Caldos El Giro If you are looking for some great tacos and great Mexican soups this is your place. The location is small so seating and parking can be a challenge but worth the wait. They also offer to go as well. Things to note: you have to order at the counter before sitting. They will assign a seat to you. If you pay cash it's a lesser charge vs paying with a card. Prices are pretty typical compared to similar restaurants. They bring the food out to you but if you need anything else you go up to the counter. They have a table with to-go containers where you can help yourself which makes it really convenient. They play great music. Staff seems friendly but doesn't interact too much but I am sure it's because they are always so busy and always packing up to go orders too! The corn tortillas used for the tacos are much bigger than your traditional tortilla. They use the store bought ones for the soup orders just FYI. We ordered the asada tacos, gordita de papa con chile (potato with hot sauce) and a caldo de res (beef stew). We also added on chips and salsa because you don't get those complementary. Chips are good but the salsa reminded me of tostitos salsa. The asada tacos I personally think are the best but they offer a good variety of protein options. The avocado green salsa is a must! The gordita was not what I expected and will never order again. It had a very mushy texture and no flavor. They seem to have been pre-made with the toppings folded in versus stuffed in after cooking the gordita. Not to worry, the tacos and caldo made up for it! The caldo de res is always great.They loaded it with meat and lots of veggies. I have never had issues with their caldo or even their other soups like Menudo or Seafood soups! They provide tortillas, a side of rice, limes and a chili oil. The chili oil really gives it a kick so I recommend adding a little at a time.

I like coming here, except today I ordered some. Chilaquiles and it's too bad that the kitchen doesn't pay attention to the fact that without sauce they looked like chips. With a little

Caldos is fabulous!!Warm and friendly staff, family atmosphere.I recommend the Al pastor, asada, birria or barbacoa tacos. Quesabirria are also amazing. Consumé is fabulous. Horchata, etc. Pasteles also available!

I've been eyeing this place for awhile since I pass by it all the time and I'm glad I finally tried it! It's located in a strip on the corner of Division and 36th street so getting in from 36th street is definitely easier with the busy intersection. They offer dine in and takeout but you have to buy your food first. Not a big deal but I wish they offered chips with your food like some places do. The food was amazing and one of the best birria tacos I've had. The table has a variety of sauces and spices you can add to your food too. This is definitely the place you go to if you're craving soup or birria!

The place was PACKED and has good reviews so I thought food was going to be amazing. We are very dissapointed. We ordered 4 different things and they were all mediocre. Asada taco was dry. Menudo meat has a weird after taste and broth barely taste like anything, same with the caldo de pollo ?, rice = meh.
Happy Indigenous People's Day! The burrito was amazing. The meat is tender and seasoned well. Fresh ingredients! Definitely a hidden gem ? of a restaurant. ??
Love this place. Is like eating in home.
