Stopped by for a quick snack since I saw this place on YouTube. Got the Goat Birria and an Asada tacos, both were great. Full of queso and real delicious. Lemonada con Chia was no overly sweet and refreshing on a hot afternoons. Worth the stop come check it out

I came to this spot because my friend said we needed to go. Absolutely worth the trip. The birria ramen was fantastic and the burrito was great too. I was thrilled to get the goat birria since it's so difficult to find it made that way. It would be nice if there were a few more tables around but it's a truck on the street so there's only so many options for seating.

First and foremost, BRING CAH! Cause you don’t want to miss the tacos. Pull up and you should be able to find a close area to park, as it is a truck! They are really quick and serve you all the toppings to go, just ask for extra if you need it. Some of my favorites are the quesatacos and carne asada, but obviously their birria tacos with a side of consome is #1. All the meat is very tender and seasoned well. Also beware their quesadillas are huge, in general their meat portions are generous. They’ve got aguas and Mexican cokes. Plus outdoor tables for you to post up if you want to take a couple bites. Really authentic and the staff is kind. Definitely one of my favorite trucks in all of LA. Please support small business, it’s been a tough year and they’ve been feeding the community through a lot of it!

Every stop at La Unica, never been a disappointment ever! Meats are really delicious, yummy and authentic flavor. This time I just ordered soft tacos and mulita, but this place is known for their delicious goat birria. Make sure you try their red salsa, spicy but full of homemade flavor. You won't look for another food truck again, this is all you need!

The best tacos truck in Los Angeles, in my opinion. The shredded goat (birria de chivo) is one of the most tastiest pulled meat dish I've had in my life. We had it with some crunchy tacos and the meat broth (consome c/ carne) which was also so flavoursome. Definitely worth getting it as a side dish. The service was impeccable and they even gave us some extra meat with the broth knowing we were tourists. Do make the trek out to come and sample the best taco truck in LA. You won't be disappointed.

Ive missed stopping by the last two visits into the area, not this time. Well worth the wait. The Queso Beef Taco were amazing and the star of the show for me was the Birria Ramen. Can a bowl of Ramen be that good. YES . No skimping here. The consomme was amazingly flavorful, full of Ramen with tender shredds of beef in the bottom. Yel I'll be back for more.

Ridiculously good tacos. Such good prices, flavours are eye popping. The chicken is especially tasty but really you can’t go wrong here at all. Lovely staff, seating even in the (LA?!) rain. Parking is a free for all down the boulevard but there’s always somewhere. Some people park in the middle reservation of the road.

Super popular taco truck in Boyle Heights. Came here on a Sunday morning around 11am and there was already a long line. However the line moves quickly (took about 15 min to order), and then you wait for your number to be called (took about 30 min to get our food). There’s no public bathrooms available. It’s still open during covid for takeout, but you can’t eat nearby. Masks are required and there is hand sanitizer available. Parking is available on the street but you might need to circle the block a couple of times. Cash only. Theres a lot of other food stands like the clay jar michelada/Paloma/margarita stand, which may help pass your wait time. The service here was very friendly and efficient. Food-wise, I think 3 quesatacos should do it if you’re feeling peckish, although most people seem to order 4. The carne asada meat is really good and is the only meat that comes with guacamole. However, I’d definitely recommend the birria de res, which comes with a small consomme (no meat). The quesatacos come with cheese and you can dip it in the consomme for added flavor. The chivo (goat) was also tender and had a deep earthiness for those craving something more unique. The salsas came with a variety of options, and the light red one was the spiciest. Overall, a great spot to indulge in some meat from a local hotspot.
