I came here like 5 years ago and today I came back. Man, these birria tacos are still amazing. The flavor is super good, the meat so tender, and the consommé just makes everything perfect.

I eat birria tacos in many places, but honestly here they are different — like more authentic, more tasty.

For me, best birria tacos in NYC. No doubt.

I really want to give this place full stars, because the atmosphere is great, and the portions are generous. I had an amazing brisket, but my tortillas were moldy. I kind of expected some kind of discount or freebie when I told the waiter, but nothing.
August 2025
Handmade tortillas pressed to order—the al pastor tacos are juicy with just the right char. Salsa bar has six varieties, from mild to tear-inducing. Horchata is creamy and perfectly spiced.
