Not only is the food amazing every single time, but I've never experienced the kind of customer service I've received at La Birria Loca. First all, do yourself a favor and get the KoRn, you won't be disappointed. This is a family run restaurant, and you can really feel the care they put into both their food and their customers, every time I come in they remember me. I work nearby and recently, I had ordered food but was unexpectedly unable to pick it up. They went above and beyond by personally delivering my order! I was honestly blown away by their kindness and generosity. This level of genuine customer service is something you don't come across often. I recommended La Birria Loca to anyone who will listen and I can't recommend them enough! read more

La Birria Loca - Birria tacos, Consomé (4oz), rice, beans. - Mexican Near Me - Winfield, Illinois

I ordered from here during the week and enjoyed it. This is a carry out spot only. It looks like a house and can easily be missed since it's not your typical restaurant lookin establishment. This is a family owned business, I think a dad and son run it. I ordered online and my food was almost done when I arrived. The son asked how I found em and I had said I saw they had great reviews on Yelp. He then explained I should look at the google reviews instead. He expressed that Yelp deleted 300+ of their 5 star reviews since they didn't want to pay to claim their business. True or not? Idk. He also said he's trying to get their ratings higher on Yelp but it takes months for the reviews to post. Again, how true that is, IDK. I'm posting my review on 6/18/2026 so we'll see when it becomes visible. When I checked out their Yelp page I did notice a lot of recent 5 star reviews from people who only reviewed La Birria Loca. Regardless... I had 3 Quesabirria tacos and thought it was full of flavor. The sauce was also delicious. Pricing is on the higher said and if you're wanting any type of side toppings it's considered an up charge and the portion is micro tiny small. read more

My first visit to La Birria Loca. I was initially expecting a sit-down restaurant, but it turned out to be carry-out only, with a few picnic tables in the back for seating. That was a surprise at first, but we made it work. One thing that caught me off guard was the pricing. When ordering, I was asked if I wanted pico de gallo, sour cream, and guacamole, but it wasn't clear these were additional charges. I assumed they came with the meal. Three orders plus drinks ended up being over $100, which was unexpected. I did have to double-check the receipt, and to their credit, the staff quickly removed the extra charges once I brought it up and told him I didn't need pico, sour cream and gaucamole. Our tab still came to $87 for the 3 entrees with drinks. Despite that, the food itself was very tasty. Everything we ordered was flavorful and well-prepared, and we were genuinely surprised at how good it was. Consume was one the best I've had hands down. They portion sizes are well worth it. Their hot sauces were also excellent, with spice levels clearly labeled by number, which made it fun to try different heat levels. Overall, even with the confusion around pricing and setup, I would definitely come back again for the food. read more

Yum! What a great little spot. The prices are on a higher end, but you get hugeeee portions. We tried an assortment of food and everything was great. I'm a huge elote fan, and it was delicious. We got takeout and it was hot, ready, and packed well. The staff was also super friendly at pick up. I wish they offered a few more options, but it's safe to assume we will be back! read more

Oh YUM, I love this place! Everything is so delicious, and tonight for the first time I tried the Mazatlan Shrimp and Steak Bowl. It had nice chunks of steak and a good amount of shrimp to balance it out. The only change I would make is, since I'm not a "heat" lover, next time I would get the Salsa Verde on the side . My husband also got the same dish and said it's his favorite thing! Joe, the proprietor, is always super friendly and so helpful with suggestions. Awesome place. read more

Man were we amazed... We were in the area due to my brother having a baseball game and we searched up food near us & we saw they had a birria taco spot like 7-8 min away. We pull into the parking lot the first thing I tell my husband is "well this looks promising" AND WE WERE DEFINITELY RIGHT! From the moment we walked in we were amazed by the artwork we were surrounded by and we were immediately greeted by this wonderful guy I forgot his name but he was so cool. Our food was amazing it definitely hit the spot. Can't wait to come back!! This is definitely in my top two favorite Birria spots here in IL so sad we are so far away from here tho!! -ALSO PLEASE TRY THE COFFEE HORCHATA!!! (the horchata is home made!!) read more

We stopped on a recommendation from a store we were in. It's a take out spot so you are aware. They do have 3 picnic tables out back when the weather is nice. The staff is personable and the inside is small but clean. I got the quesabirria quesadilla. Grass fed beef which was delicious. My husband had the tacos. Both were missing the crunch we like but still very good. I suggest calling ahead as it takes a while but worth the wait if you don't. Eyeball the artwork in the walls in the meantime. The beans and rice added on for $2.99 were eh. And very small. Luckily they gave you consume, limes, onions, salsa, cilantro for those who like it. Sour cream and guacamole I believe we paid for. 3 Hot sauce came in ranges from hot to oh no! So pick your poison. read more

First time here and Joe made us feel like family while they made our food from scratch. Got a mix of things for a group of four and everyone loved it! This place is going into our weekly rotation. read more

Really disappointing experience. We walked in hoping to place an order, and right from the beginning the owner had an attitude. Before we could even really ask anything, we were told there was a 40-minute wait, asked if we had placed an online order, and repeatedly told that they are a "5-star" business and that we should only order online. We actually tried calling twice before coming in and no one answered, which is why we decided to stop by in person. It's unfortunate because we were genuinely looking forward to trying this place and supporting a local business, but the way we were spoken to made us feel completely unwelcome. A 40-minute wait is understandable--we had no issue with waiting. It was the attitude and the way the situation was handled that made us decide to leave. Customer service matters just as much as the food, especially when you're reminding customers that you're a "5-star" business. read more

Good portions, great ingredients, and extremely flavorful. Highly recommend this place!

Delicious food and vegetarian friendly! Fast service and friendly people. Conveniently located near the train station so I was able to quickly grab my food and take it to go. The food tasted fresh bad if you like hot sauce you MUST try the habanero. I am always searching for a good spicy sauce and this was one of the best I've ever had. Also has the Tres Leches cake which was moist and delicious. They have rotating flavors as well! While I waited for my food, I also got to sample the Banana Horchata - also delicious and just the right sweetness. read more

Our favorite place to go for Birria--and great conversation. The birria chilaquiles are my go-to but everything on the menu is good. Be sure to order ahead if you see the churro cheesecake is available because it sells out and it's worth getting. read more

First time here! I was warmly welcomed by Joe and Dan (not sure I got the names right!). They helped me choose beef and cheese tacos, which were absolutely delicious. They serve it with a consommé for dipping that is delicious. It also came with chopped onion and cilantro and a variety of sauces. I brought the same home for my husband and he loved them! I can't believe I hadn't heard about this place before. We'll definitely be back! read more

Next level food experience!!! Got to hand it La Birria Loca! This is my hands down favorite introduction to a restaurant! Upon walking in I was greeted and asked if I was new, they had a feeling it was my first time in. I was given an introduction to what the restaurant does and who they are. I ordered a 3 Birria taco dinner with rice and beans for lunch. The food was excellent and paired with three sauces one hotter than the next. This joint is family operated, compliments to everyone here you can taste the love and authenticity to it! Place is riddled with cool urban metal art! Will be coming back and glad I gave this shot! read more

How did I just notice I've never left a review for La Birria Loca?!? Shame on me!!! Also shame on me that I just went to town and ate my food before getting pictures. I'll add some next time! Anyway - you ever wonder what it feels like when Jesus comes down and blesses you? Eat at La Birria Loca. My goodness their food hits EVERY TIME!!! I lived in the city for over 10 years before coming back to the burbs. Chicago has some of the best Mexican food, but La Birria Loca beats most of them out. No doubt about it that their consume is the absolute best. The meat quality is just unmatched. You won't find better quality steak, beef, or chicken. I'd put money on that statement. My husband and I have had their tacos, Baja tacos, Birria ramen, super beef burritos and finally today tried the Quesabirria. I won't lie, it hits my soul a little when I click the order button because their prices are a lot higher than most Mexican restaurants, BUT the second you take a bite, all is forgotten. They have a high quality product. The Quesabirria was hands down my favorite thus far with the Birria ramen close behind. Their Baja tacos are also some of the best tacos. My only suggestion to this place would be to consider making the corn tortillas fresh to order. That is the only thing Invicto in Naperville has on this place. If La Birria Loca had the corn tortillas of Invicto, they'd be stealing the entire state of illinois for best Mexican food. Salsas, toppings, meat and cheese quality, consume, etc. La Birria Loca wins. Do yourselves a favor and eat here!! It would be a true disservice if you didn't. read more

Love the food here!! Amazing family recipes and really cool interior. Great people here and so friendly service!! Cute picnic tables to eat outside or takeout for going back home. The breakfast burrito is so delicious. The quessabirria was delicious for my daughter and she is so picky!! The horchata was an out of body experience and the elote is flavorful. Epic!! read more

The food was great. They got all the food out real quick. And there was a nice park right around the corner for our big group.

We had just finished a cancer awareness walk and wanted to find a casual, local Mexican restaurant. We are from out of town, but we loved talking with the family who owns the place. They gave us a lot of history of the building, talked to them about their band touring days, and enjoyed hearing the passionate stories about their food. We both got the birria chilaquiles (off their secret menu--use their QR code to find their link tree that has their current full menu) and it was DELICIOUS. It's dunked in their level 4 sauce (tangy and mild) with delicious birria meat and pico de gallo. Additionally, DO NOT miss the churro cheesecake! It is everything. Not too sweet, so creamy, still thinking about it hours later. You can only take out. Long complicated building codes prevent them from being a sit down restaurant but there is a cute park behind the building. Just be aware that bathrooms might be locked! read more

Great service from the minute you walk in. It was easy to customize and ask for easy cheese on my quesabirria tacos so you know they are making everything fresh to order. Carry-out only but there are picnic tables conveniently located outside in the back. read more

Been wanting to go to this place for so long and found myself at CDH visiting someone and needed lunch. Got the birria tacos and they were the bomb! The vibe in the place is outstanding and they have a cute seating area behind it. This is a must stop! read more

The service was poor. We had barely arrived when the staff's attitude was completely unhelpful; they simply informed us of a 45-minute wait and that they only accepted online orders. Trying something new in this area turned out to be a very unpleasant experience. I hope this person isn't the owner. read more

Great food and a lot of fun talking to the owner! Definitely not your average Mexican restaurant. No tables inside so you can take your order home or eat at a table out back. read more

First time, and boy I was impressed! Grass fed and grass finished beef is the highest quality, and that's what got me in the door. I had three large corn birria tacos- they came with onion, cilantro, two sauces and of course the consommé on the side. Excellent. Two gentlemen working had the best personalities- one was the owners son. Friendly, lively , engaging, unexpected. I don't know what makes them so happy to be at work, but boy they give a great impression. The building itself is decorated so cool. Stop here, it's unique and delicious and an exceptional staff!! read more

La Birria Loca - Birria corn tacos- these were heavy and large!! - Mexican Near Me - Winfield, Illinois

Went in for the first time ever today (Father's day) and ordered off of doorsash. The gentlemen that handed me my food was very kind and let me know that doordash over charges their menu and to go a different route the next time I order online, so I really appreciated that. Next, the food. The food was DELICIOUS. Hands down some of the best tacos I've had in a while. The sauce that they gave us was also more on the creamy side than the saucy side and I really enjoyed that, it was different than what I'm used to. This place is an absolute amazing find and I'm kicking myself for not finding out about it sooner!! read more

Birria burrito no onion Large koRn Steak quesadilla platter Dreamsickle tres leches This comes with a ton of different sauces and I don't know why or what they are but it's fun to try them and several of them are very good (I liked orange). This tres leches was ridiculously excellent. Apparently they have rotating flavors so this is going to be the star of this restaurant for me and pretty much the whole point of going here. They don't have horchata yet but apparently they're putting in the machine. The quesadilla was pretty boring and the steak was fine but it really wasn't worth the $2.50 up charge. Probably my fault for picking the most boring thing on the menu, I guess. The corn was pretty good - a goopy and buttery mess. The burrito is unbelievably huge and I was told it was good so maybe I'll try that next time. read more

Amazing food! Go every week! The staff is always so sweet and always remember me by face

Phenomenal experience - staff was friendly and the reviews prove how good this place is. Extremely flavorful and plenty of different food options.

It's pretty rare to be treated as nice as these folks. Will be back for sure! read more

We absolutely love La Birria Loca -- it's hands down our favorite birria. Every bite is packed with rich, authentic flavor and you can tell the ingredients are fresh and thoughtfully prepared.

First time, not the last time. Incredible. Service was quality, food is unmatched. Everyone was really kind and funny 13.5/5

This place has been on my radar for a minute. But it is a minute away from me so I needed the right time to stop. A few of us ordered to have food pick up and we ordered a variety of things. Everyone loved the food. Especially the birria tacos were so good! I'm not sure about what the place looks like because I myself didn't go but from what my bud said it was cool and the service was real nice! Salsas were super good too! And don't forget the cheesecake when u go! read more
