Don Pollon

Let's TACO bout one of the most popular birria spots in LA! Not gonna lie, most Mexican food in West LA tends to be extremely sanitized and Americanized, unless you're getting it off a street stall. I was so lucky that my apartment complex hired Don Pollon to cater from their food truck, and I was able to try out their quesabirria tacos. All the tacos were soaked in a tasty (and not oily!) consome, and contained a generous, even layer of beef and cheese. My quesabirria combo also came with rice and beans (which were a bit bland), and cilantro, onions and a spicy orange salsa. Service was extremely efficient and quick, and even with long lines, I received my order within 3 minutes. Unfortunately, they had a limited menu so I couldn't try their famous bone marrow tacos, but if you're lucky enough to be near them in East LA, I definitely recommend making a pit stop!

Bruh I am calling Cap on majority of these 1 Stars. A bad experience is a bad experience, I get that.But the food? The food here has always been fire. Yes its hyped, but its legit.Lets start with the must haves if you never been.The Bone Marrow Taco. You can get the plate, but unless its for sharing its overkill.Bone Marrow Taco is massive by itself, generous portion of the bone marrow on top of your choice of meat with a nopal(grilled cactius) salsa and acocado omgeee.Dont sleep on the ribs. These huge ribs are delicious. They have several sauces to pick from, sauces are put on after they are grilled.Also had a Tlacoyo, that was delicious too. Its like a thicker tortilla masa, with a bunch of toppings including nopal and avocado.I feel like this foos truck can have like 4 different food trucks with all the delicious items they sell.Pro-Tip: Get the ribs, but I suggest sharing so you dont miss out and sampe a few.Owner said their peanut sauce rubs are some of the most requested when they cater. Its nutty and spicy, kind of like spring rolls sauce but with a kick.I tried the mango habanero and it was fire.Its pricey, but the food is worth it.I usually come on weekdays to avoid long lines. Parking sucks, its basically look for closest street prking available.

Given all the hype on IG my friend and I decided to give it a try. We went earlier at 11 am given the reviews of long lines, maybe that was the trick, but we really didn't have to wait. The lady taking orders was helpful when I asked for recommendations. The menu on the side of the truck is a bit confusing the way it's laid out as is pricing. All I know is my carne asada taco with marrow + mulita + coke was $20. Also I should add I had limited meat options, perhaps it because we went early. Things tried:1. Carne asada taco with marrow - i wanted to love this taco, but it was just ok. It was a tad hard to taste the marrow with everything on the taco. 2. Carne asada mulita - I preferred this to the taco. Easier to eat and the cheesiness made it good.3. Bbq rib- I mooched off my friend and tried a rib. I wasn't expecting much, so was surprised when they were super juicy and tasty.All in all I'm glad I tried it, but maybe not my favorite taco place.

Finally made it to this place. I cannot even describe how good the food is. Very nice lady taking your orders. She even explained what you'll get. Sometimes the wild wild Los Angeles does have its perks. This is one of them

Taco truck cooking ribs and bone marrow? I'm there! We came around 4:30pm for a quick in between meal to try out some ribs and bone marrow taco. The truck is located on a busy street and not much parking, but it's worth the hassle. There are a few trucks on the street, but it's hard to miss a big grill, just follow your nose! There was a short line to order, but it took awhile for our food to come. There is a small table against the wall as well as a ledge on the taco truck for people to eat. The food grilling smelled sooooo good.Ribs come in 2, 3, or 5 pieces and we decided to get 3 pieces. It is $17 and it comes with 2 sides, we opted for rice and macaroni salad. We also ordered a bone marrow taco with carne asada and a carne asada taco. There are radishes, cucumbers, and salsa on the truck that you get. We waited awhile for our food, but it's likely because we were waiting for the bone marrow and ribs to be done. I think the ribs took longer because the bone marrow was no longer a meaty fatty goodness. The bone marrow taco is already taken out of the bone for you, which is nice, but next time, I think I'll order the bone marrow itself, so I can scoop it out myself and it'll likely keep it hot longer too. The bone marrow made the taco a little fattier/juicy, but that's about it. The carne asada taco was a little dry. Now the star is the RIBS! OMG it was so delicious! It was soft on the rib side, but very tough on the edges. I believe they cut the rib and continue grilling it, so each rib has a nice crunchy outside that is SO GOOD! The mango habenaro sauce complemented the ribs and is finger licking good. The ribs have a nice char and smokiness. Can't wait to come back for some more ribs!

Very good place to grub some Mexican style BbQ lil bit pricey but very good I definitely recommend it if you're in the area

Drove out here from Ontario, believing the hype. Was it worth it? No.My husband tried an asada taco with bone marrow and was deeply disappointed; just made it greasy. It was definitely not a $10 taco.We got a half a rack of ribs since they were out of chicken.The sides of rice smelt like patas sudadas .The ribs were dry and flavorless (asked for sauce on the side, because what better way to judge the flavor).Sincerely, we are over these tik tok/IG hyped food spots y'all want some delicious food? Head into the IE for JM el sinoalense chicken & ribs, because that's the true standard.We will not be back, nor do we recommend this spot.

Must try if your in East L.A The tacos and the ribs are boom. Even it's a food truck, There's tables if you want to eat there.

Flavorful and tender tendon. The star of the show is the beef and bone marrow tacos. Good people running the truck. Home made top quality tortillas.

Great tasting tacos especially the bone marrow. Mango habenero ribs were Def recommend to try it out.
