Wednesday afternoon I'm in a not so "good" area Yelping for something good to eat.
Up pops this place in a cool looking plaza. I don't think anything until I see that it is Birria. Not only is it Birria, It is Birria Cabra (Goat). A true Gem or diamond in the rough. This type of food is extremely rare to find on weekdays. Since most Mexican Restaurants will make this delicious dish only on weekends usually on Sundays and even then the dish is not 100% Goat, mostly Beef and Goat.
So the Good! 100% Goat Birria. Yup! Hot and Fresh and Literally the ONLY Item on the menu. Great! Comes with a side of Cilantro, Onion, Hot Salsa and Tortilla. Good Service. Our waitress was super happy to see us with smiles and asked us every so often if we wanted something more or refills on the sides or tortillas.
My friend and I order a Medio (medium) Plate Each. Comes out hot and has the meat piled on.
-Some parts of the Birria Cabra meat were on the dry side. But I mean very little parts, not really something to be a stickler about. Birria Came in a shallow plate with sauce/broth. I think should come in a bowl instead. Onion was a little dry and the cilantro a little dry as well.
Besides this we were both satisfied. Considering my friend NEVER had Birria before in his life, he literally was wiping his plate clean faster then I finished my plate. So thats a Plus.
So to the Adventurous eaters. Deff give this place a try if you like to try new foods and especially if you like Latin...

They will tell me something in Spanish and then translate in English so I'm sort of learn what I am looking on the menu. I went with the Roasted kid (goat stew) and tried the Tepache (fermented pineapple drink). They were nice enough to give me a sample just in case I end up not liking it if I order a whole glass.
My anticipation subsided when I cut my order. I took a bite of the goat stew and it was amazing. That means bus tender and juicy. It is not overpowered by any spices but I can still taste the flavor of the goat's meat. They don't serve rice or beans with a meal but the homemade tortilla more than make up for it.
The Tepache is like a kambucha made with pineapple and raw cane sugar. It is an acquired taste but if you like Kambucha, you should like this as well.
This was release an unexpected delicious find.
Oh and I ordered Flan for...
Read moreWent in Wednesday 5/18/22 for 2 orders of birria for take out since my regular spot on Compton was closed. Man was this a disappointment. First disappointment was that they don’t sell rice at this location only beans. Didn’t really make much sense but I was ok with it. Once I got my food I drove home only to realize that the meat was hard and stale. Like if they had given me yesterdays food or something. The taste of the consomé was bland with almost no flavor. Only thing that was good was the tortillas. Second time eating here. Both times was a let down. Wouldn’t recommend. Just go to the one on Compton and 77th. Customer service sucks as well. If you don’t like your job why work there. Bad...
