Birrieria San Marcos — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Quite good but not amazing- IF, you know quesabirrias😉 Consommé lacks key flavor notes and it’s kinda fatty and salty vs sublime. I’ve lived in the east bay (SF) and quesabirrias are sadly way more prevalent than in LA. But even grunge taco trucks there are better than this.

Still, if you’re a virgin or inexperienced, you’ll love it. Here’s the thing, quesabirrias are the best of simple Mexican foods in the US. So of course most will go nuts discovering them. But slow cooking produces crazy good flavorful juices and I suspect these guys rush the process or something… Their consommé simply doesn’t have a range of head-spinning flavors that it should. The pickled red onions, same.

Cheese was a gagging amount so if you love cheese you’ll be in heaven!

You know how they usually have that wonderful aroma that goes through your nose… these also feel rushed and taste a little more like raw onions versus pickled.

Still, for a food truck...

The taste is there, but the fixings are not fresh, and the tacos suffer from lazy practices. All the salsas and radishes and onion/cilantro are pre-bagged in plastic. As such, the fresh ingredients essential for sprucing up birria tacos taste stale. I mean, it’s California – fresh produce is not expensive. The tacos themselves are a soupy mess. I squeezed a full tablespoon of liquid from EACH taco. The tortillas don’t taste fresh. Dipped in red sauce, the flavor resembles gourmet Doritos. The meat itself is tender but lacks dynamic flavor of better birria joints. It all just tastes savory and salty. If you find yourself here, eat your food RIGHT AWAY and OUTSIDE YOUR CAR. Otherwise your tacos will disintegrate into your lap...

Maybe it was just a bad day for them , at the end I did get my food a very...
