    My friend and I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon. The restaurant was small but clean. There were only a few places to sit. My friend got the birria taco with a side of the consome. I didn't have any taco but my friend noted that it was good. I did have some of the consome and flavor was great and a nice, hefty portion! Everything was a bit pricy though. All in all, a nice quick stop for some birria.

    Beef Birria and Chicken Taco

    Food/drinks: love this taco chain in NY! It's my favorite chain and the only one that I've been back to multiple times. Beef Birria and el pastor are so good!! Wouldn't get chicken Birria Atmosphere: a lot more seating than the LES location! Service: quick and friendly Price: as expected in NY

    These tacos were so so so good! I was shocked to see the consume was for sale separately but they let me know I wouldn't even need it. The tacos were juicy and flavorful with just the right amount of onions. The tortillas were perfectly toasted, wow. I wish I got some to go! The chicken empanada was great but a little too greasy. Inside is small but there are a lot of seating options for the size. Staff is friendly!

    Located in the village. Saw a post about the grilled cheese Birria sandwich online and had to try it. It's an intimate space with one long table in the middle with other tables along the wall with bar stools. When I arrived there were several delicious options to choose from. I was told the most popular item is the Texas toast Birria. Of course, that was my confirmation to order it. The Birria options are chicken, beef or shrimp. The sandwich was AMAZING! The beef birria was perfectly seasoned along with the cheese and the Texas toast was packed with garlic and butter. Honestly, it was a 10/10. I added the cilantro and onions for authenticity. The food took about 10mins to make and it was pipping hot. The sandwich had a slight kick of spice but not too much. Overall, I loved my visit. The food was perfection and flavorful. Highly recommend a visit. Can't wait to visit to try something new.

    Tried this spot for the first time and ordered the beef and chicken tacos. Each one arrived juicy, deeply seasoned, and layered with flavor. I almost asked for consome, but the tacos honestly didn't need it. The meat carried its own richness and moisture in every bite. It's always a good sign when a taco stands confidently on its own like that. Definitely a place worth returning to. Next on my list: the burritos and quesadillas.

    Oh my! Had the most delicious chicken tacos at Birria LES restaurant. It's a small place serving excellent quality of food for an affordable price. Felt as though I was in Mexico City having tacos and a great time jamming to Spanish music. I'm looking forward to visit here again and enjoy delicious and authentic tacos, and services by the delightful staff. Oh yeah, I do appreciate the Mexican artwork and decoration hanging up in the restaurant .

    birria tacos with consomme
    Pitcha S.

    I had this back in 2023 and during that time, birria tacos were trending on social media. I had to go check out what the hype was all about and let me tell you, I was not disappointed. I got the birria tacos with cheese and a side of consomme and this was so fire. I just wished that the consomme came in a smaller portion because I couldn't finish the whole thing.

    In search of late night goodness, they didnt disappoint us! The service was fast and friendly. The food was good too, lol. Fresh and hot. They were packed and there was a steady stream of customers in and out. I'd definitely return and would recommend them! They were clean too.

    Inside
    Cole D.

    This place is now one of my faves in the city. The outside fools you, you think it can't be that good inside. Lemme tell you, these cooks know what they're doing. What a fun concept to mix Birria with toast or bread or dumplings. I'll come back and try more from the diverse menu. I got the slider, taco, and tostada. Tostada is ok, but the taco and slider were incredible. The slider has the softest bun ever. Friendly service with a smile.

    Hot Cheeto Elotes and Beef Birria Dumplings
    Noor D.

    Stopped in for a quick snack before going to a concert at Webster Hall. Got the hot Cheeto elotes and beef birria dumplings. Both were amazing! The consumé for the birria dumplings was flavorful and delicious. Elotes could have used extra lime but overall was good. Got the food quick and easy. Inside is small but we were able to find seats Great stop if you are in the east village. Wish we tried the birria tacos, but will definitely next time.

    Beef Birria Tacos
    Carina H.

    I'd been wanting to try Birria LES for probably the last 6 months. The Beef Birria Texas Garlic Toast Grilled Cheese definitely made the visit worth it. The garlic paired with the beef was genius. I need to try the sliders next time. I was excited for the Beef Birria Dumplings because social media posts about them was how I originally learned about Birria LES. However, after eating the birria grilled cheese, the dumplings just didn't compare. The dumplings were flat and soggy. While they were good, they didn't stand out to me. There was plenty of seating open on a rainy Saturday, but since we had a bigger order, there was a bit of a wait for our food. The sound of people dropping their glass bottles into the can by the fridge can be a bit loud, so I would sit further away from the fridge if that would be offputting for you.

    Chicken Birria Taco, Consomé
    Ruby C.

    The birria tacos were yummy but they were exceptionally good after dipping in the consomé. A flavorful combo that you shouldn't miss. FYI all the meat used are halal! This is a great quick bite spot for cheap eats before I get my pay check. *Beef Al Pastor Birria Taco** *Chicken Birria Taco The taco shell was thin and slightly crispy. I was really skeptical about adding pineapples to beef tacos (I don't like pineapple...) but the fruit actually went along well with fresh cilantro and meat. For the protein choices, the slow-cooked pulled beef was so juicy and tender. We found the chicken a bit dry, but it still tasted delicious after dipping in the soup. Both the meat and the sauces served on the side weren't spicy. *Consomé (small) There were plenty of shredded beef and cilantro in the consomé, so so so flavorful. I felt like a small size was good enough for dipping, as it was quite salty to drink the soup by itself.

    Stopped here for lunch on a Friday. We usually walk by a Birria place on our way to Grand Central, so seeing this as a must-try we worked it into the schedule. Not a large place- which really no places in NYC are, but just enough room to sit and eat without being overly crowded. Got two beef birria tacos with consumé, as well as esquites and a couple Jarritos. The beef birria tacos were very good - and they got our order inaccurate so I got an extra one. Overall this was good - price point was a little high but worth it to me. Would return.

    I'll just say it: best tacos in the world. Completely subjective, I know -- but Los Tacos No. 1…read moremakes it hard to argue otherwise. The ingredients are fresh, simple, and clearly quality. Tortillas are made to order right in front of you, and the whole experience just feels authentic and joyful. I had the steak and pork tacos, my friend got chicken -- we went back for a second round. That says everything. A few tips for first-timers: -- Don't sleep on the quesadillas. Seriously. -- If you like crispy tortillas, order the tostada -- they deep fry it and the result is incredible. -- Get the Horchata. It's not overly sweet and pairs perfectly with the tacos. The staff is 10/10 friendly and efficient. Don't be intimidated by the line -- it moves fast. Case in point: on a rainy morning, there was already a line at 11:01 AM (the place opens at 11). People know what they're doing here. The atmosphere is relaxed. They have nice, authentic music playing at all times. Highly, highly recommend.

We had our usual list of spots in Midtown East, but this time we wanted something a little different. We ultimately landed on Mexican, however even then there were several spots to chose from. One of my colleagues found CdM, and since we had nothing to lose we decided to check it out. In terms of physical space at CdM, there is very little; this is actually a walk-up spot hence it is solely a takeout restaurant. The menu is pretty straightforward - lots of Mexican staples with a good variety to choose from. The burrito bowl looked good so I decided to go with that - I was given choice of protein (I chose pastor) and types of beans (I chose black). The bowl was really good - all the ingredients tasted fresh and they were generous with the portion. They added sour cream to the top of the bowl and it came with a side of salsa verde which I thought was a nice touch. We also ordered some bags of tortilla chips to share - these were my favorite kind as they were semi-thick and super crunchy. Overall, I had a solid experience at Cinco de Mayo. It definitely hit the Mexican craving spot and I would have no qualms returning for another meal.

I'm not sure if it's trying to be "different," but the taco options were unappealing just from reading the descriptions. I managed to choose the two best-sounding items I could find, and honestly, they were so bland I don't even remember what they were. The setup and decor were basic. This spot could be a fun hangout, but it would take a better menu and staff who actually seem to care. It feels like just another restaurant that's lost sight of creating an actual experience for guests. The lack of vibe is obvious--if you don't want customers, just say so. I'm giving 2 stars out of respect for the fact that people have to work for a living.
