Reviews
"Had Al Pastor tacos, and a Birria taco to get a taste for the place. Al Pastor taco was abnormally greasy, and flavor was a bit bland. Birria taco was excellent, and meat was tender! Tortillas are crisped, and chips & salsa are scratch made. Not bad place but could improve on a few tweaks to the recipe."
"Came to this location on a work lunch. It was one of the coldest days of the new year. The parking lot was packed... we were still able to find parking for 3 big work trucks. They were really busy, and we had 5 guys. They put a table together for all of us and away from the door. The place was really warm. It's very authentic looking inside. Smelled amazing. The cook was alone with 1 waitress. They served 5 or 6 other guests before us but took our order and brought us chips and a ridiculously spicy and absolutely delicious salsa with house made chips... our food came out shortly after, and it was perfect. Everyone got something different, and everything came out together. I would definitely recommend this place if you want some delicious Mexican food. I definitely will be back."
"Good is great. Wish they had more space. Maybe the sandwich place next door can give up some of their dining room space since it looks like they are never crowded haha"
"Absolutely delicious spot! Authentic Birria, full of flavor, and sweet ladies working the front. Our server helped thoroughly explain how to order/ figure out what I wanted because I initially was just going to order birria, but what I really wanted was birria tacos Jalisco style- Jalisco style is cheesy and fried/ crunchy tacos. I almost accidentally ordered it soft/ regular by saying tacos de birria, luckily she asked how I wanted them! Lol. Regular is soft corn tortilla, which btw, their corn tortillas are nice and thick, you can definitely tell they’re made in house! We ordered a side of rice (no beans), 2 carne asada- grilled steak tacos, and 2 al pastor- grilled pork tacos with sour cream, and my birria tacos estillo Jalisco with the cosume/ broth on the side! They have both goat and beef, I opted for goat, you can ask for a mix of both, but I like goat because It’s more authentic/ gives that slight gamey flavor. All in all, super delicious place I will be stopping by again when I get the craving for some authentic yums! Upon reading some of these comments, my consensus is some people just need to learn how to order. I almost made the same mistake because I’m used to my gentrified way of ordering, but the cliché birria tacos we are used to is in fact Jalisco style- because thats how they normally prepare tacos- not only birria, in Jalisco. If you order birria that’s exactly what you’re gonna get. Birria literally means meat stew so gotta be specific when ordering. When in doubt, ask. We customers, aren’t always right."
"Great food, but be patient. That being said, the goat birria is some of the best that I have ever had. The 2 tacos "Jalisco style" are excellent to dip into that amazing birria broth. Food is 5 stars...but again, you have to be patient as you might have to wait for your food."
