“It's something about a place that has perfected their dish and this birria is perfect”
Hands down the best Birrieria in Chicago.
Amazing food and service - love this place!
Great place to eat good service everything tastes good.
This is the best birria. The taste is actually EXACTLY like it would be in Mexico.
I have been going here for years. Never disappointed until today 12-17-25.
Grate people Old School taqueria limited seats and the name says it all delicious Birria.

“Generous portions served.”
Generous portions served. Great customer service! I enjoyed the grande birria plate of chivo meat. You have a choice between beef or goat meat. My relatives enjoy the birria-beef tacos. I also really enjoy the tongue/language tacos. Oh yeah! They take both credit card and cash. I had a great experience! Disabled accessibility, too.

“Easy quick and delicious.”
Easy quick and delicious. It's something about a place that has perfected their dish and this birria is perfect. I'm a fan of a restaurant that smells hit you before walking in the door. We were greeted with delicious meat seasoning and cilantro. The team behind the counter were friendly and kind with my limited hearing and accent understanding...lol. I ordered 4 quesabirria tacos and a beef cheek taco😋. Everything was plentiful and delicious. We were stuffed after the tacos and can't wait to go back. The meat was very tender and pulled directly from the bone when ordering.

“Smaller than their location on Commecial.”
Smaller than their location on Commecial. Not as many COVID measures implemented compared to their other one. Taste, quality and presentation is as awesome. I easily found parking. Prepare to wait for a table.

“This casual, neighborhood restaurant does a brisk dine-in, carry out, and birrieria catering business.”
This casual, neighborhood restaurant does a brisk dine-in, carry out, and birrieria catering business. The goat tacos are generous and the consume is taste and smells of herbs and spices. Service is friendly and street parking is good.
