Casa Birria Jalisco — Restaurant in Cheney

Update: 9/2/25. While not the same outfit that opened the place a few years ago, this family is doing a better job. There are far more options for proteins than before, and they can make anything on their vast menu with all of the above. Be advised any request for meat options that are not Birria or Pollo are going to be met with an up-charge. Wifey loves her Posole' meals, and here is yet another place in our small town to find it on a daily basis. We only saw the Manager fella, who was running the whole FOH, and he took great care of us. There are four reasons why the only restos I hit in my hometown are all Mex joints. Arturo's; El Rodeo; Gerardo's; and, now these guys. You all get the picture, I'm sure...

Did we need a 4th Mex joint here in Cheney? Why not? We actually had 5 at one time in the late 2000s. What's made the 3 who've survived make it? They're all different styles. One's a gringo grandma joint; another is San Diego style Mex; and the other one is like a grill you'd find in a coastal seaport town in Mexico. All different, and we love them. This joint actually fits another category, and I do believe they will stick, with their emphasis on Birria, mostly served as beef--and not goat--in the US. Everything we had was great! And quell your sticker shock, because your order will be another meal and a half. No joke. But our leftovers didn't last even 15 mins after we got home, with family who didn't go.. Staff was friendly and busy, with a very nice young lady at the register, who was helping the whole FOH/BOH more than she knows. Great first impression at this place for us, and we live in this wheat, cow, and...

I visited recently, and the experience was extremely disappointing. The service was incredibly slow, with waitstaff seemingly indifferent to our presence. We had to wait for ages to be seated, and once we finally got our table, it took forever to get our orders taken. The food was cold when it arrived, and the server hardly checked on us. I must say, it was one of the most disgusting dining experiences I've ever had. The tables were sticky, and the whole place had a foul odor. The food, when it finally arrived, looked and tasted as though it had been sitting out for hours. It was undercooked, cold, and had a strange, off-putting flavor. I couldn't even finish my meal. The state of the restroom was equally revolting. I strongly advise against dining here if you have any regard for cleanliness and hygiene. not only was the service abysmal, but the staff's behavior towards a fellow employ was incredibly rude and heartless. We witnessed a person who was trying to celebrate their birthday being treated with complete disrespect. When they politely asked if they could have a day off they flat out refused and fired them. I bet they were very upset and it was disheartening to see the staff's insensitivity on what should have been a joyful occasion. This lack of empathy and consideration for their customers was truly appalling. I typed a long to get to people to know not to go to here. Please...

On June 18, 2025, I ate at La Casa De Birria (#2) for the first time. I went for lunch with colleagues as part of a birthday celebration. You order at the counter, select your salsas at a designated salsa bar, and then choose your own seat—a perfect lunch formula in my opinion! When I went to order, I chose from the chalkboard that displayed a few different specials and chose the crema enchiladas. I found my food to be completely adequate….nothing that blew me out of the water but it tasted just fine. Chips are complimentary which is a nice touch. If I had one suggestion for this place it would be this: introduce a lunch menu. As I have already alluded to a couple times in this short review, this place is conducive to a lunch crowd so it seems to make sense that a lunch menu would be offered. Although the food is pretty good, without the lunch menu, I do find the prices a little high. I do think lunch options offered at slightly lower prices and smaller portions would be...
