It looks very small from the outside as it's part of a small strip. But the seating is quite spacious and the menu is huge!

The salsa for the chips is very basic 2/5 stars.

It's quite a typical Tex-Mex place. We started with Guacamole and Chips. Then we ordered Gringo Taco and Birria Ramen. The taco came with rice and bean, it's flavorful as expected. The Birria Ramen is some new that I have never tried. Think of it as braised beef with noodles. The dish is flavorful, and I wonder instead of ramen (wheat based) noodle, it could be even better rice noodles because the beef and the broth is quite flavorful. A good spot to hang out, and watch a game or two.

He is super friendly and always asks us questions to get to know us and gives us recommendations for restaurants to try--I love it. He's amazing at explaining everything and you can just tell the passion and excitement that goes into this restaurant. It's located in a small old house and it's take out only, but they have some picnic tables to eat outside. I always get their most popular item: the quesabirria combo, which comes with a huge flour tortilla quesabirria (4 pieces cut, great for sharing) and consommé. It is sooo flavorful, cheesy, and tender. They use grass fed beef for their birria instead of traditional goat. I'm not a fan of goat meat so I absolutely love their version. The beef is so delicious!!

We went full tapas mode and shared everything across the table, which is absolutely the right way to do this. The trio of salsas was a strong opener. The smoky Al Morita was the clear winner for me, though all three brought something distinct to the table. The Patatas Bravas were well seasoned and the sunny side egg on top added a richness that elevated the whole dish. Wanted a little more crisp on the potatoes but honestly a minor note on an otherwise solid plate. Tacos were a mixed bag. The Al Carnitas fell flat, the pork belly felt underseasoned and the lime overpowered everything else. The Al Fundido though was a genuine standout. Perfectly cooked butterfly shrimp, pickled onions, melty cheese. Every component earning its place on the tortilla. The Al Chulo got solid marks from the table but could use something bright to cut through the richness. The Chicken Empanadas were a highlight of the night. Shatteringly crispy, loaded with flavor, and the slaw alongside them was exactly the right call. The Al Mango Salad was fresh and balanced but leaned sweet and desperately wanted a crunchy element and maybe a little heat to round it out. Dessert delivered a split decision. The Al Platanito Frito was the surprise of the evening. Sweet, sour, bright, crunchy. A perfect final bite. The churros were perfectly fine and nothing more. Service was attentive and our server steered us well with recommendations. One heads up: this is not a casual weeknight cheap eat. It is tapas priced for the experience, so come hungry, come with a group, and come ready to spend. Worth it. The Plainfield location is next on our list and we cannot wait.
