Taquitos dorados de birria
Anne M.

My bf and I been coming here for years now!! Best birria in LA! The service is fast and friendly, so kind. The ambiance is great, there's tables & shade.

2 Tacos Dorados and 2 Tacos Dorados Con Queso
Melisa C.

Wow. Haven't been able to stop thinking about these tacos since getting them. If you haven't been here or had birria tacos, this is the place to go. We ordered some regular birria tacos (tacos dorados) and some with cheese (tacos dorados con queso). Cash only still but they offer to-go or eat now options. We decided to eat there so it wouldn't risk getting soggy during the drive back. For the eat now option, the tacos are served on a plastic plate with a sheet of paper on top. Fairly nice presentation for a taco truck. They also have the onions and cilantro, limes, paper napkins, and straws on the counter so you can grab as much as you'd like. As for the food, the tacos are street taco size; I could easily eat 4-5 of these no problem. The meat is super flavorful and juicy, with just a bit of fat. It does get messy but just come prepared with some wet wipes. I also liked the slight crispiness of the taco shells as well as the consomme you order on the side. It's great for dipping the tacos into for extra flavor. The cheese version basically just has a layer of melted cheese on top. It was a bit harder to eat and didn't really add much to the taco to make it worth it. Overall we still have more birria places to try but its safe to say this place is one we'll be returning to again. The tacos are affordable ($1.25-1.75 each), the service was great and we had no issues finding the food truck. We may have lucked out with parking but this is worth walking a few blocks to get.

Barely any meat

Food still good but they hardly put any meat on the tacos. $2 a piece. They're skimpy with the meat.

three tacos on a checkered paper

Wow! Some of the best birria tacos I've ever had. In fact, I wish I had some now as I'm writing this review. The birria and the consommé are very flavorful and delicious. The tacos can easily stand alone but the consommé adds a spicyness and richness to each bite, changing the experience completely. The tacos dorados di birria are crunchy - served on corn tortillas, filled with onions and cilantro, chili oil and dipped in consommé, it's heaven in every bite. Pair then with a Coke to perfectly balance the sweetness with the salty and spicy tacos. Looking for something a little more rich, try the birria muleta or the quesataco di birria - the cheese adds an extra element of flavor that only enhances the flavor of the birria. Don't forget to hit up the fresh salsa bar - love the cucumbers and chili oil. This spot is a can't miss!

This is the AM action at one of my favorite PM taco spots. Its $1 Birria tacos dorados and mulitas. So delicious and the salsa are f**king mouthwatering. They are small but with the price it definitely makes it easy to take an easy 7 down.. lol Some of the best tacos ever!! 8am -230pm only Birria is served. It gets pretty busy but definitely a quick flow. Some seating available Drinks and sweets are also offered. But the tacos yes are a must. So yummy! Cash only No restrooms 25/100

It's my new fave! The meat is tender and flavorful not greasy at all! Great customer service definitely recommend the quesataco thou it is fire!

Birria burrito
Michael L.

Wow wow wow! Stopped by here on a whim during lunchtime while driving by. They only serve birria and you can tell they put extra love and focus into the meat. I ordered a burrito and you cannot go wrong for only $5! Highly recommend, but remember it is cash-only.

Best Birria Tacos I've had... I've drove past this food truck several times, and today was finally the day I decided to try it... Let me tell you I was not disappointed... Everything I ordered from here was amazing... The birria they sell is "de Res", which I love... Most places sell "de chivo" and I'm not a fan... I ordered tacos dorados, queso tacos, a mulita, a quesadilla and a large consome... It was alot of food and I only paid $20... Good food for a great price is my favorite ... The queso they use for the food is amazing it's so thick, flavorful and they use a lot of it so it's a great combination with the birria... The consome was really good to, great to dip the tacos and quesadilla in... They have the salsa and condiments set up in the front so you can help yourself... All 3 salsas are good and have so much flavor... I definitely recommend trying these birria tacos and will be coming back soon... They have some tables set up on the side walk if you want to eat there or can take your food to go... this place gets pretty busy, I recommend coming early, the consome is a great hungover remedy...

Avenue 26 has a cult following, and I'm happy to announce I am part of the cult now. I really…read moreappreciate that they're open 24/7 every day, so I can visit any hour I'm craving tacos in LA. The first time I went on a weekday in the middle of the day, so it was super empty and not the best because nothing was being made fresh- the meats and potatoes were kind of just sitting in bins so although the flavor was there, the cooled down temperatures really affected the taste. HOWEVER, I visited a few more times after that, these times all late at night, which really turned my experience around. I think at those times there were a lot more people and long lines, so everything was being made fresh and it being hot just made the food taste so so much better. I love how the toppings are all self-serve, and the hot potato is my favorite side. Carne asada, lengua, and al pastor are my go-tos. You'll want to add hellaaa green sauce to everything- I could literally drink that stuff straight. Love the big easy parking lot here, I'll mention that I saw a few security people checking all the cars and plates so I wouldn't recommend trying to park here and walk somewhere else!

First time for parking lot tacos for me!…read more I was feeling a bit peckish but didn't want to eat too much, so Yelpers, thank you for leading me here! I was able to snag two tacos for $4.50 that tided me over until dinner time. Now: bring your car because there's no place to sit! I arrived on foot, so dined standing up. Quite a variety of means - I'm a "safe" eater and enjoyed pollo and asada. I loved the self-serve salsas; the green salsa was delish and had a good little kick to it. Happy to have found this spot, and want to come back! 2026: 32/100

For for first timers, I'd recommend ordering the Villa's Trio which is what I got. Those come with the Ranchera Asada quesotaco as well as the Papas con Chorizo and Black Bean con Pollo quesotacos which are a trio exclusive. All the tacos were meaty, flavorful, and crispy. You honestly don't even need the side sauces since the tacos are already flavorful on their own. Great quality. I also got the Watermelon Agua Fresca which was refreshing, tasty, and sweet. Goes well with the tacos. I also got the Jamaica Agua Fresca, but that one was a bit too tart for my liking. The line can get long, so I would prepare to wait for up to an hour on weekends. There's ample free parking at the grocery store lot nearby. For seating and tables, it's limited and competitive. You just have to get lucky if a spot clears up as soon as you get your food. I also like how the restaurant handles crowd control. They allow a couple of people at a time to go inside, order, and get their condiments. You wait outside until they call you for your food. I like that it didn't feel crowded while I was getting my condiments. I highly recommend this spot and I will definitely be coming back.

I delayed writing this review to really think through, and now I will confidently say--these are…read moreeasily the best tacos I've ever had. Having been to so many taco stands, I think what makes Tire Shop Taqueria really stand out are the right-off-the-grill charcoal-grilled meats, the freshly made tortillas literally in front of you as you are waiting on line, and the free guacamole that comes with each taco. The ordering process is like any other taco stand, though one difference is here the salsas/guacamole are all handled by the staff. If you'd like more of something, just ask them instead of reaching for the ladle yourself. There is a separate area though for grilled onions/peppers and radishes you can serve yourself. I got the asada, chorizo, cabeza, and al pastor, and they were all so good. The asada and chorizo are specifically grilled over charcoal, and that flavor really shines through. I loved how meaty and tender the cabeza was too, and the classic al pastor hit the spot. They have large communal tables setup, so it is a great friendly vibe to enjoy your meal I will say, the surrounding area is not the best in LA, especially given how the taco stand is only open at night. The parking lot is quite small, so I parked on a side street that had some abandoned cars, but of course, if you are in/from LA, this is not that new for us. I would hesitate if I am a tourist though to make it out here. Anyhow, the food really is worth it here, and I can't wait to be back!

My husband said these are the best tacos he had in the states. Period. The flame grilled meats make…read moresuch a big difference in the flavor and the hand made corn tortillas are a must and take a great spot to an amazing spot. We only got the carne asada and the al pastor but it was so good we went back in line for seconds. The meat was very flavorful - the carne asada was thin but still very tender. The al pastor, I think uses a fattier cut than some other places but keeps it from drying out. The tacos were leaking meat juices still. The surrounding streets are quite dark at night but the parking lot the stand is in, is well lit and there is a covered seating area. We went on Thanksgiving weekend and there were maybe always 15-20 ppl in line at any given time. I imagine there are longer lines in the summer.

We ordered just a couple tacos - one asada and one tripa, based on reading numerous recommendations that those are what to get here. $3.50 a taco which is not bad for a restaurant taco. It's a cool casual vibe here. Seating inside as well as the patio. They have tasty looking horchata and other agua frescas. Colorful walls. They bring your food out to you by calling your name. The tacos were loaded with a pretty decent amount of meat and toppings. But sadly we were far from impressed by the flavor. The asada was okay and better than the tripa, but it paled in comparison to our go-to taco trucks in the area which only costs $1. And the tripa was strange to eat in taco form. The tripa is crunchy small pieces so it just feels odd to eat in a taco. Maybe if it was just served as an appetizer to eat by itself, but even then, it kinda just feels like you're eating pellets. Don't see the hype unfortunately.
