    Ordered some birria beef tacos to go with some loaded nachos. I believe its only outdoor seating in an enclosed patio so no worries from the sun lol. First time here and it was so good! Plenty of meat and delicious! Staff were really nice went we came to pick up. Thank you!

    Asada burrito

    Tried this place via DoorDash a couple days ago and it was delicious!! I ordered 2 asada burritos, some birria and asada tacos as well, I love that they serve them on homemade tortillas, makes a huge difference on flavor. I enjoyed the consomé that comes with the birria tacos, bomb! My family really enjoyed their dinner, not tight with the protein portion either and the green salsa was just right with a good kick! My order was all correct and arrived warm, I will definitely order from here again!

    For lunch I had some of the best Birria tacos to be discovered at this local spot while working in Panorama City. Small restaurant located in this plaza amongst more restaurants, storefronts and a nightclub. Seems like a nice local spot to come and hang out with family and or friends. I came by myself tho. There were 2 associates working, which whom were nothing nice and professional. Minus the language barrier, I and the cashier were still able to effectively communicate and was able to place an order without any issues. Patient and polite. Plenty of seating areas and tables to dine and eat. Great vibes and atmosphere. Big screen tv on display. The cook brought both my plate and drink out to me. Customer service was definitely on point here and above my expectations. No complaints at all. And I fasho loved my Birria tacos and Jamaica. Everything was .

    This is a shrimp taco well done with homemade tortillas

    So I got the thumbs up from the doctor to go ahead and order my DoorDash. I picked this place because it was happy hour and they had a deal on tacos. I end up getting for shrimp tacos and substituting it for the homemade tortillas which we're supposed to be flour, but they came out a little different so just keep in mind. The homemade tortillas are really not flour. They're more like corn. They're a little bit thick other than that this place is amazing. I spoke with kat she was so sweet and helpful in this place is great. I would recommend it. I just would change some things and maybe get the corn tortillas next time you really didn't need to add much for the flavor the flavor was amazing

    Quesa birria taco, horchata, jamaica, 6oz consomé

    I've been going here for years. Their speciality is popular for a reason. The quesobirria tacos are the best in the valley period! They sear the tortilla perfectly. It's not soggy and it holds its shape. The birria consomé itself is something I come back for by itself. You can definitely taste the cloves. I reccomend asking for more lime. They've definitely improved a lot service wise! More than a year ago it took my and my friends more than 20-30 minutes to get our food. It was really off putting but the birria was enough to come back and I live really close. Last couple times I've gone this year and late last year they have improved to less than 15 minutes depending on the size of the order. Their baja fish and shrimp tacos taste just like the ones alongside baja california (i know since i did a roadtrip along that coast) If you like fish tacos it's a must try!! Come here please you won't be disappointed!! Your Mexican parents won't be disappointed either (mine loved it) On a side note, la plaza del valle is an open area concept. They only have outdoor seating so plan accordingly since it absorbs any weather. They have multiple murals and wall art/decor to honor mexican culture and other latino cultures in the plaza (of which I am so proud of) Parking is nice and easy in the back. Check it out!

    I've only ordered through uber eats but everything I do, it tastes amazing. Everything is very fresh and it's the perfect amount for one person. Pretty affordable as well.

    The tacos and burritos are good. Good flavor, but please stop burning the meat. I have ordered 3 times and the 3 times the meat is burnt, specially the pastor.

I came here for dinner on a week night and my experience here was pretty good. I had the asada and al pastor tacos with all the toppings and they were both so good and full of meat and heat. The toppings can be spicy for some, so be warned. My favorite of the two was the all pastor which was flavorful and I did like the thinly shaved meat. It was not dry at all and was fresh. I also tried the mulita with al pastor meat and that was also soso good. Cheesy, meaty, and indulgent. The additional topping section had good variety with pickled onions, cucumbers, etc. and everything seemed pretty fresh. Unfortunately, they were pretty much out of the roasted pepper and grilled onions at the time I went. To drink, I had the horchata and that was also very delicious. It was huge, sweet, and creamy. I also loved how it was not grainy at all. A good pairing with the rich foods. They also have a good amount of seating at the stand with a long table and multiple chairs. Parking is tricky since its street parking only.

I love the Cabeza tortilla and 3 is the perfect number of tacos for me as they are pretty generous with the meat and avocado sauce. Been here twice and both times because we were going to a show at the Forum which is just a short drive away. It gets pretty busy around dinner time so expect a long wait as the line moves pretty slowly (everything is made/ cooked fresh!)... but the wait is 100% worth it. Just make sure you order enough the first time so you dont have to wait in line again. There is some parking but it gets pretty crowded too so you might have to street park (and the area around can get a little sketch) so be careful. The second time we came here was almost 1130pm right before their midnight closing. This time, the parking lot was emptier so we managed to park inside. There was still a pretty steady stream of customers even around closing, but at least the line isn't ridiculously long. Can't go wrong with anything you order here!

My friend also got a burrito and I heated it up the next day to enjoy and it still tasted awesome. My review might be slightly skewed as Mexican food is depressing up in Canada so any semblance of authentic Mexican food gets me going. I will have to return to LA soon...just for the tacos here.

I do like how they grill their meat though and they use the tortillas to scoop up the meat on the grill. Thought the al pastor was a bit salty and the cheese did not add much flavor to it, but that's probably a good thing considering the saltiness of the meat. Also, make sure you ask them for pineapples since they did not include it until we asked. They do have them sliced up in a container by the meats. Ambience is very casual and it's a stand while eating type of situation. Service was quick.

You can tell that it's house made and I liked the chewy texture of it. However, respectfully the filling felt and tasted like bean goo. I could only really taste the refried bean flavor which was strong. It kind of meshed all the components together into a gooey filling. I got this with asada meat and the meat was kind of chewy and not so flavorful on its own. Props to the tortilla though for not spilling everything out and holding it together well, but still a bit difficult to eat. I would ask for utensils when eating this dish. The green onion garnish was unique. I wish they gave more lime wedges because that helped elevate the dish. For $13 this wasn't too bad, but I'd rather get a better burrito from a street vendor. This is a casual eats type of place with both indoor and outdoor seating and tables. They also serve alcohol and even frozen alcoholic drinks. They have a free parking lot in front, but it can be competitive to get a spot. Overall, my experience here was just okay and I would opt for other spots.
