Came for the food walk, easily the best meal I got all day. The birria is legit, as is the consomme. We walked all the way here to get a taco, went down to meet some friends and then came back for the ramen later.

What is this place?!? Taqueria? Birria lovers dream? Family? Yep!

Went in about an hour before closing and was greeted immediately upon entering. The menu is simple and very reasonably priced. The positions are VERY generous and the food is incredible.

There is also something special about the atmosphere. The way it’s been decorated. The little touches everywhere. It felt - like you just got invited into someone’s home for a meal. The service felt that same way.

Enter Brenda - part owner of this amazing establishment. Her energy and joy are infectious. She added so much to our dining experience. It was as if she had invited us to be guests at her home and couldn’t wait to share the passion in the food and the dream of this place.

This isn’t just a place to go because you like tacos, or if you know and love birria, or because it’s open. This is a place to go to experience a hug in the form of food. It’s a place to go if you’re missing home meals. It’s a place to go to thank people like Brenda and her family for putting this much joy in the world and soak a little up for yourself.

Gracias familia de Birrieria Pepe El Toro!!!

FYI - they also have food trucks for your corporate, neighborhood, and special event!!

I come here equally for the food and the service and that’s saying something. Everyone here goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. I have tried many things on their menu at this point, no misses. Be sure to get the flan if they have any that day. Also the horchata!

Look this place got Amazing birria. Seattle is RIIIIFE with Mexican food that is so catered to white people that it is entirely flavorles (mi casa im looking at you) or so expensive that you just know a white man owns that restaurant. This place is latin owned (i beleive) its delicious AND its the only place in SEATTLE i have seen that does menudo and pozole(only on special occasions). If I could give them more stars i absolutely would and when I die i hope they cook me into a delicious birria to be buried (they keep telling me that's not allowed). Thier burritos are insane.

Hands down some of the best Mexican food in Seattle. Their food is amazing and the drinks use actual fruit and are refreshing, great variety at the salsa bar. Price is really reasonable and the service is phenomenal, they ask if you have any allergies before placing the order.

Highly recommend the birria burrito and cucumber watermelon Agua Fresca.
