About Birria Landia
Birria-Landia Food Truck first rolled onto the streets in the fall of 2019, making its debut in the lively neighborhood of Jackson Heights, Queens. Founded by brothers José and Jesús Moreno, natives of the small town of Coatzingo in Puebla, Mexico, the truck is a testament to their deep-rooted culinary passion and expertise. With backgrounds in American and Italian cuisine—shaped by years of experience in esteemed New York kitchens like Lupa, Parm, and Del Posto—the Morenos bring a distinctive flair to their menu. In 2013, José helped launch Eataly in Chicago and later led its expansion to Los Angeles. It was in L.A. that he fell in love with Tijuana-style birria de res, a rich, slow-cooked beef dish marinated in a complex adobo. At Birria-Landia, this mouthwatering birria—made from brisket, shank, and top round—is cooked for five hours daily to achieve its tender, flavorful perfection. Each taco is meant to be dipped into the savory birria broth, or consomé, adding an irresistible depth to every bite.
