So I was driving down from SF bay area and was craving a quesabirria since I haven't had one yet I hopped on Google and this was the 1st shop that popped up and I must say it was bomb! Now I see that they're #1 Definitely recommend you try tthis place! One thing I'd say to the chef is the birria caldo was too salty but it was still amazing. I even saved a piece to take home on my 6 hour drive lol

To try birria for the first time and the food was AMAZING AND DELICIOUS! The flavors of the meat and consume were perfect. You get nice shareable size portions and the service was great. Will eat there again and recommend to everyone!

There's lots of birria spots in LA, but this one was delicious and worth coming back to. Had the quesotacos dorados with a side of consume, and oh man, bomb. Next time I'll get a bigger consume and I'll add ramen to it. Parking is the only thing that sucks in the area though.

Pretty good spot for lunch. The shredded beef was falling apart and super tender. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area who is craving a good taco. The staff were friendly patient and polite.

Excellent tacos with ample delicious shredded meat filling. One of the best in LA if you're over here on this side of town and with fire sauce if you desire. Good destinations for vampiros if you like those too

If you’re a local this is a MUST GO TO place. Really good tacos and staff are friendly and very clear on the service. Went around 1 in the afternoon not packed at all. Most reviews say it takes way too long for orders. The lady that attended us was very clear 15min for a big order. But definitely VERY good tacos. I recommend.

Birrieria Los Gonzalez is a hidden gem that delivers some of the best birria I’ve ever had. From the moment you pull up to the food truck on Maple Ave, you know you’re in for something special. The aroma alone is enough to get your mouth watering. I ordered the quesatacos and a side of consommé—and wow. The birria is incredibly tender and flavorful, with just the right amount of spice. The crispy cheese on the tacos takes it to another level, and the consommé is rich, savory, and perfect for dipping. Service was fast and friendly, and even though it’s a food truck, everything was clean and organized. It’s cash-only, so come prepared, and be mindful of parking in the area. If you’re a fan of birria, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back—probably sooner than I should!
