Went here the other day for dinner. Got the tacos and tostada with Horchata. They were really good, and the sauce just added to it. Price-wise, it is a bit more on the higher end as compared to what is around in the neighborhood.

What's unique about this place than other vendors at Blossom Market Hall is that they have a self-order station which helps alleviate staff to produce orders. We ordered the queso-birria taco and carne asada tostada. Both were made-to-order and pretty tasty. I like that the consume was flavorful on it's own. Very decent sized portion and the tostada was still crispy when we started eating it. Would recommend giving them a try!

So when I went for the first time, i had the tacos (iforgotwhichone) i mean they were okay, nothing out of the ordinary. The next time, wow, the burrito? That is hella amazing. Now everytime i go there i get a burrito. Best burrito ever. I love the burrito. If i had to describe the burrito in one word, itd be good, nah, better than good, great! Hrmm, actually, amazing, or spectacular. Well nontheless the burrito sure is scrumptious. And the side if chips and sauce, o ma gah, i die of joy.

I've been here a handful of times and it's pretty good. My daughter likes the asada quesadilla, we get it for her practically every time we come to Blossom Market. My husband loves the birria tacos or the quesabirria and it's a must to order the consome as well. I usually get some asada tacos with no crema , just my personal preference! They are friendly and the food always seems fresh and consistent. It was about 20$ or so for an Asada quesadilla, Asada taco (no crema), 2 Birria tacos & Consome.

4 of 4 reviews, also see Blossom Market Hall, Manduyo, and Piccadilly Grace Yelp reviews.Quality/Quantity - Two Taco Plate, Birria, Al Pastor - Personally I would have ordered the 3 taco plate, but maybe my daughter did not expect to share...? Al Pastor was my favorite of the two tacos, much more flavorful and with a slight kick.Atmosphere - Small kiosk in the Blossom Market Hall. Just walk straight from the entrance and they are on your right. I believe it is the second business. Great job on this location.Open 6 days a week from 11am to 8pm or 9pm, closed Mondays.There was a stage for entertainment. Today was a Friday night, so where was the entertainment? I thought this was LA?2 floors, also a private room on the second floor for more events, or a rentable space, art gallery, etc. See website for current events. The meeting room can accommodate 60-100 people.Plenty of seating throughout. From picnic style tables, to regular tables, bar seating, etc.Also indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is also dog friendly.Large clean bathrooms.Community board, love supporting locals.I think they had free wifi...?Plenty of parking.I also like that employees have their own bathrooms, great idea!Service - Okay.There was also a team member stationed upstairs to clean and maintain the area.Security was walking the area downstairs.Self service water station.Price - $12.13 + tip.Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success and good to see a second generation restaurant owner. Also cool that you are from Vietnam but grew up cooking around Mexican culture. I also like how you linked your "website" on Yelp to Blossom Market Hall. This saves time and $$.

Let me start with wow, this Birria taco is a hidden gem! We came to blossom market to try a new spot but just walking by la Olla tempted me to try their quesabirria and I am so very glad I tried it. I found my new go to for birria. The taco I received was stuffed with hot melting cheese and super flavored shredded beef. The taco shell was thin and crunchy! If I didn't order a combo next door, I could have eaten at least two more of these amazing tacos.

First time here, and definitely my last time eating at this place. Aside from probably having expensive prices on average food you could probably get somewhere better at your local taco truck, there's this one item on the menu that caught my eye when I came in: Spicy Birria Ramen, boldly printed on a small sign right in front of you. Now when you think of the name of this, you might wonder if it's gonna be a genuine ramen bowl. Unfortunately that is not the case. Instead I was presented with a bowl of Tapatio instant ramen with birria and tomato salsa sauce in it, and I am pretty sure the soup base is just the prepackaged packet that comes with the instant ramen bowl. They did add a taco on the side, that was okay, but I can probably find better slop at Casa Blanca. To add insult to injury, all of this came out to be $14. That's right, $14 dollars for an instant ramen bowl you could get at your local 7/11 for $3 and a taco that is worth $2. TLDR: Food is misleading and below average, find better Mexican food at your local food truck. Tip: Always come to this restaurant with very low expectations. I can tell anyone who gave good reviews are paid to write good reviews.

Choose the lunch special. Fancy taco ? with amount of cheese. Quesabirra one is the best while asada and tinga are out of my expectations.

Seriously one of the best tacos (tinga) I've ever had and I'm from LA! Super affordable too. Gotta eat there though while the tortilla is hot!

Stephanie W.

Yes! Yes! Yes!!! So happy with this restaurant. Their tacos are fire. Got the special of the day with a chicken tinga, asada, and quesabirria taco and consommé. Every taco was delicious!

Stopped by for the first today and the service was good and the food came out fairly quick. The Quesabirra tacos were amazing! The consume has a little bit of a kick but was very flavorful. The tinga and asada taco we're just ok. Nothing to write home about but we will be going back just to get more of those Quesabirra. I definitely recommend checking this place out.
