The food here is like a hug to the soul. The birria is goat meat, it’s so tender and delicious, the consommé is delicate and wonderful as well. The small bowl will feed a regular person, only get the big bowl if you are really hungry. We also tried the tongue and cheek tacos, especially the cheek blew our minds. Their salsas are a tad spicier than regular salsa taqueras so beware. I would say come here twice, once for the bowl of birria in consommé and another time just to get the tacos. They are cash only.

Muy rica la birria, excelente para mí gusto, pero la atención de la mesera muy pobre, nunca fue a preguntar si necesitabamos algo más, y no estaba nada ocupado, más bien se la paso platicando con sus compañeros de trabajo en lugar de atender a los costumers

Fantastic tacos, pretty lackluster service considering the price.

3 birtia tacos and the broth for 20 bucks. Definitely not worth that price
