I was kind of excited when I came across this birria tacos truck in the Sunset Park area one night. Before this, the only Birria tacos that I had was the mega popular Birria Landia in queens which is a bit of a trek for me living in Brooklyn. I know that Birria Landia opened up a satellite truck in Williamsburg, Brooklyn but that is still further than a short hop away when I have the munchies for these type of tacos. Now, this truck is just a short drive away for me.I ordered 4 tacos and a small consome. After tasting it, I am sad to report that I might still have to go back to Queens or Williamsburg to get my Birria fix.The tacos was just normal tacos seemingly just dipped in their consomme making it a wetter taco with a bit of extra flavor. The taco itself was missing that satisfying crunch that Birria Landia have despite the wetness saturating the tacos. Don't get me wrong, it was a good taco, but I would not exactly call it birria tacos from my past encounters with them.The consomme which is the stew that you could dip the tacos for added flavor or just consume alone as a regular soup, was watery and does not stick easily to the tacos. The flavor was also pretty mild and not as strongly seasoned as the other ones I ate before finding this truck.It is a new truck, so I am hoping that they would be able to improve their recipe over time. I wish them the best of luck. - Wing L

What is Worth Choosing

For a first-time visitor to Tacos de Birria Los Toritos, the main decision revolves around maximizing the Birria experience while appreciating the great value offered.

You should start with the core offering: the Taco Birria ($3.00) or, for a cheesier experience, the Quesotaco de birria ($5.00). These prices represent fantastic value in the New York market. The individual tacos allow you to sample the signature meat and determine if the style—described by some as having a softer tortilla texture and milder consommé flavor compared to other highly hyped spots—suits your personal preference.

The highly recommended approach is to build a satisfying meal by combining a few different options:

  • The Birria Trio: Order a couple of the signature Taco Birria ($3.00) and one Quesotaco de Birria ($5.00).
  • The Consommé: A Consomé SM ($4.50) is essential to the Birria ritual, used for dipping the tacos to enhance flavor, or sipped alone as a comforting, savory broth.

For those seeking a larger, more filling meal, consider one of the Birria-stuffed options like the Burrito de Birria ($12.00) or the Torta de birria ($12.00). If you are dining with a friend or are simply very hungry, the Pizza birria ($13.00) is a unique, shareable, and indulgent choice. Overall, Tacos de Birria Los Toritos is worth choosing because it provides an incredibly affordable and convenient gateway to the Birria trend, serving up generous portions of comforting food in a welcoming, casual Brooklyn setting. For a no-frills, satisfying taco experience without the need to travel far or spend a small fortune, this Sunset Park spot delivers excellent results.
