Birreria Reyes de Ocotlan — neighborhood mexican in Pilsen. Sleek and intentional, with the aesthetic dialed in. Family-run, BYOB. Scott Harper: "The tacos were packed with tender, juicy meat—no skimping here—and the broth was rich and flavorful" [$, cash only]

🍷BYOB — grab a bottle next door, they'll open it.
💵Cash only — hit the ATM first, worth it.

They really need to be more proactive with their social media. This place has been here for a long time, and I only came because I was craving their food. When I arrived, I saw the sign that they’re closed, but there hasn’t been any update on their social media. I hope they’re remodeling because this place has been a neighborhood favorite for years. We ended up going next door to try the birria tacos, but I still prefer this place even if it’s cash only. I hope they reopen soon and keep everyone updated on social media so customers know when they’re back in business. Wishing them the best

We ordered the taco beef which was around 20 dollars. It had a lot of meat too that came with and the rice was soo good. Staff was great and helpful too.

If you're serious about birria, this is the spot. I swung by for lunch and grabbed a couple of goat birria tacos (chivo) and a side of consomé. The tacos were packed with tender, juicy meat—no skimping here—and the broth was rich and flavorful. They load it up with cilantro, onion, and a squeeze of lime, plus a side of pickled veggies to kick it up a notch. I spent about $15, and left feeling like I’d just had a taste of home—straight outta Jalisco.
