Got home and noticed the gave me two pieces of it, which by the way was very, very tender and delicious. The two young ladies there (cashier and cook) were very kind and friendly. That being said, I highly recommend their menudo and I hope your experience is as good as mine.

Good deal They were only $13 then they took them prices off their menu. when you drive-through you don't know the price their going to charge.

Extremely disappointing portion size. The menu advertised birria as the main dish, but what I…read morereceived was mostly rice and beans with a very small serving of meat. Looking at the plate, it honestly feels like the rice is the entrée and the birria is just a side. The flavor was decent, but the portion of birria was nowhere near what I expected for the price. If you're ordering this expecting a hearty birria plate, be prepared to get a lot of rice and very little meat. I left feeling like I paid for a plate of sides rather than a birria meal. Would not order this again.

The Bautista family (which owns and runs the place) are fabulous - shout out to Christian, Danny, and Alex - and the food is simply superb. You can't beat the homemade tortillas (go with corn!), the adobada (my wife and oldest son are literally addicted to it), the carnitas...everything is top shelf. Eat in if you can because the food is better when it is hot and made to order. I am about to head there in a few minutes!

I was really disappointed that this place serves birria only on the weekends. I obviously didn't…read morelook at the menu before coming. They also only serve menudo on the weekends. Everything i wanted to eat was not available at all! I was sourly disappointed! Its not too small inside and it had a very small outdoor seating. Its nice and looks authentic inside. My server was really nice. She was a sweetheart! My cabeza taco was pretty good. The meat was very soft and tender. The salsa is very mild. It practically had 0 spice but it tasted good. The burrito meat was also bland and my chille rellano was pretty cheesy and tasty. I only gave this place 3 stars bc who doesn't serve birria daily?? Lol!

Worth eating here!…read more We were looking for a different taco shop to eat at tonight when we stubbled across this place. In talking to the owners, they have been here for just over a year.The location could be difficult to get to at certain times of the day. We tried the three taco plate, and the enchilada plate. Not disappointed at all with our choice. Food was hot and fresh, full of great flavor. We are looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu.

Getting into that plaza is a sport... getting out is an extreme sport!! You've been warned!! But once you survive rush hour Olympics, the reward hits. I tried the Tlayuda Oaxacana... basically a giant corn tortilla living its best life, piled with black beans, fresh queso Oaxaca, avocado, tomatoes, and a generous heap of flank steak. First time having it and wow... where has this been all my life? And the salsa? Oh, it doesn't play games. It showed up, chose violence, and left my lips buzzing and my ears ringing like I just left a concert. Painful? Yes.!!! Worth it? Absolutely!!!! Would definitely go back and willingly burn my mouth again and e joy this delicious treat!!

We loved it so much that we brought our good friends and our daughter to share the same experience. We noticed that one of the couples that we brought with us ordered tacos so this visit we decided to try it. We both ordered the Filet Mignon tacos, the lobster tacos and the shrimp. We were not disappointed. The food and the service was excellent as usual. I can't wait to go back. We highly recommend this restaurant.

We loved all the decorations. They were playing 80's music. Staff was attentive & the food was scrumptious. It was a total VIBE.

This place has my favorite birria and I love their aguas because you can do a chamoy and tajin rim, yum! My go to's are anything birria but quite honestly, everything is good. There are many things that are shareable, and the carne asada fries are my favorite. Tried their new loaded guacamole and taquitos de papas, and wow so tasty and delicious. The micheladas are also the best out there, and is a big portion so I usually split it with my husband.

Our son recommended Main Street and we discovered 3 competing Mexican food spots closely situated. I saw this spot and they had me at the word authentic on the sign. We arrived around noon on a Thursday and the place was empty. The convenient drive through makes things easy but we went inside. She ordered Chile Relleno which came with rice and beans and I asked for a chicken enchilada and a crunchy hard shell machaca taco, (shredded beef) with double frijoles. Chips and salsa and 2 beers. It all came out hot and fresh and the beer was ice cold. The home made salsa Roja had the very best flavor and it had the habanero kick we were looking for...so look out. The chips were fresh but had a touch too much salt. If your in the mood for authentic Mexican food you need to visit this spot. The clean dining room has televisions and the booths are comfortable. Did I mention the handmade authentic tortillas? oh boy oh boy oh boy.
