Finally found a great Birria taco place that doesn't use TONS of condiments to make it taste "good", the quality of the food speaks for itself, and not as greasy as other places. Food is made to order, and their salsas are so good, they have 6 of them, from no heat to "La Llorona" aka it will make you cry, its spicy but you can definitely handle it if you like spicy food. The horchata is very tasty and they make it in house like their other aguas frescas. The owner of this authentic Mexican restaurant has been making food since 1985 in her home country and thank goodness she finally opened her own restaurant in I believe 2020. Will definitely come back and recommend it to all my friends!

Great service and atmosphere. First time trying birria dipped taco so not sure what to expect. It kinda greasy and dry hence the need to dip. But the dip was kinda salty. Guest not my thing but will definitely try their other items next time.

Birria tacos, consome and their cucumber pineapple drink are delicious.
Some items a little pricey but highly recommend to try them.
Unfortunately their fajita tacos and gorditas aren't so great so won't be getting that again. The place is set up nice and the staff is friendly.

So far the best tacos we have tried this trip. Great selection of different meats. My favorite was the barbacoa. The birria tacos and birria quesadilla were the best. Super friendly staff. No beer sold there but corner store had them and could bring them in. Def check this place out. Flavors on point and worth the trip. Lines can get long during the weekend.

Food was delicious, staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the food and story of the sauces and owners.
The colorful environment and clean establishment was a cherry on top.
One of very few restaurants that TASTES like authentic Mexican food, not Tex Mex.

Wow! This place is awesome and laid back! I received excellent customer service and a wide variety of salsa choices. I ordered the quesabirria tacos as I never tried them before. Man! There were delicious! Not as greasy as I expected with wonderful flavor and tender meat. I'm bringing my wife next time to try these out. Fully recommend this place just to try their tacos.

Taco heaven! My wife and I shared a barbacoa taco, tender and tasty. We also shared the quesabirria, three grilled crispy corn tortillas with beef birria and melty gooey cheese, served with some awesome homemade consomme, cilantro, onions, lime, and sliced radish. I've been curious about birria tacos and now I know we love them. Very nice people serving great food....we'll be back for more of these goodies. Check out my pics. They bring 6 bottles of salsa ranging from mild to hot and leave them at your table....yes I had to try all of them.....great stuff.

Sunday lunch on May 15th. Place was packed (also fairly small) but service was still pretty quick. We had a little bit of everything as we had a party of 8. Beef fajita was great. Carnitas were excellent. Fajita and queso quesadillas were also very tasty. Service was very friendly and helpful. Excellent tacos and great service. Highly recommend!

Oh boy. Amazing. Ordered the Quessabira, and wow..... this was delicious. The consume was unreal. You could just order that and drink it alone. What a combo. Wish there was a tiny bit more meat in the tacos, but can't complain. Would visit and order again!

Cute little spot for tacos. They have lots of salsas to choose from as well. Great decor as well. The tacos are a bit pricey for what you get but they are good and tasty. Candy is a bit expensive there too but all in all it was a nice place to eat, the service was amazing, the place was clean, and the food and salsas were great.

I didn’t take any any pictures so I had to screenshot my videos but you see that cheese?! This place is good I get the QuesaBirria every time I go! They have 6 different salsa and they all are good.. you should try mixing them all together it has a nice taste and heat to it.
