Birrieria Familia Castro

I just had lunch with my two daughters, ages 12 and 15. It was our first time here.

We ordered three plates: two 3-birria taco combo plates and one order of vampire tacos with chorizo. We tried all the sauces that came with them, along with a 24-ounce horchata.

My girls and I are usually pretty loud. We talk. We’re animated. We gush over the food.

But when we ate these tacos, we ate in silence because the food was that good. To speak would have taken us out of the moment. So we said nothing. We just sat there, lost in our own thoughts, luxuriating in tender meats, spicy red sauce, and complex flavors.

This is how you get tweens to enjoy family time: really good tacos.

And guess who told me about this place? The 12-year-old. Apparently, it’s trending. I recommend it too.

Food was truly excellent, especially the meat which was tender and the side sauces which added an extra element of flavor. The price is reasonable for the quality of the food.

Worth visiting this family owned hole in the wall establishment for amazing birria. I like supporting family and minority owned businesses. Had the quesobirria (like a quesadilla made with small corn tortillas folded into taco shape with the most flavorful beef birria meat in the middle). The cheese oozes off the tortilla and creates a crispy cheese crust in the cooking process. I'm really picky about my meat. I hate fat and other stuff that comes off meat but their birria was the most tender, pure beef cooked and seasoned to perfection. I've never had beans they way they made it. It was good but I wouldn't seek it out. Their rice was fluffy and perfectly seasoned. They had salsa in squeeze condiment bottles. The red salsa was my favorite. The green salsa had good flavor but was runny and so was the guacamole sauce. It was messy to eat with the juice of the birria with lime and sauces but so worth it. The restaurant gives you ample napkins in anticipation. Dining space is small but clean. Service was friendly. I parked on the street. Highly recommend!

Ordered the Vampiro Tacos with Carne Asada and A Chicken Quessadilla. So delicious! The staff is so friendly, checked on us regularly, and even gave us a complimentary beef soup they had made that day to try.

Highly recommend this hidden gem

I love that it's not just a taco truck and that you can sit down and eat but with taco truck prices. It's clean, new looking and the food slaps. The family is very warm and welcoming.
