At the Antioch flea market on Saturdays! This food stall had the LONGEST line by far at 10:30am! Nothing wrong with a few quesabirria tacos for breakfast to kickstart the weekend. At $3.75 per taco, these babies are loaded with shredded beef and melty cheese, then nestled in two crispy taco shells. One filled me up! I really had to hold back on diving into the second. Get a free consommé to dip when you buy three tacos, so of course you have to get at least three. No outdoor seating available, so I wolfed it down in the car, which was a very precarious thing to do with all the liquids in the mix: consommé, salsas, and drippy grease. Have those napkins at the ready! read more

Read the hype about people outside of San Francisco waiting in long lines for the famed Quesabirras. I was so pleased to stumble across this stand at Emperor Norton's Holiday Bazaar with just one person in line ahead of me. Definitely enjoyed it, but probably wouldn't brave anything longer than a 5-10 minute wait for them. Quesabirras: Ok, I'm a fan. Way back as a little kid the French Dip sandwich started my love of dipping main courses in liquid. Now there's a taco version! Not just any taco, but a double layer crispy taco overloaded with cheese and stewed beef. The dipping soup is very rich and umami. Unlike bread, however, the crispy tortilla doesn't absorb that much liquid, so I find it best to chase each dipping with a sip directly from the consomme. Probably best if you're not sharing though, else the other person will get weirded out. read more

Best birria! You can preorder on the square site for pickup at their various locations.

Tried them for the second time and not my favorite for quesabirria or tacos in general. I feel bad to rate them so low given their customer service is excellent but the quesabirria is lacking on a lot of levels. First, the flavor, or lack there of. Meat was tender (the second time I tried it) but there was absolutely no seasoning, no flavor at all. Tortilla while nice and crispy doesn't seem to have been dipped in the consomé before crisping up the tortilla. Not enough cheese either. Consomé also lacked any richness, very watered down. read more

I tried OG Tacos 5 years ago, and have been trying to find a quessabirria taco that can even come close, and I can't. These are hands down the best tacos I've ever had, and if you haven't tried them, they'll be the best tacos you've ever had. What sets OG Tacos apart, is their consistency in texture of meat and loads of cheese, plus the best sauces make it a hit! I eat these about once a week from the Antioch Flea Market since I just live down the street. read more

I'm almost hesitant to write this review as this place already has lines longer than a Disneyland ride during its busiest times. However, I must do it for the benefit of the foodie community. Simply put: OG tacos were some of the first players on the quesabirria trend and are the only people to have perfected it. Let me paint you a story of how they're ahead of everyone else in the birria game. It first started as quesabirria tacos. It was the only place to succesfully achieve all 3 major marks of a perfect quesabirria taco experience: the crunchy outer shell, the juicy beef, and the exemplary consome dipping soup. Then the mad lads created the quesabirria quesadillas and slapped them on their secret menu. How could they have been so unorthodox, yet so pioneering and innovative. Next came the birria burritos. How they kept shoving birria in different forms was sign of a true birria king. However, it all changed when along came the Tapatio birria ramen. If heaven existed on earth, it lives right next to Epidemic Ales because good lord is the food truly amazing here. So if you're thinking about going to other places for quesabirria (e.g., el fuego, tacos el patron, la santa torta, el garaje, la grana fish, aguachiles el tamarindo), I'd tell you to STOP right what you're doing, put down the Yelp app you're using for research, and head straight to Los Originales (only available Monday, Friday, and Saturday, sigh). read more

Los Originales - Best ramen in Concord (sorry ramen 101) - Tacos Near Me - Antioch, California

My brother-in-law took my Fiance and me out for a night of drinks at Epidemic Ales. We haven't been here in a few years and boy have things change! (for the better of course) I'm sure many things have changed since we last visited, but with Covid going on, it forced them to have the tables outside which is a nice touch. I'm glad we decided to drink here because Los Originales was the food vendor for the night and damn was the food on point that night. First things first, Los Originales took my Birria Tacos virginity and this will be an experience that I'll remember for the rest of my life! What a special moment in my life! The crunchy taco shell with the meat drenched in sauce, plus whatever sauce that is on top is just an explosion of all things amazing in a taco. If I were forced to eat one thing for the rest of my life, it's this. How can something this amazing be introduced to me in 2020? My fiance doesn't eat red meat so she had a quesadilla and even that was amazing. Probably the best quesadilla I've ever tasted. Overall the food here is a perfect combo with Epidemic Ale's beer. Hopefully, we can go back to doing this because I'm going to need my fix real soon. read more

My mouth is watering just thinking about their food... *drool* A bright spot during our current pandemic has been getting to know OG tacos + birria consomme via Epidemic Ales. A friend in our pandemic pod started ordering a box of 10 tacos online every other week or so. She would pick them up from their food truck, along with some crowlers from Epidemic, divvy up our portions, and doorbell ditch us ours to enjoy safely at home. Their tacos are crispy and flavorful and the birria is a must for dipping said tacos. The provided green and red sauces, onion, cilantro, and lime are the perfect taco toppings for added texture and even more flavor. Just note that a little bit of their red sauce goes a long way heat-wise. While we have ventured out to try their quesadilla and keto taco (that replaces the regular shell with a shell made of cheese), we keep coming back to the tacos + birria. OG Tacos + Epidemic Ales are a perfect match. read more

Review is for the food only. My family member picked up/paid for the meal. This was my first birria taco experience and it set the bar high. We got the consumè with tacos and it is a winning combo. It was even good with the green and red salsa they had. One of the best meals and so inexpensive. Highly recommend. Whole family was raving about it and we will definitely continue to support this place. I would go out of my way to get these tacos, that's how impressed we were. read more

The food is definitely well served. If you are hungry, you get your moneys worth. We have had the food here twice now. The first time the food was seasoned better than the second. The tacos were still good, just seasoned a bit less the second time. Our low rating does not actually reflect on the food, it sure does on the customer service though. The lady who calls out the orders at the pick up window lacks customer service skills. So much so that we can call her very rude. It is disappointing to read through reviews that have already pointed this exact same thing out and to see that she is still in that position. She is bothered by even the simplest of questions. Twice now we have witnessed her being very snappy towards the customers. I truly believe that they will lose customers due to her. Overall, the food is worth the drive to Epidemic in concord which they partner with, but the lack of even decent service is below acceptable. read more

Food fads come and go in the San Francisco Bay Area. Remember cronuts, charcoal buns and now the ​fried chicken sandwich, mochi doughnuts,​ and ramen craze? Well, you can add quesabirrias to the list now! Although these tacos are the latest popular food trend here, they've ​actually been around for a long time. These tacos originated from the Tijuana area, and have long been popular in SoCal. I don't know what took them so long to gain popularity up North, or how long this food craze will last, but it's here! After hearing about these Tijuana-style tacos and hearing great things about Los Originales, I knew this is where I wanted my virgin tongue to taste these tacos for the very first time. Just expect to wait a very long time. After standing in a long line and finally placing my order, I was told that the wait to get my tacos would be somewhere between 45 minutes to an hour. They were ready in about 45 minutes. Still a long wait for tacos, IMO. I'm just glad I was actually able to get my tacos in the knick of time because ​halfway into devouring them, they had to close their stand once the winds started howling​ and the rain started coming down like crazy. They refunded everyone who hadn't yet received their order, and there were a lot of people in this category. It got a bit crazy, but this was ​totally beyond their control. I was actually glad to see that they prioritized safety above profit because hot cooking grease and a hot griddle under a tent set-up outside makes for a dangerous combination with strong winds and rain. The tacos are made with two tortillas filled with cheese and birria, a stewed-like meat, similar in preparation to barbacoa. You can get them with or without the ​cheese. A customer behind me said she was a regular and orders at least 40 tacos to-go each time for her family. She told me I just had to get them with cheese, and I really really love cheese beyond belief, so it was a no-brainer. Within a second, my perpetual indecisiveness disappeared, and I got all four of mine with cheese. The tacos are definitely tasty and delicious with the stewed meat. No doubt about that, especially with all the extra added condiments. However, just know that they are very greasy and when I picked it up, grease started dripping out immediately. These are filled with a lot of cheese, almost maybe a tad too much, making it a bit difficult to distinguish the birria. This is coming from someone who will smother cheese on anything and everything she can. Immediately, my fingers were smothered in the grease seeping through both tortillas. However, that didn't stop me from polishing off all four of them by myself! The real problem though was that these tacos didn't hold up so well, even within a short amount of time. They told me my order would be ready within 45 minutes to an hour, so I went back about 50-55 minutes later to check up on it, only to find that my tacos had already been made and were just sitting out. Because the tacos sat out for about 5-10 minutes before I got them, they were already a tad cold. The very first one I ate was still crunchy and had cheese that was still warm, but the remaining three had cheese that had already solidified and lost their stretchy cheesy pull. Unfortunately, sitting out and also being placed one on top of another also caused the tortillas to loose most of their crunch. I'd strongly suggest trying to get them right when they're ready so you can enjoy them at their "peak". Or maybe they could hand out buzzers so that customers know exactly when they need to retrieve their tacos. Included with your order will be an accompanying​ consomme which can be used for dipping your taco into. Personally, I couldn't really taste it much when I used it for dipping, and it just seemed to make my tacos soggy. For me, it was so tasty that I preferred just taking sips of it. I really like the self-serve condiment bar, where you can add on as much chopped cilantro, red onions, radishes and lime wedges your taco-loving heart desires. I don't think these tacos would nearly be as tasty without these added fresh toppings though. If you've never had a quesabirria, this is worth trying. Try something you've never had!Sometimes it's good to allow your FOMO to overtake you. I personally prefer traditional street tacos, but I'd go for these whenever I'm having a serious "go-all-out" taco craving. Heads Up: Los Originales will be making​ their San Francisco debut at the super popular Off The Grid at the Salesforce Tower in December.

Seeing them on Instagram, my husband has been eyeing them since. We forgot all about it until my bestfriend asked us to go on a Saturday. They are located inside the fairgrounds. 9am the line is already long. Around 10:30 it died down after we were done eating. Lines moved a little slow but when you get your food, it just feels like everything goes by quick. They had 3 tables and maybe 6 chairs each. The 1st 30 minutes if you don't have a table you'll be eating your food standing up. By the time we got our food, we ended up getting a full table which was nice. We got to enjoy our food. We ordered 9 Quesabirrias (large corn crispy tortilla w/ cheese & birria) it wasn't so crispy but it tasted okay, 2 tacos Dorado (it's like quesabirria with no cheese on the inside, consome con carne (birria broth w/ meat) you can dip your tacos in. My best friend got their keto tacos (no tortillas but they used cheese for the shell). They have 2 kinds of salsas (green & orange). Both versions had mild and spicy. The orange is better but it was extra spicy. My family loved the extra spicy orange sauce. They have a table for their sauces and utensils right next to them. It has the 4 salsas, pickled vegetables (which was spicy too but so goo) radish, onions, cilantro & limes. You put all the condiments yourself. When it got messy, they cleaned it up quick and they refilled it. The only thing I didn't like was they were being stingy giving sauce containers. After spending $45 here they only gave us 5 plastic containers for the sauce. They won't give you anymore if you ask for extra to put your onions, cilantro & pickled veggies. I guess they want you to put it with your tacos. Uuumm other people do not want their food soggy. Maybe next time I try them, they'll be more generous with their containers read more

I've been wanting to try quesabirrias, and stumbled upon OGTacos at the Off The Grid Emperor Norton's Holiday Bazaar at the Salesforce Transit Center back in December. The bazaar had just opened and after checking out all the stands, this was the one consistently with people in line. They asked me if I wanted a cup of consomé on the side, which I found out was free, so I said sure, not knowing what it was. Their quesabirria consists of a double layer of tortillas fried extra crunchy with beef and cheese inside, and of course was very tasty. At first I dipped the quesabirria into the meatless consomé, and found that the broth was good and not too salty so I ended up drinking the rest of the broth. I later read that the owners intended for customers to drink the broth. read more

Get rid of the lady at the window, she is rude and aggressive and is hindering the business. The way she treats people is basically asking for customers not to come back. We've tried to look past her attitude because the food is good but we've had enough. She must be related to the owner because any other business would have had her gone a long time ago. Will not be back.​ read more

Customer service is excellent!!!! My husband loves this place and only Birria tacos in concord we will eat period.

The food is just a plus!!! read more

I always get excited when we get to have OG tacos. They are so flavorful, the consume makes them even more savory, and their red/orange salsa is so spicy but delicious. I recently tried their keto tacos (was trying to have a lower carb day) and they were just as tasty, obviously lacking that bready taste from the tortilla but still delicious and filling. There is definitely a reason the line is always so long for these or in the case of quarantine, a reason they sell out so fast. I think their exclusivity makes them even more sought after. read more

The tacos were delicious and juicy like always ! Always have had a great experience with food and customer service. Tonight was different. The lady that was helping in the front was upset, I asked for onions/cilantro on the side since none was given with my online order. And she got bothered saying next time I have to put that on the comments because she's busy and won't do that for me again unless noted. read more

Just bought food from you guys tonight at epidemic ales. Brought it home to eat and there was no consume. It was 8 quesabirrias, birriaquiles, quesadilla, 2 vampiritos.Can't enjoy birria tacos without it. It is the most important part of quesabirrias. Bad first experience. Had decent flavor but was dry without the comsume. read more

I'm not usually a fan of Birria, but OMG!!! These tacos have got to be the best I have ever had, I normally don't have cheese on anything but YOU HAVE GOT TO GET THE CHEESE WITH YOUR TACO!!!

You won't be disappointed! read more

We had OG Tacos cater an event for us. The service was amazing and the tacos are top notch. They brought a lot of fixins for the tacos. Included chips, salsa and some excellent sauce in hot and mild. The service was fast and efficient. Oh I forgot to mention they made a couple of our guests a Keto version with no tortillas. We're doing Keto right now but you best believe I had some of those tortillas. Amazing service and we'll use them at our next event. read more

Let me start off by saying that I used to look forward to eating OG Tacos on Saturdays at the Antioch flea market. That was until I noticed the meat and quality of the food went to down hill. I decided to give them another try today; the 27th of January, at epidemic ales. I ordered 2 quesabirrias. The meat was chewy as if I was chewing gum it felt like. The tortilla were hardly soaked in the broth they used to toast the taco. The cheese felt like it was never going to break down. That was the worst that iv had from them. Huge disappointment. The only thing I enjoyed in todays visit was a squirt I ordered with the chili powder in a cup. read more

Omg! Yum! Such good birria! Love gettin tacos and then a beer from epidemic ales. Yum yum yum

Tacos are decent service is terrible. when you ask for containers to take salsa onions cilantro and limes they try to limit you to 6 tiny little ramekins for all your toppings and salsa even tho you just spent 70$ on 20 tacos, and then when you ask for more they are very rude About it. The cups they give you for the consume soup are very cheap, the lids break and don't stay on so if you try to take some to go it will spill all over your car. For the prices they are charging for these mediocre tacos you would expect the service to be exceptional but it is far from that. I never go out of my way to leave a bad review on a business but from the experience I had I thought I would share it with other people that are thinking about trying this place out. Will not be eating here again. read more

I think we have eaten more tacos from this place than I can count. HANDSDOWN the food is PHENOMENAL! so full of flavor and no fat in my tacos. The Quesabirria tacos are EVERYTHING. The meat is juicy, the tacos are flavorful and very filling. I learned how to make my Consume by adding onions, cilantro and the red sauce tops it off to perfection. I have taken everyone I know here and introduced hundreds of My family, friends, coworkers and they have proceeded to take their loved ones. When you go when they are serving at Epic Ales in Concord, It's a great vibe and Awesome crowd. I even take my daughter to the Antioch Flea market on Saturday's to eat these tacos for lunch. The only criticism I think they could improve on is Customer service. These are hard times, we could all use a smile, we come here to support them and it should be appreciated. When they are at Epic Ales the girls who ring you up are super snappy and rude. Not friendly or even fake kind at all. One even yelled at my boss like she was a child. However, when they are at the flea market they are sweet, cheerful and super kind. Either way the foods is amazing which is why they still get 5 stars. I'd highly recommend giving them a try! read more

I have been going here for two years. Lately I have seen a decline in their food quality. Their consume is watered down. When you look at it, it's a brown liquid. The consume is supposed to be more so red. The food has been lackluster lately; the customer service hasn't been too good either. If you are having a friend try quesabirria for the first time. I would recommend going elsewhere. read more

What can I say? Birria tacos con consomé,yum! Best around,like a mexican French dip! Get there early they run out!

Best tacos I've ever had. I've picked them up twice while visiting Epidemic Ales on a beer run. They made a great quesadilla for my kids and answered all my questions about food allergies. Plus, the price is totally reasonable. I can't wait to grab more. read more

I would definitely give it more stars if I could. Their quesabirrias are DELICIOUS. I've tried many others from other restaurants but nothing compares to OG tacos.

Their red hot sauce is super spicy but so addicting. read more

Omg Just soooo Good! It's a must try! Their QuesaBirra taco are amazing I only ever been to one one other place with comparable QuesaBirra tacos. I stood in line in the 98° weather for 25min ordering and making my order, it's a bit pricey. But this food is worth all of that! Yummy read more

THE BEST tacos I've ever had in my life, and no I'm not over exaggerating. You really need to come eat here

The meat is cooked to a great texture but could use more flavor. It would be helpful if they were more generous with the sides (cilantro, lime, hot sauces). I asked for extra the second time and still only got the same amout. I mean we're investing to buy 10 tacos because that is the only way to order at least make the sides equal to the amount of tacos we are ordering. read more

Best tacos ever , very original!!!! Great people, tasty and everything is fresh . I will come back every Friday.

Just wanted to say thank you so much for yesterday! Everyone loved the tacos! Everything was amazing. You guys are amazing! Thanks for making my boys day extra special!! Definitely booking you guys again! read more
