Halal Reviews for Birria LES Lower East Side

Amazing flavours, 10/10 couldn’t fault a thing. Every dish we ordered tasted amazing and the flavours were authentic and tasty. The consume itself was so delicious, I could’ve eaten it like soup by itself. The food was affordable and we spent about $45 between two people and were stuffed at the end of it. We got a mix of chicken and beef and enjoyed both equally. This halal Mexican food really lives upto the hype and its reputation.

The food is good but it ain’t that good. Over priced and terrible service. They’re stingy with limes and giving seasoning & the portions (see photos for examples). The birria trucks are a better taste wise and usually bigger. Plus homeless people are constantly walking in asking for money (at least 2 came in the span of 15 mins). Taste was fine and cleanliness was fine but the rest of the short comings don’t make it worth it.

We visited a small, cozy shop specializing in halal Mexican food, and it turned out to be a delightful experience. We ordered the beef birria tacos with cheese, the accompanying consomé, and a chicken tostada. Every dish was bursting with bold, authentic flavors that left a lasting impression. The beef birria tacos were especially outstanding-tender, juicy meat perfectly balanced with melted cheese, all wrapped in a crispy, golden tortilla. The chicken tostada was another highlight, offering a fresh, crunchy bite topped with savory, well-seasoned chicken and vibrant toppings. While the consomé was flavorful and rich, it didn’t quite stand out as much as the tacos and tostada, but still added a nice touch to the meal. Service was quick and efficient, and although the shop is small, with a mix of standing counters and limited seating, the vibe was warm and inviting. It’s the kind of spot where the focus is clearly on quality food made with care. Overall, if you’re craving Mexican cuisine and looking for halal options, this place does a fantastic job. It’s a hidden gem that delivers on both taste and atmosphere.

Upon a late night arrival, my siblings and I were uncertain regarding the authenticity of their online fame. We were welcomed with an underwhelming ambiance. The joint was deserted, except for two couples and a lonely customer. Knowing that in New York, the city where nobody sleeps, no gem is ever left without a line. Regardless of this unexpected scene, we put aside our dignity and dove into this Latino experience. The cashier, a welcoming presence, suggested their best sellers. Their famous beef birria tacos and sliders. The wait was short enough to be overlooked, but long enough to leave us unimpressed. Once our number was called upon and our fresh steaming platters presented to us, we were aesthetically pleased. When the time came to activate our tastebuds, they were incinerated. The scorching hot tacos burned through the flavor of the spices, but once they cooled down we realized that these WERE just any birria tacos. The taste was somewhat mediocre for the exorbitant price of 5$ a tacos. On the other hand, the soft pillowy bread of the sliders invited us into a warm soothing state of mind. Overall, what stuck to us were the small portions, the average taste and very minimal seating. It’s halal tho!

The tacos were literally so good omg. I have never tasted such yummy birria tacos. The mulita was yummy as well. Im def coming back. (Didnt take pics of the tacos, but did of the mulita)
