Tacos y Birria La Unica

About

Stationed on East Olympic Boulevard in the heart of Boyle Heights, Tacos y Birria La Unica has become a staple for those seeking authentic Mexican street food in Los Angeles. Founded in 2017 by siblings Jamie and Yasmani Mendoza, the truck draws on family recipes passed down through generations. The operation is widely recognized for its commitment to traditional flavors, earning a strong 4.7-star rating from over a thousand diners who frequently gather at this bustling corner to enjoy their signature offerings. The menu centers on their celebrated birria de chivo, a tender, slow-braised goat dish that serves as the foundation for their popular quesatacos. These tacos feature a blistered, griddled corn tortilla shell filled with melted cheese and savory meat, often paired with a side of flavorful consommé for dipping. While the truck is best known for its goat birria, the menu also includes a variety of other options, such as carne asada and chicken, alongside unique items like birria ramen and nachos. With a team known for their friendly and efficient service, Tacos y Birria La Unica provides a quintessential LA food truck experience, complete with outdoor seating for those looking to enjoy their meal on-site.
