Customer service is really good. Came in on a Sunday morning right when they opened. The place was empty, not sure why the food was really good! Did not have to wait long for the food and it came out fresh. It seems they sell a lot of to go trays for parties? Not sure but would def. Go again. I got the torta and a quesadilla. I liked that the tortilla (hand made) was the yellow corn, smelled so good just like the ones you buy in Mexico. read more

Got home what the Hell got no Shell hard nor soft. Highly recommended. Not sure if they forgot or you need to ask for a shell

Tried this place for the first time and I'm so happy I finally did, the regular tacos were so flavorful, an explosion in my mouth of delicious birria with onions and cilantro, I ordered the taco dorado and the taco with cheese and wow it was a mix of velvety, rich, moist and decadent flavors. The ambiance is a small yet family friendly place. When I got there I asked the cashier what she would recommend and she hit it on the money bc everything we got was so delicious. She was so extra sweet and friendly, very welcoming and made us feel like we belonged. I highly recommend this place, the friendly staff along with soul satisfying food will have you pleasantly surprised that you've found this gem! We are so extra happy that we've found this place and can't wait to make it a weekly dining option.., read more

The way to my heart is through good food... Yes, I yelped my way into my own heart! lol I was passing through the neighborhood and was looking for a quick and easy lunch spot. I remembered another Yelper raving about a dipping taco place in Downey. So, I yelped it! Yelp had this spot at 4.5 stars and without a doubt I led myself to this taco joint. I pulled into a pretty empty strip mall and could not find it... I finally saw it hidden in the corner. I parked my car and walked into this small establishment with about 6 tables max. They also had an outdoor seating area with 2 tables around the back. I ordered tacos dorado (hard shell) with consome with meat. Apparently they have two different types of consome... The food came out pretty quickly so I rushed over to the sauce bar where they had a red hot spicy salsa, limes, spicy pickled onions, and napkins. That's all they have and that was all I needed... I squeezed a lime over my taco and one into my consume. I then dipped the taco into my consume and put some hot sauce over the dipped tacos. It was DELICIOUS! I then ate the pickled onions to clean my palate. The consome was a little on the greasy side for me. Pros - Tacos itself had great flavor and were delicious. Cons - The consome was a little oily and made me feel bilious after two tacos. Overall - I would come back but not order and eat more than 2 tacos... read more

Yelp it, Yelp good! Yes, Yelp does do wonders. We were in the heart of East Los Angeles, and we ended up in Downey, CA for tacos! We found this place by accident as we thought dipped tacos sounded delicious. Located in a very quiet plaza, this place was busy. We ordered Birria Tacos with a Birria dipping sauce, similar to a soup base. It was flavorful and delicious! I had a hardshell along with a softshell taco. Very liberal proportions of meat inside. The dipping is basically the contents of the gravy from the Birria as it was prepared. Onions and cilantro was added in it for additional flavor. Anyhow, a taco of a different nature, and I liked it. Wash it down with some Horchata, and boom... You'll be content. A very hidden taco place. But I thought it was worth the trip. Crowded inside with people coming in and out. Yes, I'll be back soon! read more

Senor Birria - Dipped Tacos! Hard Shell and a soft Shell - Mexican Near Me - Downey, California

Food hits the SPOT! The birria is savory and juicyZ the tortillas have a solid crunch and flake perfectly. the cilantro and the onions cut through the richness and add extra tang. Really really freaking good and well priced. Hole in the all place in the corner of a strip mall. Would never have known it was there if not for yelp so thanks again. They only speak Spanish here so perfect time to practice. Service is quick and friendly and the lady checked back in with me to see how everything was, at a fast casual spot thats really thoughtful. Extra points for the mural Will def be back! read more

Came in on Sunday around 2:00 p.m. 3 of us, quiet little place ample seating, a few tables on the outside too. There is no table wait service, you have to order at the cashier and pay they will take it to your table. The staff is friendly and helpful. The menu is a little hard to read because the lettering is so small. Managed to make our way through it using a lot of time, but eventually ordered the birria egg rolls, California burrito, and a quesadilla with birria, plus 1 drink, everything came up to $40. The egg rolls come 3 to an order and have a lot of meat it was supposed to have cheese but I think they over fried them and the cheese got melted out as the outside of the egg rolls were just a little too chewy hard, not crisp and light. My husband enjoyed the California burrito it had plenty of birria and avocado and french fries. The third person in our party had the quesadilla with the beef and it looked very good she said it tasted very good. The birria egg rolls come with consomme, which was very delicious and had shreds of beef in it too, we all used it for what we ordered, they have a red chili at the salsa bar that is tasty good, but very hot, we used it minimally so we could taste our items, and the consomme, and enough heat to compliment it. There is also a catering menu, I would strongly suggest for parties. Anyway if I'm ever in the area again, because we live in Long Beach I would stop by again or maybe even go out of my way if I'm craving some delicious beef birria. read more

Great Birria burrito. The burrito was 90% meat and tasted great. Definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting some good food.

I've had better birria. I usually go to Birrieria Gonzalez and I think I like theirs a lot better. I came an hour before closing on a Saturday night and there was a good amount of people in line already and only more after us. I ordered a quesataco, regular tacos and consume. The limes, salsa, and pickled onions were self-serve. They make handmade tortillas which were super fresh but too thick for my liking. The meat portion on the tacos were super skimpy. I'm not sure if they were trying to portion enough birria til closing but it was not enough in the tacos and consume. The flavor was good tho. The salsa was SUPER spicy. Use the check-in on Yelp for 15% off!! read more

If you want an amazing deal for taco Tuesday. This is THE SPOT! Birria tacos for $1, add a small consome ‍ it has such great flavor and the salsa goes great in the consome. Always have fresh juicy limes and not stingy on the meat inside your taco can't go wrong ! read more

I came to this restaurant per a referral from a friend. I grabbed some quesatacos for takeout. The food was palatable, but definitely lacked flavor. Very plain jane. I was disappointed because I was really craving yummy birria tacos. For birria, I will stick to Tacos El Goloso in Torrance. Sadly, I will not be returning to Senor Birria. read more

So I have been meaning to try this spot as it keeps showing up on my Instagram and here on Yelp and thanks to the rainy weather cancelling some plans we had my wife and I stopped in for an early lunch and all I can say is wow. The birria itself had a really great flavor and the consumé was good as well but what made it better was how it was served. Let's start with the birria crunch wrap. This thing was loaded with birria, lettuce and cheese and was so good dipped in the consumé. The birria nachos were mostly birria which was a plus and the fresh chips held up well with the juice. The real star of the show though was the birria egg rolls. These things were heaven and they should be sold by the dozen. The wrapping was perfectly crunchy and airy and the inside was filled with onion, cilantro, birria and cheese. We even got a couple orders to go to share back home. The restaurant itself is tucked in the corner of a little plaza and has a few tables available for people to dine in. It was somewhat busy when we got there but not too loud. The service was fast and attentive and the food came out pretty quickly. I definitely recommend trying this place out and getting those egg rolls! read more

I wasn't planning to go here, but I ordered the Taco Tuesday special of Birria tacos. One per dollar. Service was quick. I'm not very good with my Spanish, but I was able to order my food as best as I could. Music is somewhat loud, but I love the vibes of this restaurant. Everything they have is Birria inspired. There is no other type of meats. You can order Birria ramen, quesadillas, and even a crunchwrap. I will definitely be back every Tuesday! They have a decent size parking lot due to the restaurant being at an outdoor shopping center. Beware of traffic heading to this address during the afternoons. read more

What the best thing to have after a partial deep cleaning is first time adventure for birria! Came here via word of mouth - best decision ever! Located off Lakewood blvd by the old fashion mcdonald in a small parking lot with quite of few of other stores. Located in between kenexa and the trading post in the corner - it can be easily missed! Indoor and outdoor dining available. Tacos, nachos, fries, quesadilla, burrito, bowl, and consome birria forms all available along with various beverages in bottle and cans. Order the vampiros, tacos durado, small horchata, small consome - came out to about $11-$12? Vampiros is a fried shell with fried cheese and birria meat and cilantro red onions and the. The taco durado was a fried shell with birria cilantro red onions. Both very delicious especially dipped in the consome. Made fresh to order served with lime wedges and hot red sauce on the side. Very tender not greasy nor was the shells heavy or get cardboard like after it sits a while. The consome even on a warm day was very comforting contained birria cilantro and red onion. The size small was perfect for what I order and can easily be shared especially for dipping. Different sizes available from small to extra large? The horchata was very refreshing and not overly sweet. Definitely a hidden gem and place to come back to! read more

PROS: - The food here is decent, but I don't understand the hype and all the 5 star reviews? - The soft tortilla tacos are definitely better. I did not enjoy the deep fried taco shell version. It just tasted oily. - The consume was just OK as well. CONS: - The parking lot is tiny. - Too expensive for what you get. - The hard shell/deep fried tacos just tasted too oily and greasy. Not sure why people recommend this so much. read more

The food is delicious. I have tried almost everything on this menu. BUT I can't get behind their staff or the fact that they won't give me my avocado on the side and yet somehow I still have to pay for it if I don't get it---that's theft. I always place phone orders and every time I call by the end of my call I'm fuming. It's the staff laughing meanwhile they take your order, or them cutting you off mid sentence. Maybe it's not the intention but even in person the interaction feels aggressive. The 4 stars is for the food. read more

Finally I tried it and it was delicious.The consome is included when you order the plate( you can't order the egg roll by itself,you have to order the plate). Also ordered a plain birria taco for the wife.Service was good and the ambiance is more relaxed which I like.Definitely I will order it again. read more

The Birria is the best here! Super tender, so much flavor, and so many different varieties and ways they serve it. They do tacos, burritos, pizzas, ramen. It's so good! It's the most authentic birria spot I've ever had. We have came back so many times now and has been consistent every single time. Inside is small, but they also have seating outside as well. Service is consistently good as well, I believe it's a family ran business so come out, give it a try, and support a local business! You won't regret it. read more
