    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

    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'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!

We found easy street parking in the neighborhood on 41st Street, and waited in line for about 15-20 minutes. We ordered the asada tacos. They pre-sauce your tacos, which was fine by me, but my boyfriend who can't handle as much spice would've preferred it on the side (so warning for anyone similar! they do put a little habanero on them, so just ask them for salsa on the side). I think I ran into a problem of reading too many raving reviews -- these tacos were good but I was expecting them to be mind blowing, so I was a little disappointed. I tasted the charcoal char, but kind of wished the taste was more pronounced, or at least the meat more seasoned. The hand made tortillas were definitely the coolest part, but I thought they were a little dry too. The ladies whipping those out are artists though. Actually, all the workers here have the assembly line down to the tea, and they definitely add a little flare for a show. I particularly liked how they had a lot of seating at this location, instead of just a couple stools lying around like most taco trucks. It felt more like outdoor patio seating than a normal taco stand. They could probably take more time to wipe down tables more often though. Overall would visit again if in the area, but wouldn't go out of my way for the tacos here.

We ordered just a couple tacos - one asada and one tripa, based on reading numerous recommendations that those are what to get here. $3.50 a taco which is not bad for a restaurant taco. It's a cool casual vibe here. Seating inside as well as the patio. They have tasty looking horchata and other agua frescas. Colorful walls. They bring your food out to you by calling your name. The tacos were loaded with a pretty decent amount of meat and toppings. But sadly we were far from impressed by the flavor. The asada was okay and better than the tripa, but it paled in comparison to our go-to taco trucks in the area which only costs $1. And the tripa was strange to eat in taco form. The tripa is crunchy small pieces so it just feels odd to eat in a taco. Maybe if it was just served as an appetizer to eat by itself, but even then, it kinda just feels like you're eating pellets. Don't see the hype unfortunately.
