La Casa Birria Garfield NJ: Our Pick For The Best Birria in New Jersey

We set out on a mission to find the best birria in New Jersey, and all signs pointed to La Casa Birria in Garfield. This spot calls itself the “house of birria,” and after eating our way through the menu, it is clear they mean it. From birria ramen to tacos, fries, bowls, and more, this place is built for anyone who wants that rich, slow-cooked flavor in every form possible.

Before the food even hit the table, we started with their chocolate horchata and strawberry horchata, two drinks that already make La Casa Birria feel different from the usual taco stop. Sweet, refreshing, and a little bit extra, they set the tone for everything that followed.

Birria Ramen and Signature Birria Tacos

First up was the birria ramen, steamy and rich. Imagine a deep, flavorful birria consomé wrapped around noodles, with tender meat in every bite. It is cozy, satisfying, and exactly what you want if you love both ramen and Mexican flavors.

Of course, we had to try the birria tacos, the dish La Casa Birria is known for. They delivered completely: crispy tortillas, stretchy cheese, juicy birria inside, and a side of consomé for dipping. Each bite is crunchy, cheesy, and soaked in flavor. It is the classic birria experience, and they absolutely nailed it.

Loaded Birria Fries, Burrito, and Surf and Turf Vampiros

Then the menu went full send.

The loaded birria fries came out buried in meat, cheese and toppings. Every forkful had a bit of everything and they disappeared fast. If you like over-the-top comfort food, this is your move.

We followed that with the loaded birria burrito, a heavy hitter stuffed to the max. This thing is a full meal on its own, packed with birria, rice and all the toppings you would expect. Big portion, big flavor.

One of the most fun orders of the night was the surf and turf vampiros. These are crispy, open-faced tortillas stacked with birria, seafood and fresh guacamole on top. Crunchy base, smoky meat, a bit of ocean and creamy guac to finish. They look good and taste even better.

Loaded Birria Bowl and Dessert

To bring it all together, we ended the savory side with a loaded birria bowl. Think of it as the “everything in one place” option. Birria, rice, toppings and all that flavor layered into a single bowl. It is the kind of dish you order when you just want it all and do not feel like sharing.

For dessert, we kept it classic with fresh ice cream and churros. Warm, crispy churros dipped into cold ice cream after a full birria feast is exactly the ending you want. Simple, familiar and perfect.
