    Birria Master is located on Rosemead Blvd and they have their own parking lot. You can also park on the neighboring streets if you pass the lot. I enjoyed the ramen and quesataco. They accept card and cash. There's 4 tables outside for dine in. There's also a side cart to get self serve sauces and sides. Prices: Quesataco Combo$16 Birria Ramen $18

    Came on a Saturday evening around 6pm. Plenty of parking next to its taco cart in its alleyway and there's also street parking. When I arrived there were about 2 of 4 of the tables occupied and I was the only person in line. My order of two birria quesataco combos were ready in less than 10 minutes. I would definitely come back. The tacos were flavorful and consummate was tasty. There's a side table with sauces and sides.

    I thought this was an indoor restaurant when I looked at the photos but it is actually a trailer with seating set up. So if you think you missed the location look for the flags on the street. You turn in and there is some parking in a lot or on the street. I really loved everything here! The birria is soooo delicious! The queso tacos were full of flavor and the soup is just so warm and tasty as well! I will definitely be coming back to this spot!

    The guy there is super nice and cooks everything fresh! The consome is very flavorful and rich. The quesataco combo is the best value choice. There is a good amount of seating but it did get busier when I left. The tables are very clean and comfortable.

    There is a very small parking lot with one way in and out. Tables are also limited, but there is a lot more seating than your typical food truck! The tacos were absolutely delicious, and the staff were great. It definitely felt like a locals joint, they were greeting their customers by name. They were just setting up some kind of fresh juice situation as we were leaving, but I definitely want to go back and check that out! I'll definitely be back!

    There's a private lot that's small. But most folks would be getting take-out or finish their meal that it's not an issue of space. The whole area is outdoors but within a large canopy. The tables have colorful cloths and there's classic Mexican movies played on the background. It's great for hangouts for being out. The menu is short which is great to avoid choice-paralysis and they do their specialty well. The staff are really friendly and helpful. The food arrives at a good pace. They have a toppings bar. I got the quesataco combo. Those were some of the best I've ever had. Hot fresh and really cheesy. I was almost burning my fingers to keep eating them (which was worth it). The addition of the consommé elevates the tacos with a nice kick of flavor. I even got a few sips afterwards just to have more. Definitely recommended. Worth a chance.

    THE best birria in town! I've been coming to Alvaro and his team since the very beginning over 3 years ago, and the food has only gotten better. The queso tacos with connsomé are legendary and we love impressing out of town friends with them. There's always a spread of fresh salsas and accouterments, and these salsas are some of the best out there, made with roasted peppers so they're imparted with great, smokey flavors. Make sure to check out Birria Master's IG @BirriaMaster for hours and specials (they'll occasionally experiment with different meats and offerings such as lingua, seafood tostadas, cajun shrimp boil, etc). There's plenty of family style seating as well as parking in the lot and street parking. Catering services are also available so definitely inquire if you're looking to feed your folks at a party or gathering.

    If you are looking for the gold standard of tacos, look no further. Birria Master is officially in a league of its own. I've tried a lot of spots, but this is hands down the best ever. Here's why you need to drop everything and go: The Food: The tacos are perfection. The meat is incredibly tender, the consommé is rich and flavorful, and everything is seasoned to ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!! The Service: Often, great food comes with a long wait or indifferent service, but not here. The staff is attentive, fast, and genuinely friendly. The Ultimate Test: My baby approved! As any parent knows, if the little one is happy and eating, the place is a winner. It's rare to find a spot that hits the mark for both foodies and families.

    i got the birria ramen and it was filling & the flavors were yummy! the only thing is that the picture was misleading and i thought it was going to come with an egg. definitely will be back for next time to try other stuff. parking: street parking

    I've eaten at Birria Master a few times and every experience has been great. The food always tastes wonderful and if I ever have leftovers they taste even better the next day. In addition to the amazing food, I love that it is a family owned business. I'm really big on customer service and I've had the pleasure of talking with both the owner and his lovey wife. I love the family feel of the atmosphere every time I go. They always take the time to stop and talk to their customers. I love their beef quesadillas and tacos. If you haven't tried it yet, I would highly suggest you do .

    YUMYYYY

    This is my wife's and I plates after eating here at Birria master. We found this place coincidentally after searching for other spots. We decided to give it a try and we have been here almost every week in the last three months . The consistency and the texture of the tacos the flavor everything about the preparation of the food has all the ingredients and mouthwatering flavors. This is the only location where my wife and I come to, and this will be the only place that we will come to from here on out.

    Before you read anything else, they only take cash so be sure to hit an ATM before you come…read more So many things I love about this taco truck! We had gone to the UCLA football game at the Rose Bowl on Saturday night and after all the mayhem was over at 11:30 pm I really wanted some truly good food and not get gouged on price - and I knew that Yelp would help me find just that...and we found Los California Tacos! First of all, this food truck was voted the nations #1 food truck in 2022 by ZenBusiness who evaluates food trucks based on Yelp reviews and voted them #1 out of the top 10 most reviewed food trucks in the US! - So there's that. And then we found out why, first hand. I'm originally from Texas and the rule there is the way to find a great restaurant you for a place that has a lot of cars in the parking lot and a line out the door. And this taco truck is tucked back in the small parking lot of an auto repair shop sonofabitch you're driving too fast you might miss it. But we saw all the cars parked on the street and then the line of people at the truck. My girlfriend was like "I don't wanna wait a half hour to eat" but because of how late it was (they stay open till 2:30 am) we decided to stay and give it a try. It was astonishing how fast they were moving people through that line! From the time we hit that parking lot, we were feasting within 5-7 mins. They only serve 2 things - street tacos ($2.50 each) and we later saw that they also serve nachos (not sure what the price is on nachos - but we'd love to try those next time ). They have a wonderful assortment of meats as you can see from my pic: asada (steak), pastor (BBQ pork), carnitas (fried pork), chicharron (spicy pork), cabeza (beef cheek) & pollo (chicken). We got asada, pastor and pollo tacos and they were VERY good. You can get spicy or mild and they come with onions & cilantro. There are 4 or 5 guys cooking and as soon as you tell them what you want they are handing to you - not kidding, lightning fast, hot & fresh! It is artistic how well-oiled their whole business runs and is VERY impressive!! They don't have actual tables (because that would be inefficient). The auto repair shop has installed a pull-down shelf on the parking lot wall that you walk over to once you have your food and it is very efficient and absolutely perfect for this location. Again, this one our most impressive finds and $14 for 5 tacos and a 5 min wait for what looks to be a 30+ min wait is just unheard of. 5 stars all day long!!

When I finally got around to eating the tacos, it was very tasty and there was a nice crisp to the Ensenada style tacos. I definitely cheer for places like this, and I tend to score a little higher only because I feel like there needs to be more places like this around. Not only that, but they have a pretty extensive menu, but I really just came here specifically for the fish tacos on this visit.

Arrachera taco was definitely a special treat! The blue corn tortilla held perfectly and the meat had just the right texture. I wouldn't get this all the time as it's pricey, but worth it if you're looking to treat yourself. Mango Fresca was right up my alley. It's not too sweet with a little pulp, I'd definitely get this again. Would definitely recommend, I'll be coming back.
