Tacos y Birria La Unica - Mid City — Restaurant in Los Angeles

It's good, it's real good. Unica has been in the birria game before everybody and their moms decided to jump on the craze. Their tender and flavorful birria comes in beef and goat and both are worth your time. Now that they've posted up cla.swcond truck closer to the Westside, it's become my go to birria, taco, and consome spot.

The star of the show are the queso tacos with birria, do a side by side taste test with goat & beef. Crispy, crunchy, homemade tortillas with the juicy birria countered with cilantro and onions. A cup of consume on the side to dip and you're on the pro level.

And a lovely spot - a couple of tables under big shade trees with a touch of grass. Particularly on a 90F...

Kind and friendly service. They only take cash, though, so be prepared to bring cash. I didn't know this when I visited, but the staff was so understanding and caring that they told me they could also take payment through zelle. So, I immediately sent their payment right after I ordered. Their tacos are some of the best I've ever had. Meat is juicy, tender, soft, and well seasoned. Tortillas felt made from scratch.
