Why Locals Love La Unica Birria De Res

Nestled in the heart of Denver, La Unica Birria De Res is a must-visit Mexican restaurant that proudly celebrates the rich, comforting flavors of traditional birria tacos. Located at 5000 Crown Blvd, this vibrant taco spot offers an authentic culinary experience that brings warmth and excitement to every bite.

The star of the menu is undoubtedly the birria, which has earned rave reviews from locals and visitors alike. Whether you’re indulging in the iconic Quesabirria tacos ($4.00) with their perfectly crispy, cheesy edges that envelop tender, juicy beef, or savoring the hearty Birria Ramen ($14.00) that masterfully fuses rich Mexican broth with savory noodles, each dish is a flavorful journey. The Consomé, available in both large and small portions, offers a warm, aromatic dipping broth that elevates the tacos to stratospheric taste levels. Fans often gush over the perfectly balanced seasoning — not too spicy or greasy — just a clean, deep flavor that comforts and delights.

Beyond birria, the menu boasts a tempting variety of authentic Mexican staples. Bite into a crunchy Taquiqueso ($3.00), delight in a stuffed Quesadilla De Harina ($6.00), or enjoy a substantial Burrito ($5.00) perfect for a satisfying meal on the go. For those seeking a heartier feast, the Libra De Birria ($15.00) offers a generous portion to soak in every drop of that luscious consomé. Complement your meal with refreshing beverages such as Agua De Piña or the ever-popular Jarritos, making every bite and sip a well-rounded feast.

The atmosphere at La Unica Birria De Res is casual yet inviting, often bustling with eager patrons who come early — there’s a shared community spirit here, especially on Saturdays when tacos famously sell out by noon. The staff adds to the experience with genuine warmth and quick service, making each visit feel like you’re stopping by a friend’s place for an unforgettable meal.

Customers like Jessica H capture the enthusiasm succinctly: “Tacos are always amazing and never disappoint… worth the drive and they’re still hot and cheesy when you get home.” Matthew Sotelo’s excitement rings true too: “OMG!!! Best Birria I’ve ever tasted!! Hands down Amazing!!” Meanwhile, Neil Robertson sums it up beautifully: “This may just be one of the greatest meals in Denver… the best food in Denver is found in a high school parking lot in Montbello.” Such testimonials underscore the authenticity and sheer deliciousness that make La Unica Birria De Res a local treasure.

Whether you’re craving comfort food that warms your soul or eager to explore Denver’s vibrant Mexican street food scene, La Unica Birria De Res promises a deeply satisfying, flavor-packed experience that lingers long after the last bite.

Tacos are always amazing and never disappoint. Usually go on Saturdays before 11am because we know by noon they are sold out. Worth the 18 minute drive there and home. Even with that the tacos are still hot and cheesy. Never a let down! The consume is the best for dipping your tacos and then a nice warm soup to wash it all down. Update- these birria tacos are still the best!

This may just be one of the greatest meals in Denver. Hands down! The birria and consomé is outstanding! All you need is quesabirria tacos with some consomé and enjoy some of the best culinary moments of your life. Yes, the best food in Denver is found in a high school parking lot in Montbello. Don’t you forget it. They do sell out. If you get there after 11am, your chances are low. After 11:30am: forget about it! If you arrive at 10:30, you’re in for a wait. But well worth it.

I've been going to La Unica for 6+ years now. After our first few visits the owner started to remember us and she would even begin to greet us by name. After our third or fourth visit she already had our order down. Best birria in town. Authentic and delicious!

Hands down my favorite taco truck in the Montbello area! The customer service is always friendly and the consume is sooo delicious. Of course, the tacos are good, too! They are typically open Sat and Sun at 9am until they run out. Tacos usually run out around 11am.!
