Taco truck specializing in birria located in Compton. This place has the vibe of a beloved neighborhood spot. I've read that the recipe/ method has been in the family for three generations. And lucky for this taco enthusiast, I am able to be the beneficiary of said recipe while supporting the family. Every order comes with a complimentary small fried bean taco, and the beans are a recipe from Barajas' grandmother, who died earlier this year. Ordering was super easy with the people being super kind and helpful. There's also some seating available set up on the corner of the lot where the truck is located. Of course, I had to order some of the birria tacos. I got a couple of the tacos which came with a side of consome, the small fried bean taco, and a couple of salsas and the other accoutrements/ toppings. As expected these tacos and everything that came with them was delicious. Big fan of this place. read more

Really good birria. Haven't had something this good and authentic in years. Very friendly people and great customer service. The ambiance is great whether it's full or a smaller group. It's enjoyable to eat here or take it to go. But haven't had a great experience with food trucks and this is one hidden gem. read more

This place was recommended by my coworker and it didn't disappoint! Everyone was so welcoming, the food (especially the goat) was AMAZING it tasted really good and did not leave any after taste. The broth was nice; you can easily drink it by itself and is a good addition to the quesabirria. They also have chairs and tables, which allows their costumers to sit and relax while eating or waiting for the food. Overall, I recommend going to this place. They're definitely one of the few hidden gems i've tried! read more

I went hunting for this truck with my bf cause his mom said it's delicious and she wasn't kidding. I got the Birrieria ramen & was soooooooo good. The service was pretty quick too considering the amount of people they were serving. It's definitely street food vibes considering it's from a truck and they do have a seating area too which is perfect for the food truck vibe. Definitely plan on coming again to try their other food. read more

Where do I begin with this? Let's start of eating it right away. I heard about the place and decided to try it out. No doubt, one of the best birria. We got here around 9a on a Friday. Parking is of by a market, can be tough but street parking is available. Go here early to avoid long lines and wait times. We ordered taco and taco dorado (goat and beef). Consome is delicious and so are the tacos. Goat is definitely delicious, I would get the goat itself dip it in their consome. Yum! Will definitely go back here and recommend it for early bird. They're here until 2pm. Psa: they only take cash. read more

I came to Birrieria Barajas a couple days ago to do a food review on behalf of L.A. Times Food and let me tell you-- I was blown away by their birria. I had the honor and privilege of trying most of their menu and it was hands down the BEST Birria I've ever had. The L.A. Times Food team has been working on curating a list of L.A.'s Best Tacos and Birrieria Barajas is in the Top 10 list! It's 100% family operated and they were the kindest people. Customer service was phenomenal and when I got there, I heard a lot of happy and excited customers. After learning their story, I was moved. I will definitely come back here whenever I'm in Compton. Their taquitos de frijol was my favorite along with their quesabirria de chivo. The place was clean and they've done a great job at establishing themselves within the community. Lots of happy customers left and right. If you're looking to try goat birria, support family owned businesses and get some bomb food, THIS IS THE BEST SPOT ! Gracias a todos read more

No lo recomiendo. Por diez dólares solo me dieron puro pellejo, ese gordo blanco que flota en la birria. Creo que me vieron la cara de ebrio y aprovecharon para darme las sobras del domingo. Al menos me hubieran echado tantita carne buena. Se pasaron de lanza, y por eso jamás en mi vida volveré a ese lugar restrero. read more

This food is good! There is a seating area where you can enjoy your meal! The workers were very lovely! The sides aren't given in plentiful! The consomé was OKAY, the meat was cooked nicely but again it was just good. In my opinion it was 7/10 but if you're in the area and are craving some Birria taste for yourself read more

What can I say about this place, well food is good but the service is absolutely devastating I was on my way to order food today in the morning and I saw the employees arguing with a customer and it escalated fast to where the OWNER of the place launch an Onion to the client well ex client to his vehicle And I told my wife is this the place where I want to eat before work? Anyways I've worked in the restaurant industry for years and never would treat a customer the way they did no matter the situation, very sad specially when it comes from a small business owner....I also asked the guy what happened and he replied with "all I wanted my money back because of poor customer service" Wow I'm definitely not coming back! read more

This place is a gem. My son and I had the best birria quesa tacos. The tacos are cooked in a sauce until they are lightly crispy. Served on a plate with a wonderful surprise of a small bean taco. I ate the bean taco first, as a dipped it into the flavorful consomé on the side. We both chose to eat the goat meat, which was tender and tasted good. read more

Mark Wiens and Mexi Papi brought me to this place. I was excited to try goat birria as I've only had beef birria. We got there around 11:00 am and it was busy. By the time we got there, we were told they only had the short bone left. It didnt matter to me, I just wanted to try it. Please note, they only take cash and the wait is about 30 minutes. They do have a help wanted sign on the truck so be patient with them. We got a few things but I would pass and just order the birria. The asada taco was eh and we order a taco where the shell was made of cheese (I dont know the name of it). The cheese shell taco was salty but they packed on the birria. The goat birria was great. You can totally taste the difference between the beef and goat birria. Their sauce definitely added a little kick to it. read more

We stopped by on way home to Sacramento. I found this place because I watched a Mark Wiens review on YouTube. The Birria was amazingly delicious!! We ordered the Birria plate, quesabirrias and Ramen. Everything was so delicious! We even took two orders of Birria to go! Definitely coming back when in LA. read more

I've been going around L.A. looking for the best birria and believe me, we finally hit the spot. Not only is it delicious but also has great customer service. As a fellow entrepreneur/business owner, I can easily say, they're doing great. Stop by and try a taco, maybe 2, hey, why not the birria plate if you're really hungry! read more

This food truck is run by a very kind and generous family that is very supportive of schools. My favorite item on the menu has to be their tacos dorado. The goat meat was delicious and flavorful! read more

I've been on a hunt for these tacos for a long time. My vision was someone's mom over a hot clay oven or cast iron skillet with sweat of love dripping down her face. Well my vision was way off and it was a food truck by the way. But still well worth my dream. OMG NO CHICKEN LOL. My friend was down in the dumps but I was in heaven. Soooooo goooooooooooooooood. All of my favorite meat selections. Goat too.... wow. I'll be back to your truck and that liquor store right behind you for a beer and tequila shot with a lotto ticket on the side. Good job. I should have posted all three of my plates. Sorry this was the survivor till that night now its in stomach heaven with its taco siblings. read more

There's a million positive things you can say about Birrieria Barajas but you should let the food speak for itself. By far the best food I've had since I've moved here to CA 6 years ago. Try the Mexi Papa special it's beyond amazing. The owners are the nicest people in Los Angeles, extremely welcoming and polite. Writing this review makes me want some right now. Trust me when I say it's fire!!!! Go get some now. read more

After watching a review from Mexipapa I couldn't wait to try the 'mexipapa special'. If you enjoy goat meat Guadalajara style then this is the place you must try. The meat is so flavorful, the consomé is great and the little taquitos taste like heaven, now if they would also offer handmade tortillas then this place could be called heaven. Highly recommend it!!! read more

Great service and amazing food, I recommend getting the Chico birria, not too crowded but definitely get there early.

Amazing birria. I frequent several other birria establishments in the area, and this place is the best, by far. Heads up folks, show up during non-peak hours because if there's a line, you are gonna have to learn how to patiently wait your turn for service. Great service. Great birria. Five stars. Highly recommended. read more

I had a craving for authentic "birria de chivo". I checked out some yelp reviews and found this place. Never thought I could order ahead for pick up from a food truck, but guess what? I did! Customer service was great, but the best part was the great tasting authentic Birria!! I ordered a plate, some fried tacos and their quesadillas with Birria. Needles to say they are my favorite Birria truck!! They even have the "extras"! I wouldn't mind eating there either, they have shade and some tables and chairs if you want to eat there. All in all its a 10 for me read more
