Why AJ's Tacos why was this picked
AJ's Tacos on Sullivant Avenue in the Hilltop bills itself as a birria and grill, centered on slow-stewed birria, crispy quesabirria and street tacos. It also runs a food truck, often parked at Echo Spirits Distilling, and truck orders are handled separately from the restaurant. The team invites diners to ask about ingredients and halal options before ordering, and it posts current hours on Facebook rather than its site.

Know before you go
We order quesabirria with consomme at AJ's Tacos on Sullivant Avenue when the craving goes wider than a single taco. The Hilltop restaurant grew from a food truck, and street tacos and bowls still sit at the center of the menu for west-side nights. A meal for two usually lands in the $$ range, and the team can answer dietary questions if you ask before you order.
Hours are not pinned as a fixed weekly grid on the business site, so call or check Facebook before you go. Service is walk-in with online ordering for the restaurant (the truck at Echo Spirits is a separate schedule). Park along Sullivant in the Hilltop. Compare it on our best Mexican food in Columbus list if you are choosing among birria specialists.
