“Después de mas de 10 años de no comer una vidrio de chivo de verdad. Esta virreria es la número uno. Se las recomiendo 100%. Vengan a disfrutar esta delicia.”
“Updated: We arrived at 425pm. Staff was already cleaning and the aroma of fabuloso dominated the smell of birria. Immediately we were told we couldn't dine in. I explained to two different staff that we traveled far to patronize their business and after much hesitation on their part they finally left us dine in. They told us we only had 30 minutes to eat. I felt very rushed and turned off by the smell of cleaner all while they cleaned and turned two other customers away. 1. Never turn away your customers. 2. Please let others know that you don't allow dine in after 430pm. 3. Clean AFTER you close your doors. Not a good experience but birria was delicious.”
“This place is warm and welcoming to all people. The food is authentic Mexican food and you can alter the spice level to your liking. This place gives you the best bang for your buck, and they offer free delicious consume refills with your meal. Also, each plate comes with a set of *handmade* tortillas!!”
“Can’t describe how amazing taste it …!!!!! It looked so busy when we visited but they work harder and kindly . I’ll definitely come back”
“My go-to spot for birria done right. When it comes to birria, everyone makes it a bit differently, and every place has its own unique flavor. This consomé is rich, flavorful, and always hits the spot. I ordered a large bowl of birria seca y maciza. The meat was phenomenal as always, tender and packed with flavor. The tortillas are hecho a mano, which really seals the deal. Always my go-to spot when I'm missing the birria from Jalisco and want something close to it.”
“I've been searching for these tacos for the last 16 years since theyd sell Barbacoa de res at the Maxwell St market downtown. I'm glad there still around. Tasted like I remember.”
“We random passby this restaurant, and shockingly the food is very delicious. Definitely we'll go back again here. It's highly recommended restaurant that wants to eat goat dishes.”
