Truck
Maddy T.

This place is simply overrated. The pictures look so GOOD but it felt a little deceiving. The first time my bf and I came here the place said it was open but the building was closed and when we went to the back it was so creepy and dark. This time we tried going again because I kept seeing pics of the birria and the building was closed yet again. We tried to find this food truck and we're so confused but it's on the street around the corner of the wall. There's no signs or anything. I tried calling them as well and they didn't answer. We got an order of asada fries, a birria taco dorados, a chorizo, pollo and Al pastor taco. To summarize everything: the meat had no flavor. Birria had no spice, chorizo tasted like old oil, Al pastor lacked seasoning and chicken STAY AWAY. The chicken was a nightmare. Fries were soft, not crispy. Green salsa was watered down, red salsa tasted of just Chile de arbol and nothing else, guac tasted like pre made powder. The lady who took our order was nice and as a whole everything wasn't insanely bad but the fact that we even had to ask for specific salsas and any other sides/condiments was pretty annoying. There's no way for you to know what they have because they don't have it out or just give it to you. We never got lime or extra onions because we didn't know we had to ask. All they ask is what salsa we want, nothing else. Theres a lot of things this business could do better but right now the food just seems Instagram influenced and not about the actual quality.

Birria Ramen in Tapatío ramen cup,

This is good if you have no other options. For me , this was super salty. It relies heavy on the Tapatio ramen cup. The consome lacked taste. Sadly, mine had only a bit of meat, sprinkles of onion and maybe one cilantro leaf. None provided on side. No rabanos (radish) ,no lemon, not even a pepino. I'm glad I tried it so I know what I'm in for. Honestly it was late night and nothing else was open. Also glad I had lemon at home. To their credit, the birria taco was very well served meatwise.

Was craving some birria tacos and saw this food truck nearby. Got tacos dorados with and without cheese, a keto taco (which is basically cheese as the shell, which I really liked) and a consome. It was really good except it was a bit salty for me. Also I wished they had some holes on their takeout box because by the time I get home to enjoy these tacos, they are already a little bit soggy. The consome was $3 for a tiny cup, I think I've been elsewhere with a bigger portion but it's definitely a must with my tacos. They also serve birria ramen which I wanted to try but was too full to do so. Maybe next time!

I Love good tacos And they have good tacos. I had a Carne Asada and Al pastor quesataco. Can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu.

They back at the original spot

I don't even know what to rate it yet , they show you a cali burrito on Instagram with hot Cheetos advertising that it basically comes like that nonetheless we go today to get that and my fiancé gets home to take a bite and theirs No Hot Cheetos in the burrito literally ruined her meal as well as mine because of that smh don't ask how or why but I'm sure your specific other gets pretty bothered when their hungry and go to buy something and drive 25 min their and 25 min back to find out you didn't get what they "advertise" on Instagram . Sucks when you go to a spot for the first time in awhile for it to just ruin your lunch and mood ... I didn't even eat my food right when I was going to take a bite I hear my fiancé already complaining so it ruined my meal for me ... smh .

Service was great here. The inside is very cozy with a mix of seating arrangements. Food was fantastic. Must try ! Did I also mention the staff was awesome

Birria tacos
Star G.

Delicious!! I drove 25 min for there birria ramen and it did not disappoint its so good has so much birria in it and totally hits the spot on a cool October night. Everyone here is really friendly and go out of there way to make sure you leave happy. Highly recommend stopping by and trying it I guarantee if you do this will become one of your regular spots.

Came here on a Saturday night and it was dead. No line which seemed nice but as soon as we interacted with the lady we understood why. Crappy attitude from the lady working here. Ordered what we wanted and paid 34 dollars for 3 birria tacos, 1 birria taco dorado 1 Mulita and a ramen. Upon coming home with the food I opened the foil and started laughing at how small the tacos were. It's horrible lol. Flavor wasn't that good either. Even the ramen tasted like they dropped a salt shaker in it. Should have just went to the other place that had a line across the way. Well live and learn.

a plate of nachos
Nicole S.

Obviously burnt but still decided to serve. Made the nachos very bitter. Check your order before heading home.

Carne Asada fries

The carne Asada fries were tasty but not the greatest either. I'm very picky with my carne Asada fries that's why. But that's just me. They come garnished with nacho cheese sauce, sour cream, cilantro and onion and green salsa. Personally I prefer my carne Asada fries with actual cheese melted on them as opposed to nacho cheese sauce and I prefer them to have avocado or guacamole on them too. I've seen some come with beans too and that's also yummy. If it came with all that bang they would've been 5 stars but instead these are a good solid 3 cus they are still tasty the carne Asada is delicious for sure.

Once you eat here you'll never go anywhere else. The tacos. The torta. The burrito. I should have reviewed months and months ago because I'm here once a week and keep coming back. Beyond the food this cart is an asset to the neighborhood. The line is frequented by everyone, anyone. The tacos and burritos are universally loved and you'll see a slice of LA every time you go.

The seasonings or the way they cook - the flavors and textures are better than a lot of other places I've had tacos from. I got two carne asada and two al pastor tacos. Total as of early 9/2025 was just $10 for four tacos! We came here on a weeknight a little before they were packing up for the night, so the vibe was chill. They also have a good spread of salsas and a DIY fresh toppings area. I just found this taco stand in East Hollywood because I was leaving a comedy show and it was on the later side. Most places were either closed or closing. Saw this place and it seemed perfect for a quick bite that wasn't a big strain on the wallet. Maybe there's more of a line on the weekends, but if not, this is the type of spot where I wouldn't be surprised if there's a constant line at some point.

Location: I'm not sure if they do multiple spots or if they moved spots. Just in case, my review is…read morefor them where the biggest cross streets are Francisquito Ave and North Hacienda Blvd. It's down Francisquito on sidewalk in between the entrances of 7/11 Gas and McDonald's. Service: Sweet and friendly faces! They serve you up as quickly as they can and are also patient if you need to decide what to get. Food: As a vegetarian, I cannot give my own opinions but I will relay the opinions of my mother. The options are all good and very flavorful. Nothing was dry. Still juicy and delicious! The Lengua/Beef tongue and Cabeza/Beef head is her favorite. You serve yourself cilantro, onions, etc. Use the baggies for what'e in the tubs and of course the sauce containers for the pico de gallo, salsas, and guacamole. This is a small street food business that's well-lit and you can tell they keep things neat and organized. Overall, I'll definitely take my mom back for more and let my niece try stuff too!

Pretty bomb tacos! I'm happy I don't have to go all the way to DTLA for some great tacos al pastor!…read moreThe service is quick and friendly. They make their tortillas fresh and I loved watching them make the mulitas. There was so much cheese, I was convinced to get one! We visited mainly for their Papa Rellena (a Mexican-style loaded baked potato) and it did not disappoint. There's nowhere to sit but it's a great spot to grab your food and take it home. There's lots of sauce and topping options as well. We'll definitely be coming back!
