This is one of those lowkey spots for some good birria. I haven't ordered from their truck but I have ordered from the restaurant. The food is very delicious and satisfying. Make sure when you order your food to order a side of birria in a cup. That way you could dip the tacos into the stew. The place is small and could get crowded quickly. The wait time is never too long, it always depending on the amount of orders being taken. Although not perfect it's very well one my personal favorite spots to repeatedly return and eat. read more

I'm not the type of person to go places and quickly jot down the negative things but when I came here I literally just had to. When we got here we waited in line to order. The lady taking orders told us all to move against the wall with an ugly attitude. She rushed our order and didn't even say thank you. That's alright though. I don't really care about her. That is not why I am writing this review. The wait time was 40 mins. We went from subway, ordered food then back and our food was still not done. I managed to snap a couple of picture from the inside of the restaurant and what I captured was horrific. There was a stack of cups on the counters (as shown in the picture) which had, what it seemed like, dust on them. Once again, on the counter. While waiting, I peaked through an opening and I had seen a banana peel on the back floor, the floor was dirty. The boards where they were preparing the food was nasty and stained like they didn't ever wipe it down once in a while. The guy there had no gloves on while handing the food. He brought over the cups onto his station and unwrapped it (on the board with the dust on the wrapper). The cups STILL had a dark stain on them like??? I thought it was the wrapper on the cups that had the dust but I guess it was so dirty that it has transferred to the cups. Don't ask me how because I wouldn't be able to answer that question. They were just dirty. Anyway, the floor in the dinning room was dirty and so where the curtains. Clearly the curtains have never been cleaned. The trash can was overflowing. I am a person who loves to eat, especially meat. I am always down to try different things but my experience here said it all before I even took a bit of the birria tacos. I give this place a 1 star. read more

See all

The food is delicious just the wait it's a lil to long came here for lunch took over 25 minutes to get my food.

Birrieria Gonzalez lunch truck on Atlantic and Rose at the cashier with all the portraits on her hands has such an attitude the way she talk to the costumers. read more

I was craving birria and was in the LA area so I decided to try out this spot. The food was definitely as they say. Very GOOD!!! A ton of flavor and just great taste overall. Plus I loved that they load the tacos with meat!! I would give this place a 5 star if they had things a little more tidy. I feel for it being a newer spot it should be super clean. If they kept up a little more with their cleaning, it would be perfect!! Cash or card wasn't an issue for me. People complaining about that have to realize they just always have to be prepared. read more

Birrieria Gonzalez - Mexican Near Me - Compton, California

For the love of God, hire another cook. The service is slow as fuck been waiting for over 30 minutes. First time trying to I hope it's worth the wait, if not see ya! read more

First of all they shortened me out one hard taco $2.50, and prior to me getting my order they don't check if the order is correct some guy order was handed to someone else. the wait is about 30 mins . The meat is all dried when u ask for tacos but the consomé is really good. Over all if I would had gotten my order right I would had given 3 stars cuz the tacos are lacking flavor compared to the Gonzalez Birrieria in Whittier . read more

Place is great morning noon and night. It does get busy on weekend mornings mostly but it's worth the wait. Tacos dorados are a must. Quesatacos are a second choice. Consome is great on a chilly morning or after a night of hitting the party bottles a little too hard. Prices are good for great food. Customer service is good. Place is clean. A go to for me when I can't decide what I want, which is often. read more

They always get the order wrong sucks in service not recommended foods ok but like I said check your order got burned.....

Birria its ok, costumer service it's really bad, food takes long time. And they even take their time to take your order.

If you're hungry do not come here, took them an hour to give me my order which only had 3 tacos, and it wasn't crowded with people! But the employees all they did was talk and not get orders done. read more

First of all, the lady at the register needs some proper training, she's just plain rude! She has no need to be there if she hates her job that much honestly. I had to repeat my order twice because she just couldn't pay me any mind. Second, they can't even properly follow your order so what's the point of even taking it in the first place? I ask for no veggies, they put veggies. I ask for no ice on both my drinks, and they completely disregard my request. Furthermore, after I politely brought it to the attention of the young lady while she was serving me that she had made the mistake, she still had the audacity to ask me for my receipt, as if I had any reason to lie about purchasing two drinks. Just very rude overall. I would only recommend this place to anyone who likes being treated like utterly crap. There's a better place about eight minutes away from this site with far better portions, taste and better customer service! Don't give these people your hard-earned money. read more

This has always been my favorite spot for birria. I would recommend it to anyone. Then last night i went right before closing time i walked in there at 9:57 which in many restaurants they would have not attended you but Cristian and Sasha took care of me no matter the time. There customer service is on point if youre respectful with them because jve seen alot of the people writing these bad reviews have a attitude against them but remember if you give respect youll receive respect in return now if you go in there with the worst attitude best believe youll get it in return anyways shout out to Cristian and Sasha always making sure there customers get taken care of. read more

The consomé is delicious!!! Best birria I've had besides my family's! Definitely recommend

Food is great but the wait time is unbearable, you May as well order your food, go home, wash clothes, walk your dog, water your lawn, have sex THEN go wait in line read more

Food is good...BUT I've been waiting 41min for my food! This isn't the first time either...previous two visits were 30min+. Seriously, they only sell one type of meat...I don't get it. Third strike and you're out for me. Tijuana-style birria is everywhere now. read more

Don't go here, food is nasty as shit. You're better off going to the taco trucks on Atlantic cuz they're food is way fucking better than this nasty shit I got today. Had to spit my food out and went to thee restroom to throw up. Also shit on their menus isn't worth the price. You wanna eat shit then go find some in the dumpster for free read more

The Tacos are GREAT. We had the queso taco, Dorado tacos, soft tacos, 1 burrito, consume, a side of rice and a side if beans. The Burrito would have been Great but due to the Beans not having any Seasoning it Killed the Flavor of the Burrito. It took 35 minutes to get our food. Customers that came in after us got their food before we received ours. Had they seasoned the beans and properly prepared orders would have given them 5 stars. Would I go back YES. DO I RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY, YES read more

Almost an hour wait for a to-go order! That is ridiculous!!! What makes it worse is that the people prepping the food don't seem to be in a hurry to get orders out. They need to get proper restaurant training because it's unacceptable to keep your customers waiting for their food longer than 30 minutes; especially for take out. Placed my order at 2:14pm and walked out at 3:05pm. Please train your employees. read more

I love this place! The food is great, the customer service is on point, the place is small but it gets busy! And have I mentioned how delicious their food is! Defiantly recommend read more

Rating only on customer service... they are so damn slow! You'd think the long line wrapping outside the door would be motivation to step it up. No! They even sit there and have personal conversations. Cashier takes an order , helps with prepping food orders then comes back to the next customer in line 10-15 mins later. It's ridiculous!!!! Yes the food is good. But not worth this damn wait!!!! It's their lack of urgency with their customers for me read more

Google took me to the wrong address it had me driving all around Compton! But I finally found the place! And this shit is bomb it was worth the detour I took of Compton and all the trucks I stopped out lookin crazy asking for birria tacos.. my fat ass will be back! read more

Not clean place. Cups on counter hide the cooks. Food too plain taste. Hard tacos recalentados. I do not recommend this place. Plus, counter lady was not nice. Save your time and money... go somewhere else. read more

Was hesitant at first because of mixed reviews but my order was delicious definitely ordering more! And you're close to me!

Three tacos and a consume took more than one whole hour Absolutely unacceptable. Food was ok but the wait killed them experience. Never return. read more

Food is good but the wait time for minimal orders is horrible...Definitely need to hire faster workers...30 minutes for 2 tacos and Consomé, WTF read more

Came here on a weekday morning and they assisted me fast and tacos dorados were the best not to forget the consome really good

First off let me say the food is good, no problem there. The customer service and wait on the other hand is absolutely horrible. When I came in the restaurant was full and not a single person had food, that should have told me something from the start, but I waited anyway. First the line just to order took about 25 minutes, and that was with only 5 people in front of me, the cashier kept walking away to do other things that didn't include cook or give people their food, just walking away for seemingly no reason or to look at her phone. Then it took another 20 minutes to get my food. I could understand if this was something that needed to be cooked to order but the Birrieria is already cooked and sitting there, so it took all that time to just warm up some tortillas to make the tacos? Like I said, the food was good but not worth the wait. read more

The best birria I've had in California, Great taste and very good. I'm from Guadalajara Jalisco and I love birria specially that good and spicy.. I will defenetly recommend it. read more

Delicious! I recommend this place all day everyday! Small place but clean. Attentive employees. Will definitely come back.

The workers here have let their Instagram "rock star " status get in their heads. The cashier's do not care at all for customer service much less getting the orders out in a timely fashion. The lady in front of us made a to-go order and waited 20+ minutes for two tacos! Unbelievable! . We waited around the same time for 2 consomme. Ridiculous! read more

This is my to go place if I'm craving birria tacos, the tacos duros de birria are the best here and so is their consome. The only thing I don't like is their super slow service sometimes I can be in their waiting up to 40mins to get my food and the other thing that I don't like is that their location is super small there's is hardly any space to wait for your order during the weekend. read more

1st time trying out the Birria at this location and it's delicious recommendation had the tacos dorados..

It was my First time trying Birria Gonzalez and the Birria tacos are so good. I'm buying tacos for the when family next time I order. Highly recommend and highly tasty. The service was awesome. read more

I'm local to this location I was really happy to see Birrieria Gonzalez open a location close to me I would actually do the drive the there truck on maple and adams. When this place started I would had given them a 5 start they were on it! I been going there since they open there business but the last 2 months there customer service has gone down! I went out there this past Saturday it took them over 30 min for me to get my food. The toppings cart was empty. The lemons look old and nasty. No salsa, no rábanos. The place was all trashy. And the tacos were all soggy. I love there tacos but honestly they need to get there act together or they will start loosing lots of customers. read more

Sought this place out as a closer alternative to my preferred birria spot. I ordered a vampiro and 2 quesotacos. The birria is good..not the best I've had but I wouldn't pass it up if offered to me. I was surprised that my vampiro was more like a mulita(maybe it was one ). It wasn't opened faced. There were double tortillas. My quesotacos had no cheese at all so I'm thinking I was given regular tacos. They were good but I disappointed about the lack of cheese and of course because I paid extra for it. I'm not totally put off by them...I will give it another try. read more

This location specifically is the worst! They take forever to give my order and i only ordered a cup of consome and side of rice! Took about 30 mins!!! The workers look miserable and cant even smile ! Music is waaay too loud here ive been to their commerce location and its way better than this maybe they should hire better workers read more

The birria is so delicious!! So juicy and flavorful.. any item is great. You won't be disappointed.

Best birria in town :) so clean and enjoyable the staff is amazing!! The quesabirrrias are the best!

BOMB CHEESE TACOS .. Burritos killer rice and beans good great amount of beef . Quesadilla huge not shy at all like some of the other Birrieria spots out there . Great amount of meat in the consume makes you want to come back for more most definitely . Only if there was another star based off beverage I'd leave one star for the horchata tasted gross when I let the lady know it was nasty she stated she didn't bother to check it when she came in to open .hope that's the only thing that sits and gets reused . read more
