I ordered on grub hub and it would have been good if the corn tortilla has some crunch it was limp and each taco had a double layer of limp. corn tortilla. The menu had other tacos but didn't say what was in them only gave a name like tinko tacos.whats in a tinko taco?

Great birria ramen. I also got a bowl to go which also was delicious. Highly recommend the birria ramen on a cold day.

This had been my go to place for boneless wings for over a year. I ordered some on super bowl weekend and they were not the same quality, we ended up tossing both orders. I ordered again this week thinking maybe there was an issue with food because it was so busy, but again the quality just isn't there anymore. Huge cubes of chicken not fully breaded, very dry. I won't be finishing this one either.

I was sceptical of the combination of food options but they pull it off. The food was excellent and the service was great as well. Ordered a variety of food for a takeout dinner and everything from the quesadillas to the Nutella calzone was delicious!

there were flies circling us, the tacos were dry, the queso was the kind you get for nacho cheese from the cinema, it wasn’t that good from what the 4.7 rating was. not worth it. spent $108.

I ordered food with my coworker from this establishment and both items were to include salsa, sour cream and pico. None of the sides aside from one cup of sour cream were included when delivered. The food was dry. The restaurant refunded ‘’ my sides’’ with $1.62 credit. This is my first and last time ordering from this restaurant.

I got the birria tacos and a quesadilla. The tacos were excellent and quite filling. You get 4 with the order. The consomme was very flavorful and delicious. I would definitely get these again.The quesadilla was good. It was filled well and very tasty.This is a place that i would recommend to anyone and will definitely go back to next time im in the area.

I've ordered from here twice and both times I had food missing. The second time i didn't even get my food. When I called to inform them, "take it up with Uber" is the response. I spent too much money for that to be your response. Maybe the service is better when you dine-in (I'm not sure) but on the delivery side of things, I will not order from them again.

I was hesitant to try this place, a mix of Mexican and Italian food? I don't fall into the worldwide scam that Italian food is edible. I avoid Italian food like the plague, it is all overpriced and made better at home. Thankfully, this isn't gross Guinea slop!I got the Birria tacos, 2 beef and 2 chicken. The beef is tender whole muscle braised, moist, tender, and packed with flavor. The chicken was also moist and tender, but with a different spice mix than the beef to really make it shine. Most local Mexican restaurants like El Charro, La Mexicana, or the old Poncho's use the same seasoning on everything. The spices used at Mexitalia accompany the meat, so it doesn't all taste the same. It seems like there is passion and care put into the cooking here you don't get at other local Mexican Restaurants. Of course the Consume was meaty and bursting with flavor, especially when spritzed with fresh lime. It was mild in spiciness, allowing the flavors to shine. The crisp cheesy tortillas remained crisp for the 15 minutes until I got it home, even after a long consume bath.The tamales are wrapped in banana leaves, rather than the typical corn husks. This allows them to be much larger than typical tamales, bursting with filling. Flavor was spectacular as well, but these are fork-and-knife sized, so don't expect a little handheld masa pocket with a little bit of meat. I ended up putting half the tamale in the birria consume and had a fantastic soup!Although incredibly full, I had to have a bite of Tres Leches to review that as well. It is the best I've ever had. Not cloying, but a perfect dessert to end the meal. The moist cake soaks up as much cream as it can and it cools the palate nicely.If you are like me and a millimeter of cilantro will make the entire meal taste like heavy duty degreasing soap, they actually listen and omit that, unlike most other restaurants. Jesus took my order, and was very nice and personable. I am full while writing this, but wishing I had a second stomach to fill with more birria. I will have to stop in tomorrow for Happy Hour between 1-5PM. A must try, don't let the name keep you away. I can't say anything about the pizza, I'll leave that to Dave Portnoy to try. Maybe I can find a Guinea: Pig to try the italian food. I'm sticking to the good stuff, and how good it is!
