Let me begin by saying I have had my fair share of birria. From food trucks in San Antonio to family-run taquerĂas in LA, Iâve traveled far and wide in search of that deep, slow-braised perfectionâbut nothing, nothing, could have prepared me for this birria platter. This wasnât just a mealâit was an experience. A memory. A moment where time stopped, and my taste buds were baptized in flavor.
Letâs Talk About the Birria The star of the plate was the birria beefâfall-apart tender, juicy, and rich with that unmistakable slow-cooked depth that only comes from hours of simmering in love, spice, and tradition. The consommĂ© wasnât oily or greasyâit was velvety and full-bodied, with layers of smoky chilies, garlic, and warming spices that danced on the tongue. Every bite felt like a symphony, and I caught myself closing my eyes, savoring each forkful like it was a secret whispered in my ear by an abuelita who knew exactly how to win my heart.
Refried Beans Elevated to Art Now, I never thought Iâd write a paragraph about refried beans, but here I amâbecause these werenât just beans. They were creamy, seasoned to perfection, and topped with a generous layer of melted cheese that was broiled just enough to create a golden, bubbling crust. This wasnât a side dishâit was a statement. I wouldâve been happy with just the beans and a spoon. They were that good.
Rice & Pico â The Perfect Supporting Cast The rice was fluffy, aromatic, and well-seasoned without overpowering. It acted as the perfect balance to the richness of the beef, absorbing just enough consommĂ© to transform into its own flavor bomb. And then there was the homemade pico de galloâfresh in every sense of the word. The tomatoes were sweet and ripe, the cilantro vibrant, the onions sharp but not overpowering, and the lime juice brought it all together with a clean, zesty finish. It didnât just cut through the richnessâit elevated it.
Presentation & Atmosphere This platter came out hot and hearty, plated with intention. It didnât look thrown togetherâit looked crafted. The colors, the textures, the aromaâevery detail made me feel like I was about to sit down for something special. And trust me, it was special.
Final Verdict I can say with complete confidence that this was the best birria I have ever had. Period. Itâs the kind of meal you tell your friends about. The kind you dream about. The kind that ruins you for all other birria after it.
If youâre lucky enough to have a plate of this in front of youâdonât walk, run. And when you take that first bite, know that youâre tasting something sacred. Respect it. Praise it. And most importantlyâfinish every...

We did a quick tour of all the food trucks to see what our options were and most of them were Latin American food trucks. A few of the food trucks were closed and looked like they might only open for dinner.
I ended up choosing Blessed Belly Food Truck since their menu was the only one that caught my eyes.
Hot Cheetos Birria Tacos ($19.50): Four generously sized tacos stuffed with flavorful, tender meat, served with two sauces, lime wedges, and consommé. The flavors were incredible and definitely hit the mark. The portion is perfect for two, but since we were flying home and couldn't take leftovers, we happily stuffed ourselves and skipped dinner.
I've been on the hunt for great birria ever since falling in love with it, and not many places meet my high expectations. This food truck has now earned a spot in my top two for the...
   Read more1st time coming to this food truck and was very disappointed. The food was good, however customer service was awful. From the beginning the girl taking the orders was very rude. As you were telling her the order she was arguing with the cook telling him he wasnât her boss she didnât have to listen to anything he told her to do. I paid for my order and asked for my receipt she threw it at me. I said thank you she rolled her eyes and continued to argue with the cook. Once my food was ready I went up to give her the waiting buzzer and she snatched it away from me and threw my food onto the table on the truck. I went back up to order a water. They said it was $2.15. I had to run back to the car to get the .15 because she will not give me the water. When I gave her the change she threw the change in the tip jar and laughed. The menu said the water was only $2 but she made me get change just to add it to...
