This little hidden gem is the spot for tacos de birria. It’s located on union ave where the old el efectivo use to be. The parking is limited to about 8 cars tops so parking could be a hassle if it was the busy time of day. Luckily for us we came around 6:30pm on a Thursday so it wasn’t too bad. You walk up to the window and place the order. The menu is vast and they have a lot of options. Even on weekends they actually sell ribs and BBQ chicken. The sitting area is a make shift carport looking area. It’s neither indoor or outdoor. The heat wasn’t too bad in there but I’m sure in the mid of summer it would not be a good experience. We decided to go with the tacos dorados de birria(de res). I also opted to get a few tacos of the meats they had. One was asada, pastor,tripas and lengua. The birria tacos were the star here. They were greasy and crunchy. Filled with juicy tender meat and cheese. If you haven’t had a birria taco this is the place to come. The regular tacos were nothing special. They come out plain and you add your toppings. But the meats were dry and the tortillas were unimpressive. If you want a birria experience this is the place the other tacos I’d stay away from there is other places for that.

UNOS TACOS Y BIRRIA – Menu with Prices – 2929 N 75th Ave STE #31, Phoenix

Came here twice because they had Birria de Chivo on their menu and on the grand opening weekend, we got there too late so they sold out. Held off on my review because I had to try it before posting. Came back for rd. 2 and found out they took it off the menu… so disappointed. Service and cleanliness of when I went was good, I have no complaints. I’ve tried all their tacos and for the most part everything is under seasoned. Tortillas are really good and flavor full but I can’t say the say about the meats. I didn’t like their al pastor at all, their marinade just doesn’t provide the flavors. Carne asada tacos were the better options, but it’s not where I would go for that as it’s still under par. The Birria taco was pretty good the first time. Had to use some salt but the consommé and the aromas really stuck to the Birria making it juicy deliciousness. Second time around it was over cooked and the meat was dried. Their queso tacos did seem to have a better hit on the taste palette. It’s more unique to their location but it still doesn’t hit the spot for me. Salsas had a unique taste but once again, under seasoned. Tacos are loaded to the max so they do match their price point.

El Novillo taco truck Parking Lot – Menu with Prices – Fruitvale Ave & E 10th St, Oakland

Review is of the tacos. Came here cos tacos Sinaloa was closed. Tried chicharron, tripas and lengua tacos. They come with salsa radish and scallions but I’m not sure how to eat the scallion (it’s not chopped) I’ll have to ask around or google. Tacos were well filled with meat. Chicharron was on the dry side here, so for me my favorite is still la penca’s chicharron tacos. The lengua here was excellent! My favorite. Tripas was also decent too but not the best one I’ve had. All in all a good experience. If you say for here your tacos will come on a plate covered in foil. To go they will be wrapped in foil and put in a bag. Boyfriend got al pastor burrito and he loved it. A decent spot, $2 per taco and was open on Sunday around 11 am.

Taqueira La Coyota – Menu with Prices – 6021 N Claiborne Ave, New Orleans

The best taco truck! Right in front of Winn Dixie on Chef Hwy. I know they have a few other la coyotas around the city and they are just as good. They just upped a few of the prices, but I’m not complaining bc everything is made to order and always delicious. The red sauce is my favorite! Most of the time it’s super spicy and I drench it on everything. The green sauce is more mild and good too. Gorditas – I always get the beef and they are always super juicy. Cheese, meat, onions, cilantro inside of a fried corn tortilla. The red and green sauces mixed together with some lime make it even better. Tacos – tortillas are corn. The meat you choose is usually cooked with onions and topped with cilantro. They’re so simple, so easy to eat, and you’ll always want more. I’ve tried all the meats and the beef and lengua are my favorite. Quesadilla – can’t go wrong with a beef or lengua quesadilla. Beef and Lengua – always super flavorful, juicy, yum as you can tell from above. Lol. Lengua is beef tongue, btw. Really depends on your preference Al pastor – I’ve tried this meat a few times and sometimes it’s a bit too salty.

El Taco express #1 10th St – Menu with Prices – 4912 NW 10th St, Oklahoma City

You have to be pretty bold to park your taco truck just down the street from the iconic and outstanding Taqueria Sanchez. I’ve driven past several times, but decided today that it was time to stop by. I’m so glad I did. El Taco Express offers the standard taqueria truck fare: street tacos, burritos, tortas, etc. Most tacos are $0.99, with lengua and tripa tacking on another $0.50. They have some soft drinks, water and several varieties of Jarritos. I didn’t see any mention of horchata or aqua frescos. Per my typical first visit, I ordered carnitas, barbacoa and lengua tacos. All of the meats were tender and juicy. The carnitas had a good flavor, as did the barbacoa. I added a little green sauce to the pork, and red sauce to the beef tacos. Both were better than most, and within reach of the best. And while I’m thinking of it, the pickled carrot was nicely flavored. I don’t know what you do to make one pickled carrot better than others, but they need to keep doing what they’re doing. What really stood out was the lengua. It was perfect, and as much as I love the lengua at Taqueria Sanchez and Taqueria El Dolar, this edges them both. The texture and taste is amazing, and is well worth the extra change. So please give this place a try. I can’t imagine you would leave disappointed.

Tacos Del Chino – Menu with Prices – 2431 N Tustin Ave, Santa Ana

Yup, this place is delicious! My friends and I were craving some tacos after our fellowship meeting, and while we were looking up some late night restaurants, Tacos Del Chino popped up. This place had the best ratings of all the ones open when I was searching, so we thought why not. Thank GOODNESS we found this place.. they have all sorts of meats like cabeza, lengua, buche, and more, but I’ll settle with my fav, asada ? The asada was delicious, and they were some of the best tacos I’ve had in a while. Oh, and beware, the salsa is SPICY. My mouth was burning until the next morning, and would have burned for longer if I didn’t order the horchata (super delicious btw) to wash it all down. Overall, really great place to try. $1.65/taco for their “common” meats (like asada), and $2 for their “specialty” meats (I think lengua falls under this category). The restaurant is clean, well-maintained, and even the workers were tidying up the sauce/condiments bar frequently.

Taqueria Dona Monse – Menu with Prices – 2800 Bee Ridge Rd, Sarasota

Have you noticed this little red wagon in the parking lot of the Shell station at 41 and 57th? I did and finally stopped. Always start with the tacos and then go back for the other things. I had a couple of chorizo tacos and a lengua. The chorizo was nothing special. Probably just a grocery store variety. The onions were good but not much cilantro but some decent tomatoes. But the Lengua gets them an extra star. Tender and very tasty. Good tortillas as well. Have to go back and try some tamales and maybe a tortas. Very close to work so and easy quick lunch. Will definitely be back.

El Abajeño Tacos – Menu with Prices – 109 Atkinson St, Roseville

You don’t have to wait for the weekend to enjoy deliicous tacos near Denio’s Farmer’s Market in Roseville, as El Abajeño Tacos is open six days a week – closed Monday – and serves amazing tacos, at a very reasonable price. When it comes to placing your order, El Abajeño Tacos takes a very different approach than most Mexican restaurants. You make your selection from the menu, posted above the kitchen, and turn around to a gentleman who is setting near the soft drink cooler, who you pay, and in return, he’ll give you a number. He also answers the phone, as the restaurant does a brisk take-out business. The indoor dining room is super tiny, so most diners prefer to enjoy their meals outside, on the comfortable, covered patio in front of the entrance. You can enjoy your tacos and watch the activity of Atkinson Street, which can be quite lively on weekends. I went with “Tacos de Birria,” I absolutely LOVE birria, so I ordered three of them; I probably cold eat six! At $1.85 each, I can afford to order more than one taco! The tacos start with a single toasted, regular size corn tortilla. Your taco is topped with the meat of your choosing – my choice was birria, which is stewed goat meat – along with diced white onion and fresh cilantro. The tacos are very basic, but they’re amazingly delicious! Each taco comes with a small slice of fresh lime, just like in Mexico, so you can squeeze fresh lime juice on your taco to enhance the flavor. Muy sabroso! Birria has a reputation of being spicy, and it really isn’t, as it’s just plain flavorful. Like other Mexican restaurants, El Abajeño Tacos makes birria in a large pot, which results in a juicy, tender, flavorful cut of goat meat. In Mexico, birria is served as a stew, a main dish entree, or as a topping for tacos, such as I enjoyed today. The birria I enjoyed on my tacos was flavorful, not at all spicy, juicy, and delicious. If you love birria, you’ll love these tacos! The tacos are delicious, the outdoor dining is comfortable, the staff is friendly, and the price is right. When you’re in the mood for delicious tacos, pay a visit to El Abajeño Tacos, located on Atkinson Street, in Roseville.

Taqueria El Poblano – Menu with Prices – 652 Broadway, Chula Vista

Yahoo! Sí, the street tacos here are very good! Muy Bueno y Ricos. For the time being, this Taqueria Food Truck is only opened during evening hours. 6 pm till 2 am daily respectfully. I arrived opening on a Friday evening and ordered two al pastor & two beef birria double wrapped street tacos at $2.20 a piece. The beef birria tacos were great, but one has to be careful because the salsa they put on the meat packed some heat. The beef birria was very tasty and even had a very nice aromatic appeal. I loved that it was juicy and tender, and they double wrapped the tacos. The al pastor tacos were delicious. The pork meat was well marinated and they cooked it very well. I liked that it was a mix of crispy pieces and tender pieces of pork. This taco came with chopped cilantro, white onions, and creamy guacamole that’s traditional with these particular street tacos in Mexico. Great stuff indeed. There’s no seafood at this truck, just carne asada, chicken, beef birria, and pork, not that there’s anything wrong with that. There’s a tent with table available. They have salsa available at the tables, and radishes, limes, and cucumbers at the truck. Service was friendly and Claudia was super helpful. I like that they bring the food to you at the tables.

Palapas Tacos – Menu with Prices – 133 W Chapman Ave #101, Fullerton

Easily going to become our go-to Taco Tuesday spot, with amazing meats, fresh toppings, and 1.50 tacos. Their carnitas taco will become your best friend, confidant, and comforter. A crunchy layer on the outside gave way to lots of flavor and tenderness on the inside (kind of like me). The lengua taco is all tenderness and no flavor. The birria taco is amazingly spice flavoring, but it comes as either lamb or goat which are distinctively flavored meats on their own. Know yourself before committing to it. I ordered the three taco plate, which comes with rice and beans. I was building a rice and beans layer for a wine tasting late and was pleasantly surprised to find the rice/beans had plenty of flavors very enjoyable to eat on their own. Ambience was perfect for lunch or dinner, with mutes street sounds and nearby heaters in case it got chilly. My partner and I could hear each other just fine and still felt our conversation wouldn’t be overheard. Other categories? Well, their tortillas are corn (nice and authentic) and hold up well — not falling apart in your second but. Cilantro is everywhere (including in the guacamole, which I love). If cilantro is not your thing, make sure to ask to leave it off.

ED Fernandez Restaurant & Catering (Birria de Res) – Menu with Prices – 2265 Flower Ave, San Diego

“Ed Fernandez,” a Mexican restaurant a few miles from the Tijuana border in South San Diego is run by the three brothers Fernandez: manager Jorge, maître d’ Miguel, and chef Carlos. The trio are originally from Mexico City, and lived in Tijuana before opening this enterprise in 2006. This was initially a catering business before becoming one of the first restaurants in San Diego to specialize in birria de res (beef birria), a cow-oriented norteño version of Jalisco’s goat birria popular in Tijuana, and the “new sexy” in SoCal, challenging avocado toast and hot chicken. On their first day as a birrieria, the Fernandez brothers made just over $300. On day 2, they eclipsed $700 due to repeat business and word-of-mouth praise rapidly spread by their initial wave of well-fed customers. Although most San Diegans north of Chula Vista have not heard of “Ed Fernandez,” it’s really not much of a secret anymore, as it is absolutely jam-packed during peak hours. They run shuttle service to a parking lot to handle overflow when their parking lot fills up with cars and a horde of customers willing to stand around for a while for a table so they can taste San Diego’s best beef birria. Indeed, it wasn’t Yelp or Eater or the newspaper that initially led me here — it was an Uber driver who drove me to a different birrieria one morning, but couldn’t stop talking about how good the birria was at “this place in an alley off of Exit 4.” He described luscious, tender, juicy birria — “the best [he] had ever had,” he claimed to get from this nameless restaurant. I would later learn that the name is a tribute to Eduardo “Ed” Fernandez, a fourth Fernandez brother who sadly passed away young. The house’s “Birria de Res” is everything the Uber driver promised. It is made with 100% beef chuck from corn-fed, hormone-free cattle sourced from Brandt Beef in nearby Imperial Valley. You can optionally ask for your birria with nervio (soft, melt-in-your-mouth beef tendon). On Fridays, “Ed Fernandez” also offers lengua (beef tongue), which you can order in the birria as well. On weekends, “Menudo” is served, which you can enhance with nervio or pata (pig’s foot). Yes, I love the birria here, but I will almost always instead order the menudo on Saturdays. Either bowl of stew I will lap up like a hungry dog, but menudo also helps bring me back to life weekend mornings. The epazote-kissed red broth is rich from the bones and cartilage in the pig trotter, and the meat itself is clean-tasting, avoiding any offal-like insinuation. Traditional condiments are available in addition to uncommon garnishes such as a fresh sprig of mint, or a fresh green chile that the Fernandez brothers grow in their garden. When I asked Miguel what kind of chile it was, all I could get is “it’s green.” Beware of chiles with no names! After grinding it into my menudo with my fingers, I accidentally inhaled one of its seeds into my left nostril and sat in the restaurant with sweat and tears pouring down my face for 10 minutes, my nose running like a faucet. And then I ate the rest of it. All of the tacos served here include one or more of the various aforementioned meats: birria, birria tatemada, nervio, lengua, and even the pancita they use in their menudo. Each taco is excellent, but my favorite is the “Quesataco Extremo con Nervio,” which is SoCal’s top birria taco, a combination of a handmade corn tortilla, gooey cheese, juicy beef with crispy edges, and sinfully soft tendon. The delicious drops of beef juice that fall off the tortilla when you pick this baby up are worth licking off of the plate. Fernandez’s “Chupacabra” is their version of a vampiro. It is similar to their birria quesataco, but with grilled onions and roasted jalapeños on a tortilla that is griddled until it is sturdy. The robust b

Tacos EL Patron Menu with Prices 516 N State College Blvd, Anaheim

A GREAT NEW SPOT IN ORANGE COUNTY FOR DELICIOUS RED TACOS! This newcomer has quickly established itself as favorite destination in Anaheim for tacos de birria. Moreover, the birria is prepared with your choice of beef (res) or young goat (chivo). Both are excellent here, very tender and delicious. Birria is a spicy Mexican stew traditionally made with the meat of a young goat but more commonly prepared with beef in Tijuana and here in the U.S. The meat is marinated with adobo spices. Slow-cooked tomatoes, roasted chiles and dried herbs gives the broth its zest and crimson red color. The chivo meat here had none of the gaminess often associated with goat meat, although I found some of the tiny bones in it to be a minor nuisance. The hearty homemade consommé dipped corn tortilla shell and savory consommé really makes the dish special. SIGNATURE DISH/ORDER: Tacos de Birria Enchilados, $9.55 for 3 and consommé is a must-try in either the beef or goat meat. Tacos de birria can be ordered individually but then you do not get the deep red, zesty consommé to sip on and dip your taco into. All the other meat filling choices – including asada (beef steak), pastor (marinated pork), cabeza (beef head), lengua (beef tongue), pollo (chicken), tripas (intestines), buche (pork stomach lining) and chorizo (sausage) – are mouth-wateringly delicious options as well. They are all well seasoned, succulent, good-sized and authentically prepared. Priced from $1.69 to $1.89, which is an exceptional deal for a tasty, hearty taco. They even serve potato tacos, which are a delicious choice for non-meat eaters or who desire a lighter dish. Tortas, burritos, breakfast burritos, quesadillas, chilaquiles, omelettes, nachos, loaded fries, flautas, mulitas and birria plate complete their comprehensive menu. The restaurant’s drippy, consommé-stained tacos de birria is definitely still the one must-try (and, if not, their most captivating) dish. The tortillas are dipped in the dark red broth, tossed onto the grill until it gets crispy, then stuffed with juicy, shredded meat and then splashed with more consommé. Hence the street name “red tacos.” Tacos El Patron makes red tacos as good as any venerable LA location I have tried, sans the melted cheese. Their horchata and variety of delicious, refreshing aqua frescas and michelaguas are made fresh throughout the day. Good salsa rojas and salsa verde. The salsa bar is clean and replenished frequently. My recommended choice for red tacos in Anaheim. Also a strong contender for some of the best birria you can find anywhere in Orange County.

Taqueria el azteca – Menu with Prices – 123 E Jamestown St, Stockton

2nd Update: they’re cash only now . Prices didn’t seem to go down with this inconvenience. That’s a deduction for me. Update: These tacos were AMAZING. Girl, let me tell you the struggle of getting these tacos. I came today to try the birria tacos at 2pm only to learn they sold out again! But the staff saw how much I wanted to try them that they promised to call me an hour or so later when they would have more birria. So, they call me at 3pm and tell me they have some more. Unfortunately it was raining so hard I decided to return an hour after the call. Only to learn they sold out again! Seeing my pain, they made sure I had some birria even though it would take another hour more and they’d call. Cool, I go on some errands and get their call. I go back only to be delayed 20 minutes because of flooded roads. DESPITE all these obstacles, these tacos are still WORTH IT. Even sitting in a container for 30 minutes, they were delicious. I will be coming back and telling everyone about this place. If you want these tacos either come early or call ahead. Support lo
