It's right outside of the light rail stop so if that's your mode of transportation it's really easy to get there. The quesabirria tacos are my favorite. I've gotten them many times and they are consistently great. You get 3 of them and they are generous with the meat, and the dipping sauce it comes with is amazing. We also tried the burrito grande and unfortunately were really disappointed. The burrito was mainly filled with rice/corn and overall lacking flavor. There was hardly any meat in it, which was surprising because the birria tacos had plenty. It seemed like there was more meat in one of the birria tacos than the entire grande burrito (which is much bigger). I'd rate the birria quesadillas 5/5 and the burrito grande 2/5. If they fix that burrito this restaurant would get 5 stars from me!

Highly recommend this neighborhood spot. We have been twice now in one week after moving to the…read moreneighborhood. From the moment our group walked in, we were warmly greeted and instantly drawn in by the thoughtfully designed, warm, chic interior. We were blown away by the intentional team-effort hospitality. Our server, bartender, and manager connected personally with each person in our group, walked us through the menu making thoughtful and authentic recommendations. The service manager Nina touched our table often and truly worked as a team with our server and bartender resulting in a seamless, efficient, and truly stand-out dining experience. Every dish brought to the table was delicious and flavorful - clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The tacos and lettuce wraps are must-order items. The drinks menu was impressively thoughtful and varied and each cocktail we ordered was balanced, refreshing, and exciting.We customized their Carajillo which outshined most of the Carajillos we have enjoyed over our travels to Mexico. The atmosphere is simultaneously warm and trendy which has clearly established the restaurant as a neighborhood favorite/staple. Can't wait to return to enjoy more of the food menu and the curated cocktail list. Do not miss out on dining/drinking here - you won't be disappointed.

The price wasn't terrible either.

There was an abundance of filling, 2 sauces & the consome had lots of tasty bits in it. The beans & rice were pretty basic, no frills and the serving size was plenty big enough.

Ben and Jerry's free ice cream cone day. After hanging out for half an hour with a live DJ,…read moredancing, and ice cream, we were ready for dinner. Priorities. What are we craving? Burgers? Nah. Pizza? Two maybes - plus the asker. Mexican? Again, two maybes. We start scouring possibilities. And come across a pizzaria + taqueria. Ratings at a very respectable 4.5. Curiosities at full peak. Plus it's close. We've got a winner. No guests inside when we arrive. Parking right out front. Before we even decide on an order, however, people start coming in. Several tables fill up within 10 minutes. Amusingly, the first next group grabbed the one curved booth with my full drink bottle still sitting on the table in the middle of them. They migrated to the semi-booth across the dining area. Clearly, the two most desired seating areas in the house. We ordered birria pizza and horchata - we have a tradition of testing the horchata at every next Mexican restaurant we try. This one was mid - not horrible, not great. Just was. We'd ordered a birria pizza recently, elsewhere. It came out as... a birria taco in pizza layout. Tortilla circle, birria middle, tortilla top. Meh. To be fair, that birria pizza was the only pizza item on that menu, so it made sense that their pizza just wasn't pizza-ing. We were hopeful for a very different experience this time. Especially given the very clear emphasis on pizza on this menu. Then the pizza came. Not only did it look glorious, a bowl of birria dip sat in the middle of the pizza, completing the birria experience. And it was absolutely fantastic. The birria, the ratio, the crust - everything was delicious. Except, as my friend pointed out, the horchata. It can't all be perfect, unfortunately. The pizza was so good that when we wrapped up the leftovers, a strip of end crust went in with the rest of the pie. Speaking of, I'm definitely ready to reheat all of that now - update: Awesome reheated. :) Next visit: Chorizo pineapple jalepeño pizza!

Marsu Pizzeria: The Battle for the Last Slice…read more I walked into Marsu Pizzeria already knowing two things: 1) I was about to have the best pizza of my life. 2) I was going to order way too much food and have no regrets. The place smelled like heaven--garlic, melted cheese, fresh dough. I took a seat, ready to devour a feast. A cheerful employee--let's call him Tony (because let's be real, every good pizzeria has a Tony)--walks up with a confident smile. Tony: "You ready for the best pizza of your life?" Me: "Tony, I've been training for this moment my whole life." I ordered the house special pizza (because if a pizza place has a signature pizza, you ORDER IT), plus some garlic knots, because I respect myself. The food came out fast, hot, fresh, and smelling like a dream. As I'm one slice away from food coma territory, I see it. The last slice. The holy grail. The perfect combination of cheese, sauce, and crispy crust, staring at me like it knows it's about to be devoured. Just as I'm reaching for it, Tony slides by the table, nodding at my plate. Tony: "You gonna finish that?" Me: "...I was planning on it, Tony." Tony: "You sure? I mean, we could put it up for auction. Bidding starts at one garlic knot." Me: "Not happening." Tony: "Alright, but just know... if you don't eat it in the next 30 seconds, I legally get to claim it." Now, I don't know what kind of pizzeria law Tony is operating under, but I wasn't about to test it. I stared him dead in the eyes as I picked up the last slice and took the biggest bite possible. Tony (nodding approvingly): "Good choice. That's the kind of hunger we respect around here." Long story short, Marsu Pizzeria has the best pizza, the best vibes, and employees who will absolutely test your commitment to finishing your food. Final score? 10/10 pizza. 10/10 service. 10/10 threats on my last slice.

The elote corn really threw me through a loop because it was SO wet. Almost everyone ordered it, and left us a bit dissapointed with how wet it was. Wouldnt order again. The fish taco was really good! I do wish they still had the nopales tacos :( Cherry marg was amazing, and im usually not a big fan of margaritas! Perfectly tart without being too sweet. Nachos were HUGE and layered really well - definitely needed for the entire table! When one of our drinks were forgotten, they gave us an extra to make up for it... which we really appreciated after the wait! Love u centro & especially your parking in the back!
