Master Critic Review

La Poblanita Birria y Antojitos 7.7
Sawtelle
A daytime food-truck setup known for rich, slow-stewed birria folded into a messy-good burrito. The consommé-forward style makes every bite deeply savory, with generous portions for the price. Great for takeout when you want something bold and warming.
Must-Try Dishes: Birria Burrito, Quesabirria, Birria Plate
