La Cocina del Abuelo - Food Truck - San Marcos, California

I’m a sucker for birria ramen. And food trucks with a no frills outdoor seating area that’s shaded. It’s a cute little space and I went around lunchtime and there was plenty of room so that was perfect for me. It’s a comfortable seating area by a quiet street so it made for pleasant dining, although I’m sure most people take their food to go. I like the space here, so I like to sit and eat when I can. Especially getting their food fresh and hot it’s a real treat. Back to the birria ramen. I got the larger one the Tapatio ramen with birria. Omg it was tasty. Simple and delicious, hit the spot when I’m in the mood. Second time I came here, I got the birria bowl. I just like their birria it’s a classic taste and generous meat portions. Love the sauces on the side too. Classic birria can’t go wrong. Next time I’ll try the quesobirria I heard that’s pretty bomb too. Quick and friendly service, great food, nice outdoor seating with shade. What more can I ask for. Return customer right here ♥️

Exceptional case of quesabirria, not much else to say. Better than 95% of the Mexican food I've tried in San Marcos. More places need to adopt this business model. Less extensive menu but do your specialty well.

I have NEVER eaten a burrito this good. I got a birria burrito. It was scalding hot and giant. Giant! It was so good. U didn't even need the salsa bc it was so moist and the lady was so wonderful. Thank u from someone who hasn't been able to eat much at all. Thank u so much!

So damn delicious. Good selection of ways to have the birria such as a plate with rice and beans, or a sampler with "one of everything".

Got the Birria burrito and Quesabirria. Huge portions with a ton of meat. The meat was very tender and the flavor was good. I should have asked for a side of the birria soup/sauce it would have made the burrito perfect but I was too hungry. Definitely going to cke back and try the ramen pizza or the bowl!

The food came out quickly, and came here 30 or more minutes before they close at 7pm but definitely worth a try.

So I ran into this place by accident trying to get a last minute meal. Was surprised to find it's location across from Costco along with two other food trucks. I ordered for my wife and child one quesabirria each to see if we liked it. And YES we did it was plentiful on the meat and flavor was great. Came with a cosume on the side to drink and dip the taco in. We ended up getting a second round and taking some to go. It is an external seating area with table and chairs. Alot of flies being it is out doors. If you are good with that this place was a "hit the spot" location. Look forward to coming again.

It was decent. I'm from L. A. so my standards for Mexican food are very high. Birria wasn't very flavorful, and didnt come with consumé. They also added beans to the burrito. Never had birria burrito like that.

Best Birria truck in North County hands down. We go here often. We’ve gotten the Birria Pizza, Quesabirria Tacos, Quesabirria Tacos, Birria Quesadilla, Birria Burrito, Birria Ramen, Birria Nachos. We’ve tried everything and it’s all amazing!
