I recently had what I can only describe as the best birria taco of my life. From the very first bite, it was clear this wasn’t just food—it was an experience. The tortilla was perfectly crisped on the outside, yet soft and tender enough to fold around the rich, juicy filling. The beef birria itself was melt-in-your-mouth tender, slow-cooked until every strand carried layers of deep, savory flavor with just the right touch of spice. What really set it apart was the consommé—rich, aromatic, and bursting with the essence of roasted chiles, herbs, and beef drippings. Dipping each taco into that golden broth turned every bite into a moment of pure bliss. The balance of textures was spot-on: the crunch of the tortilla, the tenderness of the meat, and the silky warmth of the consommé. To finish it off, the toppings were simple yet perfect—freshly chopped onions, bright cilantro, and a squeeze of lime that lifted the richness without overpowering it. It was the kind of taco that makes you stop mid-bite just to appreciate how good life can taste. Also, the drinks are amazing. If I could give it more than five stars, I would. This birria taco wasn’t just a meal—it was unforgettable. 🌮🔥

Great first visit during restaurant week which allowed me to try a few courses. Salsa was served warm which was a wonderful surprise and I devoured it. I tried their Caesar salad which was tasty followed by their salmon which was served with rice, black beans, and a wonderful sauce. I also tried one of the best tres leches cakes I’ve had in the DMV. Having lived in TX my standard is high and their strawberry tres leches delivered. I also tried their passion fruit margarita and Oaxacan on Fire which were amazing. Their drinks are well balanced. Marg tasted delicious and the Oaxacan on Fire was a mezcal drink which was well balanced and creative. 10/10 experience and cannot wait to go back.

The food was delicious! Especially the Lamb Barbacoa Tacos! The atmosphere was great, the guy that I think is the owner or manager was really nice and personable and took care of us. I couldn’t stand the only server I could see. It was 4:30pm and it was not busy enough for him to not be able handle all of his duties especially with the other staff helping him out. He literally told the other staff that he couldn’t bus the table because he had to take someone’s order. The place was almost empty. I really, really enjoyed the food though. We just won’t be sitting at a table anymore, we’ll stick to the bar.

I honestly don’t know how this place got this high ratings!!!!! First I had to ask for utensils for my meals. We ordered ceviche and chicken tenders to share with my toddler. The sea bass doesn’t taste freshly marinated and tasted defrosted frozen fish! I know what good fresh seafood should taste like! And the chicken tenders with French fries were soaked in the burnt oil and so soggy and room temperature warm! I asked a female server why the chicken was so burnt and she said that “ Because they were red meat and people didn’t like them when they weren’t cook enough “ Wow, she didn’t even know the tenders were white meat!!! The place was just disrespectful!I felt so cheated and wasted my money and time. I wish I had taken some photos to show and prove… I just wanted to come home and leave the place asap. After I came home, I checked other reviews and I noticed that 95 percent of reviewers wrote only one or two reviews on their accounts including this place…. It looks very suspicious. They must be all owners’s friends and relatives! This place is not definitely 4.8 stars and overpriced for the quality! The simple chicken tenders not even organic or free range chicken 3 strips with uneatable French fries, which I asked a server to put away from my kid costed $22 plus tax and plus 20 % included service charge!! Don’t ever support this kind of claimed “local business’ in the neighborhood like...

First off, the management and ownership have changed, so before you write it off as just another rebrand, it’s not. I promise. And if anyone is trustworthy, it’s an internet stranger

The menu was laid out in a great manner. On the front you have appetizers, tacos and burgers, the necessities of a Mexican bar. On the back there were drinks, enchiladas, and everything else. The description of the food was spot on. Everything it said and nothing more was on or in the food, and it was as concise as I think possible

The food was flavored impeccably and had a great variety of flavors. In all we had Ceviche, Yucca, Plantains, Tacos, a burrito and a burger. The ceviche offered a wonderful brightness and burst of citrus, the yucca was carby, plantains offered a good hit of sweetness. The tacos were a nice blend of spice and flavor, the burrito was carby but balanced in its flavors, the burger was a classic burger. Full of carbs and delicious. The chips and salsa were also good, the chips were made fresh and the salsa was a great mix of mild spice and great flavor served warm. The lemonade was also great, not being very sweet and feeling more like lemonade than sugar water with a slice of lemon in it.

Overall 11/10 experience, I would highly recommend coming if you want...
