    Let's be honest, this is not a tourist destination but it is locales destination. This is grilled…read morechicken location right off the freeway. Not kidding. You'll have to yell to your companions if you want to keep the conversation going. If you can deal with the roadside noise and the lack of interior design, then you'll be very pleased with the seasoning of the grilled chicken. There many of these types of location throughout Mexico, some are called El Pollo Pepe and any number of variations. This is locally owned and run by a family. There are two sons, one presides over the grill with no A/C and the other cuts the chicken. ( Check out the picture ) The daughter ? or the wife of the one of the son's serves the customers. The mom is preparing the next batch of chicken and the grandmother is making hand made authentic tortillas. Everyone is busy doing their assigned jobs. Depending on your party, getting two chickens will serve 6 people. You may decide to have leftovers since the chicken so good. There are no mashed potatoes, baked beans, coleslaw etc... It's chicken and tortillas. Well, you do get a plate with a little bit of Iceburg lettuce, tomatoes, and onions, typical Mexico garnish plate with a little rice, but that's it. This isn't a El Pollo Loco or KFC and that is a good thing. The chicken is cut expertly into about six to eight pieces. The marination is just right, garlic, lime, salt, and pepper and a little of adobo, but don't rely on me, try it with your taste buds. The chicken is piping hot and I mean hot, you may want to let it sit for a little but not too long, since you will be looking while everyone else will be eating. The marination is not spicy so if you think its hot in that sense, it is not. The outer skin has a nice crunch and even some charness to it, and that's cool but the meat inside is soft, wet and juicy. There are restrooms, however, I did not check to see how they were and they do service the typical Coke products in a glass bottle. Looking for something authentic and unique? This is your place!

    Definitely a great place to check out if you are in Guadalajara. The birria was delicious…read more They give you tortilla chips, salsa, and fried beans while you are waiting, which is not a long time since they serve quickly. The aguas frescas are okay, not made from scratch. We ordered the orden de birria to share. It's about right for two people, but if you like more meat, it might not be enough. To make it work for us, we ordered two quesadillas and a consome (birria soup). Note that the order does come with freshly made tortillas.

    No sabía que venir a este lugar de birria iba a ser una experiencia... tan íntima. Desde que me…read moresirvieron el plato sentí que algo en mí se estaba derritiendo, y no era solo el queso. La birria llegó hirviendo, burbujeando como si me estuviera coqueteando. El olor... santo Dios. Ese aroma me abrazó tan rico que casi me hace cerrar los ojos en plena mesa. Cuando metí la tortilla en el consomé, la cosa se puso peligrosa. Esa mezcla espesita, caliente, resbalando... mejor ni digo lo que pensé, porque no es apto para horario familiar. La carne, suave al grado de que se deshacía con solo mirarla. Yo también me estaba deshaciendo, pero por otras razones. Cada mordida me hacía sentir como si alguien me estuviera diciendo al oído "ándale, uno más". Y yo obedecía sin poner resistencia. El consomé... uff. Esa cosa estaba tan profunda y tan sabrosa que sentí que estaba metiéndome en problemas. Y lo peor es que me encantó. El personal muy atento, preguntándome si quería más, y yo tratando de no contestar "sí, pero de todo". Uno tiene que mantener la compostura... aunque sea poquito. Salí de ahí lleno, sudadito y con la conciencia dudosa. Conclusión: No sé qué brujería hacen en este lugar, pero esa birria despierta cosas. Y todas buenas.
