    Very nice , very clean, great customer service. I forgot to take a picture of my food, but we got tacos, regular asada and birria asada with cheese, a veggie burrito and piña frescas. We were also given fresh chips and salsa, two types of salsa. We were offered a second round of chips but when they came out they were burnt. The waitress did offer to make new ones though, but we declined. I really loved how clean and nicely setup they were the most, but I would still also recommend to give their food a try!

    I live in the neighborhood and was walking by and saw a sign for Chilaquiles on the window and had to give it a shot. Most important thing first, food was great. The chips were perfectly sauced, my carnitas were as flavorful as I'd expect them to be. Great dish. Even more importantly though, the customer service is phenomenal. The girl Mona who was working the front was very welcoming and obviously loves her job. She was attentive without being too much, just fantastic. It's a small but adorable place. They have a cute Instagramable wall for pics for ppl who do that sort of thing. It was nice having a leisurely Sunday breakfast at a cute little spot in my neighborhood. I'm definitely going to coming back and trying more options. Hmm....birria chilaquiles?

    Had the Chilaquiles  took the kiddos after church  My daughters had pancakes and another had fijtas.

    I got the Birria (Goat) plate it was delicious and I tried both the salsas they were delicious as well. They serve you a lot & the price is so reasonable. Mona my server was such a sweetheart. I will definitely be coming back soon.

    Sooo goood and the service is excellent!!!

    Food was delicious.. services excellent!! ..unlimited salsa and chips and the best part of it too is the Agua Fresca.. We got the pineapple and it's free refill..

    Birria lunch combo #5

    This place is a 10/10, clean environment, friendly hospitable service , quick on getting the food out, I got the lunch combo #5 of 3 quesa birria tacos , it was reasonably priced with great portions even consomé, and chips/salsa while you wait . Salsas tasted fresh , will be back again !

    Enchiladas Verdes

    Food was fairly priced especially for the portion you get. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. The vibe gives off hole in the wall Mexican restaurant and the food definitely drives it home. I will probably be coming here more often due to the nice vibe, excellent service and tasty food.

    About two years ago, I regularly visited this place every Friday and occasionally on Saturdays,…read moredespite the roughly 20-mile drive from my home. At the time, I enjoyed the food and considered the drive worthwhile. However, after the restaurant changed cooks, I noticed a decline in the overall quality and stopped returning. Today, I decided to give it another try and stopped by for a small bite. I ordered the vampiro, but unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations. The meat lacked noticeable seasoning or flavor, which was particularly disappointing given the restaurant's claim of cooking with mesquite coals. The tortilla topping also appeared to be more like a pre-made tostada than a tortilla toasted over an open flame. Traditionally, I would expect a lightly charred tortilla, which adds flavor and texture to the dish. Based on this visit, the quality has not returned to what I remember from two years ago. I was disappointed with the food and do not plan to come back to this location or any other for that matter.

I realized that this pop-up was actually just a street away from where I live, which made the decision even easier. Upon arriving, I encountered a bit of a wait--there were at least 15 folks ahead of me in line, eagerly anticipating their delicious orders. After standing in line for about 10 minutes, I could sense excitement building in the air as the line inched forward. As I observed the scene, I couldn't help but feel the buzz of anticipation surrounding me.. The flavors of sweet marinated pork and fresh pineapple have a way of dancing on your palate. I plan to capture a few photos to share once I'm a little closer to the front of the line. Got a taco dinner $10 rice,beans and 3 tacos and Agua fresca horchata So here's the review I got three tacos Al pastor 2/5 no flavor .. it was missing more citrus and seasoning,even the piña bites where bland Carne Asada 2/5 it taste like reheated leftovers in which he poured all the meat on the plancha Pollo 4/5 had seasoning Rice 4/5 flavorful Beans 2/5 no flavor ,pinto beans Horchata 3/5 overly sweet Overall they hype is not what you think. Tacos are affordable,Agua frescas $5 Will I be back probably not.

    El Sauz is THE late-night munchies spot!…read more I've been coming here for years, and one of the things I love most is that they're open late. I've ordered food here as late as 2:30 AM! They have a sit-down restaurant, a karaoke room, and even a walk-up window outside if you're just looking to grab something quickly. They're known for their tacos and their spicy habanero salsa, which definitely is spicy, be warned. LOL If you're dining inside, the chips and salsa are top-tier. Sooooo good and addicting! My personal favorite is the shrimp quesadillas. They're tiny, but mighty when it comes to flavor! I also like ordering their oysters. So far, they've always been clean, fresh, and hit the spot. They also have Micheladas, both the traditional version made with alcohol and a non-alcoholic version made with mineral water. Both are really good, and I highly recommend giving them a try! And for dessert, the rice pudding is served cold, and it's honestly one of the best I've had. Everyone I've brought here has been happy with their food and their choices, which says a lot because I've brought many friends and family here. As far as parking goes, you can usually find street parking, there's a parking lot, and there's also parking behind the restaurant. I will say the neighborhood is a little sketchy, but if you're local, it's really not a big deal. If you're coming from outside the city and aren't familiar with the area, I'd recommend just dining inside. There's a lot of homeless and liquor store activities across the street. It's usually not a big deal, but again if you're not used to it, you may freak out. Overall, El Sauz is one of my go-to spots for the late-night munchies, post concert, club, bar etc.

    Del Real Foods Birria is premade birria that tastes better than this, and you can buy it along with…read morea premade bag of diced onions and tortillas from almost any grocery store. We were so excited to try this place but left very disappointed. It was about $2.7 per taco considering 6 tacos were $16.5. So yeah, given the price, there are higher quality options locally. These unfortunately were crunchy, chewy, premade tortillas, cheese not grilled in properly, birria and chicken so dry and stringy and also tasted premade (you can tell when the meat doesn't retain the juice and is dry, and the flavor is stale), and pickled vegetables that somehow didn't taste pickled. The other problem was the portion of the consomé size, which was way too small. The best thing was the grilled onions and consomé because you literally can't possibly fk that up. Although the consomé was a bit too gravy-like, and thick which considering the quality of everything else...was off putting. Ambiance felt fast paced, cramped parking, and a little dirty from being dated but it also had a fun, casual nightlife vibe. The service was fast and kind. They answered questions quick and politely without rushing us out of line. We had really high hopes for this place. This was not a first time either, we tried these guys years ago but even then it was mid. Now it just confirmed it. We do not recommend coming here unless you are craving tacos you can't make at home with premade ingredients, or find at another restaurant.
