Benjos has THE best birria tacos I have ever had in my life. Not only do you have to go there for the food, the service is above and beyond every time, and a place you will be back to support (it's THAT good!) The owners work hard to make sure their passion shows through in their food, and their service. You won't be disappointed. P.s - get the jalapeños!
It has become a staple routine for me to visit Benjo’s for my taco fix every weekend, and they are consistently delicious and just generally amazing. Tacos are fresh, their honey lime slaw is super satisfying, and their birria bowls are SO filling and delicious - and the staff are always super friendly! Can’t sing this place’s praises enough - 100% worth visiting if your near Cook St Village (and you can grab a donut at Empire Donuts on your way out!)

Wow, this place delivers! Very tasty and authentic birria tacos. The space is a little hard to find, but it shares the inside of Empire Donuts. Staff and happy and work fast! Definitely coming back.

You walk in, it’s a donut counter, you swing left and then there’s a tiny window with a kitchen behind it, and you’ve found the taco goodness that is Benjo’s
So donut shop and taco counter: Okay. Let’s face it, you’re not coming here for the dine-in experience, and who cares?
The birria tacos are bangin’. First time, but I loved it. Ordered before I went shopping and it was done when I came back.
What’s really great is how thin and crispy the tortilla is, compared to many others. It really lets the cheese and meat do its thang. I’m not sure what the cheese is but it had more of a Oaxaca vibe to me. I’m not sure.
The pork’s what I had. Two. I found it pretty filling. Definitely rich and yum. Three would fill most people, I suspect.
Agreed with others that the slaw is a zippy, sweet and acidic departure from mayo. Nice contrast to the “hello arteries” birria delight.
Service was efficient and pleasant.
I’ll be back. But not in a menacing way. :)

So good, the spice is perfect and the bowls are 10/10. Glad to read the comments on the spice. Got extra lime crema to ram it a tad.
A fantastic spot to hit the needs.
