Why are you listed on Door Dash if you’re not going to be available to order food. Make it make sense.

The birria was delicious, the agua de horchata con coco was on point. We enjoyed our food, it was a perfect date night at LA Malcriada Birrieria, when we walked in there was one couple at a table then all of a sudden we brought a crowd of people behind us lol it got packed until closing.

This was my first time trying ramen birria, and I’m so glad I chose this place for it. I also had a quesadilla, which was excellent. They offer plenty of delicious options, and I would definitely recommend this spot to everyone!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at La Malcriada Birrieria and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and prompt service that made me feel instantly welcome.
The ambiance was perfect for both casual outings. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, always ready to offer recommendations and genuine sense of hospitality.
Now, the food—absolutely fantastic. Every dish had great flavor and the birria is made fresh daily and bursting with flavor. I ordered the quesa birria and it was cooked to perfection, with fresh ingredients and a balanced blend of spices.
Overall, La Malcriada Birreria exceeded my expectations in every way. Great service, delicious food, and a warm atmosphere make this a must-visit spot. I’ll definitely be returning soon!

Really good establishment. The taste is rich in flavor and nice quality. It has a good quality and you can feel fresh ingredients. It offers reasonable price and promotions each day in case that you want to eat something else besides birria tacos, also offers variable options such as pizza, tostadas, burritos, nachos and quesabirrias. Unlike other birria spots, this really has the most similar flavor like Mexican ones.

Went here for Sunday breakfast was super disappointed. The food is nothing special the birria doesn't have that flavor that wouldl keep you coming back. We had chilaquiles with 2 eggs, quesa flautas, small orden de birria. All of it was a let down in flavor just your average taco shop food. IDK how this place is so highly rated!

I was actually surprised how bad the food was. We had the shrimp & fish tacos. The pico de gallo had no flavor and, there was a mayonnaise sauce covering the top of everything that was really gross. Also very little shrimp. and the fish was mostly deep fried batter. We also ordered guacamole and we were hopeful because we were really hungry however did not eat it after tasting. I think it was defrosted from Costco. We were very disappointed. The woman who helped us at the counter was nice and I didn’t want to complain to her because she didn’t cook it.
