Birria LES: Discover Authentic Halal Tacos in NYC

Some of the best birria tacos I've ever had. The meat was so juicy that these tacos could very well have legs beyond the consome. Highly recommend adding cheese to your tacos. After telling myself I'd be done with one taco and an empanada (equally delicious, though a bit greasy), I decided to go back for one. Beware, there is little sitting room, so you may want to grab-and-go. Service is quick.

I had been wanting to try this place for months and went to NY from MA for a day trip. My husband had the tacos and I had the grilled cheese with beef and it was some of the best birria I've ever had. The man working the front (I didn't catch his name) was super kind and hooked me up with their homemade flan. I will be going back there every time we go to the city.

These are truly some of the best tacos I’ve ever had. Being vegetarian, it’s difficult to find sufficient options when out with friends, but the vegetarian taco and Hot Cheeto esquite here are impeccable. Esquite was so good, we had to order 2! I found Birria Les in July with two close friends before we went off to college and once we returned for winter break, we came straight back. HIGHLY recommend dining here!! Portion sizes are perfect and price is affordable as well!!

This is the top 3 places we visited while In NYC. Finding halal food can be a challenge for people coming from London- I thought halal birria was out of the question. Such a gem , the lady working from tills was kind and informative. The food was delicious and so yummy, 2 years on and I still think about it . Went there twice (we stayed in diamond district and still travelled to eat here) consome so lush and rich , birria was perfect !

I ordered some food earlier tonight with some friends of mine and it was the best thing I’ve ever had. I ordered the Birria Grilled Cheese with chicken and it was the best thing I’ve ever had: Healthy portions and just that one item is enough to fill you up. Has a bit of a kick with the sandwich alone if you’re not used to spicy food already but definitely order that with the small birria dipping sauce and a Jarrito on the side. The garlic bread was toasted and soft and the chicken was really seasoned and soft. Seating is limited but the food is so delicious. It was the first time eating at this food spot. Next time, I’m gonna order the tacos for sure.

The beef birria tacos were class, rich, tender, and packed with flavour, easily the highlight. Portions were solid and everything tasted fresh. The server was really helpful and friendly, which made the experience even better. Seating is quite limited, so it's more of a quick bite or takeaway spot, but the food more than makes up for it. Would definitely come back!

Absolutely loved the birrias. They were perfectly seasoned. I had my tostada after a while and still it had amazing crunch! My partner loved his veg tacos and thought it was very well balanced

I was visiting from Toronto, Canada and kept hearing great things about Birria Les, so I decided to stop by. This place serves some of the best halal birria I have ever had. As soon as I walked in, the smell coming from the kitchen told me the food was going to be good. The staff were friendly and quick, and you can tell they put real care into the food. I ordered the birria tacos with consome and they were incredible. The tortillas were crisp, the beef was tender and full of flavor, and the broth had a rich taste that made every bite better. The portions were generous and everything tasted fresh and well made. I also tried the quesabirria and it had the perfect mix of cheese, beef, and crunch. The space has a real New York vibe. It is small, energetic, and focused on serving quality food. You can see the kitchen right in front which adds to the experience. The location on Rivington Street is great for grabbing a quick bite that still feels special. If you are looking for delicious halal birria in the Lower East Side, this spot should be at the top of your list. I will definitely come back the next time I am in New York.
