“10/10 Ordene un plato de birria de chivo y estuvo delicioso. Llege a las 3pm un sabado y me atendieron a los 2min de llegar. Tienen una mesera que da excelente servicio al cliente subanle el sueldo 🙃 -Agua de horchata 💯. (Si pudieran arreglar el sonido de la puerta al entrar estaría excelente, tiene un sonido molesto cada vez que una persona abre la puerta jaja)”
“Tried birria tacos, they were delicious. I’ll be stopping by as often I can.”
“Best ive ever had . I orderd 2x Rib meat tacos, 1x tongue and 1x cheek taco.”
“Absolutely Amazing! The best birria I've ever had! Both the quesabirria & the taco de birria were perfect! Best birria I've had to date. The waitress was a sweetheart, and the cooks were cool, the place was nice and clean especially with the flow of traffic that they had coming in on a Saturday afternoon. The price was surprisingly good. I wasn't shocked when I saw my bill. I can't wait to go back.”
“Delicious birria de chivo had it in a bowl with cilantro and onion and bomb tacos de cabeza my first time here will definitely be coming back for some quesabirrias”
“From food to costumer service, this place never disappoints.”
“La verdad está muy rica la birria y las quesabirrias ni se diga buenismas.”
“El lugar siempre esta lleno pero atienden rapido , aun que la mesera esta atareada le pedimos 2 veces tortillas y no las llevo ya que estaba muy ocupada y mi comida de I frío , el agua de horchata sabe mucho a cebolla el sabor realmente de el agua es muy malo, pero salsa verde 10 de 10 !!! Aclarando la señora es muy amable pero si tiene mucho trabajo”
“And finally got to this spot just to find out how bland their tacos were, I ordered goat taco and cow cheek taco they were both so bland I couldn't tell one from the other tortilla was hard on one of them, restaurant is very crowded limited seating limited standing. I hope you guys have more herbs and spices because this can't compete with most places that I've gone to, big portions.... But seriously lacks pizzazz and seasoning.”
“Birria, and tacos de cabeza,lengua,and Birria are the amazing.....”
“This will always be my go 2 wen ever I want birria. Best birria ever. I will always remember Don Ramon. Either he was on commercial or he was on 106th. He was the best I can say I personally knew him n proud to have meet him. Simpre estara en mi corazon Don Ramon.”
