“ Let me tell you the place is not too big it only had two tables. But I'm here to talk about the food is real authentic Mexican food really delicious & they even have Mexican products like the paletas my favorite is the mango with chile is sweet and spicy at the same time very refreshing. Now the service was good very respectful gentlemen. ”
“ My go to for birria tacos! Hidden gem, amazing place! Must visit!! ”
“ Absolutely spectacular food! Fast service, authentic atmosphere, and we enjoyed every single thing we ate. The Birria tacos were some of the best we’ve ever had! My boyfriend also loved the chorizo. It was spicy, crispy, and delicious, and everything was fresh. We’ll definitely be coming again! ”
“ It was a very pleasant experience. The owner was very friendly, and the food was delicious. The place is very homey, and it's decorated with chilean art. They have 3 tables that can hold 6 or 7 people. I visited this cafe with my family (husband and toddler). We ate a completo, barros luco, and empanadas de queso. Everything was fresh and good. They also offer a large variety of pastries. We took home lemon merengue pie, berlin, alfajores, and torta tres leches. 5 stars! ”
“ Wow !! Dropped off a shirt at the cleaners on the corner today 5/14/25 and went side for some lunch. Spoke to girl behind the counter, very nice, wanted the NZ - grei burger but the girl convinced me to get the Mexican burger instead because the other burger involved making hash browns etc... Got the Mexican burger 15 minutes later, paid 10 total. Thought I was just getting a burger, nope I got a platter. Burger and seasoned fries. I added ketchup from one of the tables to my platter and left. Sat in the car and ate it at the nearby park. Pico de gallo, guacolmole, very fresh, plenty of, and delish. Didn't see the pepper jack, hey it happens. The small container of Chipotle mayo - dip a fry into that and tell me that's not heaven. For real, not kidding. If they used a fresh angus ground beef instead of a frozen burger this platter would be easily 16 and heaven. Though you need good turn over for the fresh burger part, hopefully in the future. In the interim....highly recommend and enjoy !! The edit is that I forgot to add photos....weird not seeing how to add photos. Ok np I will revisit 2nd edit. Forgot to mention, if they could add a plastic fork with the napkins that would be great for all the extra guac that falls out of the sandwich Thank you !! ”
“ Review on Birria Tacos only. As it's all I tried so far. Place: was a small but clean set up with a few small 2 top tables for people to sit and eat if they would like. Lady behind counter was pleasant and helpful. Food: this place has had the best Biria tacos I've had in the area local to my job. The tacos were filled generously with a really tasty, moist and well seasoned beef. It had the typical raw white onion, although many restaurants go a bit heavy handed with onion, especially since it's also in the consume. I was easily able to pick a few off and it didn't overwhelm the flavors like at a nearby competitor. The addition of sweet red pickled onions gave it a nice mix of flavors to offset the salty rich meats and they use a wet Oaxaca cheese melted onto the tortilla to add the creamy cheese chew. The tortillas was crisp, even after driving back to my job and did not fall apart even when dipping into consume. Now the consume... the consume was nicely rich and flavorful. It was darkly colored and they give you a nice large portion of it for my 3 tacos. I picked some of the raw onion out, but that may be a more personal preference. I will definitely be eating here again soon and would like to try out other menu items as well. I will update my review as needed. FINAL NOTE: It seems at one time this was a bakery with cakes and cookies on display but I don't think they do that anymore as I hadn't seen any baked goods at all. So just be aware that you won't be picking out baked goods from a case. But go for the Biria! ”
“ The Mexican burger is so good very seasoned I get it almost every time with no guac cooked to medium , I recently tried their bacon egg and cheese Mexican style for only 4.50 and let me tell you that’s the cheapest you’re finding a bacon egg and cheese around here, and it was to die for!! So happy I found this place. ”
