Everything was very delicious and the service was very good. The only thing I would change is that the tables are not very comfortable and the seats.

Loved the amazing service and good food. Very affordable, we got so much for a very reasonable price. Everything was so delicious. The torta ahogada reminded us of the ones they sell in Guadalajara so it was definitely amazing!
Highly recommend! The quesabirrias were my personal favorite thing on the menu. Y’all need to go!

El Chivito is yet another of those hidden gems that I want to keep stashed, alas, I'm a generous person and feel compelled to let the city know what they're about.
Upon arriving, you may be put off by the appearance, but don't judge a birria by its consommé. Actually, scratch that, you can totally judge this place by its consommé because it's that good. But the location is humble, albeit a little ratchet. Coming from the Bronx, I'm more than okay with places like this because I know they're going to lean heavily into their menu instead of the frills and fluff of a fake grass wall with neon quips. Despite being anchored in a parking lot and situating itself around curbs, the area is kept clean and well-stocked with napkins, squeeze bottled salsas, and spotless tables thanks to a courteous and engaging employee bustling out orders and bussing tables.
My family of four ordered quesacombos and Tortas Mexicanas. The quesacombos comes with 3 quesabirrias and a bowl of consommé, which was a departure from the consommés I've tried around town that lacked flavor. I found myself spooning the liquid into my mouth long after the quesabirrias were eaten. The Torta Mexicana (mixta and birria) had crusty bolero bread and well-seasoned meats inside. Each came loaded with condiments and fixins making it a meal on its own.
Aguas frescas were served in generous portions and for a decent price.
Above all, the service is what compels me to recommend this place. The friendliness of all the employees we encountered, along with the high level of execution in the food makes this a place I can recommend.

5 stars for food and service. I love their birria and tacos. However, I am knocking off a star because their pricing is deceptive. I have been there twice, and what I paid did not match the menu price + tax.

First time I got the quesabirria tacos. They are marked as $11.99 on the menu. I paid $14.00 with tax, which was a dollar more. I used cash, not credit. The lady did ask me if I wanted cheese in my tacos, but should they not come with cheese!? They wouldn't be quasabirria if not.

Second time I got three tacos and a side of beans. It should have been $10.50 plus tax, according to menu. I paid almost $14 this time as well. The guy didn't tell me why.

Next time I go I will clarify what they are charging me extra for. Either way, please be clear about this up front. Update your menu if it isn't accurate. Deceptive pricing is not cool.
