“Stopped by here for some dinner. They have different size portions of birria that you can buy. I got the 3 birria one and had a lot of leftover meat to take home. The meat was very tender. The limes were dried out tho which kinda sucks. The salsa was fire and deliciously spicy.”
“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.”
“Dine in or takeout really good tacos, and the bone broth consomé is not only healthy it's good tasting carefully with the chile sauce ask for it on the side cause it can get very Hot, add to taste, they add cilantro onions and lemon juice it's made to order though costilla(rib) is awsome”
“Family restaurant with great seasonings and amazing staff!”

“If you’re looking for some delicious authentic Birria this is where you need to be!!! The salsa compliments the tender perfection of the goat meat and the homemade right in your face made Chips are good fresh off the grill. Nice portions worth every penny. Also The establishment is very clean and the staff are welcoming.”
“Hands down the best Birrieria in Chicago. I order the large plate and it came with a bowl filled to brim with birria and savory consume. The roasted peppers, sauce and tortillas seal the deal. I was full by the end of the plate. Overall i spend about $20 for the large plate and drink which i beleive is well worth the price. If im ever around the area im definitely coming back. Also, the service was phenomenal. Highly recommend!”
