Great tacos, club like atmosphere. Came to talkin tacos to try out their tacos. They are great! Loved everything we ate. I wish the queso was a bit more spicy. The plantains were delicious and the tacos and birria were great! It is VERY loud in there too loud for my taste. When bringing the food out there was an item missed and we waited for a while for that item and the waitress could not hear us say that the item was missing when we let them know the first time. Food is great though!

The food comes out quickly and the ordering process is very easy. The location was also very clean. The staff went above and beyond despite being packed and they came to check in on us for refills as well. The food and service was so good we went back twice within the same week. We will definitely be going again.

Second time here, second time I loved the food. Very fresh and tasty, portions are good size. This time I had the taco trio with one mahi-mahi, one bang bang shrimp and one carne asada. All 3 were great. Place is nice, quite new and clean. Staff is friendly, well located. Couldn't ask for much more. Definitely recommend.

I can't lie, this is my first time trying this restaurant, and the baos were absolutely delicious, super juicy, super flavorful, and the sauce that it came with was great also. The french fries were average, nothing to really marvelous at. I will come back to try some of the other

Ambiance is small but powerful at night they have these cute strobe lights that give it such a unique vibe . We came in at 9:20 and it was busy. You order with a machine which is cool so that you get your order how you want and they bring it to the table . Horchata is good sweet and with the right amount of pulp to my tasting . The lemonade is sweet and sour. Place is kid friendly cool artwork. We ordered the birria pizza and baos. The birria pizza you definitely have to dip it in the birria sauce and not the tomato soup. The baos are fluffy and the meat inside of it is good The one The birria taco tortilla has a very strong flavor was to fond of it. Will definitely come back to try other things on the menu. Recommend

We had no idea this place was tik tok famous until we got there and my husband went inside and text me "it's crazy in here!" That is when I decided to google them. we ordered online, it lets you choose a time or asap is like 10 minutes. I chose 7:30pm... we arrived at 7:41pm, thinking that should we enough time, lol. We did not get our food until 8:19pm. It doesn't matter if you order ahead of time, your order still falls in line with all the orders at the actual restaurant as well. FYI- you order from a kiosk at the restaurant. Kind of like the mall but all by itself. Not a whole lot of space inside. The Birria tacos were very flavorful, the shells end up being soggy but that is probably due to travel time. The Mahi Mahi lacked flavor in the actual fish. The fish piece I thought was too big for the tortilla, making it messy and hard to eat. Overall I would go back and try again!

What a cute taco place! The birria tacos and quesobirria (I hope I said that right) were a hit with my 2 teenage boys who are pretty picky when it comes to trying new foods, and they ate their entire plate! We also tried the street corn - this is a must! The serving is a pretty decent size for 2, maybe even 3 people. The 2 ladies working the front were very helpful and friendly. They always checked in with everyone at their tables and never hesitated to assist at the kiosks which could be a little confusing. Just be aware that there are no soda fountain drinks available, but they do have bottled drinks, even the water. Next time we go back, I definitely want to try the rice bowl and nachos. Everything looks so yummy!

WOW! This place was amazing, 10's across the board. We got the birria loaded nachos and birria bao tacos and it was amazing. The birria is so flavorful and seasoned so well, I came with my family and Fiancé and none of us had any complaints! Don't forget to order the consume for the birria tacos as it did not come with it but the bao buns were so soft and perfect bite. Even the fries were seasoned very well and crispy! The horchata was very good as well but it was sweet and thicker than what I'm used to but it's still a great drink! The place is small with a couple tables and neon lights with disco ball lighting. They had good music playing and overall a nice place to eat at or do takeout.
Delicious! We all loved our tacos. The carne asada and southwestern chicken were both exceptional!

I first tried out this place last week as part of a Yelp Elite event and I knew I had to go back. The tacos ARE that good and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The "Day of the Dead" atmosphere and music adds to the ambiance of this little restaurant. When you enter, there are two kiosks for ordering and the menu is easy to follow on the screen, with ordering categories on the left-hand side. The screen also includes pictures of the food and drink items. As part of my takeout order, I selected the Taco Trio based on my initial visit), and I tried the refried beans this time, too. I chose the "Taco Trio" again and selected the Birria and the Carne Asada, but this time I added the Chicken Achiote (in place of the Mahi Mahi taco I had last time). The Birria is my favorite, and it consists of shredded beef and Chihuahua melted cheese, with plenty of shredded beef in the taco. The Birria also came with a wonderful consommé, perfect for dipping. The consommé is the au jus from the birria beef that is cooked for 8 hours, which gives it that flavor-rich uniqueness. The Carne Asada contained chucks of perfectly marinated steak with salsa verde and cilantro, and it was also quite tasty. The Chicken Achiote was a mixture of chicken thigh, avocado salsa, pickled onions, Cotija cheese and cilantro. The combination of ingredients in this taco made my mouth water! (Note: when ordering from the kiosk, you can select "no onions" and "no cilantro", but I heartly recommend NOT doing that because I think you would miss a lot of the flavor associated with these additions.) The refried beans were also flavorful, and I scraped my spoon on the bottom of the cup to get the last bit of them. Excellent addition to the SODO area and I heartly recommend you give this new business a try (or a number of tries)!

Food was Amazing! Best tacos I've had in a long time. Cedric and the staff showed exceptional hospitality to us on Valentine's Day. Definitely coming back!
