The driest birria tacos known to man. Extra $ if you want some birria juice on the side to dip. The restaurant is also super hot. Like 10 minutes sitting in there, with no one else around, is enough to start sweating. Can’t beat the prices though!!!

It was my first time here, and it was phenomenal. From the chips and fresh guacamole. To the tacos. We tried a few different ones, pork belly, chicken, beef. So yummy. Looking forward to trying more things on the menu

I ordered delivery and the tacos were fantastic! The birria tacos are beefy, the pork is porky and moist. The chicken taco is life changing with the juice, toppings, and delicate spice! The pork belly will also alter your brain chemistry. It melts in your mouth. 10/10 will order again and I will be visiting the restaurant in person in the future.
