    Fish tacos!
    Alby O.

    Excellent food, tortillas are freshly prepared with your orders, Birria was delicious. The server was very high energy, very nice and she was really happy to help us with our questions. Brought our order to the table and fish tacos were full size and flavor to compliment, hand made tortillas too just add to the authentic flavor. Birria was broth and full flavored, spiced and seasoned right on point. The location is hidden in a small corner of the plaza, plenty of parking. Casual dining vibes where you can relax for a quick bite.

    Big box chilaquiles with scrambled egg
    Johnny S.

    I ordered from here last minute for Mother's Day this was the only spot that was still taking orders online that was not that far. So I ordered the big box chilaquiles and also the wet burritos they both were with birria of course! And they did not disappoint! They were delicious! The big box chilaquiles were more then enough we got boxes for a family of 10 and we had some left over they were portioned right it had a over easy egg on top of the chips and a side of avocado slices bomb! The burritos were also really good! A lot of meat! Pricing was right for the quality for sure! This spot is small and in the corner of the shopping center so seating is limited for big parties. The service was 4 out 5 they really try my only gripe was they left the chilaquiles out for a while before they even had the burritos ready so they were really cold but not a deal breaker. I do recommend this spot!

    Señor Birria is hidden in a little shopping center. There's plenty of parking. Stopped by while I was in the area for a soccer game and really liked this spot. The vibe is chill, the music playing was good to enjoy with the fam. You order up front and they bring the food out to your table. They have aguas frescas, Mexican bottled sodas, beer, and micheladas. The horchata tasted authentic, and the michelada was made perfectly. The tacos were sooo good. I loved how crunchy they were, and the tortillas are handmade. The beef was soft, flavorful and had none of that gamey taste or extra squishy stuff some places have. They only had one salsa but honestly it was the perfect one for the tacos. The purple onion curtido had a nice kick, I could taste the fresh oregano. I'm deff glad I stopped by and would come back when I'm in the area again.

    The tacos are amazing and the best day is Tuesday. The meat is so flavorful Be sure to buy a cup of consomé for that extra kick ! The service was great and the tv inside was playing the dodger game !

    AMAZING food. This place looks really hidden and is a small place but with enough tables to sit and eat. The prices are average but it's worth the quality and flavor! Parking is easy since it's in a plaza. I 100% recommend the birria egg rolls and their salsa is really good and actually spicy. It is in a self serve area with the limes which is nice.

    I was in the area and I entered this place. I asked the cashier if the birria was beef? She didn't respond, she just made an upset face. I don't like goat meat so much, for that reason I asked. I asked her again and she said beef. Then I asked for my order to take out. The birria tastes very good, the cost of the tacos is good, I ordered quesabirrias. Which is cheese and birria tacos. Outside they have plenty of parking in the mall. I liked it, the only thing to improve would be customer service. It looks clean and organized.

    Was my first time.at this place and the food was great! I had a birria burrito and it was very tatsty, flavorful, meat was tender and generous portion. The horchata was awesome! The place is spacious and the service is good.

    Birria Tacos and Consome (Small)
    Nancy J.

    The Taco Tuesday deal is unreal for $1 birria tacos. Also got a small Consome for $4 which had generous amount of meat in it. The meat was tender and the sauces . Each taco was quite filing due to the amount of meat. The takeout experience was also seamless.

    Service here is the best I have ever experienced this year! Food was delicious and it helped with my monthly birria cravings. The restaurant itself was clean and for the toppings is self serve which is great. Cute shop in the corner. Definitely recommend this place.

    Ramen birria
    Sovannie E.

    Was looking for a birria spot and I think I found one! Ordered the ramen birria, dorado taco and a birria bowl. Flavorful and good portion, not too pricey. Service was quick, no complaints here and he was also nice enough to explain what certain food has. Inside has a nice mural inside. Decent seats for a good crowd. Will definitely come back

    Four birria tacos with the spicy, very good, purple onions.
    Robert C.

    The restaurant and dining area was very clean. The service was fast. With one person working the register, she was explaining the menu to first time customers in either English or Spanish, took phone orders, bagged and served up the orders, kept the condiment bins full and in between rushes, cleaned the tables. She was fantasti. The Birria tacos were good too. Can't wait for a return trip to try their other items.

    First time here and it was amazing, the food was delicious and the ambiance is very lively. It's a little small but it's never too crowded. I absolutely love it here.

    Steven P.

    Best Taco Tuesday deals I know of. But that doesn't say much because we don't frequent taco places as much because my picky eating kids. Anyway, the soft birria tacos are really good and flavorful. I would come every week if I live close by

    Crispy Birria taco and Roman Birria. Both are flavorful and delicious

    I'm honestly not sure why this place has so many negative reviews. It's one of the few local…read morerestaurants where you'll still find Olga making fresh, handmade tortillas right in-house, and that alone sets it apart. They don't cheap out on drinks or food, and the quality is consistently great. Portions are generous, and you get far more sides and extras here than at most Mexican restaurants in the area. The staff of ladies who work here are phenomenal--warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. There is only one older gentleman I've seen be rude to customers, but aside from that single exception, the service is excellent across the board. I judge Mexican restaurants heavily based on how they make a Cadillac margarita, and this place absolutely delivers. Everything that comes out of the kitchen is perfectly cooked, plentiful, and clearly made with care. For me, this restaurant is a solid five out of five. It's one of those spots that deserves far more credit than it gets. If you're looking for quality, authenticity, and great value, it's worth a visit.

The meal started with complimentary chips served alongside both a sweet mole and a savory, tangy mole sauce. It was something I'd never experienced before, and it was incredibly delicious. I ordered the chicken enmoladas, and they were generously stuffed with chicken and smothered in rich, flavorful mole. Every bite tasted authentic, comforting, and incredibly satisfying. For dessert, our waiter recommended the plantains in tequila sauce paired with a café de olla. They were so amazing that we completely devoured the dessert before I even remembered to take a picture! As first-time visitors, my guests and I were genuinely impressed by the quality of the food, the authentic flavors, and the warm service. We'll definitely be back, and I highly recommend giving this place a try if you're craving authentic Mexican cuisine.

Service is attentive, the food has its charm with in-house made tortillas. It really was a hard review to write because all the elements of a great restaurant is embodied in this hidden gem. I chalk it up to ordering the wrong items. The flavors did not pop for me. Hubby opted for the chorizo and he said it was decent and he described it as "diet chorizo"--that he'd probably needed to go back to Sinaloa to capture the true essence of "real" chorizo, the way it's meant to be. The star of his meal was the in-house made flour tortillas-now that's authentic! This is/was the reason that it leaned towards a 4 star. These looked and tasted phenomenal. The aroma took me back to the times when we visited Rosarito's Puerto Nuevo, as the lady made the tortillas by hand & pressed them in the comal, ahh, good times. I ordered the vegetarian omelette with beans & potatoes. The omelette was decent with fresh bell peppers & onions but the seasoning was so mild that I requested for salt & pepper. The potatoes appeared well seasoned in color but lacked that oomph that salt & pepper couldn't fix. My apple pancakes were average. While I appreciated the strawberry compote, there was no apple or apple taste in them. To wash everything down, I had cafe de olla, that was good. The aroma of the brown sugar & cinnamon was ever present. Estrella, our server was very welcoming, attentive and friendly, she gets 5 stars for her service with a smile & hospitality. Their lunch & dinner menu looked very appealing but we wanted breakfast items. We wish we were both molé enthusiasts then perhaps we would've better appreciated & enjoyed those offerings. Both indoor & outdoor seating (front & rear), parking is free & shared with their liquor store at this corner small plaza. Beware, no restrooms available. I'm glad we gave this little shop a try.
