Teddy's Red Tacos

Last updated October 14, 2026

Teddy’s Red Tacos has taken birria tacos from a local secret to a full-blown LA obsession. What started as a humble food truck has grown into a citywide phenomenon, thanks to its signature deeply flavoured, slow-stewed beef birria served with a side of rich, savoury consomé for dipping. The tacos come drenched in red-tinted broth, giving them their iconic look and irresistible flavour.

The must-order? The Quesabirria Tacos—crispy, cheesy, and packed with juicy, spice-laden beef. But don’t stop there. The mulitas, birria burritos, and tostadas are just as good, all begging to be dunked into the intensely beefy consomé. For the full experience, grab a plate of “Teddy’s Combo”, which lets you mix and match different birria bites.

With locations all over LA, including Venice and Downtown, you’re never too far from a fix. But the original South LA truck is where it all started, and it’s still the best place to soak up the full, messy, glorious birria experience.
