    5 stars great burgers! Great for any event super fair pricing would suggest for anything

    This experience was completely unexpected and completely unforgettable. It's not a brick and mortar nor full-size food truck but a small camper-like shop just off Van Nuys Blvd adjacent to the tire shop. The owner made it a wonderfully personal experience by making it clear what pride he takes in his food. And damn well he should! Forget just smash burgers, this is easily one of the best burgers I've had in over 20 years in Los Angeles. The seasoning in the meat was incredible. Other than that, it's just American cheese, burger sauce and grilled onions. Fabulous. Savored every single bite. The fries were also great, but I'd go back again and again and again for their burger.

    Gary is awesome. He makes the best angus beef and ground chicken smash burgers. And while we are at it, make sure to order a side of his crispy onion rings and fries. Set alongside the street in front of the Happy Rabbit Bar just off of Van Nuys Blvd, you can enjoy a cocktail and some food provided by Gary. He is super friendly and serves your food with a big smile! *Prices are reasonable *Food Truck only *Located just north of Magnolia Blvd and Van Nuys Blvd on the east side of the street

    A pleasant surprise. Last night was at my favorite watering hole and Gary came in with samples of his smash burger. I am a bonafide smash burger junky and this is definitely one of the best that's coming out of a tiny little trailer. The beef is perfectly seasoned and the sauce on it is amazing. I had one burger there and got another to have when I got home. If you see the tiny little trailer do yourself a favor and stop and try it!

    Best burger I ever had in my life so friendly and amazing food totally recommend the food is not greasy and it taste so good

    100% Angus single burger with cheese

    Stopped by and smelled something amazing in the air, it was Gary's burgers! I have never been but live in the area and I've always wanted to stop by. The owner was extremely hospitable and very knowledgeable about everything that he uses in his recipes. Everything is made from scratch, the house sauce is addicting! From the first bite of the burger, it was crispy edges, but tender on the inside and the American cheese melted perfectly. The burger was loaded up with sauce and cheese, and it just melted. I am so impressed with everything from start to finish. I will definitely be back! If I could give more than five stars I would! THANK YOU!!

    Holy crap, you gotta try this stand. Van Nuys Boulevard just leveled up by like 33% because this place exists. The food is simply fire just like their sign says. The single smash patty is exactly the right amount of indulgence -- any more and I'd probably feel guilty, but this hits the sweet spot. What really makes this spot shine is the owner. I don't know how he does it, but he makes every single customer feel like they're the star of the show and I enjoyed bantering with him while having my burger and beer. Great food, great vibes, and honestly, the whole neighborhood feels a little cooler now that this place is here.

    Great food and great service. Had a single smash and it was amazing! Easy to get to and contact for a catering service.

    I've lived down the street from this taco truck for more than a decade and today I finally decided…read moreto try it. My husband ordered 4 asada and 4 Al pastor tacos. I got a carne asada quesadilla plate (comes out rice, beans, and a salad). There are no prices anywhere, which I don't exactly like, but alas. The total came out to 42 dollars. Service - very friendly girl took my order. Salsas - there were 4 or 5 and they were all delicious! I think my favorite is the spicy, very watery red one. Asada tacos - my husband said they were good Al pastor - my husband did not really care for these. He said it tasted like warmer tray pastor rather than fresh trombol pastor, which wss probably true, as I saw no roasting meats. Bummer. Quesadilla - probably one of the best I've had in a while! The perfect amount of cheese and meat. Some places overdo it and you can't even pick the thing up without it falling apart. Some places are skimpy on the meat. This was just right. Rice - flavorful and cooked well Beans - probably my new favorite beans. They're on the loose side and have great flavor. Salad - I didn't really eat it. It was just a little plop of shredded lettuce, a few diced tomatoes, two slices of avocado, and I think sour cream. I ate the avocados and that was it. Overall, glad to have finally tried this spot. Will definitely be back to try sopes and a couple other things. Wish they had posted prices and that my husband liked his Al pastor more so I could actually get him to go back, but alas. It'll just be my spot.

    10/10 tacos my husband was definitely right about this place…read more The tacos with lemon were amazing I forgot the sauce sadly :( but I'm sure with it would have been a ever better experience if they were good with just lemon I can only imagine the difference with sauce Will definitely go back Had a great 1st experience

    La Autentica Birrieria has become a weekend tradition for our family after my daughter's basketball…read moregames at a nearby gym. The food is consistently excellent, and it's easy to see why there's always a steady line of customers. The tortillas are made fresh by hand, and the birria always tastes like it was prepared that day. While it can take a little time to receive your order, that's part of what makes the food so good--you can tell everything is made fresh rather than sitting under a heat lamp. We've tried a variety of menu items over the years, including the asada tacos, goat birria, beef birria, birria ramen, and even the chicken quesadillas . Everything we've ordered has been flavorful and well-prepared. They recently started offering aguas frescas, which are delicious and pair perfectly with the food. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and they're generous with the salsas, letting you choose whichever sauces you prefer with your tacos. Don't skip dessert, either. We recently tried the gelatin dessert they started selling, and it was surprisingly delicious. Great food, fair prices, friendly service, and consistently fresh ingredients. We highly recommend La Autentica Birrieria and will continue coming back weekend after weekend.
