    Standing in line

    Stopped by for lunch today, i was worried since i didn't see the yellow truck but I learned it was replaced by a red truck! The truck is still in the same place, in the Pearlridge shopping center parking lot along Kamehameha highway where the old sears and zippys used to be. I wanted to update my review from 3 years ago to say that the birria tacos here are still 5 star! I would also like to mention that the price only went up $1 since my review 3 years ago which is great considering how prices are climbing. $13 for my 3 pack of queso birria tacos. The meat was plentiful and the broth was really tasty. Stop by and you won't be disappointed!

    Bring cash. They charge a lot to use cards here. Woman at the register wasn't that friendly but I'm from Cali so it's whatever. As long as the food is good - she is just taking my order and handing me food. Also!! It's not located inside the mall. It's WAY down toward the edge of the 99. Near where it was the old sears building is what I have been told by my local friends. Across the street you can see the T mobile and AT&T stores. It's just a little food truck and we are thankful we finally found the correct location. The tacos are delicious. They are smaller street sized tacos but are stuffed with meat. They have the perfect amount of cheese, onions and cilantro. We ordered the Mexican roulette and had so much fun. Then we found the firecracker and wowza. The flavor was so good but the heat burnt off all my taste buds. We all tried it. It's hot and not an enjoyable one. I could drink the consume. In fact I added it to a pack of saimin noodles with some lime juice. So technically... just do it. I'm sure their ramen here is also delicious but I just want noodles and broth no meat. Our next box we picked up we skipped the hiding hell fire and opted for a regular box. It's a crowd pleaser at my house.

    I got the 12 pack as well as thesis Fresca and my gf got horchata. Upon arriving, they had a pretty good line but that line moved quick. I place my order and they give you a beeper. Be ready to wait in the sun because it is a food truck. They have tables where some are in shade while others aren't. Even if you can't get a table, we did not wait very long. Maybe 10 minutes max after placing our order. The food was ok. I was expecting better but it was still good. The birria queso is not spicy at all so if you want spicy, you might want to try the hell fire. The drinks were ok. My gf and I both did not like the agua Fresca. It just tasted weird. The horchata was good in my opinion. My gf did not like the horchata but I did. They also have the option to add strawberry into it but I did not do that. If you're wanting to get full here then go for the 12 pack because I myself had to eat 6 to get full. I'm a 5'6" guy at 210lbs so took 6 tacos for me to feel full. Overall, i personally will be back but not anytime soon. I don't crave Mexican food often but I was wanting birria tacos and this hit the spot so I should be good for a while. Oh and I would recommend eating it right at the pearlridge parking lot. My food got cold quick. I drove home to Ewa and the cheese was not melted anymore, tacos weren't as crispy and it just was not hot as when we were given the box. It didn't take long to get cold so eat right away or you could reheat it in a pan or oven.

    Delicious, the consommé so good! Fast friendly service. Missing one because I ate it.

    TLDR: 5/5 s!! if you haven't been here, give both their hellfire and queso (regular) tacos!! ~ Quick disclaimer: The photos below are of their old menu (they now have more options & is located on the right hand side of the ordering area) & truck (their truck is now red, closer to the Leonard's Malasadas truck) ~ La Birria is our FAVORITE place for Tacos!! If you live in the Aiea/Pearl Harbor area, this food truck is a MUST TRY! The first time we went, we got the 12 pack Birria Queso Tacos and a separate order of Hellfire Tacos. Second time, we got a 12 pack of the Hellfire Tacos & a Horchata! I would say that the better choice between the two if you were super hungry/could EAT, would be the 12 pack Birria Queso Tacos with a couple of the Hellfire Tacos. If you LOVE spicy food, I would say tackle the 12 Hellfire Tacos if you think you can handle it! My boyfriend and I are HUGE spicy food fans, but we couldn't finish all 12 (he finished 4, I finished 3) in one sitting--needless to say it was SPICY and La Birria was not messing around or kidding with that name. Regardless of which type of tacos you choose, I promise you won't go wrong with what you get!! The horchata was a great balance of milk/creaminess and cinnamon! I also love it because it has a different taste than other horchatas I've had--it's much lighter! ~ As described in the Quick Disclaimer portion, the truck has been renovated a bit along with their menu! I don't have all the changes memorized, BUT I do know that they also now have a Birria Taco Roulette pack where you get 11 Birria Queso Tacos & 1 hidden Hellfire Taco in the mix AND they have add-ons (Strawberry and Cold Brew) to their Horchata ~ The service here was awesome! The staff is so nice and they are SO SPEEDY! For our 12 pack Hell Fire Tacos only took about 3-5 minutes and when taking our order, they were so friendly & helpful! If you haven't been here, it's in the Old SEARS parking lot over at Pearlridge Shopping center right next to the Leonard's Malasadas truck! The worst part about this experience was honestly waiting in the heat/minimal shade in the area besides the few picnic tables provided under the trees, but IT'S WORTH IT, I PROMISE!! Go give La Birria a try! you won't regret it!

    If you can't find your batteries, get some tacos.

    Here's why you go to get tacos. I love tacos. I love food trucks. I love the beautiful people that feeds my soul with the love they put in their food. La Birria's tacos will do that and more. I was driving all over, looking to get those tiny watch batteries to fix my watch. Went to a Big chain store: nope. Local drug store: nope. So I left unsatisfied. Looking to fill the void, I said I want tacos. When she asked if I need anything else with my tacos I said, "Yeah, I need some watch batteries." Guess what she said? Yup, she said I gotcha, this morning, I was getting some propane from the hardware store and they had batteries next to the check out line! Tacos will solve your problems!

    10/10 would recommend! Food is prepared pretty quickly and it tastes great! It's hard to find street tacos in Hawaii imo so this was a nice surprise. They do run out of things quickly - tried getting the birria ramen and I think it's one of their popular dishes

    This place is the best birria tacos i've ever had, the quality is amazing and the price makes it even better! The service was also very good, I always have a good experience when coming over here.

    Been coming here for as long as i can remember. The quality hasn't changed. So good and worth the line. The tacos come out fast.

    This is my favorite Birria taco place in Hawaii. They are very generous with the meat and cheese. I would say a box can feed 2-3 people. There is a lot of onion and limes. The consume is flavorful, not too salty and good consistency. The food tastes very fresh, made to order and high quality ingredients. The service is made to order so please don't expect to get your food instantly. The workers are always kind and work very hard. The last time I went there, there was no seating so we usually just park our truck and eat on the bed. I would say you have about 10 minute timeframe to eat the tacos before they get cold and affects the taste.

    Kimberly B.

    Didn't know what to eat for lunch and my sister suggested we get birria tacos from this food truck. I've had birria tacos in the past but not from this food truck. We came at around 12:45pm there were about 3 groups in front of us. Line went by pretty fast. We both got the birria tacos 3 pack with consommé no cilantro. It looked so appetizing. The tacos were pretty crunchy and the meat was tender and each bite tasted so good with the consommé. The soup was very seasoned and delicious, I drank the rest of it after eating my tacos. If you wanted to, you could get noodles for it. Service is good, the employees were nice. Would come back again.

    Ask the Community - La Birria

    What days are they actually in the parking lot? Went on Thursday afternoon Jan 2 and nothing was there.

    Is it possible to get the tacos without cilantro?

    Yes

    What kind of cheese? Can you get without cheese?

    I'm not sure what cheese but I'm sure you can get it without the cheese! As if you get it without cilantro and all! You can most definitely get it without cheese (:

    What is their closing time? I went around 3:30 and they were closing :(?

    They close when they run out of food... so the earlier you get there the better... not super helpful, I know- but they sell out pretty fast. In Tuesdays in the evening you can get their food at the beer lab in pearlridge...

    Does anyone know if they have phone? For takeout order?

    No they're not I asked the same questions and the manager told me they're not. But in the future maybe they will do that's what I heard

    Take debit card?

    Yes they do take card payments!

    Do they take phone orders?

    No.

    Do you accept Apple Pay?

    They don't take Apple Pay but they do take cards.

    Hours of Operation?

    11:00 am- Until the food runs out! Earlier you can get there the better. Lunch rush is really busy...So late afternoon eaters may not get food!

    Do they have goat like the name suggests?

    No goat.... Just beef

    What time do you close?

    They sell out fast . Close when they sell out

    What are the hours of operation?

    11 till they run out! Get there fast(:

The fish was perfectly crispy with fresh slaw and really creamy sauces. The tortillas for the tacos tasted very fresh too, which made them even better. Both entrées came with lemon wedges that added a nice bright touch. The fish and chips were great and the fries were perfectly crisp. I still think about the crème brûlée. The texture and caramelized top were spot on. Portions were generous as well. We were staying at a nearby resort so it was an easy walk for us. The service was good, although we came when there was not much of a line. The truck is located in a lot with several other food trucks so it is easy to find. I cannot speak to parking since we walked. There are a couple of benches in front where you can sit and enjoy your food, and the truck sits under a huge tree which gives some nice shade from the heat. Overall, I would highly recommend stopping by if you are looking for great vegan food.

The good news is it is fast so if you wait a little bit, someone is likely to finish up and leave. The ambience is definitely casual since it is a truck.

I read rave reviews on here for the fish tacos so I orderes them and they did not disappoint. The vegan sour cream is so creamy, thr coleslaw is perfectly tangy and crunchy, and the vegan fish is delightful. My husband got the chicken tacos which were hot, in contrast to the fish tacos. They had avocado and a green sauce and we also liked these though the fish were our favorite. The hibiscus lemonade was lovely and refreshing also. The service here is very fast. We basically ordered and then looked around at the other truck menus and by that time our food was ready! I would definitely recommend this place especially for vegetarians and vegans and would love to come back!
