What a beautiful experience! From the outside, the restaurant is unassuming, but once you step inside, a narrow staircase leads down to a glistening dining room. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the food was truly delicious. The birria and mole were the best I’ve ever had outside of Southern California. I’ve never been to Mexico, but to me, the food had a warmth and depth that felt truly special.

The food is excellent and very reasonably priced. The space is nice but the music is too loud and rap-like, which is not conducive to having a nice, relaxed time, particularly in a basement location. The service got better as the night progressed, but it was disinterested for the most part. Friendlier service and more appropriate background music would make this an excellent place to dine with friends on a winter day.

Spot is great! My only concern is the hazard out in front. I live two blocks away and pass by on the daily. Every time I do, the fear I get with the cut, pointed, sharp pipe that's poking out this cement round worries me. There's a school a block away. Kids RUN, the winter weather with icy floors, snow, the rain. Even someone walking can trip. The thought of having that in the middle of the street seems crazy to me. Esp being an establishment that serves alcohol, even someone tipsy can trip. It's just something that feels very dangerous to me, enough to leave a review. Please remove that and find an alternative.

Absolutely amazing Birria tacos! Authentic and delicious, overstuffed and filling! The Cantarito Tradicional is my new favorite drink. Everyone on staff was so nice and friendly and the atmosphere is fun and inviting! Will be back when I’m back in the city!

The food we did receive was good (the salad and empanadas). Unfortunately, the experience was overshadowed by several issues. It seemed the team wasn’t prepared for a Saturday lunch service at 12:45 PM. My husband received the wrong dish, and what he did get was lukewarm. It’s hard to enjoy a meal when one person has to send theirs back and ends up losing their appetite.
I was surprised by how unclean the bathroom was. Even in the dim lighting, there was a large dead roach on the floor, and the air vents near the kitchen looked filthy. Had I seen the bathroom or noticed the vents beforehand, I wouldn’t have eaten here. It left me wondering whether the space is being properly maintained.
It’s a shame, I had high hopes for this place.
