tl;dr the delicious, albeit expensive, bone-in birria overshadows the forgettable fried tacos or the tomato-centric consome Birria has earned its place among the most trendy of SoCal culinary buzzwords, and countless spots have popped up in and around the city. For an unpretentious, Jalisco-style take on the dish, try Birria El Jalisciense. This Saturday-only Olympic popup offers its bone-in, twice-cooked birria tatemada (roasted goat birria) paired with a traditionally Jaliscan, tomato-forward consome. The trim operation sets up shop within the recess between a rundown welding warehouse and an industrial laundromat. Driving down Olympic, you won't miss the all-caps "Birria de Chivo" sign propped up in the back of a metallic blue pickup truck. The makeshift checkout counter is cobbled together from pop-up tables and portable kitchenware, and folding chairs are scattered across the adjacent sidewalk underneath E-Z UP canopies. Order off the laminated printout menu, and the staff will add up your bill with pen and paper. Even at the ungodly weekend hour of 8AM, a loyal customer contingent indulges while listening to the blaring public radio on a loudspeaker. My partner and I finally gave Birria El Jalisciense a try, and we faced the smallest of queues at 9AM. We opted for the #2 combination platter (a mix of bone-in and boneless birria, with a side of consome), 2 fried Tacos Dorados, a Taco Suave, and a Quesabirria taco. Within minutes, we were handed styrofoam trays and paper plates, with, curiously, only a single plastic spoon to share. We were most impressed with the succulent, skin-on ribs and the melt-in-your-mouth rich soft taco. However, we were less keen on the not-quite-crunchy tacos dorado or the dry, tough maciza (boneless meat). Furthermore, I was slightly put off by the consome, which tasted more like minestrone than meat drippings. Our bill rounded up to $30, and we were admittedly left peckish afterward. The best bites were well worth the visit, they were too few and far between to leave Birria El Jaliciense a rave review. Lean heavily into the bone-in birria, and you will get the most bang for your buck.

Really delicious. I'm glad we got to stop by here when we did. There was a line up but it didn't take too long to get our food. They hand you a number and you wait up front for your food. A simple table and seating set up for eating outside under a couple portable gazebos.

The birria is delicious but u have to be there early because it is so delicious that it finished really quick. Prices compare with other places are not bad at all and it is really worth it to be there on time. The salsa rroja flavor is a little spicy but it have a really good flavor that is hard to stop eating it. and the consome flavor is not far behind it only needs a little lemon and you will enjoy it but if you go for a little cilantro a d onion in it it will be amazing
