Food: 5/5 ⭐ The food here is so good! They have somewhat of a limited menu, but that's because they specialize in birriria, hence the name, and they have the best birriria tacos I've ever had. Always made fresh to order, with fresh ingredients, so if you're sitting down to eat inside be careful, because it will be piping hot. If you've never tried birriria you're missing out, as long as you're not overly opposed to really greasy foods, TRY IT! And if it's too greasy for your taste, just use some paper towels and soak it up. The soup that comes with the taco combo, consomé, is really good too. Has a very subtle flavor, which works great in contrast to the rich flavor of the tacos. Both their hot sauces are great too, as long as you can handle a little spicy.

Service 5/5 ⭐ I have only been here when it's after normal dinner hours, so I'm not sure what it's like during the dinner rush or lunch time, but every time that I've been the service has always been great. Very friendly and helpful staff, although it seems like most of the waitresses don't speak much English, there is always at least one who can help translate, and it's never been a problem. Food always gets delivered within 15 minutes of placing our order, usually less than 10 minutes, and they are always good about getting chip and salsa refills in a timely manner. And also, I have been with a friend who couldn't handle how spicy their salsa was, so he asked for some pico de gallo for the chips instead, and they brought out a salsa bowl of freshly diced Pico de Gallo, which was really good, and didn't charge us any extra for it or anything, which was really nice of them.

Atmosphere 5/5 ⭐ I mean, it's a Mexican restaurant, taqueria even, they're all pretty much the same as far as atmosphere. A few things I appreciate about this place though, is that while yes, they have the one TV playing Tejano music videos on a loop, they don't have it cranked to an obtrusive volume level, to where it feels like you have to talk over it, like most places like this. They are also really good about keeping the place clean, I don't think I've ever seen an empty table that still had plates or trash on it, and they're really good about pre bussing. Again, I've never been during the rush hours, but there's always plenty of open seating whenever I go. Which is surprising because of how good the food is, I would expect them to be packed all the time.

I live half a mile up the street, and so I eat here at least once a week, sometimes 3 or 4 times a week, and I've never had anything other than a great dining experience and great food here. Highly...

DISCRIMINATION!!!! I had a horrible experience at this restaurant. The owner has 0 respect for his customers. The birria is super greasy see the pictures for yourself. I brought my friend and I had no appetite but I wanted to taste the taco. So I asked for 1 order of ramen and 1 quesabirria. The waiter comes and brings 2 of each. I then told him I had ordered 1 which he rolls his eyes and questions what he wrote down. My friend agreed I had only asked for 1 of each. He then walks away and the waiter and owner start talking loud about my order behind the counter. The owner proceeds to tell the waiter to show me the receipt and to force me to accept what he brought. They continued making comments out loud saying I was wrong and started mocking I was going to ask for a bowl to share the ramen. So what if I did what is it to them? Their behavior was disgusting. So I confronted both of them and told the owner I could clearly hear their outraged comments and complaints about me. He thought because he saw two young women he wasn’t going to get confronted. He thought he could get loud and I was not going to stand up for myself. The owner is a clown 🤡 Birria Estilo Jalisco is down the street got there instead. It is way better quality food than this greasy food. Save your money and stay away from this...
