    BIRRIA TACOS
    Lauren C.

    Ordered to go very fast pick up! Super friendly staff! And great tacos! I got the birria tacos from 10/10 recommend

    Charlie is in fact an angel. His birria tacos are outstanding, hit the spot and super juicy. Exactly what i needed on a cold Tuesday evening. This place is a hidden gem - will blow up once Vienna gets the word out!

    Latin sandwich

    Huge portion - kiddo had Latin sandwich for two meals. Friendly service. Located on Oakton side of Vienna which is nice & close to us - welcome to neighborhood.

    Yayyy! Was at the Wawa near this place and was looking for dinner options. I'm so happy to finally try this place as it's been in my bookmarks. I honestly wanted to try everything, but alas my stomach cannot fit everything. We decided on birria tacos and the torta sandwich. Both were great. I appreciate the clean packaging and how things were assembled. I also appreciate the amount of broth to taco ratio. I was able to finish the broth instead of have a lot of broth wasted. Pick up time was reasonable and food was still hot when we got home. A great great place for Tex mex options.

    actual hole in the wall but great food and good prices! birria especial, with 3 tacos, consommé, rice and beans was $12. location is above the ice cream place in the plaza, with a staircase. there are four tables inside with limited seating. friendly service in both english and spanish

    a variety of food items displayed

    It was love at first bite. I tried to Beria sandwich and it was life at first bite. Looking forward to trying other things here! Tips 1) No more food truck; it's takeout style. No indoor seating 2) There are daily specials even on Sat and Sun 3) Located upstairs 4) Try at least once, this is a small business owner. They keep the local flavor in the community! 5) Only drawback: it seems they put Avocado in the sandwiches, however it makes me sick even though I don't mind the taste. So ask about ingredients if you're like me

    Super delicious food! Went here for taco Tuesdays and Charlie was super nice and cooked everything in a timely manner. The location is fairly small, right above Molly's Yogurt. You take one flight of stairs straight up and it's there. We ordered the Latin Street Sandwich as well as the birria tacos. My boyfriend really enjoyed his sandwich but we both preferred the birria tacos. I think they're some of the best birria tacos I've had in this area! The amount of dipping sauce he provided is the perfect amount to also prevent a lot of waste. Check this place out if you're in the area!

    Charlies Bowl is great, a great variety of options served with friendly and fast service. The birria tacos were very delicious, packed with meat and only $12!

    They have the best tacos around. Literally everything on the menu is delicious. The birria tacos are the best choice. Charlie is awesome. Great service. Try the desserts too!

There are some parking spots right in front, although not many. There is a decent amount of seating, but it would be tight if you had a large party. My partner did note that the bathrooms weren't that great. You immediately get served complementary chips and salsa. They were pretty basic, but not bad. We ordered the following: + Papusas (Pork and Cheese & Loroco and Cheese) - Decent, although I prefer the Loroco (an edible flower bud). + Pollo à la Primavera (chicken dish) - Yummy, especially the sauce which mixes well with their hot/spicy sauce too! I could do without the salad dressing. + Camarones con Calabeza (shrimp dish) - Same as above! Note they leave the tails on. + Natural Juices (Mango and Maranon) - So refreshing! I loved the Maranon (cashew apple) was a wonderful burst of tropical sweetness with a subtle nutty taste. I appreciate that for the pupusas they had the foresight to provide my partner and I two plates so we could sphere the papusas. The portion sizes of the entrees were great for the price. It did take a while for the staff to swing by so that we could get boxes and the check. Note that credit cards and mobile pay are accepted. I definitely wouldn't mind coming back again to try more items on their menu.

My wife indicated that it's on the menu so the server lost instant credibility by saying they didn't have it, and didn't bother to say he would go check. The server brought chips and salsa which we thought were ok. The chips were really thin and the salsa was runny to the point I got it all over the table. Despite asking the server for napkins, he didn't bring any after 10 mins of waiting. I ended up going to the kitchen and asking if I could have napkins and brought them back to the table myself. Totally ridiculous that a customer has to serve themself. Restaurant cleanliness appeared to be problematic with napkins and debris on the floor, and tables that took 30 mins to get cleaned after patrons left. My wife had fajitas and thought they were good. I had a burrito that had a very thick tortilla to the point I felt like I was eating bread. Some of the steak in the burrito was medium-rare despite not being asked for my preference of how I wanted it cooked. You would think that would be well done in this instance. Needless to say, my wife said we're not returning and I'm not going to fight her over it. I don't recall our first experience being this way but the service and food have definitely changed for the worst.
