The best birria I have ever eaten in my entire life. I've just been there for the first time and it's simply incredible. From the first place, I was involved in something difficult to explain, so many years passing and never having given them a chance or knowing the goodness of their food.

Easily one of the best bowls of birria I've ever had. The made in house tortillas are out of this world, with a perfect texture that soaks up the soup. I was very, very pleased with my experience with the staff, as well. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming, even checking to see if I wanted more tortillas. 10/10 experience, and I'll definitely be coming back with friends!

Food is very delicious ? no doubt about it. I got the birria plate large. It was incredibly delicious the customer service top tier. Excellent. Everyone is very friendly and has a great attitude. The only thing is no music or great scenery, very plain and no music is played, so all u hear is people talking. They can use some decor, but other than that, good food

The best I’ve ever had. Started with a small plate of birrieria, which they pour warm consume over at your table. It comes with all the taco fixings and amazing homemade tortillas. I also got a quesabirrieria and cebaza taco. The cebaza was amazing. Warm service and a special place. They have a small parking lot on the corner.

Absolutely amazing. Came in for lunch and finally had real birria not the beef crap they sell as birria in New York. The broth was so rich in flavor and they have homemade tortillas on the side. Also the hi is is drink was delicious. Workers were very friendly and spoke Spanish as well.

Got 1lb of birria and some homemade tortillas for takeout, and they gave us a small taco while we waited. The birria was amazing!! Homemade tortillas (12 for $8) were good but overpriced. The takeout came with cilantro, onions, lime, and some consume. Would definitely recommend! More than enough for 2-3 people.

Finally was able to come by to try the infamous birria! They were just recognized as a 2023 Michelin Bib Gourmand. My partner raves about this spot constantly, but they close by 6PM so get there early or plan for a lunch! The staff was really friendly and the atmosphere is very laidback like coming home for a family meal. There's a small parking lot on the left side and you can order at the counter. We started with the Quesabirria which was solid too with a slightly crisp outside with the melty cheese. The star of the show was the Large Bowl / Tazón Grande which includes tortillas, cilantro, onion, limes, picante hot sauce and arbol chiles. The goat was really tender and the consomme was flavorful. Tasted delicious. Also, the arbol chilies were definitely packing some heat!

I had recommended this place to my friends as they had never had birria before and this place did not disappoint! I had a smile every time I took a bite out of the tacos de birria. The staff were very friendly and nice, and the overall this place gets a 10/10 outta me. I can’t wait to come here again and try the

Disappointment is an understatement ? this is the last time I’m ordering outside of Little Village or Pilsen. Look how watery and clear the consome looks! Tasted like watered down tomato soup. I ordered from Birrieria Ocotlan for comparison and look at the difference in color. The one on the left is how birria is supposed to look. Disgraceful, Uber refunded me my entire order. Tasteless, with a hint of tomato. I was embarrassed revealing this meal to my family. Will never be spending money here again. Stay away, the 4.5 stars is wild to me tbh. No handmade tortillas either.

I finally got to taste the fantastic birria at Birrieria Zaragoza that many friends had recommended over the years, and it was totally worth the hype. I tried the small bowl of birria in consomé, which is a hefty size for a small bowl. I went with bone out this time, so next time I'm trying the bone in. Chiles, chopped onions, cilantro, and limes were brought to the table, and the small bowl was served with five fresh tortillas at a perfect temperature. I also tried the birria y cheese quesadilla (how it is listed on the menu) and had a taste of my partner's quesabirria. Everything was perfect in terms of portion and flavor. Just be careful to not get any of the consomé on yourself as you scoop birria into a tortilla (or that's just me being a messy eater). They serve various drinks, including Topo Chico bottles that perfectly complemented our meals. The ambiance is cozy as the dining space is small. Service is quick and the employees are kind. I felt a wonderful kind of full after the meal: the meal conquered my hunger but I didn't feel overly full. Definitely not waiting long to go back and enjoy Birreria Zaragoza!
