tacos seemed legit. The consomme works as a standalone soup and the red hot sauce is riveting. read more

It's great they are open late for those late nights. I do enjoy their tacos and I wanted to enjoy the dumplings but sadly they are frozen. I was taken aback when I ordered them and the cook pulled them out of a bag in a freezer. If I wanted frozen dumplings I'd go to the supermarket read more

A very solid birria taco. The chicken birria is also quite good. Both were well seasoned and packed with fresh onions and cilantro. Not as dry as I've found at other places. Service was quick and cordial and the prices are fair. read more

First and foremost customer service terrible girl in the front needs to change that attitude and stop hiding from behind that fake ass smile, food portions deceiving to expensive for the portion size food was mediocre at most, white washed Mexican meals the berria was to water down 2 dollars and 50 cent for a water bottle was insane to me to be honest. Had to bag my own food lady was to lazy to help with my service, read more

HALAL!!! My favorite birria tacos in the city. So delicious, always juicy and fresh. Service is quick and order is usually always ready quickly. Love the restaurant itself, you can choose to stand and eat or sit down. This location is much bigger and has more room, but they play good music and have very good food. Enjoy the vibes a lot! read more

Birria LES - two tacos in a styrofoam container - Tacos Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Wow. I usually just don't bother reviewing places that I don't like, but this was so disappointing that I feel obligated to review. We ordered a few different things: esquites, birria taco, loaded birria nachos, and tres leches cake. The birria taco was the only one I don't really have complaints about. Was it great? No, but it was passable. However, the other three items were totally disappointing. The tres leches was most egregious. The moment I opened the container, I was hit with the awful smell of spoiled milk. The top of the cake had hardened and developed mold spots. Just beyond disgusting. Tres leches is not a cake that you can just make and leave in the refrigerator for days and days (maybe weeks? I'm not sure how long this would take to harden and mold and begin stinking, because frankly I've never encountered this). And if you're selling it in a restaurant, it should be prepared fresh and sold on the same day - otherwise stop offering it, especially when you're charging customers $8 for a (small) slice. $8 for a stinking, moldy piece of cake. The other items were below expectations, but not rotten, so I won't bother detailing those. Just know they weren't worth it. Maybe their Manhattan locations are better, but I won't be trying them to find out. read more

The food was so greasy it was really horrible I don't suggest this place to anyone and the Pinacolada was just ice no juice

I don't have much to say since I came in for one measly veggie taco with no cheese, but it hit the spot when I was hungry wandering Williamsburg. The taco was almost like a salad with tons of veggies piled on and no rice and beans. Good tortilla, too. Pretty good and healthy tasting overall, but it was definitely overpriced for having no variety on it. I'd come again if I was just as desperate in the same neighborhood. read more

Amazing birria! I appreciated the non-beef birria options like shrimp and chicken. First time having it and it was amazing. The hot Cheeto esquite was yum too read more

staff is super friendly, the place itself feels dirty, the tables feel sticky and have crumbs on the tables, the bathroom is dirty, the food is really salty, we had the birria tacos and the garlic beef cheese sandwich. However, new loaded esquite, regular fries, and the piña colada read more

I love this place. It has the best birria tacos around, and the birria nachos are my FAVORITE treat. They're literally addictive and so flavorful. They are so generous with the portions so you definitely get the most bang for your buck compared to other places. They are also open late so a perfect go to for my post-work cravings. The only other place I've had birria this good has been Nene's Deli in Bushwick. Glad Birria LES is doing well and opened up a location on Bedford :) read more

The birria taco and corn esquites were delicious but for whatever reason they tore up my stomach for a good 12 hours afterward. Not sure if I'll have the courage to come again unless I'm cruisin for a bruisin. read more
