We drive all the way to Little Village from the suburbs just to have the tacos and birria. Taste is consistent and me and the wife have been coming here for years!

WARNING: Staff are mainly Spanish speakers and so my SO had to be the translator while I nodded politely. Amazing birrias and lengua tacos (if I had to choose between the two, the birrias was better). Dipped with an equally amazing consomé that were spiced with dry chili peppers, this was an amazing restaurant that I would love to come back to. Service was immaculate and we were tended to quite often, the waitress was very nice and it was an overall grand ole time eating great Mexican food. The atmosphere is quite cute, nothing unique but it has the charm of a mom-pop, local business that has been a part of the neighborhood for a long time. Also dirt cheap compared to the ‘trendier’ taco joints around Chicago. Would definitely come again (with a Spanish speaker or after I take some more Duolingo classes).

“The birria is so deliciously well seasoned and the consomme that comes with it is packed with flavor.”

The birria is so deliciously well seasoned and the consomme that comes with it is packed with flavor! I prefer eating this dish as a soup with onions, cilantro and juice from a lime while some eat it as a taco! Either way you can't go wrong!

“The Birria is good and the price reasonable.”

The Birria is good and the price reasonable. Give you enough tortillas for your plate. Tacos are full of meat. Service its good. Only thing that gets crazy is the paying and the Togo. The line becomes 1 instead or having 2 separate ones. So you don't know which one is which. That's why I gave it a 4 star. Once they set that up properly it will be rank at 5. Weekends are pretty pack but worth it. And you don't wait long.

“Be prepared for at least a 30-45min wait.”

Be prepared for at least a 30-45min wait. Place is jam packed on the weekends and they are ‼️cash only‼️and parking is very few. Small birrea is $13 and comes with limes and tortillas (not made by hand) the tacos are $3.40 and very plentiful with their portions. The servers are very very busy and very short tempered … My side order or consume tasted like very strong clove spice definitely don’t recommend.

“Este negocio todavia vive como si el cilantro cuesta $1,000 por pieza.”

Este negocio todavia vive como si el cilantro cuesta $1,000 por pieza. pura cebolla y nada de cilantro para tacos 👎 Business acts as if cilantro is worth more than gold and give you scraps for tacos and a lot of onion, crazy how not a lot of people aren't complaining about this much

“I wish I could have taste it because I’ve heard great reviews but unfortunately I’m very disappointed in the packaging.”

I wish I could have taste it because I’ve heard great reviews but unfortunately I’m very disappointed in the packaging! The consomé was extremely hot that it ripped through the plastic cover and burned my leg. The young lady did a poor job in packaging that the brown bags ripped through all juices including tacos! I ordered ahead of time just to find out that my order was dismissed because she thought I was not coming to pick up, waited 20min for nothing! They were rushing order because it was close to closing Pure CASH too!
