“When I tell you the goat quesabirria tacos are thee BEST I’ve had EVER”
Don Luis has way after flavors and food found this place due to them being close save your money their Birria is not good no melty crispy cheese lack’s flavor they cook with their hands no gloves.
I have gone here for years. Never disappointed until today 12-17-25.
This place really stinks don’t know whether is coming from the meat or the cooks Awful dirty they handle the meat with bare hands after cleaning their mocos don’t go, don’t get sick!

“This place is great, for all my first timers like my self this place is self seating in front or back .”
This place is great, for all my first timers like my self this place is self seating in front or back . The waiters are prompt, and great with their service. Now to time to explain the Birria, the most tender and season meat you have ever tasted with not fat just meat followed by the best tasting broth. The Birria is generally serve with onion and cilantro or what you prefer. The tortilla tostadas complemented the Birria better than regular tortillas in my opinion . I’ve been to several Birria locations in the Chicagoland area from Little Village, Archer Heights, Pilsen and West Lawn area, but this location hands down is the best. I will definitely visit this location again, fyi I drove 1hr to this location.

Aye, yall. Look. Don’t walk to this place, RUN! When I tell you the goat quesabirria tacos are thee BEST I’ve had EVER. I got goat cuz I love goat sooo much. The meat was tender and juicy even before I dipped in the consume. That goat lived a happy life and afterlife. I got the beef Birria for mi madre. They were meh compared to the goat. The meat was drier and more tough. Maybe if I had the beef only, I would give it a better review. 🤔 anyhoo, goat is the star. Horchata was good as well.

“A true East Side local place to eat.”
A true East Side local place to eat. This place has been here for many years and I hope it continues to stay. On very busy days like Saturday morning or Sunday morning there can be a long line (the line will be out of the restaurant). BIRRIA IS A GREAT HANGOVER CURE! Please do dine in, if you get the birria plates they can refill your plate with consome. The food speaks for itself. The staff is very nice. This place is a real gem and they now accept credit cards.

“I lived near a couple blocks from here for years and never stopped by.”
I lived near a couple blocks from here for years and never stopped by. I finally did today and I wish I had done it years ago. I ordered a large plate of birria and it was delicious. Came with some tortillas and crunchy tostada which is a nice touch, limes and 2 salsas on the side. The green salsa was good but not spicy, the red one however has a good kick and made the food better. I ordered a large container to go. Definitely coming back
