“A joy of food, the flavor is all there. It's the best birria I've ever had, the quality is outstanding if a little expensive. I wish there was just a bit more meat in the quesabirria!”
“Drove up here as we were missing our burria from their Southside location. Amazing food!! Its been way too long. Best ever. Great conversations with staff. Have the large plate which made 5 tacos and got extra consumme for extra dipping. Tried their flan for the 1st time. Wow!! So so creamy and smooth with a great caramel flavor in the sauce. Yum! Bought an extra order to take home. You have to try it! Picture doesnt do it justice.”
“Easily the best taco I've ever had. The staff was really kind!”
“Easily best birria I’ve had, just super tender and flavorful. Service was great too.”
“Unbelievable tacos. This birria restaurant is the definition of homemade from everything to their meat to their tortillas. There’s only counter style seating, but the service is very fast and friendly. I ordered the large plate bone-in and was treated to a grand portion of goat meat. There was easily enough to make five tacos stuffed with meat with the warm, freshly pressed corn tortillas served on the side. The meat is immensely juicy and tender. The birria broth is so savory and rich with a bit of delicate sweetness. The aroma was truly potent. The tortillas are also amazing. They have a wonderful texture and hold really well even when loaded with a mountain of toppings. Some of the best tacos I have ever eaten!”
“Everything was better than i could have hoped for. Staff was extra friendly, i wanted a shirt and they did everything they could to make sure I got one even tho the shirt was not available. Food was great, I was skeptical because I dont usually like goat but it was GREAT.”
“This was the highlight from our trip to Chicago! The combo Green Mill + Birreria was the best, because Juan made our experience perfect. We had quesadillas served with THE BEST SALSA I have ever tasted! Honestly, please pay a visit if you go to Chicago 🤍 Thank you, Juan!!!!!”
“Seriously good birria in a snug counter spot! We ordered two plates of birria and a cheese quesadilla and everything hit - the birria was rich and flavorful with huge meat chunks and tender texture covered in a savory broth, and it paired perfectly with fresh corn tortillas and the salsas on the side. The quesadilla was crispy and packed with gooey cheese. A hearty meal that really blew me away. Can’t wait to be back!”
“Wow. Just wow. Best Mexican I’ve ever been to. Nothing else to say. Taco de cabeza ♥️”
“Comer aquí hace que todo el viaje valga la pena 😋😋😋😋 comida echa con amor y cuidado en todos los detalles. Me encantoooo si. Duda la mejor birria y la cabeza está deliiiiii. Ubicado justo al lado del mítico bar de Al Capone ellos son las mafia del buen sabor, calidad y tradición”
