First, the good news, then the bad news... The good news is that these are the best tacos I have ever had in my life. The first time I had one of their Birria tacos, it was almost like an out of body experience! Absolutely amazing!! The bad news is that now I am completely jaded! They have totally messed me up because nothing else compares! read more

THESE ARE SO FIRE. Just tried them for the first time - birrias are perfect. I hate when they're too greasy and make you feel awful after you eat them. These are literally perfect, the guys are so nice and give you a ton of broth and a ton of sides and salsas. muchas gracias!!!! will be back for sure read more

The service was amazing. I waited no longer than 5 minutes to get my food, and they had limes and necessities outside for you to get. I got the birria tacos and it was absolutely divine. My only complaint would be the location, as being there at 10pm at night was a little sketchy. Overall my experience was a 10/10, WILL be coming back! read more

This place was awesome. Absolutely will be coming back on a regular basis. Plenty of street parking, friendly staff, and crazy delicious food. The shrimp tacos were the best I've had in LA. So good. The asada was delicious; I would have liked the birria more if it had the asada meat in it Really awesome. Went back for seconds. read more

It's been more than a year since my first review and I must say, Pobres Tacos has one of the best quesobirria tacos in this area. They now have a food truck and have been practicing the recommended safety measures during the pandemic. Gone (for now) is their beautiful table spread but for good reason. Condiments are now prepacked in containers and hand sanitizers is available. I recommend you try this spot! But I also recommend everyone to add their IG account for real time updates on where they are posted but also if they have sold out for the night. Sometimes they sell out as early as 7pm depending on the crowd. read more

Birria tacos at the best. #1 for me in LA for birria tacos. Because it's so good better just put simple ingredients (onion, cilantro, spicy chili salsa for consome if you like spicy) and enjoy the flavor of real birria consome. Real deal. Fish tacos were very nice as well. Everything is really fresh. read more

I had visited this stand when I still ate meat. They had this amazing quesotaco with jalapeño. They didn't have it now that I'm vegetarian, but they were very accommodating. They had potato taquitos on the menu and were kind enough to make me a quesadilla. With all they're fixins, this was a marvelous meal! Thank you again for making my visit a pleasant one! read more

Pobres Tacos - Their meat substitute, lol! - Tacos Near Me - Los Angeles, California

In a city of so many tacos, Pobres stands out as a wonderful neighborhood spot that will exceed your expectations regardless of your taco preference. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? As others have pointed out, Pobres is a quintessential neighborhood spot, and they really are the heart and soul of a city like ours. Everyone is so, so friendly, generous with samples, accommodating, and particularly aware of health and cleanliness standards that are common place these days. Star. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? Tacos at Pobres are $3.00 each, and while that's on the pricier side compared to say $1.25 street tacos, these are larger than your average taco. Star. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? It's exceptionally rare that I get both surf and turf tacos at any spot in Los Angeles. Sure, it's easy to combine the two down in say San Diego, but up here spots usually specialize in one versus the other. I strayed from that trend here at Pobres having heard great reviews on both, and was really impressed with both the fried fish and the carne asada tacos. Good proteins, decent peripherals, and solid salsas. Single Star. Star 5: Would you be excited to go back? Definitely. Star. read more

AMAZING!!!! Amazing birria tacos! Mom and son shop, they are both sweethearts and so hard working! Starting their days at 7am with shopping and prepping!! They're open from noon to 10PM Thursday-Sunday. Birria was delicious and the meat so tender!

My absolute favorite!! I've been coming here for months now and I have recommended this place on my social media several times! Every person I have brought here told me they loved it. I am obsessed with their quesabirria taco (extra crispy). I add some onions, cilantro, that heavenly pink sauce, and some lemon on top. Perfection. This is my usual order. I have tried their quesabirria burrito and quesedilla as well and they are also both delicious!! Chef Janet is seriously one of the nicest people I have ever met. I come here at least once per week and I love how she always remembers me and greets me. They have such a lovely family!! 5/5. Would recommend!! read more

Pobres Tacos - Crunchy Quesabirria Taco - Tacos Near Me - Los Angeles, California

**Reviewing the beef quesabirria and the cheese stuffed jalapeño taco- they are both very good. Definitely try the beef quesabirria. It's SO crispy and tasty overall. Props to the team for creating this stuffed jalapeño taco, which is something I don't see too often on menus. It's good but after taking a small bite, my mouth was on fire and. I had to stop eating for a good 5 minutes before going at it again. They also have three sauces to choose from: darker red Chile, light green Chile and the mayo ketchup sauce. I tried all of these AND the consommé on the tacos and I can't pick a favorite. They're all great! This is a family run business and they are so nice! Will have to come back and try their regular tacos and other items! read more

Definitely above average quality for a street taco. The crunchy taco shells are a must have! It's $3 for a taco, a little pricey than on other street tacos, but they're very tasty. The sauces and salsas are incredible. The chipotle is my favorite and the spicy red almost gave my tongue a seizure it was so hot. Overall presentation of salsa and toppings is so cute. Everything looks fresh and well prepared. Recommend stopping by if you're in the area. read more

The quesabirria and birria tacos I had were top notch. They had this creamy red-orange sauce that I wish I got the name of but it was absolutely incredible. Their toppings spread was sophisticated. Staff was very welcoming and kind. I feel so lucky that I live walking distance from here and I can't wait to be back! read more

Friday, June 28, 2019 Came by today after having two tacos earlier at L.A. Birria. The tacos here are OK. L.A. Birria's were better. I just don't understand all the 5 Star reviews. Especially when Pobres's tacos were compared to Teddy's Red Tacos. Teddy's is by far the best birria taco I have ever tasted. Sorry Janet. Monday, Memorial Day...May 25, 2019 I was driving on Pico around 2:30pm today and much to my surprise I saw Janet behind the table that was set up with the condiments. I circled the block and parked in front. I was excited to try her birria tacos again as I was hoping to elevate my 3 star rating to 5 stars. But when I tried to order, Janet stated they weren't going to be open until 4:00pm. I really like the whole vibe that this place emanates and I want them to succeed but after first trying birria here and then many others I found two places that seemeso much better; Teddy's Red Tacos in Venice and L.A. Birria on Adams just West of Crenshaw. I hope Janet can get close to them in both taste and appearance. I'll try again but not today. I came back again today, Friday, April 12...to get the birria burrito, the burrito was OK, the flavor of the birria didn't come through as the mixture of rice and beans overpowered the beef. I really like the people here but I can't up my rating. I have to say I absolutely loved the consommé/broth. I also saw the gentleman in front of me ordered three tacos and they looked crispy. So I will come back again and get another burrito but with just the birria meat, I'll pay more to be able to taste the birria beef and not have it dominated by the rice and beans. And I'll get one more taco that hasn't been drenched in the "secret sauce". I'll dip both in that incredible consommé. I really want this place to succeed and it kinda looks that way because the reviews seem to be all five stars. I just wish I could agree with all of them. Late I did come back as Janet suggested. I did so anonymously, not to get free tacos but to try their tacos prepared "crispy". The tortilla was only somewhat better and certainly less soggy than when I was here last week. The meat also had less inedible fatty pieces. The prices are now $3.00. I wish Janet and her wonderful crew much success but these tacos are just not for me. I prefer tacos dorados...with a crispy golden shell that has a crunch when you bite into it. I want to come back to try a burrito as I get to put my sauces and other "stuff" in it and then have Janet finish rolling it up. Maybe I will have found my new burrito place. They are open Friday-Saturday & Sunday. Verify the opening and closing times as I heard Janet tell someone they open between noon and 1:00. read more

I was in the mood for some food truck tacos and ended up finding this spot during my yelp search. They are a street vendor, not a food truck so I almost missed them as I was riding by. Luckily, there is plenty of street parking in the area. I originally wanted chicken tacos but they do not carry chicken so the owner suggested their speciality which is the Quesabirrias (shredded beef on a corn/flour mix tortilla) and I added fried onions. I requested 3 but the cook added a complimentary one to my order. Taste wise, the food was very good and I highly recommend this spot! read more

Hot damn it's good. I crave these tacos and want to eat them every night. Glad it's just down the street.

I would travel hours to have their crunchy quesabirria tacos! Luckily, I live close by. The tacos are well worth the price of $3 per taco. All of their ingredients look fresh and are laid out in a way that makes it easy to make the tacos your own. Janet, the chef, was so sweet and made sure we got what we needed. She even waved goodbye as we drove away! Definitely stop by Pobres whenever you get the chance. read more

Definitely the best birria tacos I've had. The condiment bars is out of this world. Everything is on point and well worth the wait. The grilled fruit add a nice touch at the end of the meal. read more

I was driving home from work down pico blvd, when I glanced to my right and noticed a line of people and a colorful table. Me being super hungry from work I stopped by and OMG that five minute wait was so WORTH IT!! From the moment of watching janet make those quesabirrias right in front of me I knew I was in for a treat. My mouth literally waters every time I think of the broth and dipping the crispy tacos in there I actually stopped by this Sunday, I had to bring my grandma who lives in Oxnard Ca, a hour drive just to try these tacos. She took home 10 after she had 6 there that night. Her son is vegetarian so she took some veggie tacos for him as-wells she loved them. I now have another reason to say "thank god its friday". read more

I happened to notice this place a few times when driving down Pico and was curios. Today as I was driving by I stopped over to give it a try. I ended up ordering the Quesabirria and Birria Quesadilla, both were amazing, the meat was so rich, flavorful and tender. The tortilla was nice and crispy which was a good contrast to the delicious meat and cheese inside. I'll definitely be back again and am excited to have them in my neighborhood!! read more

Pobres Tacos - Quesabirria and Birria Quesadilla... Yum!! - Tacos Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The address on this page is wrong. I went to the location last night and the stand wasn't even there!

Always down for a good food on the road! Wasn't disappointed and drove from the IE to try it out! Will come back in the future

Stumbled upon this random taco stand walking home from dinner from another restaurant. We eyed Chef Janet grilling up some delicious looking tacos and couldn't resist trying some even though we were stuffed! Found out she only makes one type of taco and it's beef birria. Fine by me, i was super stoked to have a red taco and it did not disappoint! It is jam packed with flavor and the meat was juicy and tender. There is a table set up next to the grill with a variety of condiments to go with your tacos. Several types of salsas, onions, cilantro, radishes, grilled jalapeños, whole tomatoes, & chips. I think i could have made a meal of just the condiments! Ivan and Janet were very nice and wanted us to try their tacos for free but at $2 a taco it's already a steal! I can't tell you how excited i am that Pobres Tacos is within walking distance of my home. Their stand is set up on the south side of Pico just east of La Cienega. I believe they are open Tues-Sun but they may change their hours. You can follow them on Instagram for more details. Let's make every day taco Tuesday and support small businesses!! read more

Pobres Tacos is an awesome street food vendor. This family establishment has been open only for two months on Pico, just east of La Cienega. But their cooking is on point. While from Nayarit, their cooking really reflects broader Mexico rather than the particular region. Their are super friendly, it is insanely affordable, and they have a clean place to sit. What more can you ask for? My littlest one had a plain cheese quesadilla. For $6, it was a huge burrito size flour tortilla with mozzarella cheese. It was simple and perfectly cooked. The oldest LO ordered two quesabirria tacos. The fresh corn tortillas are dipped in consume and cooked on the flat top with super tender birria and a bit of mozzarella cheese. They were outstanding, and they were about $3 each. I had the veggie taco, which was $2.50 and was the best of the lot IMHO because it had a FRESHLY MADE TORTILLA!!! Fresh masa pressed in front of me cooked on the flat top and filled with a mélange of sautéed zucchini, mushrooms, red and green bell peppers and maybe a bit of eggplant. I added some tomatillo salsa from the crazy fresh spread and had some fresh and tangy nopales alongside. It was as good as Mexico City. I also had the secret off menu stuffed jalapeno taco - a roasted jalapeno loaded with cheese that is melted on the grill and put in a blue corn tortilla. I topped that bad boy with some fresh pico de gallo and had some of their beans alongside. So delish! For $19, we had a very generous lunch with great service. The spread of salsas is impressive - from mild to very spicy - and the nopales are like being back in Mexico. I highly recommend this little gem. read more

Decided to try this place because it's a very short walk from my place. Quick, friendly service, and the tacos were tasty. I just wish they were a little more filling. I had three, and kind of wanted one more. Also, the tortillas had a nice crisp to them. If you don't live as close as I do, you might want to eat there, so you don't lose that. Chances are, I will go back because it's a very convenient weekend option for me. read more

Pobres Tacos - Three birrira tacos with cabbage, onions cilantro, and medium salsa added. - Tacos Near Me - Los Angeles, California

What an incredible find this was for us today. I am always constantly searching for that taco spot that leaves you sitting there not able to move. I am always in the search for authenticity, in the meats, tortillas, and especially in the Salsa. This little street spot is that and much more. The chef is super humble, this family run and operated spot is all you have been looking for. The carne Asada is grilled on the spot, the Burria taco is scrumptious. I am only disappointed that I missed out on the birria broth. I ordered 3 tacos the birria and 1 de Asada. My asada taco came out first, the chef promptly handed me my taco so that I can prepare it and eat it while the others stayed in the griddle to keep them warm. The salsa de molcajete was the cherry on top. Spicy as hell but that's exactly how I like my salsa for my tacos. I can honestly keep going on about this spot. I highly recommend it. The boys helping out mom ate incredibly polite and friendly. The music was also pretty dope. Some oldies, some banda, a little bit of everything. I LOVEEEEEEEEE THIS PLACE!!! read more

Some of the best of the best if not the best street tacos in Los Angeles. I know that's a huge statement, but swing by and give it a try. So much love poured into this establishment and it absolutely reflects in everything they do! read more

Ordered two "Quesabirrias" and an asada taco. Everything was delicious. The birria was juicy and extremely tasty, and the melted mozzarella was a nice addition. They also gave me some of the consume to dip my tacos in. The asada was also really good despite it not being their flagship meat. They had a really nice salsa spread, with beans, rice and a wide array of fixins for your plate. It felt like a family operation through and through. Everyone met me with smiles and suggestions for how to really deck my plate out. read more

This place is about 200 feet from my house. I've driven past it a few times and knew I needed to try it. I decided to walk over this afternoon, all I have to say is drop whatever you're doing and head over. I got two quesabirria tacos and I'm thinking about heading back over for a dozen more. The staff was super friendly and appreciative. Go support this business and get some amazing food. read more

I've been coming here every weekend for about 3 weeks now and the service is amazing, the only thing better is the flavor of the birria. The toppings are always fresh and abundant. Presentation is also off the charts. It's a small business that is a hidden gem in the Pico Robertson area. Definitely would recommend to anyone that wants a fresh take on classic street food or if your new to Mexican food this will set a high bar on other foods to come. read more
