Fresh delicious Barbacoa tacos!
Everything was really good.

The tacos are small and I started out with 4, I saw a previous comment that the salsa was not fresh so I tasted everything individually, both red and green salsa are fresh, the red has a good kick to it and it’s really spicy by itself, but it’s in a taco, It adds a nice flavor.

Barbacoa is fresh, the onions and cilantro are also fresh.
I ended up ordering 4 more tacos for a total of 8.

Love this place and the people running it are always super sweet and welcoming. We get the by the lb deal and usually get 2-3 meals for the 2 of us. Cannot recommend them enough! You won’t be disappointed!

The food was delicious (the chili relleno burrito was the favorite!) and the service was top notch. The staff were incredibly kind, especially to my son with a disability.

Tacos the size of a female thumb. No consume served with my tacos, even though that is what I ordered. Meat was dry and lacked flavor. Decent service and salsa bar. Atmosphere is really bad. Reeks of fabuloso, to the point that you can’t taste your food and music was overly loud and obnoxious. They shut down multiple sections at 2 and left an offering of 4 dirty tables, even though they don’t close for an hour and it’s Friday. Also, they were cleaning and taking away the toppings bar at 2:00 PM, even though they do not close until 3:00 pm. Overall very bad experience and we won’t be back. We much prefer Don Choches, Rio Taco, New Mexico Beef Jerky, and this other Birria + ramen taco place near 4th. All the other places I mentioned make this place a very 1 star experience.

The most delicious, moist barbacoa we've ever had and the pecan biscochitos were excellent.

Honestly, this place rules. Just fantastic barbacoa. I will get 10 chile relleno burritos at a time and keep them in my freezer. My wife loves their breakfast burritos. You can also just get a big tub of it. It's great. For years, I would complain that they didn't bottle their hot sauce, because both the red and green are amazing - and now they bottle their hot sauce. It doesn't get much better than this place, can't recommend it higher. My one and only complaint is that I liked their old location in an old drive in restaurant on Washington.
