We traveled from Florida to New York for a friend's bachelorette trip, and late at night, we were searching for a place to eat. Just two blocks from our hotel, we found Birria LES. We ordered the birria tacos and chicken tacos, and they instantly became some of my favorite tacos in the New York City area. They were packed with flavor and tasted authentically Mexican, The birria wasn't greasy but still incredibly flavorful. The service was fast, and the prices were comparable to what we'd pay in Florida. If you're looking for a great late night bite or a delicious lunch, this is the place to go!

Came to this place on a whim. I got an Al Pastor taco & my husband got a beef empanada. Took a few bites and were blow away by the taste and how juicy they were. Came for a quick bite, but couldn't resist getting our seconds. So amazing. Plus, they have pineapples in the al pastor (not all places do this), just the way I like it. Will definitely come back for more. Staff were nice and it's at a convenient location in St. Marks. It's a grab & go/sit anywhere with no tip type place. Will definitely come back.

As a Californian transplant in NYC, I was so glad to find birria tacos that hit the spot! This place was still popping late at night but we managed to get our takeout pretty quickly. I still prefer the beef to the chicken but both were tender and well seasoned. Loved how the beef was lean for the most part with lots of cheese. The consomme was hearty and flavorful, although I wish it had more onions. Unfortunately they packed us 4 tacos when we ordered 6, and didn't realize until we got home, but we were able to get a refund promptly after calling them. The store itself has some table seating as well as some high top counters. Something about the loud Spanish music with the taco aroma really amplifies your hungry while waiting for your food! Definitely want to try their elote and shrimp tacos next time!

birria restaurant has the most fantastic! Each taco is bursting with rich, savory flavors that make every bite a delight. The burrito was also outstanding - filled with fresh ingredients and just the right amount of seasoning. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The restaurant itself is clean and has seating

This place is now one of my faves in the city. The outside fools you, you think it can't be that good inside. Lemme tell you, these cooks know what they're doing. What a fun concept to mix Birria with toast or bread or dumplings. I'll come back and try more from the diverse menu. I got the slider, taco, and tostada. Tostada is ok, but the taco and slider were incredible. The slider has the softest bun ever. Friendly service with a smile.

Stopped in for a quick snack before going to a concert at Webster Hall. Got the hot Cheeto elotes and beef birria dumplings. Both were amazing! The consumé for the birria dumplings was flavorful and delicious. Elotes could have used extra lime but overall was good. Got the food quick and easy. Inside is small but we were able to find seats Great stop if you are in the east village. Wish we tried the birria tacos, but will definitely next time.

I'd been wanting to try Birria LES for probably the last 6 months. The Beef Birria Texas Garlic Toast Grilled Cheese definitely made the visit worth it. The garlic paired with the beef was genius. I need to try the sliders next time. I was excited for the Beef Birria Dumplings because social media posts about them was how I originally learned about Birria LES. However, after eating the birria grilled cheese, the dumplings just didn't compare. The dumplings were flat and soggy. While they were good, they didn't stand out to me. There was plenty of seating open on a rainy Saturday, but since we had a bigger order, there was a bit of a wait for our food. The sound of people dropping their glass bottles into the can by the fridge can be a bit loud, so I would sit further away from the fridge if that would be offputting for you.

Stopped here for lunch on a Friday. We usually walk by a Birria place on our way to Grand Central, so seeing this as a must-try we worked it into the schedule. Not a large place- which really no places in NYC are, but just enough room to sit and eat without being overly crowded. Got two beef birria tacos with consumé, as well as esquites and a couple Jarritos. The beef birria tacos were very good - and they got our order inaccurate so I got an extra one. Overall this was good - price point was a little high but worth it to me. Would return.

The birria tacos were yummy but they were exceptionally good after dipping in the consomé. A flavorful combo that you shouldn't miss. FYI all the meat used are halal! This is a great quick bite spot for cheap eats before I get my pay check. ＊Beef Al Pastor Birria Taco** ＊Chicken Birria Taco The taco shell was thin and slightly crispy. I was really skeptical about adding pineapples to beef tacos (I don't like pineapple...) but the fruit actually went along well with fresh cilantro and meat. For the protein choices, the slow-cooked pulled beef was so juicy and tender. We found the chicken a bit dry, but it still tasted delicious after dipping in the soup. Both the meat and the sauces served on the side weren't spicy. ＊Consomé (small) There were plenty of shredded beef and cilantro in the consomé, so so so flavorful. I felt like a small size was good enough for dipping, as it was quite salty to drink the soup by itself.
