    Taquitos dorados de birria
    Anne M.

    My bf and I been coming here for years now!! Best birria in LA! The service is fast and friendly, so kind. The ambiance is great, there's tables & shade.

    2 Tacos Dorados and 2 Tacos Dorados Con Queso

    Wow. Haven't been able to stop thinking about these tacos since getting them. If you haven't been here or had birria tacos, this is the place to go. We ordered some regular birria tacos (tacos dorados) and some with cheese (tacos dorados con queso). Cash only still but they offer to-go or eat now options. We decided to eat there so it wouldn't risk getting soggy during the drive back. For the eat now option, the tacos are served on a plastic plate with a sheet of paper on top. Fairly nice presentation for a taco truck. They also have the onions and cilantro, limes, paper napkins, and straws on the counter so you can grab as much as you'd like. As for the food, the tacos are street taco size; I could easily eat 4-5 of these no problem. The meat is super flavorful and juicy, with just a bit of fat. It does get messy but just come prepared with some wet wipes. I also liked the slight crispiness of the taco shells as well as the consomme you order on the side. It's great for dipping the tacos into for extra flavor. The cheese version basically just has a layer of melted cheese on top. It was a bit harder to eat and didn't really add much to the taco to make it worth it. Overall we still have more birria places to try but its safe to say this place is one we'll be returning to again. The tacos are affordable ($1.25-1.75 each), the service was great and we had no issues finding the food truck. We may have lucked out with parking but this is worth walking a few blocks to get.

    Wow! Some of the best birria tacos I've ever had. In fact, I wish I had some now as I'm writing this review. The birria and the consommé are very flavorful and delicious. The tacos can easily stand alone but the consommé adds a spicyness and richness to each bite, changing the experience completely. The tacos dorados di birria are crunchy - served on corn tortillas, filled with onions and cilantro, chili oil and dipped in consommé, it's heaven in every bite. Pair then with a Coke to perfectly balance the sweetness with the salty and spicy tacos. Looking for something a little more rich, try the birria muleta or the quesataco di birria - the cheese adds an extra element of flavor that only enhances the flavor of the birria. Don't forget to hit up the fresh salsa bar - love the cucumbers and chili oil. This spot is a can't miss!

    Barely any meat

    Food still good but they hardly put any meat on the tacos. $2 a piece. They're skimpy with the meat.

    This is the AM action at one of my favorite PM taco spots. Its $1 Birria tacos dorados and mulitas. So delicious and the salsa are f**king mouthwatering. They are small but with the price it definitely makes it easy to take an easy 7 down.. lol Some of the best tacos ever!! 8am -230pm only Birria is served. It gets pretty busy but definitely a quick flow. Some seating available Drinks and sweets are also offered. But the tacos yes are a must. So yummy! Cash only No restrooms 25/100

    Tacos,Mulita,quesataco, taco dorado

    Wow wow wow! Stopped by here on a whim during lunchtime while driving by. They only serve birria and you can tell they put extra love and focus into the meat. I ordered a burrito and you cannot go wrong for only $5! Highly recommend, but remember it is cash-only.

    Best Birria Tacos I've had... I've drove past this food truck several times, and today was finally the day I decided to try it... Let me tell you I was not disappointed... Everything I ordered from here was amazing... The birria they sell is "de Res", which I love... Most places sell "de chivo" and I'm not a fan... I ordered tacos dorados, queso tacos, a mulita, a quesadilla and a large consome... It was alot of food and I only paid $20... Good food for a great price is my favorite ... The queso they use for the food is amazing it's so thick, flavorful and they use a lot of it so it's a great combination with the birria... The consome was really good to, great to dip the tacos and quesadilla in... They have the salsa and condiments set up in the front so you can help yourself... All 3 salsas are good and have so much flavor... I definitely recommend trying these birria tacos and will be coming back soon... They have some tables set up on the side walk if you want to eat there or can take your food to go... this place gets pretty busy, I recommend coming early, the consome is a great hungover remedy...

I wanted to order all the things but I exercised some restraint and just ordered the CARAMELO ($8.75 - Flour tortilla, pinto beans, Monterey Jack cheese, avocado salsa, salsa roja, avocado, cabbage.). I picked chorizo as my protein option. I also, of course, had to also add the smoky grilled poblano chile for $1.25. It was SO good and FLAVORFUL - it didn't even need the salsas. Although, I will note that both the salsas were lovely. The flour tortilla was clearly freshly made. Also, it was a massive portion. I don't know what I was expecting. If this is the size of their caramelo, I don't want to know how giant the burrito is. I also had to get the cucumber agua fresca to pair with my caramelo.

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've been meaning to try the other items on their menu, but it was so good the first time that I had to order it again. The portions are *very* generous, and they had the usual sides readily available on the side: lemons, cucumbers, sliced radish, grilled onions and peppers, etc. Also had a bite of their corn quesadilla... the tortilla was soooo good. They had the masa on the side and were making the tortillas fresh and by hand. Yum. Payment: - They take Apple pay! :) Parking: - We found street parking nearby thankfully, but it might be hard to find in general due to the area. Seating: - They have seating to the left of their grill (tables, folding chairs, a tarp overhead). Depending on the time of day, sometimes the shade doesn't quite cover your face--the sun was setting and hitting us right in the eyes, so we switched sides to sit facing away from the sun once those seats were available.

Having been to so many taco stands, I think what makes Tire Shop Taqueria really stand out are the right-off-the-grill charcoal-grilled meats, the freshly made tortillas literally in front of you as you are waiting on line, and the free guacamole that comes with each taco. The ordering process is like any other taco stand, though one difference is here the salsas/guacamole are all handled by the staff. If you'd like more of something, just ask them instead of reaching for the ladle yourself. There is a separate area though for grilled onions/peppers and radishes you can serve yourself. I got the asada, chorizo, cabeza, and al pastor, and they were all so good. The asada and chorizo are specifically grilled over charcoal, and that flavor really shines through. I loved how meaty and tender the cabeza was too, and the classic al pastor hit the spot. They have large communal tables setup, so it is a great friendly vibe to enjoy your meal I will say, the surrounding area is not the best in LA, especially given how the taco stand is only open at night. The parking lot is quite small, so I parked on a side street that had some abandoned cars, but of course, if you are in/from LA, this is not that new for us. I would hesitate if I am a tourist though to make it out here. Anyhow, the food really is worth it here, and I can't wait to be back!

    My friend said, this place had bomb tacos and tacos are my favorite especially when coming to LA,…read morehowever this place fell short on my expectations. The tostada was very hard and chewy thought I was going to brake a tooth. Asada meat and guacamole on the tostada had no salt. The only thing I was able to taste was the spicy salsa, which it's extremely spicy. My chorizo taco cold and the mulita was okay. Tortillas hand made which that's a plus Agua fresca de pineapple tasted water down too much just tasted the water with hint of pineapple. If you new to this place just know that you can ask for frijoles de la olla on the side they are free. I did like that they had grill onions and it's self serve. Street parking available, but know area not the best to be in. Tables have about 3 incase you planning eat there, & if super hungry know you will be waiting for a long time. It's really cool know it's a tire shop during the day and a taco shop in evenings. This place is very laid back attired unfortunately no music playing.

They've added more outdoor seating right outside the market + a few spots in the parking lot courtyard. If you're looking for a slightly quieter environment, outside is preferable.

These were truly the epitome of street tacos and absolutely nothing about the vibe, the service, and the FOOD, disappointed.

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.
