Stepping into TJ Birria was like discovering a hidden gem I’m totally hooked on these tacos they hit that sweet spot and The inviting atmosphere and warm hospitality set the perfect stage for what would become an unforgettable culinary adventure.Staff was helpful with the menu and helped to recommend things that we would like.

The Birria tacos at TJ Birria are nothing short of spectacular. Each taco is a masterpiece, starting with the succulent, beef that has been marinated for hours in a rich blend of spices just like my grandmothers cooking The meat is incredibly tender, oh my lord it’s so so so soft and extra extra juicy seriously practically melting in your mouth with each bite. The depth of flavor is extraordinary, with hints of smokeness, aromatic cumin, and a touch that brings everything together in perfect harmony.

The tacos are enveloped in tortillas that are simultaneously crispy and tender, grilled to a golden perfection. The exterior has just the right amount of crunch, that u like just like hot Cheetos seriously giving way to a soft and pliable interior that soaks up the juices of the flavorful meat. Topped with fresh cilantro, diced onions, and a squeeze of zesty lime, every bite bursts with a medley of vibrant, fresh flavors.

And the consommé oh oh oh, the consommé mmmmmmmmmmm ! This rich, savory broth is a revelation made in heaven.Made from the same spices and juices that marinate the beef, the consommé is intensely satisfying saturated with flavorful and aromatic taste. Dipping the Birria tacos into this broth adds a whole new dimension of deliciousness, infusing each bite with a comforting warmth that is deeply satisfying make you want to order even more tacos or take a taco from your mamas plate

Pairing these incredible tacos with a chilled Mexican Coke took the experience to another level. The distinct, slightly sweet taste of Mexican Coke, made with real cane sugar, was the perfect complement to the savory richness of the Birria tacos. Every sip was a refreshing delight, with the effervescent bubbles cleansing the palate and enhancing the overall flavor journey.

What makes TJ Birria truly special is the passion and authenticity that infuse every aspect of the experience. From the meticulous preparation of the food to the friendly and attentive service workers and it’s always super clean staff is always cleaning and asking if you need anything else it’s clear that this place is driven by a love …. I love this places and for great food and a desire to share it with others maybe not probably order them tacos and then you eat it lol hahaha.

The combination of incredible flavors, perfect textures, and the refreshing Mexican Coke creates a dining experience that’s nothing short of magical. I can’t wait for my next visit to indulge in more of this deliciousness!I miss you...

Update: Spoke to the owner and he gave away several certificates to my clients who were affected by the tornado. I truly appreciate the attention He had on this matter and we will definitely be buying from the best Birria spot in Houston again!

Update 5/22/24: Just spoke with Juan Hernandez, and he told me that he will be giving my feedback and review to upper management/owner.

Update 5/18/24: It's really disheartening when you have a massive tornado that tears through your city and this place starts price gouging food, taking advantage of people's desperation to eat out because they don't have electricity. They are charging $14 and some change for their birriadillas platter, but instead of including the four tacos that they usually would, you're paying that much for only three. I called the Katy location and they verified that it is four tacos and the price as well. So not only are they charging the same amount for less food, but when I brought it up to a worker who was working the food truck, he tried to gaslight me and telling me that it's always been that way when their other location confirmed that it's not always been that way. I've also been eating here for over a year. This type of dishonest business is exactly what I hate about small businesses taking advantage of a bad situation. Not sure if I'll be coming back, I rather support honest business.

When I say this is my absolute favorite birria place, it is.

I came here after seeing about it on Instagram. I got the Birriadillas with consome and wow.

Not only are you getting a very good deal; 4 birria tacos (regular size! Not the small ones!) With a delicious consome that is absolutely perfect (not too spicy, perfect kick) but you are getting all this for a great price. Compared to many places that primarily serve Birria tacos, this is the only place that gives you FOUR tacos for the price of what most places charge for THREE. Side with lemon, onions and cilantro, it is filling, delicious and traditional. A very nice, modern vibe to the restaurant with traditional Mexican music makes this a place where the OG's and young people can come and enjoy good food. This place caters to everyone.

Also, I really enjoy their cucumber lemonade! My only wish is that it wasn't so sweet, I usually order a cup of water so I can water it down. I also wish they made their own pastries, but you can't win them all! Diabetic friendly options for drinks would be great to have, even if it's just zero sugar...
