Really good taste and good portion for a small Birria that is made with goat and the barbacoa is with sheep. Salsa is good and spicy. Will come back!

My son and I visited Chicago for the first time last week and wanted to try authentic South American and stumbled upon this restaurant and we were so happy we did. I had the most delicious birria tacos and I would highly recommend this incredible establishment. Thanks for a great meal and memory!

“Quesadillas de birria were absolutely amazing.”

Quesadillas de birria were absolutely amazing. Make sure you get the consomme to dip them in. The rice was equally amazing and the beans were a little runny, but still very good. One of my new favorite places.

“Absolutely delicious food.”

Absolutely delicious food! They only have a small selection of Mexican beer. Bud light and Heineken. They did make me a Michelada! Was delicious!! Just ask them to rim it with chamoy and Tajin otherwise I was refreshing! Service is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ You’re greeted with a smile! Great hospitality! The only downside is there refried beans a little soupy (but it tastes amazing) and it’s a cash 💰 only establishment. Other than that it’s a great location and they have plenty of staff for. Small business shows that they are super busy! Good for them. My first time here and I must say I DEFINITELY WILL COME BACK!!!

“Ordered some Birria Tacos after seeing some of the positive reviews.”

Ordered some Birria Tacos after seeing some of the positive reviews. The 2 birria taco came with a side of rice Ns beans. The tacos were flavor. The crunch of the taco was on point especially for me don g a carry out. The rice and beans were also good. My wife and kids ordered steak and chicken. Tacos on flour with lettuce tomato cheese. They were very delicious as well. The red and green salsa were a bit spicy but delicious. The place is small and doesn't have many chairs. The atmosphere seems authentic. Will come again!
