La Birria

The most legit Birria and consommé I've ever had. I got the Birria Queso Pack which has three Birria tacos and consommé. They disappeared so fast, and I drank what was left of the consommé.The strawberry horchata was such a treat. Bursting with flavor and such a treat. I must have this again.

I'm literally screaming! This place is so good! The BEST place for birria on this island. When I say the consommé exceeded my expectations, I absolutely mean it. The broth was sooo rich in flavor, I could drink it. Whatever you do, just get an extra consommé and eat it with either ramen noodles or rice. Thank me later. Let's talk about the tacos-- ummmm incredibly DELICIOUS! The meat was tender and seasoned perfectly. The hell fire one... it was HAWWWTT!!! I can tolerate hot but as I was digesting, I could feel the heat making its way through my GI tract. Hehe. But so much fun when you get the Mexican roulette package because it's funny when the poor friend or you get the really spicy one. The place is fairly easy to find. It's around the corner from Scarlet nightclub. Parking is semi hard to find since it's Chinatown so the best way to get it quickly is to go w another person and have them sit in the car while you pick up the goods or vice versa. Service is impeccable. They're all so nice and super quick. I usually order a big order and it comes out within 5-10 mins which is muy impressive! I wish they would do a point system where if you buy X amount, you get one package free. I would literally be there every week. It is that good. Now run run run to the place. It's worth it, the hype is real.

Nice to see the place cleaned and opened. Pretty stoked when I saw them cleaning the windor and found out they'd open the following week. I was there that week...I was so excited. Maybe too excited...told all the coworkers and I know 1 guy is now a regular. I went late to avoid the lines. Limited menu. You're forced to get at least 3 regular or 2 HF tacos. I would have been perfect for me. I can't eat 3, and I also wanted to taste the HF, but I def didn't need 5 tacos. I ordered 3 with a side of saimin for leftover consomme, and then got a saimin for my mom for later on. I like that the saimin is separated from the soup. They make it all pretty too.Tacos need to be fresh so don't wait long to eat. Flavor is good...they use beef and not goat. I'm very much okay with that, but think the goat would be a hit with my hubs. I realized I've had Birria stuff, but it was my first time eating a Birria Taco. It needed a kick. Not a HF kick, but just a mild kick in the pants. I actually liked the saimin better...with all the garnish. Gave the flavors another level.Another day I did try the HF...1 big ass bite and pretty sure I was near death. I never thought I was such a wuss until then. Definitely never doing that again. But if the HF and the Regular ever make beautiful music and come up with a hybrid, then I'll try that. Til then, maybe I'll just stick with the saimin and add some shichimi.

I understand the hype now. Tried Birria tacos at another spot, was not impressed. Decided to give this spot a try. The shop is located in downtown Honolulu near Scarlet. Simple storefront with Hispanic music playing on the speakers. The menu is simple, which I appreciated. The tacos were crunchy even after a 10 minute walk back to the office. The consommé was rich and flavorful, and they're not stingy with the amount they pour in the to-go container. I had leftover consommé so I plan to take it home and eat it with ramen. Service was fast and friendly. Will definitely come back when I have another taco craving.

Lunch in Downtown Honolulu, Hawaii...I saw this Hot New Business on Instagram and had to try it!La Birria has a Food Truck in the parking lot of Pearlridge, but the thought of outdoor dining with the wind and exhaust fumes from cars passing by is not appealing. Plus, dipping my tacos in consommé requires a table and a clean, stable environment since this will be a very messy process...That's why this Fort Street Mall location is perfect! It's kind of busy during lunchtime since many office workers (and even police officers) stop by for dining-in or takeout. I got the Birria Queso Pack (three tacos with cheese), which comes with consommè and a wedge of lime. It was a bit spicy for me, but the shredded meat was tasty and tender! There were finely diced onions in it that provided some texture and more flavor. The edges of the corn tortilla had a slight crunch... yum! The cheese pull was fun, too!I also got a Strawberry Horchata, which was refreshing and helped calm my mouth! This drink has a cinnamon essence and is not watered down!Stop by if you're in the area!Tip: don't sit in the hot corner. Make sure you can feel the air conditioning because the door is left open.

Excellent food for a great price! The portions are generous and I could bathe in that consommé! I drove from Kailua where Jalapeños 808 offered the same meal for twice the price! Ridiculous!

Solid birria, fast and friendly service, no dine in option (for now?)Got an order of the regular birria (great) and an order of the hell fire (genuinely spicy, I was impressed and would not order again), and the strawberry horchata (delicious). Both birria came with the same (?) type of consomé. Consomé was thinner than I'd like. Hope they add a salsa in the future!

Congrats to La Birria on their new brick and mortar located in Fort Street Mall! They are serving up mouthwatering birria tacos with the most flavorful consume. You can even order a side of ramen noodles to finish up the delicious broth. I asked the owner for a drink recommendation and I was shocked at how much I enjoyed the strawberry horchata. I don't have that big of a sweet tooth but this hit the spot. Finally, we have an awesome birria tacos spot in Honolulu that is comparable to what you find in Southern California!

I remember coming here when it was a Mexican Takeout - Mission something - had the golden gate bridge as their logo and wondered what would be filling the space next - was super excited when I found out it was La Birria - their birria tacos are fire!!! I never tried the Birria Ramen so decided to try that yesterday and it was yummy! The noodles were nice and chewy - and I was suggested this jalapeño vinegar (I think that's what he said lol) but it was so delicious with it and I don't think I can eat the ramen without it now lol. I got my coworker the Strawberry Horchata so idk how that tasted but it looked refreshing. Will be back again! It was fast - thought the line was going to be out the door like the other day but it was pretty mellow, so now would be the best time to go. Place is not fancy - but there are some seats and tables in case you need to get your fix on there!

Went here with my buddy to try their three taco combo, finished it in 5 min and wanted some more. Great food.
