Birria Tacos
Lynne T.

10/10 birria tacos, super crunchy, cheesy, and yummy‼ We went to the Friday Night Munchies event and their truck was there, so that's where we got the tacos.

crispy mulita

Yummy spot for birria. We got the mamalona plate which comes with a taco suave, taco dorado, quesataco, mulita, tostada, and consome. We got it with the birria de res and it was so delicious! The quesataco was chefs kiss I really enjoyed the crispy tortillas on each of the choices. This taco truck posts where they're located on ig and are often with other trucks on the weekends.

Loved this! Split this between three people as we weren't that hungry but wanted tacos. Would definitely come back. The crunchy quesotaco was my favorite for sure.

Horchata

I got two queso tacos, one of Al Pastor, and one of Birria de res. The Al pastor was tender and flavorful! The Birria was juicy, flavorful as well, and not excessively greasy which birria can tend to be. I also ordered an horchata agua fresca, which is huge by the way and also pretty sweet. Service was friendly, and very helpful! They had outside seating for about 8 to 12 people. I look forward to coming back again.

Hella meat, would appreciate a little more cheese but it is technically light cheese lol

4 stars is for the birria + salsa , and they accept card with a minimal fee Birria is tender and not tough! Green salsas are off the walllll Consome needed a bit of work, a touch watery/not strong enough beefiness for my taste ===== Came here the other night with bae. $20 gets you a birria quesadilla, a quesotaco, birria soft taco (suave) birria crunchy taco (Rico?) Birria quesadilla They really pack on the meat here. We did request light cheese, but would have appreciated just a touch more lol maybe ask for "some" cheese and not "light cheese" haha Birria soft taco I didn't try this, but bae preferred the crunchy one. He said he'd stick to the crunchy Birria crunchy taco Crunchy indeed, ample filling. Deep fried and dipped into the consome, what is there to not like. Birria quesotaco I liked this a lot! The cheese kinda congealed, and it was a bit much, but I loved how it was chewy and crunchy and when you dip it into the consome/salsa, it was more elevated. The salsas!!! Avocado one had chunks of avocado and was just uniquely flavored. I really liked this, would love if they gave more though. The brown green one is really good too!! Idk what I'm eating, but I'd def come back for a quesadilla dipped into their glorious salsas. Service was friendly, I think it's family owned. Show them some love since parking is easy on the corner of a plaza! Thanks for existing!

Birria ramen with avocado

I'm going to start with I don't think they have updated their location I find them at birch st, I was craving a birria ramen so I went to get it, it was all worth it, the service was amazing!

We got Birria tacos with consome. The tacos were very salty and the consome was okay. The quantity was very little compared to other places. We came here at 9:30 pm, so 30 min before closing, so maybe the quality wasn't at its best. But anyways, we got what we were craving at the time. Service was quick. This taco truck is located next to many other ones.

"Quesadilla?"

I've been to this place plenty of times and the food is always good. I went tonight ordering 3 Al Pastor Tacos and a soft quesadilla. They seemed really busy only one person cooking up everything, but I didn't mind the wait because I know the food is good. I was told Al Pastor ran out waiting around for 15 minutes, so I changed my tacos to asada. I get home and the quesadilla they advertised on their tv, instagram, and this Yelp page show a single flour tortilla folded in half. The item I got looks like something entirely different. You're killing me here...

Birria Mulitas, asada, tripa and birria tacos Salsa verde and habanero was dank

Great spot for my cravings. Had burria mulitas, asada, Burria, and tripa Tacos. Miguel and chingon had great salsa and Jugo de Jamaica. Fast and dope service. Eating outside at their table setup was a good start for my day.

Got to the destination and La Mamalona Birria was not here. There is a different vender name Chariztortas. They were really nice and helpful. So I ordered this.

On a recent weekend night we came looking for the Mamalona specifically. My wife has been wanting to try this truck and we knew it has been posting up in the Central Ave taco truck area. So off we went. Luckily it was not too hard to find and not many people had shown up yet. Kinda early. As veterans of this taco truck street you will know that you'll have to park on the outskirts and walk in towards the trucks. For around $40 we got the Mamalona fries, Quesadilla w/ birria, and probably like 6 tacos? Not too bad, not 100 percent on exact order, but the Mamalona fries were sure worth the money. like 3 people ate off that. What can I say Birria was really good as was the consome that was included with order. It was to go and they included everything like salsas, limes, napkins, etc.... Tacos were pretty good size as was the quesadilla. One thing i did not realize was that they also had a sit down area and you could order from there and the truck. Take your pick.

Meat is tender and delicious, but should have ordered with cheese. My bad! For the picky eater (aka my kid) they can do a plain quesadilla. If you are hungry or a good eater, the burrito is your best bet. And if you get the birria for the burrito you will need to order the side of cosome for it otherwise it's just like having plain shredded beef.

My bf and I went to the Tianguis Farmers Market over the weekend and saw a few food trucks were stationed there. La Mamalona Birria was one of the ones I wanted to check out because I'm a fan of birria. I ordered two birria tacos, two birria quesadillas, and a Mexican Coke to share with the bf. Let me just say, I think we could have just done one of the quesadillas instead of two because it was really heavy and filling. The tacos were the perfect street taco size and that was delicious. They were stuffed with birria and we added the salsa for our enjoyment. Be careful of the red sauce, it has a bit of a spicy kick. Our order came out to just under $27 which is a tad pricey but it's a food truck and entrance to the Farmers Market was free. We were stuffed but that was a good thing. If you see them around, try the birria tacos!

It's very frustrating because they only except cash. There was a female employee that used to work there during the day. I haven't seen her for a while, but I wish she would come back. She was awesome!!!

Earlier this month I was in the Little Saigon area (Westminster) of Orange County in Southern…read moreCalifornia on a Taco Tuesday with family and discovered this food truck in the ABC Grocery store shopping lot on the intersection of Magnolia and Bolsa. Decided to drop in and was delighted to know their Taco Tuesday special is $1 street tacos for a select handful of 8 protein fillings and $2 for 6 other choices. Even their regular price is still very reasonable. There was definitely a line around 6pm but it moved quickly. Love that they also have a self service taco condiments bar and area on the side of their truck where you can top your food with the freshly sliced or pickled veggies/chilis and slather on various taco sauces to your heart's content. Especially loved that they use a rotating gyro style meat grill for some of their meats. I also noticed they had another truck/van parked nearby where one of the staff would go to replenish some of their supplies for their taco truck. What an efficient way to keep up with demand by having a mobile/secondary vehicle that you can use for storage of stock to keep up with the high demand. I loved all the street tacos that I tried: carnitas, fried fish filet, al pastor, carne asada. Flavorful and done right! Definitely recommend this spot any day of the week when they're open, but especially for their Taco Tuesday specials.

Honestly, this place is terrible. It doesn't come close to the superior Tacos El May right next…read moredoor. I used to come here on Taco Tuesdays only because the tacos were $1 and the line at El May is always too long. I chose convenience over taste, but in the end, this place offers neither. On my last visit, I waited about 40 minutes for my tacos. I ordered six and only managed to eat three before realizing I had overpaid and that the $1 tacos weren't worth my time or the effort it took to chew them. I threw the remaining three straight into the trash. I genuinely chose to go hungry rather than finish them. The meat and tortillas were both bad, and the portion sizes were pitiful. I honestly don't recommend this place at all, especially when Tacos El May is literally right next door.

I really liked: Baja Fish Taco…read more Churro I liked: Asada Mulita This was ok: Burria Taco The Baja fish taco is the standout #goodeats here. The crisp on the fish is solid, and it tastes clean without being overly greasy. Pair it with their sauce and it really comes together. The churro was super fresh and honestly one of my favorite parts of the meal. Light, crispy, and just sweet enough. If they added a chocolate dipping sauce, it would go crazy. The asada mulita leans heavily on the cheese. The cheese itself is good, but the asada doesn't bring much flavor, so it feels a bit one-note. The burria taco is just okay. It's a little dry, and while the sauce helps, you can still tell it's lacking some juiciness. Service is pretty straightforward. You walk up, order at the window, and grab your food when it's ready. Nothing over the top, but it gets the job done. I did appreciate that they'll pack up grilled onions and cucumbers if you ask. Nice little touch that adds to the experience. The plaza it's located in is super cute and honestly adds a lot to the visit. There's plenty of open seating, and it feels like a great spot for family hangouts or casual group meals. There's usually music playing, which gives it a fun, lively vibe.
