You could drive by this place for years and not know they serve one of the best birrias in the bay area. The closest thing you can find to Jalisco/Guadalajara. I love the complimentary bean tacos. I get chivo but they also have borrego on weekends. Ask for your cosume rojo or con salsita.

Don't let appearance sand location fool you - this place is off the charts amazing. I don't usually eat goat but the goat birria is absolutely incredible. Get it with some tortillas. Will be back!

This past Saturday Was my first time coming into this restaurant and I can say it was a great experience. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by a worker and was told to sit where I'd like. It being 10am, the ambiance was very peaceful with some Spanish music in the background playing and not many customers at the time. In terms of service I really enjoyed how quick they took our order as-well as brought out the food. The server also came multiple times to check in to see if anything was needed such as water or tortillas which made the experience good. Now in terms of food, I would rate it a 8/10 because although the plate looked very delicious, for $18 I expected more. The meat was only enough for 2-3 tacos so I had to fill them up with the rice and beans which is expected for it being a plate but I personally thought there should be at-least a bit more meat. The food was still very good though. And I really liked how the tortillas werent cold and was a great amount of them. Would I come back? My answer would be yes but maybe get a different plate that would include more meat for a similar price. Either way, I really enjoyed the experience and would recommend this spot anyday!

The birria is a 10/10 micheladas 10/10 they close early so it's better to go in the morning and it does get packed a lot of parking and they always give you a few complimentary bean tacos with very good salsas and fresh cilantro and onions , not your average birria this is authentic so it does have a bit of a smell to it .

Visited this place hoping for authentic birria de chivo (goat) and we were not disappointed. We were saving our appetites for a larger meal later or I would have ordered a full plate. We got the birria tacos and birria nachos. So so bomb! Especially when topped with the spicy house made hot sauce. The place was legit, and the staff was warm and welcoming. Don't be put off by what it looks like on the outside. This place is a gem.

Delicious food and super tasty. If you get here early enough they have extra crispy birria which is the best! Lots of options to choose from whether it’s birria en consomé, en salsa, salsa and consomé on the side and anything in between. Fast and tasty would come here again. Quick note that the parking is small so we usually park on the street
