My work hosted an event and had them provide lunch. We chose to try birria ramen (I was intrigued so had to try), birria tacos and quesadilla with asada. The birria ramen was piping hot which I liked. It did take me awhile to get to my seat so the noodles were soggier than I would have liked but I just personally prefer more Al dente noodles but think the texture would be fine for other people. A unique concept. The soup was a tad salty for me but I still love this fusion idea. The birria tacos were my favorite especially with the dipping sauce that came with it. The quesadilla was good but I liked it with the green salsa. read more

Saw this food truck at the Monrovia Farmers market on Friday. I only wanted two tacos but apparently the minimum was 5 tacos so I ended up getting 5 for $16. They don't list the prices on the truck (or at least I couldn't find it) and $3 a taco seemed a bit steep. In the end tacos tasted okay, nothing spectacular but not bad. read more

Tried Birrieria El Patron and it did not disappoint! I had the Birria Ramen and the combo plate both were packed with flavor and seriously delicious. The ramen had a rich, savory broth with super tender birria, and the tacos from the combo plate were perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of crisp. Easily one of the best food trucks in Covina for birria. The service was quick, food came out hot, and you can tell they care about quality. Definitely coming back to try more read more

I found this food truck on Yelp as usual when I look for new places! The comments were encouraging! Since my family loves birria, I decided to try their birria tacos first! And of course the consommé! Honestly this is one of the best birria tacos I have ever tried. I am planning to try the rest of their menu. Great place, a flavorful taste of birria and consommé in addition to their good price. read more

Birrieria El Patron - Birria tacos with consommé....delicious!!! - Tacos Near Me

While driving along Arrow Hwy, we decided to grab some lunch and passed by this food truck. I have yet to try birria yet, so the time has finally come. I made a quick U-turn into a dirt parking lot. When I looked up their Instagram, I was surprised to see how popular this food truck is. We went ahead and ordered 4 birria tacos with cheese ($3.75 each), birria ramen ($12.50), and quesadilla ($10.50). While there's a menu, there is no pricing anymore --so a bit skeptical of that. Hope this helps you a little. If I had known the price, maybe we would've skipped out on the ramen (which really wasn't worth, btw). Once we got home to eat, we realized we had to order the consume separately, which was one of the main reasons we wanted to try birria. That was a bit disappointing. Luckily, we had the birria ramen, so we used that to dip our tacos into. The tacos were crunchy and didn't get all wet and soggy when dipped. It was also full of flavor for the perfect bite. As for the ramen and quesadilla, they were overwhelming. The ramen is all hype, I can tell you that. Instead, save that money and order more tacos! If you haven't tried birria yet, this spot is great! Highly recommend the birria tacos with consume, but pass on the ramen and quesadilla. read more

I would have said a 10/10 if it weren't for all the items being way too salty. My party of 6 needed a liter of water afterwards. We got the vampiros (qty of 3), pizza and ramen and it was all so tasty and delicious, fresh, hot and perfect textures just unfortunately way too salty for all of us and I can't recommend it or say I'd return to purchase again due to that. Also pretty pricey. $70 for the 3 orders read more

I ordered from Postmates a couple days ago. I tried their Birrieria Fries. In the app, the options to remove ingredients include "remove onions" and "remove cilantro." I removed the onions, but when my food was delivered, the order had ONLY fries, nacho cheese, and birrieria. The description (per their listing) says, "Mozzarella and nacho cheese, beans, and choice of meat." I don't understand why my fries didn't have mozzarella and beans then. I didn't remove them from the order, so I don't know what gives. Also, the portion was really small for $24 plus fees and tax! The birrieria tasted good, but that's the only compliment I can give this truck. I was absolutely disappointed and frustrated! read more

How has there not been a Yelp page for this place?? This food truck serves birria and it is delicious and very affordable! I originally discovered this place on Instragram. The pictures and videos looked amazing and I knew I had to try them!! However, originally their locations were kind of far from me as it was in LA area. Later they came to this Glendora/Covina location and I knew I had to try it!! Being a food truck, the food here is for sure NOT overpriced at all!! This food truck also beats many brick and motor birria places I have tried as well. Tacos dorados, which are my favorite items here are only $3 each for a crispy cheese and birria filled taco! They have the ones without cheese for only $2. Consume for your dipping pleasure is only $3 a cup as well. They also have quesadillas and some other items. I will take a picture of the menu next time. The menu is small, but everything on it is affordable. Canned soda here is also only $1 a can. Unfortunately, some items such as birria curly fries are only at their other locations. I have tried several birria taco places down here in southern cali and this place is for sure my favorite. The birria tacos dorados are super crispy, juicy, and tasty. If I am feeling for soupy, I will order the consume to dip with it. Consume is also tasty and filled with meat in it also. I have been to some places where the consume is JUST the soup with no meat and have costs more per cup also. This place it is $3 for an 8 ounce cup, which when you are dipping is more than enough soup. As far as parking. It is a food truck and it is located right on Arrow Highway. It is parked next to a dirt area, so if the street parking is full, you can always pull into the dirt lot. It does get busy here, but the food comes out in a timely manner. The workers have always been friendly to me. Most recently, the food truck says cash only, so have some cash on hand!! I will for sure be coming back here to get my birria taco fix again!! read more

First time ordering from this taco truck. I ordered 5 birria tacos for 16.42. I waited over 30 minutes for my order. I was really hoping to love these tacos so didn't mind the wait. As soon as I saw the tacos my appetite went away. The meat wasn't even dark red, it was more on the orange side. These tacos were the worst birria tacos I've ever had. Couldn't even finish 1. It was mostly fat. read more

Yum!! I love Birria and Ramen so when I saw their birria ramen I was so happy! I came by on a Wednesday evening/dinner time and there was no line whatsoever--yay me! This place deserves all the hype and more. I got their birria ramen and mulitas and both were incredible. I would recommend checking their Instagram for updated and more precise info of their hours/deals! read more

Soooooooooo Good!!! This is a taco truck you do not want to pass up! The best birria tacos I've had.

The food is delicious here. My girlfriend had the Birria tacos and I had the burrito which where both great. The reason I am making this review is because I mistakenly sent money to them, and they were happy to help me out and return it. There customer service is great! I explained to them what happened and they happily returned my money. Even though I was embarrassed of my mistake they made sure to take care of me. Thank you! read more

Really enjoyed the birria combo plate. So wanting to come back with my family to try other good wholesome food. I liked the food a lot. Thank you guys for being really nice!!! read more

Searching for a Birria Ramen and found this at Yelp. First of all other helpers are right when they said that the ramen is salty, it was actually really salty!! I already added 8oz of hot water to it but still not enough. So this is a warning to anyone who wants to try it. Next, we ordered birria burrito but given an asada instead. I mean you wouldn't k ow it till you open it at home right? They put lots of meat thought and we thought they did not put rice or beans but turned out all the meat is on the other half and a few meat, rice and the rest is on the other end so I don't know you should have one bite on each side to get them both in your mouth lol. Lastly, it would be helpful if you put your price on the menu so you would have to be asked by the customer and customer won't be wondering or even shocked by the price correct? read more

Food is decent and can't really complain about it. Service is quick for it being a food truck and you can serve your own salsa but the price is too high which makes it not worth it. Tacos are $3! I spent $40 on 12 tacos; with that money I could take my girl to a sit down restaurant. read more

Worst Birria ever and way overpriced. Barely served any birria on my tacos and burrito. I would recommend going to el tijuanese instead of this place. read more

Bombbbbbbb food! Everything is good, quesabirria tacos are my fave. I've tried many spots but this spot gets it allll the way right. Wish the hours were later and prices a little less but overall, love this truck. read more

Birria trucks and little pop-ups are everywhere nowadays but this one I have to say is spot on with flavor and quality ingredients. All the salsas are on point which makes a huge difference. They have a great food menu. I am not one for Birria Ramen but I tried it for the first time here because the picture looks so good. read more

The hubby and I found this lovely gem close to home. And I must say they Birria is delicious. We've tried almost everything on the menu, their ramen Birria was a bit much for me. Too many spices and salt. But aside from that every thing was very tasty. I'm sad that their seafood restaurant is so damn far. Totally recommend it. read more

On a cold night in December, you gotta do the RAMEN. Ladled to order from the massive pot of birria gold, you can't go wrong. The soup and meat were on point. Recalling childhood memories of birtia parties of my youth. The Ramen idea is genious! Nothing to hold and drop, it's a perfect delivery system if you are craving a warm Nexucan hug of soup and beef. The condiments are perfect. Beware the red sauce, HOT!!! They close at 7. I need this at midnight lol. read more

OMG! What can I say, the food was delicious. My sons devoured their tacos. I had the Birria Ramen and it hit every flavor. Oh those pickled onions, WOW! Not only do they serve great food, but I seen a heart warming moment that will make go back often. A man down on his luck was standing near the food truck, not bugging not begging, just minding his own. Slowly the man got near the pick up window and asked for some food. Without hesitation or making a face, the employees gave the man a plate of tacos and a can of soda. Humanity is not dead, I just witnessed it. Birria El Patron will always have me and my family as customers. read more

My boyfriend detailed their sea food and birria food truck and he use to find dead cockroaches, over filled grease traps, and oil that were reused more than more than two days. Food handling was very insanitary. He seen guys drop meat rinse it off and put it back on the cutting board. I would not recommend eating here. read more

Wifey brought home some tacos to try along with the biria tacos. Complete garbage, nasty food from this truck.

I'm obsessed with Birria. I can't get enough of it but it low key expensive. 4 Birria it already 18$ that pricy for taco. I know you it slow cook and more work than regular tacos but can't blame the owner with these inflation prices. We all gonna make money somehow. I'm gonna try their pizza Birria next. Their Birria taco is good and they open late which is good. read more

I can not express how good this Birria is. Its the best I have ever had hands down. The service was amazing they really hooked it up. The location that I went to. Was in Pasadena on the corner of Woodbury and Fairoaks. Omg you won't regret it. You are truly tasting a piece of heaven. Its season and cooked to perfection. read more

Birria is very good. The style is very finely shredded and juicy (in my native Durango we call this style "barbacoa"). Definitely thumbs up. Note: The address on google maps takes you to the a wrong location. The correct location is 649 W. Arrow Highway, Glendora, CA. read more

This food truck is way to over priced for their unflavored food, I've had it a few times seeing if I had bad luck but i paid at least $20 for a meal, a few days ago I had a burrito from costing my $18! and the beans were NOT fully cooked and were hard and the meat was very bland and all i tasted was the tortilla. Overall this truck is not worth it! read more

Just tried this place and I won't be back ... they have a photo showing 4 tacos for " taco Tuesday " then the guy says ohh it's only 3 tacos for taco Tuesday ... I didn't really converse with him since I realized his English is not great ... anyway I also ordered 1 quesadilla ... so total was $18.50 he said then he gives me $2.50 back ... when I ordered he was thinking how much to charge me it seemed ... looks like they accept cash,Zelle and Venmo ... so besides that the food was not that great ... super super greasy ... that the tortilla on my quesadilla was soaked ... meat didn't really have much flavor ... the green sauce is pretty good ... lots of other taco spots to try ... read more

Long hard day at work and i decided to finally try this place by the house since its an eyesore... A plate of birria and 2 tacos was 22$... i finally get home after 3 hours of traffic and i sit down to eat and bleh...... i think they dumped 50lbs of salt into the birria pot.... This is why i never eat out mexican.. Noone compares to mom... Salty af, flavor was whack and overpriced.. read more

I seen this truck a few time so I finally decided to stop by & check it out I ordered 5 tacos de birria $23.75 & I asked how much is each taco the lady said 3.75 so I asked how is it for 4 tacos she replied $16.75 I said no thank I'll go some where else. Clearly the lady was over charging me & I can't imagine paying $4 per taco at a lunch truck... I just went across the street to In n out for a double double $11.41 ( soda & fries ) read more

Ok so I have been wanting to try this trending way of eating tacos... so my family and I decided today was the day. We found this place here on Yelp and what a great find! Delish to say the least. People are friendly and it's clean. Very tasty and not greasy! We are Mexican and we def appreciated great tacos with the consume sauce that is a must! We also had the ramin and pizza - absolutely recommend it. Didn't take pics, sorry! read more

This place was good but I feel like the hype was too much for what it actually was. I ordered birria tacos expecting to have the birria sopa on the side like normal birria places and nothing. I guess you have to order that as well. Which kinda sucks, because then you're spending more money! The tacos were good but not as flavorful as expected. We got a few other things but nothing too spectacular. I will maybe give this place one more try. read more

I came here for 2 burritos ($10 each), 2 tacos ($2 each) and 1 consomé ($3 each)... please tell me how the lady tried charging me over $50? That does NOT add up. It comes out to $27 before tax.. after should be around $30. That's over $20 extra she was trying to charge me!!!! I don't mind paying but at the same time, that doesn't add up at all. First and last time I come here read more
